Treats of Queeker and Others—also of Youthful Jealousy1, Love, Poetry, and Confusion of Ideas.
Returning, now, to the moon-struck and Katie-smitten Queeker, we find that poetic2 individual walking disconsolately3 in front of Mr George Durant’s mansion4.
In a previous chapter it has been said that, after composing his celebrated5 lines to the lantern of the floating light, he resolved to drop in upon the Durants about tea-time—and well did Queeker know their tea-time, although, every time he went there uninvited, the miserable6 hypocrite expressed surprise at finding them engaged with that meal, and said he had supposed they must have finished tea by that time!
But, on arriving at the corner of the street, his fluttering heart failed him. The thought of the cousin was a stumbling-block which he could not surmount7. He had never met her before; he feared that she might be witty8, or sarcastic9, or sharp in some way or other, and would certainly make game of him in the presence of Katie. He had observed this cousin narrowly at the singing-class, and had been much impressed with her appearance; but whether this impression was favourable10 or unfavourable was to him, in the then confused state of his feelings, a matter of great uncertainty11. Now that he was about to face her, he felt convinced that she must be a cynic, who would poison the mind of Katie against him, and no power within his unfortunate body was capable of inducing him to advance and raise the knocker.
