 cab, stopped, and informed me he was setting off to B, by Mr. Brontë's orders, to see how I was, for that he had been quite miserable ever since he got Miss 's letter. I found, on my arrival, that Papa had worked himself up to a sad pitch of nervous excitement and alarm, in which Martha and Tabby were but too obviously joining him The house looks very clean, and, I think, is not damp; there is, however, still a great deal to do in the way of settling and arranging,—enough to keep me disagreeably busy for some time to come. I was truly thankful to find Papa pretty well, but I fear he is just beginning to show symptoms of a cold: my cold continues better An article in a newspaper I found awaiting me on my arrival, amused me; it was a paper published while I was in London. I enclose it to give you a laugh; it professes to be written by an Author jealous of Authoresses. I do not know who he is, but he must be one of those I met The 'ugly men,' giving themselves 'Rochester airs,' is no bad hit; some of those alluded to will not like it,"

While Miss Brontë was staying in London, she was induced to sit for her portrait to Richmond. It is a crayon drawing; in my judgment an admirable likeness, though of course there is some difference of opinion on the subject; and, as usual, those best acquainted with the original were least satisfied with the resemblance. Mr. Brontë thought that it looked older than Charlotte did, and that her features had not been

 THE BLIND RUSH-SELLER.

his bundle of rushes in one corner of the small room, threw himself down in the old chair with a heavy sigh.

«Another day,” he murmured, ‘‘and not a penny, and the poor child half-famished. The good God pity us!”

In the meantime, little Matihl had crept to the hearth, and raking open the coals, she sat swaying herself to and fro, and whimpering in a babyish way.

“What is it little one?” called the old man.

“Oh, grandpap! I’m so tired, and so cold, and so very, very hungry. If we only had some supper!”

By a kind of instinct he turned his sightless eyes toward the one window, through whose dingy panes the pomp and splendor of the closing day were visible, and his lips moved silently, as if asking help from some source more compassionate than man.

“Run down to the baker's, Matihl,” he said, at last, his voice slow and hesitating, as if the resolution pained him, and ask him to trust me for a loaf. I think 1 can raise enough to pay him tomorrow.”

The child went off like a bird on the wing, her brown hair streaming behind her in disheveled masses; but in a few moments she returned, drooping and dispirited

‘He wouldn’t let me have it, grandpap,” she sobbed; ‘and ordered me out of the shop for a beggar.”

The old man made no answer, but leaned his head upon his hand, while the tears fell silently. The weary child soon sobbed herself to sleep. But still he sat there, in the purple twilight, silent, and thinking of the past.

For even this poor, blind Rush-Seller had his happy memories There had been a day, when he was young and strong, and as gallant a soldier, perhaps, as could be found in Rouen. His father, Piere De Courcy, was a wealthy and reputable citizen, and at his death Jacques had looked forward to the possession of a handsome income. But when that event occurred, he found, to his dismay and astonishment, that his father was a bankrupt. Too proud to remain in Rowen, he wandered off to the South of France. Here his wife died. Here, too, one fine day, when looking at a parade, a piece of artillery exploded, and the poor man was blind for life. But he still had one blessing left, an only son who was now growing to manhood. The son married, and of this union the little Matihl was the offspring. When she was a babe in her mother’s arms, her father went off to the Austrian wars, and in less than a month fell fatally wounded. His wife, too frail to endure the shock, soon followed her husband, and little Matibl and her blind, old grandfather were left alone in the world.

Actuated by that yearning, instinctive love of home, which is as deathless as the soul itself, they wandered back to Rouen. The quaint, old city was unchanged; but its streets were thronged with unfamiliar faces; and led along by his little grandchild, Jacques De Courcy found that he was as utterly unknown and forgotten in his native town as if he had never existed.

Friendless, nameless, and well-nigh penniless, yet too proud of heart to make himself known, he settled down in a humble quarter of the city, and took to selling rushes for a livelihood. A meagre subsistence it brought him, but the poor, old man could do nothing better; and he must do something, for the paltry sum which had accrued to him from the disposal of his house- hold effects was well-nigh gone.

And one sunny afternoon, strolling along with his little guide, and amusing himself by listening to the idle chat of the by-standers, he chanced upon a small crowd collected around the sale of some old books and second-hand furniture. The auctioneer had just put up an old chair, and was descanting quite volubly upon its rare merits. ‘It was worth buying,” he said, “as a relic, if nothing more. It had belonged to the De Courcies, one of the best families in Rouen in their day, and had been handed down from one to another as a kind of heir-loom.”

Old Jacques waited to hear no more. He arose, and groping across to where the old chair stood, fell to passing his hands over its quaint carvings with a kind of caressing fondness. It was the same, the dear old chair in which he had seen his father, and his grandfather before him, sit so often. With tears running down his furrowed cheeks he bought it back, glad to get it, though it took the last sous from his pocket. He had it conveyed to his poor lodgings, and those who noticed, wondered what in the world old Jacques, the Rush-Seller, wanted with the De Courcy chair.

And thus, having spent the last of his little mite of money, he had nothing to fall back upon when his rush-selling failed him; and poor little Matihl, as we have seen, was forced to go supperless to bed. She awoke in the morning with no prospect of breakfast. Her grandfather, worn-out by hunger and anxiety, was still asleep. Noiselessly the little thing unbolted the door

a Protestant clergyman, and have for the last twenty years of my life lived among the good people of F. It has been my practice during that time to keep a diary of events as they have occurred. Some chapters of this diary should be known. I have therefore taken the trouble to transcribe about fifty pages of it. After I had settled as the clergyman of this parish, I often felt a melancholy pleasure in recalling my youthful impressions. I thought especially of the happy years I had spent in D, where I had indeed lived on a very slender income, yet had the good fortune to secure many kind and sympathising friends. On this account I used to take great interest in all news concerning that place. One day I was horrified by the following passage in a letter handed to me by a friend, who, knowing of my former residence there, thought the news would interest me:—

 THE BLIND RUSH-SELLER.

259

and went out. The day was dawning grandly over quaint, old Rouen. The child went round to the window-ledge to look at her pansies. There were two pretty purple things, with lustrous, golden hearts. An old market-woman had given her the plant, and the child watched and nurtured it with a kind of adoration. Her pansy-pot was the shrine at which she worshiped. Looking at the dewy blossoms, a sudden thought flashed upon her. What if she should break them off and run out and sell them! Surely they would bring enough to buy them some breakfast! But her lips quivered, and tears filled her eyes. It almost broke her heart to give up her pansies. But she was so hungry, and poor grandpa would have no breakfast. At this last thought, she put out her hand resolutely and broke them off; then ran away as fast as she could.

At a corner of the market-place she paused breathless. A fine gentleman was passing by, and extending the tiny, brown hand that held the biossoms, she said timidly,

«Will you please, sir, buy my pansies?”

But he pushed on, well-nigh brushing them from her grasp. The next passer was an old countryman, with a wagon filled with milk-cans rattling ahead of him. The child put out her blossoms, and repeated her meek entreaty. The old man paused. His garden was overrun with such things, but the child’s little, eager face touched him.

«Buy your pansies?” he said. ‘‘Why, bless your poor, little heart, to be sure I will, if you want to sell ’em. What do you want for 'em?”

“Only enough to buy a loaf, sir. We are so hungry, grandpap and I.”

The countryman’s eyes filled with tears.

“Give me the blossoms,” he said. “I'll take 'em home to my little girl; and you come along, you poor, hungry, little bird, and get a drink o’ fresh milk.”

The child followed him eagerly, drinking the milk, and clutched at the wheaten roll he gave her. But before she had swallowed the second mouthful she paused, holding the bread in her hand.

“Why don’t you eat?” he said.

“Grandpap,” she half sobbed, ‘‘he’s so hungry, too!”

“Then take this,’ continued the man, drawing his sleeve across his eyes, “and run home and buy him some breakfast.”

He put a silver piece in her hand. She grasped it with dilating eyes.

“The good God reward you!” she murmured, kissing his hands vehemently. Then, before he was aware of her motion, she had disappeared.

“Grandpap! Oh, grandpap! see what I’ve got,” she cried, bursting into the little room a few minutes later; “see what I sold my pansies for. We'll have such a breakfast now, bread and sausage, and——”

But she stopped short, for, in the middle of the room, the old man lay prone on his face. She flew to his side, with a startled cry, tossing her silver piece into the old chair.

“Oh, grandpap!” raising his head, “ what is it? Speak to me, grandpap!”

The old man slowly roused, and tottered to his feet. His face looked ghastly, he had fasted so long, and he shook with weakness.

“Grandpap,” the child continued, “you shan’t be sick any more; it is because you’re hungry—you shall have plenty of breakfast now I’ve sold my pansies, and—oh! where is the money? I threw it in the chair when I was so frightened. Oh! it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s slipped down behind the cushion,” she said, examining it closely. ‘May I try to raise the cushion up and find it?”

“Yes; but don’t hurt the old chair, Matihl,” said the old man, anxiously.

The child ran her little fingers into every crevice, and at last she fell to working vigorously at the huge cushion. It was covered with leather beneath the brocatelle, but it was decayed and rotten, and a few vigorous tugs from her nervous little hands broke it loose with a crash.

“Oh, grandpap!” she cried, starting back in amazement, for, as it yielded, a glittering stream came flashing and tinkling to the floor.

The old man, hearing the sound, crossed over. A sudden light seemed to dawn upon him. He threw up his hands, and cried,

“Shut the door, Matihl, and tell me what they are like.”

The child obeyed, dropping on her knees before the old chair.

‘‘Here’s jewels, grandpap,” she said, in an awed whisper, ‘‘just like the empress wore when she rode through Rouen that day—whole heaps of ’em, as bright as stars; and great piles of gold, and papers with Jacques De Courcy marked on ’em.’’

“Put them all back, Matihl,” said the old man, quietly; ‘and then run down to the good abbe’s and ask him to come here.”

“But our breakfast, grandpap?” said the child, pausing in the door-way.

“We can afford to wait a little while for

ROBERT AND THE ROBIN. — OCTOBER.

that, " replied the old man, smiling. "We shall never want for breakfasts any more, little Matihl."

" This is a letter from Piere De Courcy," said the abbe, after a careful examination of the contents of the chair, "telling his only son, Jacques De Courcy, that these treasures were concealed in the chair, in order that, if fortune went against him, he might have something to fall back upon. But the chair seems to have passed from the family. Where can this Jacques De Courcy be?" "I am the man," said the old Rush- Seller, proudly. Jacques De Courcy, son of Piere De Courcy, thank God!"

After that morning, the market-people missed the old Rush-Seller and his little granddaughter, and passing the sunny nook where they had stood so long, wondered what had become of them. If they had chanced to pass the ancestral villa, formerly occupied by the De Courcies, they would have found them. The old man sitting in his garden, and little Matibl tending her roses and pansies that grew along its borders, the happiest pair that could be found in the quiet, sunny, old city.

ROBERT

AND THE

ROBIN.

BY ELIZABETH BOUTON. ROBERT and robin were out on the lea, And the robin was merry as robin could be ; I saw him sit singing the spruces among, Sipping the dew from their branches hung; Eagerly singing of things that he knew, Dancing so lightly in ether so blue.

Airily swinging, like spirit in air, He seemed to be singing, " You know I don't care.” I wonder what makes him so frank and so free, What makes him keep telling that story to me; He seems to be saying, "You know it is true, And that's why I'm telling the story to you."

Holding on to a twig with his little brown hands, Talking of things he so well understands, Singing, at least so it seemed unto me, Of things that he fancied no other could see ; Airily swinging like pendulum there, He seemed to be saying, " You know I don't care."

But while I am looking the robin has flown, And the dew on the spruce has exhaled and is gone; And while I am thinking the songster has fled, And the wind shakes the bough, and its odors are she-; He has gone like the wind through the ether so bine, But the soul of his song lives with me and with you.

So careless he seems, idly fluttering there, So thoughtlessly saying, " You know I don't care ;" So fearlessly telling whatever he knows, Unmindful what wit and what folly he shows ; I wonder what makes him so frank and so free, What makes him keep telling that story to me.

He has gone like the wind away over the town, With his eye full of light, and his heart full of down ; And Robert sits looking up into the sky, And wishing he, too, like the robin might fly; And the bird means, be happy, be careless, be free, For the hand that has made, cares for you and for me.

OCTOBER. BY MATTIE WINFIELD TORREY.

A GLORY rests o'er all the sea and land; The hills are folded in a robe of mist; Across the hyaline, by daylight spanned, The clouds are wrought of purest amethyst. The languid air is heavy with the sweet Of Summer flowers dying 'neath our feet.

The royal Autumn, queenly in her pride, Comes forth attended by a fairy train; About her all the softest odors glide, Sweet music chaunts for her its low refrain. We catch her noiseless footfalls 'neath the shade, And mark the sunshine by her presence made.

Our life is launched upon a sea of dream, Above whose misty depths we float serene ; We revel in the light that o'er us beams, As on we glide the sea and sky between. The dew of morn upon our pathway lies, And evening wraps us in her tyrian dyes.

Rich globes of honeyed sweets hang in the sun, Their ruby blushes deepening day by day; From all the golden Summer they have won, The treasured stores so deftly hid away. With nectared hip, and downy cheek they shine, A sumptuous banquet for a taste divine.

The winds are hushed to stillness ; on the air There falls the drowsy hum of insect life; The droning beetle hurls, with little care, His whirring lance of sound amid the strife. Our lives flow on toward the sunset verge, With neither break of wave nor roar of surge.

 When the train started once more, and dinner was announced by a violent ringing of bells, Katherine went along to it much relieved in mind. Her vis-á-vis to-night was of an entirely different kinda small man, distinctly foreign in appearance, with a rigidly waxed moustache and an egg-shaped head which he carried rather on one side. Katherine had taken in a book to dinner with her. She found the little man's eyes fixed upon it with a kind of twinkling amusement.

"I see, Madame, that you have a Roman Policier. You are fond of such things?"

"They amuse me," Katherine admitted.

The little man nodded with the air of complete understanding.

"They have a good sale always, so I am told. Now why is that, eh, Mademoiselle? I ask it of you as a student of human naturewhy should that be?"

Katherine felt more and more amused.

"Perhaps they give one the illusion of living an exciting life," she suggested.

He nodded gravely.

"Yes; there is something in that."

"Of course, one knows that such things don't really happen," Katherine was continuing, but he interrupted her sharply.

"Sometimes, Mademoiselle! Sometimes! I who speak to youthey have happened to me."

She threw him a quick, interested glance.

"Some day, who knows, you might be in the thick of things," he went on. "It is all chance."

 "I don't think it is likely," said Katherine. "Nothing of that kind ever happens to me."

He leaned forward.

"Would you like it to?"

The question startled her, and she drew in her breath sharply.

"It is my fancy, perhaps," said the little man, as he dexterously polished one of the forks, "but I think that you have a yearning in you for interesting happenings. Eh bien, Mademoiselle, all through my life I have observed one thing'All one wants one gets!' Who knows?” His face screwed itself up comically. "You may get more than you bargain for."

"Is that a prophecy?" asked Katherine, smiling as she rose from the table.

The little man shook his head.

"I never prophesy," he declared pompously. "It is true that I have the habit of being always rightbut I do not boast of it. Good-night, Mademoiselle, and may you sleep well."

Katherine went back along the train amused and entertained by her little neighbour. She passed the open door of her friend's compartment and saw the conductor making up the bed. The lady in the mink coat was standing looking out of the window. The second compartment, as Katherine saw through the communicating door, was empty, with rugs and bags heaped up on the seat. The maid was not there.

Katherine found her own bed prepared, and since she was tired, she went to bed and switched off her light about half-past nine.

1911] the wind comes up with a rush to fade in an hour or two. Clouds chase over the sky in similar fashion: the moon has dipped during daylight hours, and so one way and another there is little to attract one out of doors.

Yet we are only nine days off the ‘light value’ of the day when we left off football—I hope we shall be able to recommence the game in that time.

I am glad that the light is coming, for more than one reason. The gale and consequent inaction not only affected the ponies, Ponting is not very fit as a consequence—his nervous temperament is of the quality to take this wintering experience badly—Atkinson has some difficulty in persuading him to take exercise—he managed only by dragging him out to his own work, digging holes in the ice. Taylor is another backslider in the exercise line and is not looking well. If we can get these people to run about at football all will be well. Anyway, the return of the light should cure all ailments physical and mental.

Tuesday, July 18.—A very brilliant red sky at noon to-day and enough light to see one's way about.

This fleeting hour of light is very pleasant, but of course dependent on a clear sky, very rare. Went round the outer berg in the afternoon; it was all I could do to keep up with ‘Snatcher’ on the homeward round—speaking well for his walking powers.

Wednesday, July 19.—Again calm and pleasant. The temperature is gradually falling down to −35°. Went out to the old working crack north of Inaccessible Island

 She woke with a sudden start; how much time had passed she did not know. Glancing at her watch, she found that it had stopped. A feeling of intense uneasiness pervaded her and grew stronger moment by moment. At last she got up, threw her dressing-gown round her shoulders, and stepped out into the corridor. The whole train seemed wrapped in slumber. Katherine let down the window and sat by it for some minutes, drinking in the cool night air and trying vainly to calm her uneasy fears. She presently decided that she would go along to the end and ask the conductor for the right time so that she could set her watch. She found, however, that his little chair was vacant. She hesitated for a moment and then walked through into the next coach. She looked down the long, dim line of the corridor and saw, to her surprise, that a man was standing with his hand on the door of the compartment occupied by the lady in the mink coat. That is to say, she thought it was the compartment. Probably, however, she was mistaken. He stood there for a moment or two with his back to her, seeming uncertain and hesitating in his attitude. Then he slowly turned, and with an odd feeling of fatality, Katherine recognized him as the same man whom she had noticed twice beforeonce in the corridor of the Savoy Hotel and once in Cook's offices. Then he opened the door of the compartment and passed in, drawing it to behind him.

An idea flashed across Katherine’s mind. Could this be the man of whom the other woman had spokenthe man she was journeying to meet.

Then Katherine told herself that she was romancing.

 In all probability she had mistaken the compartment.

She went back to her own carriage. Five minutes later the train slackened speed. There was the long plaintive hiss of the Westinghouse brake, and a few minutes later the train came to a stop at Lyons.

 264 KATE'S WINTER IN WASHINGTON.

speak to you last night. I scolded Kate well for not asking you to come with us."

"You were very kind to take so much trouble on my account, " returned Everett, stiffly.

" Ah ! now you needn't be stately, " said Circe, in a plaintive tone. "See how good I have been to you! I have kept Kate away from all those devouring dragons, and made her dance with my husband . I think you might be a little grateful, instead of glaring as if you were the wolf in Red Riding Hood, and meant to eat poor little me."

"I am at a loss to understand why I should be especially grateful, " Everett said, coldly.

"Oh, nonsense! You needn't attempt that with me," returned Mrs. Marsden, shaking her head and laughing gayly. "I know all about it, so you may just as well be frank with me."

"I don't see any necessity either for frankness or reserve, " replied Everett ; and his words would have sounded rude had they not been softened by his tone and manner.

"You are not behaving well to me!" exclaimed Circe, with a bewildering glance from the emerald eyes. " Ah, Harry! we used to be good friends. Why do you dislike and avoid me always now ?"

It was not easy to tell her the truth, that he knew her thoroughly, so Everett answered,

"I was not conscious of having done so. "

" Please don't deny it- I'd rather you were frank. This fall, when I was in New York, you never came near me ; never answered my little note last summer. I don't think it was nice of you, Harry, for when you were here last winter we were such good friends ! Do tell me what I have done?"

Another long, bewitching glance of those dangerous eyes ; but it had no effect whatever on Everett, except to put him more on his guard, and make him feel as if the pretty creature hanging on his arm were a lithesome snake, only waiting an opportunity to sting.

CHAPTER III.

YES, they had been good friends the previous winter, when Everett was in Washington; that is, in plain English, before Everett knew where he was, he found himself involved in a flirtation, from which he extricated himself with considerable difficulty.

There was no wrong where he was concerned, beyond the folly of having said and looked foolish things; but circumstances transpired which made him well acquainted with the real characters of both husband and wife; and he felt that he would rather see Kate dead than the intimate friend of Circe, as people called her; that to behold the girl he loved with Marsden's arm about her waist was a positive degradation, which absolutely made his blood run cold to watch.

And Circe was whispering again in his ear; and sweet as the voice was, it sounded to Everett like a hiss, and he longed to strangle the woman where she stood.

"You haven't asked me to dance, Harry-you used to like to waltz with me, or you said so." "I believe my dancing days are about over, Mrs. Marsden," he answered.

"Mrs. Marsden! So you won't be friends? Oh! what have I done to you, Harry? I suppose I must say Mr. Everett now. "

"I thought we were very good friends," Everett said, ignoring the latter part of her speech.

"When you treat me in such a stately way! No, no, I remember how different you can be! Oh, dear! I'm such a silly little thing-1 never can forget. "

And then a sigh, a quick glance, a slight pressure on his arm, all beautifully done, but wasted, and Circe felt it, and began to hate him accordingly.

"Allow me the pleasure of this waltz," cried she, with a sudden change of manner and a merry laugh. "Leap year, is it not? Oh! you cross old bachelor, I am furious with you ; but you shall dance. "

There was nothing for it but to whirl her off into the ring, of course ; and she lay back in his arms, and looked up in his eyes, and whispered.

"Have you forgotten how jealous Marsden got of our waltzing so much together?”

The recollection made Everett set his teeth hard, and he mentally called Circe the daughter of a dreadful old personage, who lives in a very hot place, and devoutly wished that she might go straight to her natural home.

He believed in his heart that it had been a deliberate plot between husband and wife to force him into paying a lot of money -and he had good reason for his suspicions ; but it had been a failure, and the doughty colonel found himself met in so decided a manner that he had been glad to be the first to retreat, and smooth matters over as well as he was able.

When the dance was ended, Everett got rid of his tormentor and went in search of Kate.

"I owe you many thanks for paying so much regard to your promise of last night, ” said he.

Kate was just getting her breath after the last rapid whirl, and asked, thoughtlessly,

1. Given the unprecedented global interest and public scrutiny in this case, as can be gathered from, inter alia, media reports and global demonstrations, the reader of the present Order must be cautious not to assume or conclude that, by indicating provisional measures, the Court has already made a determination that the State of Israel (“Israel”) has actually violated its obligations under the Genocide Convention. This is certainly not the case at this stage of the proceedings, since such a finding could only be made at the stage of the examination of the merits in this case (see Order, paragraph 30). Nor must one assume that the Court has definitively determined whether the rights that the Republic of South Africa (“South Africa”) asserts, and for which the Applicant seeks protection pendente lite, actually exist. At this stage, the Court is only concerned with the preservation through the indication of provisional measures of those rights that the Court may subsequently adjudge to belong to either Party, pending its final decision in the case (see Order, paragraphs 35-36). In this regard, the Court has stated as follows:

"“The Court is not called upon, for the purposes of its decision on the Request for the indication of provisional measures, to establish the existence of breaches of the Genocide Convention, but to determine whether the circumstances require the indication of provisional measures for the protection of rights under this instrument. [The Court] cannot at this stage make definitive findings of fact, and the right of each Party to submit arguments in respect of the merits remains unaffected by the Court’s decision on the Request for the indication of provisional measures.” (Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (The Gambia v. Myanmar), Provisional Measures, Order of 23 January 2020, I.C.J. Reports 2020, pp. 24-25, para. 66.)"

2. Similarly, one should not make the mistaken assumption that the Court has already determined that it has jurisdiction to entertain South Africa’s claims on the merits or that it has already found those claims to be admissible. Both of those issues are to be determined at a later phase of the case, after South Africa and Israel have each had an opportunity to submit arguments in relation thereto (see Order, paragraph 84).

 266 KATE'S WINTER IN WASHINGTON.

times? Encouraged young girls to receive her husband’s attentions, as she does you; then suddenly gone off into a pretended jealous fit, and made them absurd, or worse, in the eyes of the whole world.”

“You are talking worse than nonsense!” exclaimed Kate.

“It is not, as you will find to your cost——”

“Excuse me, Mr. Graves is coming. I promised to dance with him.”

“Then you refuse to listen? You wish me to think ycu utterly heartless and indifferent?”

“You must think what you choose—I am sick of scenes!

As Everett stood silently raging, up came Kate's partner. At the same instant Circe, who had been watching, glided near, and whispered to her,

“Is my lord playing master already? Be a good little girl and obey—we are only women, and must give up our wills.”

Kate was hurried away with a storm of angry thoughts in her mind; and Circe stood close by Everett, and was saying in her softest voice,

Can’t we be friends, Harry? Only say that you do not absolutely hate me! I’m a silly thing, but I cannot bear to think anybody is vexed with me; and I like little Kate so much— oh, so much!”

CHAPTER IV.

Mr. Wallingford possessed the doubtful advantage of being one of the rulers of this blessed country; and as his Senatorial term had only lately commenced, the pleasant days were still making sunshine about his path. That is to say, he was still approved of, his speeches admired, his course considered that of a true patriot; and he received success, as he had done most things in this life, with perfect composure.

Kate had come on to spend the winter with him, and beyond a short season during the past summer; society and its gayeties were entirely new to her; for, though almost nineteen, she had only then emerged from the retirement of  a quiet school in the country, where her uncle had seen fit to keep her much longer than the generality of the wonderful and precocious young women of this land will consent to be detained.

Harry Everett she had known all her life, and probably neither of them could have told when the affection that existed between them began; and I am inclined to think that a love like that brings with it, at least to a young girl, many doubts as to whether it be the strong passion of which she has dreamed and read. At least, it was so in Kate’s case, and she had felt it more than ever since the wiater began.

It was only that summer that anything like an engagement had existed between them; and with Kate’s disposition, the mere fact of feeling herself in the slightest degree fettered and bound, rendered her impatient, and brought up all sorts of doubts and fears to haunt her like black shadows.

Everett had been several days in Washington now, and daily these feelings had grown stronger. He had not behaved wisely, not even well; and Kate’s conduct might have been characterized, perhaps, by harsher terms.

The demon of flirtation and teasing seemed to have taken full possession of her; the innate love of approbation and attention which was in her character, rapidly developed under the influence of her new life; it really seemed as if there had been some radical change in her whole nature. Then, too, she got into her little head those ideas that young women are very apt‘to during a first season in Washington, that there is nothing worthy a man’s attention but politics; and as Harry Everett had developed no taste whatever in that direction, she began comparing him with men double his age, and deciding that he had neither the requisite talent or energy to satisfy a mind like hers.

When a woman begins to think that of her lover or her husband, a dangerous blow has been struck at any possibility of mutual peace and happiness.

But that was not all; Circe gained every day fresh influence over her—she was just the sort of person to fascinate a girl of Kate's age, and she was unsparing in her efforts. And Circe inoculated her with that most unfortunate malady that any woman, at least a young one, can be troubled with—an insane desire to mix herself up with politics, to make what French people would call a salon; to fancy herself con-  fided in by men of position; to attempt to direct  the votes of lesser lights when any measure came up in which the party she espoused was interested; to coax here, wheedle there, attempt  to have a motive for every word and glance; in  short, to get herself in such a muddle generally,  that she fancies herself sailing smoothly away  upon a bottomless sea, while she is only out a  short distance in very muddy water, and, unless she has extraordinarily good luck, is   pretty sure to run her frail little barque against  some hidden snag, and come to grief.

Don’t imagine that I am going to treat you to

Page:South Africa v. Israel (Order of 26 January 2024).pdf/33

3. In its Application instituting proceedings before the Court, South Africa invoked, as a basis for the Court’s jurisdiction, Article IX of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (“Genocide Convention”) and Article 36, paragraph (1), of the Statute of the Court. Both South Africa and Israel are parties to the Genocide Convention, without reservation (see Order, paragraph 18). Accordingly, for the purposes of the provisional measures Order, the Court’s prima facie jurisdiction is limited to the Genocide Convention and does not extend to alleged breaches of international humanitarian law (“IHL”). Thus, while it is not inconceivable that grave violations of international humanitarian law amounting to war crimes or crimes against humanity could have been committed against the civilian populations both in Israel and in Gaza (a matter over which the Court has no jurisdiction in the present case), such grave violations do not, in and of themselves, constitute “acts of genocide” as defined in Article II of the Genocide Convention, unless it can be demonstrated that they were committed “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such”.

4. Furthermore, I am also strongly of the view that the controversy or dispute between the State of Israel and the people of Palestine is essentially and historically a political or territorial (and, I dare say, ideological) one. It calls not only for a diplomatic or negotiated settlement, but also for the implementation in good faith of all relevant Security Council resolutions by all parties concerned, with a view to finding a permanent solution whereby the Israeli and Palestinian peoples can peacefully coexist. It is my considered opinion that the dispute or controversy is not a legal one calling for judicial settlement by the International Court of Justice. Unfortunately, the failure, reluctance or inability of States to resolve political controversies such as this one through effective diplomacy or negotiations may sometimes lead them to resort to a pretextual invocation of treaties like the Genocide Convention, in a desperate bid to force a case into the context of such a treaty, in order to foster its judicial settlement: rather like the proverbial “Cinderella’s glass slipper”. In my view, the present case falls in this category, and it is precisely for this, and other reasons articulated in this dissenting opinion, that I have voted against the provisional measures indicated by the Court in operative paragraph 86 of this Order. An appreciation of the historical controversy between the State of Israel and the people of Palestine is a necessary prerequisite to appreciating the context in which the Court is seised with the present case.

5. The United Nations has been heavily involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict throughout its history. In 1947, only two years after the founding of the United Nations, the General Assembly recommended a plan of partition regarding the government of the Mandate of Palestine. That plan provided for the creation of two independent States—one Jewish and one Arab—in recognition of the dual rights of self-determination by the Jewish and Arab inhabitants of the land (General Assembly resolution 181 (II) of 29 November 1947). This laid the foundation for the creation of the State of Israel in May 1948. Unfortunately, the rejection of the partition plan by certain Arab leaders and the outbreak of war in 1948 prevented the realization of the laudable goal of two States for two peoples. Since that time, and in particular since the Israeli seizure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, the United Nations has remained seised of the conflict.

6. In 1967, the Security Council in its resolution 242 affirmed that “the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East” required the fulfilment of the two interdependent conditions of

 Israeli withdrawal from territories it had seized in the conflict and recognition of Israel’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and “right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force” (Security Council resolution 242 of 22 November 1967). In 1973, in resolution 338, which called for a ceasefire in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, the Security Council again decided that “immediately and concurrently with the ceasefire, negotiations shall start between the parties concerned under appropriate auspices aimed at establishing a just and durable peace in the Middle East” (Security Council resolution 338 of 22 October 1973). This emphasis on the importance of the Israeli-Palestinian and broader Arab-Israeli peace process was subsequently affirmed by the General Assembly, which has emphasized the need to achieve a “just and comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict” (General Assembly resolution 47/64 (D) of 11 December 1992).

7. The international community’s focus on encouraging negotiation between the parties has borne fruit, including the 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt and 1994 peace agreement between Israel and Jordan. Most notably, the 1993 Oslo Accords resulted in the recognition by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (“PLO”) of the State of Israel and the recognition by Israel of the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people. The Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements, signed by representatives of both parties, endorsed the framework set out in Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 and expressed the parties’ agreement on the need to “put an end to decades of confrontation and conflict, recognize their mutual legitimate and political rights, and strive to live in peaceful coexistence and mutual dignity and security and achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement and historic reconciliation through the agreed political process” (Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements, 13 September 1993). Although the Oslo Accords have not yet been fully implemented, they continue to bind the parties concerned and to provide a framework for allocating responsibilities between Israeli and Palestinian authorities and informing future negotiations.

8. Since that time, the United Nations has repeatedly affirmed the need for negotiations aimed at achieving a two-State solution and resolving the dispute between Israel and Palestine. In 2003, the Security Council, in resolution 1515, “[e]ndorse[d] the Quartet Performance-based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” (the Quartet was composed of representatives of the United States, European Union, Russian Federation and United Nations) (Security Council resolution 1515 of 19 November 2003). In that resolution, the Security Council “[c]all[ed] on the parties to fulfil their obligations under the Roadmap in cooperation with the Quartet and to achieve the vision of two States living side by side in peace and security” (ibid.). Similarly, the Security Council in 2008 declared its support for negotiations between the parties and “support[ed] the parties’ agreed principles for the bilateral negotiating process and their determined efforts to reach their goal of concluding a peace treaty resolving all outstanding issues” (Security Council resolution 1850 of 16 December 2008). In 2016, the Security Council again recalled both parties’ obligations and “[c]alled upon all parties to continue, in the interest of the promotion of peace and security, to exert collective efforts to launch credible negotiations on all final status issues in the Middle East peace process” (Security Council resolution 2334 of 23 December 2016). In this regard, the Security Council “urg[ed] … the intensification and acceleration of international and regional diplomatic efforts and support aimed at achieving without delay a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East” (ibid.).

9. The General Assembly has likewise regularly recalled the Oslo Accords and the Quartet Roadmap in its resolutions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. For example, the General Assembly has:

“[r]eiterate[d] its call for the achievement, without delay, of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions,

 including Security Council resolution 2334 (2016), the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet road map, and an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967, including of East Jerusalem, and reaffirms in this regard its unwavering support, in accordance with international law, for the two-State solution of Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders, based on the pre-1967 borders”. (See General Assembly resolution 77/25 of 6 December 2022; General Assembly resolution 76/10 of 1 December 2021; General Assembly resolution 75/22 of 2 December 2020.)

10. Finally, the Court has itself previously pronounced on the importance of continued negotiations. In its Advisory Opinion on the Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the Court explained:

"“Since 1947, the year when General Assembly resolution 181 (II) was adopted and the Mandate for Palestine was terminated, there has been a succession of armed conflicts, acts of indiscriminate violence and repressive measures on the former mandated territory. The Court would emphasize that both Israel and Palestine are under an obligation scrupulously to observe the rules of international humanitarian law, one of the paramount purposes of which is to protect civilian life. Illegal actions and unilateral decisions have been taken on all sides, whereas, in the Court’s view, this tragic situation can be brought to an end only through implementation in good faith of all relevant Security Council resolutions, in particular resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973). The ‘Roadmap’ approved by Security Council resolution 1515 (2003) represents the most recent of efforts to initiate negotiations to this end. The Court considers that it has a duty to draw the attention of the General Assembly, to which the present Opinion is addressed, to the need for these efforts to be encouraged with a view to achieving as soon as possible, on the basis of international law, a negotiated solution to the outstanding problems and the establishment of a Palestinian State, existing side by side with Israel and its other neighbours, with peace and security for all in the region.” (Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Advisory Opinion, I.C.J. Reports 2004 (I), pp. 200-201, para. 162.)"

11. As can be seen from the above history, it is clear that a permanent solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can only result from good faith negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian representatives working towards the achievement of a just and sustainable two-State solution. A solution cannot be imposed from outside, much less through judicial settlement. This context must be kept in mind in assessing South Africa’s Application and Request for the indication of provisional measures.

12. On 7 October 2023, thousands of members of the Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (“Islamic Resistance Movement” or “Hamas”), a Palestinian Sunni Islamic political and military organization governing the Gaza Strip, invaded the territory of the State of Israel under cover of thousands of rockets fired indiscriminately into Israel and committed massacres, mutilations, rapes and abductions of hundreds of Israeli civilians, including men, women and children. (Israel reports that over 1,200 people were murdered that day, more than 5,500 maimed, and over 240 hostages abducted, including infants, entire families, the elderly, the disabled, as well as Holocaust survivors.) According to Israel, most of the hostages remain in captivity or are simply unaccounted for and many have been tortured, sexually abused, starved or killed while in captivity.

 KATE'S

WINTER IN WASHINGTON .267

politics—nothing of the sort; but it was necessary to give you, in as few words as possible, a clear understanding of what my heroine was about, and the troubled weather she was likely to bring into her sky, through her own restlessness, and the machinations of her pretended friend.

For Circe could no more have lived without being the head and center of all sorts of plots and artifices, and something on hand to make her life like a French play or a sensation novel, than an opium-eater could without his drugs.

That was the way the Marsdens lived—lobby ists by profession; and they seemed to make it pay, judging from the style in which they lived and Circe’s elegant dressing; she had perfect taste—I always have forgiven her a great deal for that. By-the-way, it is odd, that virtue so often has no eye for color, but will mix tints up in a way that make one sea-sick to look at. I am sure there is some profound metaphysical marvel hidden under that fact, only I have not time to discuss it. Of course, the Marsdens needed Kate; they hoped through her to approach the Senator—and neither cared for the means employed. Philip Marsden was to the full as fascinating as his wife—words could not go further. It was per- fectly useless to have been warned against him, you could not resist his spells. Ten to one, after you have been duped and learned to avoid him, if you were able to hate him as you would have done another man, and about the only way to be sure of not being again taken in by his frankness, or his brilliant schemes, or his penitence, if that suited his purpose, was to keep out of his presence forever.

Kate was the same to Mr. Wallingford as if she had been his own daughter; but he was too much engrossed in the duties of his life to do more than see that she was comfortable in all material ways; and as as far society claims went, he expected those details to devolve upon her, both in the matter of visits and decisions as to the list of guests to be received in their own home.

So there was nobody to warn her against the intimacy into which she had rushed with the Marsdens—that is, nobody besides Harry Everett; and though it cannot be said that he failed in his duty, his efforts and expostulations naturally made her more headstrong and determined. He seemed to have forgotten his New Orleans trip; there he staid and badgered Kate’s life out, and did much more harm than good, as people usually do in such cases.

They quarreled fiercely, and it did seem that the end must be near many times; but in spite  of their mutual obstinacy and wrong-headed-  ness, they were both so true-hearted that the  painful climax was slower in being reached  than it would have been with a pair possessed  of less brains and capabilities of affection.

Lily Marsden did her best to widen the breach; she wormed herself so artfully into Kate’s confidence that, although the girl was not in the least of the gushing order, it became as natural to utter her thoughts to Lily as to think them.

“You are letting that man torment you out of your senses,” she said one day, as she sat with  Kate in the pretty morning-room Mr. Walling- ford had had fitted up for his niece’s especial  benefit. “Just let him ruin all your enjoyment, and your peace into the bargain.” Mrs. Marsden had come in as Harry Everett was leaving, after a stormy scene, the effects of  which were plainly visible in both Kate’s face  and his, at least to the eyes of the astute  manoeuvrer.

Kate sighed and felt like a martyr, which was a sort of consolation for the moment, as it is to  most people, though she was really troubled and  suffering. “Poor child!” continued Mrs. Marsden, “I know it is hard, but it is what most women have  to bear—learning that their first fancy was only  an ideal. But then we women live through so much. Heigh-ho!”

«Are you not out of spirits, too, this morning?” Kate asked.

“Oh, no! not up to concert pitch, that is all. Oh, my dearest! I forgot my liege-lord’s message; he wants to have the pleasure of driving you out this afternoon.”

“Will you go?”

“Can’t, positively. I’ve had an engagement for a week, with that tiresome Mrs. Rawson, to go out to Georgetown and visit her cubs, and she has set today.”

“I wouldn’t go.”

“That’s very fine—then she would be furious; and you will please to remember that I want her husband’s countenance—what an ugly one— for my young friend, who wishes to get into the naval school.”

“Then there’s no help for it, I suppose.”

“And you must take pity on my desolate Philip; I am not afraid of his missing me in your society.”

“You know that is not true.”

“Well, I believe the man does care for me more than I deserve. Still, if I am not a very affectionate wife, I am bon comarade, and go
