Zuleika Dobson; Or, An Oxford Love Story
·
Sir Max Beerbohm
55
I
am
unattended
by
a
single
valet.
So
simple
a
way
of
life
repels
you?
You
would
never
be
called
upon
to
share
it.
If
you
married
me,
I
should
take
my
name
off
the
books
of
my
College.
I
propose
that
we
should
spend
our
honeymoon
at
Baiae.
I
have
a
villa
at
Baiae.
It
is
there
that
I
keep
my
grandfather’s
collection
of
majolica.
The
sun
shines
there
always.
A
long
olive-grove
secretes
the
garden
from
the
sea.
When
you
walk
in
the
garden,
you
know
the
sea
only
in
blue
glimpses
through
the
vacillating
leaves.
White-gleaming
from
the
bosky
shade
of
this
grove
are
several
goddesses.
Do
you
care
for
Canova?
I
don’t
myself.
If
you
do,
these
figures
will
appeal
to
you:
they
are
in
his
best
manner.
Do
you
love
the
sea?
This
is
not
the
only
house
of
mine
that
looks
out
on
it.
On
the
coast
of
County
Clare--am
I
not
Earl
of
Enniskerry
and
Baron
Shandrin
in
the
Peerage
of
Ireland?--I
have
an
ancient
castle.
Sheer
from
a
rock
stands
it,
and
the
sea
has
always
raged
up
against
its
walls.
Many
ships
lie
wrecked
under
that
loud
implacable
sea.
But
mine
is
a
brave
strong
castle.
No
storm
affrights
it;
and
not
the
centuries,
clustering
houris,
with
their
caresses
can
seduce
it
from
its
hard
austerity.
I
have
several
titles
which
for
the
moment
escape
me.
Baron
Llffthwchl
am
I,
and...
and...
but
you
can
find
them
for
yourself
in
Debrett.
