Rounding one of the rhododendron banks, just as he lifted his head from that acknowledgment of the lady's commendation, he had sight of Emilia with her hand in the hand of Captain Gambier. What could it mean? what right had he to hold her hand? Even if he knew her, what right? The words between Emilia and Captain Gambier were few. "Why did I not look at you during dinner?" said he.
"You would have made him an Austrian, and he is now safe from that. I win nothing more," said Emilia. When Tracy and Emilia stood alone, he cried out in a rapture of praise, "Now I know what a power you have. You may bid me live or die." The recent scene concerned chiefly the actors who had moved onward: it had touched Emilia but lightly, and him not at all.
