Here was indeed complexity: a butterfly, one of those black beauties, splashed with jasper and beryl, hovering nearby, with taste only for liquid nectar, yet choosing a little weed devoid of flower or fruit on which to deposit her quota of eggs. She neither turned to look at their beauties nor trusted another batch to this plant.
Do you know it?" "Don't tell Beryl but I have never been in it. Nevertheless, I know exactly what it is like." "By hearsay?" "Oh, no. In years gone by I have been into many of the cafes in Paris." "And did you like them and the life in them?" "In those days they often fascinated me, as no doubt the Cafe Royal and its life fascinates Beryl to-day.
Should Beryl Beryl whom I loved next best to my wife be torn from me even as Dick and Hal had been? No! Ten thousand times no! Sooner than that I would risk anything. A sudden inspiration, coming maybe from the whispering leaves, or from the elm, or from the mysterious flickering moonbeams, flashed through me. Could I not intercept the figures, drive them back?
When the cloud had wept away its fury, and electric fires burned low in the far west, a gentle shower droned on the roof, and lulled by its cadence Beryl fell asleep, still kneeling on the floor, with her head resting on the chair where the cat lay coiled.
Comprehending all that this public recantation had cost a proud man, jealous of his reputation for professional tact and skill, as well as for individual acumen, Beryl began to realize the depth and fervor of the love that prompted it; and the merciless ordeal to which he would subject her.
All that excitement and so on has a way of suddenly leaving you, and it's as though, in the silence, somebody called your name, and you heard your name for the first time. "Beryl!" "Yes, I'm here. I'm Beryl. Who wants me?" "Beryl!" "Let me come." It is lonely living by oneself. Of course, there are relations, friends, heaps of them; but that's not what she means.
It took the girls only a very little time to transfer Beryl's belongings and to establish them in Robin's room, Beryl working mechanically, unable to believe her good fortune. Then, at Robin's command, she followed her while she went in search of her guardian.
They all seemed devotedly attached to him." "No, by his granddaughter, a young and very beautiful woman; Beryl Brentano, the child of General Darrington's daughter Ellice, whom he had disowned on account of her wretched marriage with a foreigner, who taught her music and the languages. Of course you have heard from your aunt and uncle all the details of that family episode.
I believe she's going to have another child. At any rate she says it may be four months before she can come to work here regularly. I asked her about it the other day, because if mother gets worse I may be hindered about coming to the office, and I didn't want you to get overworked, so I said to Beryl.... That reminds me, she referred to the coming child and added that its father was a policeman.
After a long pause Lady Sellingworth continued, with a sort of strong simplicity in which there was moral power: "Don't be angry with me, Beryl, when I tell you that you have one of my dominant characteristics." "What is it?" Miss Van Tuyn asked, in a low voice. "Vanity. You and I we were both born with great vanity in us. Mine has troubled me, tortured me, been a curse to me, all my life.
