Being his only pose, it SWINBURNE AS I KNEW HIM 33 may be forgiven him, but a pose it always seemed to me ; and I am not sure that Swinburne's boredom and impatience at the mention of gypsies was not due to the fact that he felt very much as I felt upon the matter. Though Watts- Dunton liked to think of himself, and was pleased that others should think of him, as half a gypsy and all a Bohemian, he v/as, as a matter of fact, an eminently respectable suburban solicitor, conservative of habit and... tastes, and so far from wishing to set at nought the established conventions, I am by no means sure that, in his heart, he did not entertain an unhappy, because secret and hopeless, passion for the late Mrs. Grundy. I say " hopeless " for the reason that he felt that, if not exactly "another's, " she could, none the less, " never be his. " The Borrow pose forbade the banns. Society (though never a suitor for her hand, Watts- Dunton liked to think of Dame Society as one of his Might-have- Beens, with whom F 34 SWINBURNE AS I KNEW HIM he occasionally permitted himself to ex- change non-committal compliments) would have consigned such a bride and bride- groom to social Coventry.
