And, above all, study, study,
study! All the genius in the world will not help you along with any
art unless you become a hard student. It has taken me years to master
a single part."
Salvini's visit to America has been fruitful of a double good. He has
shown forth the splendor of Italian genius, even revealing to us new
marvels in that mine of wealth, the works of the greatest Bard of
the English-speaking race; and he has gone back to Italy to tell
her people of things he has seen in the New World which his great
compatriot discovered--as wonderful in their way as any related by
Othello to Desdemona's willing ear.

CHAPTER XX.
TINTAGEL'S WALLS.
What was the matter with Harry Trelyon? His mother could not make out;
and there never had been much confidence between them, so that she
did not care to ask. But she watched, and she saw that he had, for
the time at least, forsaken his accustomed haunts and ways and become
gloomy, silent and self-possessed. Dick was left neglected in the
stables: you no longer heard his rapid clatter along the highway, with
the not over-melodious voice of his master singing "The Men of
Merry, Merry England" or "The Young Chevalier." The long and slender
fishing-rod remained on the pegs in the hall, although you could hear
the flop of the small burn-trout of an evening when the flies were
thick over the stream.
