What should I have been now but for you? How good and patient you have been to me!" This embrace affected the clergyman strangely; he put his hand to his heart, and a troubled look came into his eyes. Thrusting her gently away from him, he sat down. "Angela," he said presently, "go away now, dear, I am tired to-night; I shall see you at church to-morrow to say good-by."
Listen listen yet a moment!" and he drew a step nearer, while Sylvie held her ground where she stood, unflinchingly, and like a queen, though she was pale to the very lips "What of the friend you love so well, Angela Sovrani, who has dared to paint such a picture as should be burnt in the public market-place for its vile heresy! Do you think SHE will escape the wrath of the Church? Not she!
"What's the matter?" "Red" asked. "Haven't you heard? Lopez has broken off the reservation again." "Lopez!" exclaimed "Red," forgetting his pipe, his dinner, and even Angela for the moment. "The devil he has!" "Uh uh! Raided the Diamond Dot last night." "He won't bother us," "Red" smiled, settling back again. "Nothin' to steal here except the mortgage."
He knew that could not be, and so he was sorry that he had cried. They went on from that to discussion, to argument, to ill-feeling, to sympathetic agreement again by degrees, only to fall out anew. Angela could not resign herself to the thought of giving him up. Eugene could not see that he was called upon to do anything, save divide their joint possessions.
He came a step nearer and leaned on the back of a chair; he was evidently controlling himself, for his movements were studiedly deliberate, though his voice was beginning to shake ominously. 'If God is with you, Angela, then He shall hear that I love you and that you are mine, not His! He shall listen while I tell you that I will not give you up to be murdered by priests for His glory!
It's fine. There's a young minister down here near the lake that's very anxious to meet you. He likes to get hold of anything you do, and I always send the books down as soon as Angela gets through with them." He used the words books and magazines interchangeably, and spoke as though they were not much more important to him than the leaves of the trees, as indeed, they were not.
There are three of them, and he won't let them go, and it is Cousin Charlotte's cloth. I recognised it hanging out of his pocket, the one Anna wrapped the patties in " "What are you talking about?" demanded Esther, grasping Angela by the arm. "Don't be so frightened. What has happened?" Angela tried to be calmer and more coherent. "There are three boys asleep in the very place where we were going.
Angela, who was industriously shaking powder into her new satin slipper because it hurt, began reciting her lines: "'Your Father was ever virtuous; and holy men at their death have good inspirations " "Do keep still, Ange," Betty begged; "you'll get me all mixed up. 'Oh, upright judge a Daniel come prepare " she murmured to herself.
He had spent most of his time this winter working with these pictures. "Oh, Eugene," exclaimed Angela, "it seems so wonderful. I can hardly believe it. You a really, truly, great artist! And us going to Paris! Oh, isn't that beautiful. It seems like a dream. I think and think, but it's hard to believe that I am here sometimes, and that your pictures are up at Kellner's and oh!
Angela was now in the dining room easy to be called but Marietta wanted to see for herself what sort of lover her sister had captured. She was surprised at his height, his presence, the keenness of his eyes. She hardly understood so fine a lover for her own sister, but held out her hand smilingly. "This is Mr. Witla, isn't it?" she asked. "The same," he replied, a little pompously.
