We don't find Achilles any the less interestingbecause we doubt the ability of any degenerate modern to calmly destroysuch outnumbering hosts of his fellow beings, and send such a throng ofwarrior souls to hades without scath or scar to his invulnerable self. Ivanhoe got out of some very awkward scrapes by the exertion of aprowess quite exceptional in such a 'light-weight. ' The extravagance isnot glaring enough to discompose us. Surely a tolerable ...proximateapproach to possible existence ought to satisfy a not viciously captiouscritic.

It is pleasant to emerge from our little chintz-furnishedparlor, and lounge in castles of dimly magnificent extent, where we aresure to meet the choicest society; where some order their mighty huntersfrom the capacious stables, and others go out to drop a stag, or run afox, or bag a few pheasants in the preserves, just to get an appetitefor dinner, from which stupendous meal, tended by hosts of velvet-footedmenials and florid old-family butlers, resplendent ladies rise to retireto gorgeous drawing rooms of any draperied dimensions we may choose tofancy, leaving perhaps a score of gentlemen guests to quaff cobwebbedwines in unstinted goblets.
