During this discussion of Lottie, Anna had sat listlessly looking up and down the columns of an old Herald, which Dick, Eudora's pet dog, had ferreted out from the table and deposited at her feet. She evidently was not thinking of Lottie, nor yet of the advertisements, until one struck her notice as being very singular.
After Eudora's sudden change of fortune, being somewhat ashamed of the publicity of his conduct, and desirous not to lose entirely the good opinion of Artaphernes, he gave the artist his liberty, simply requiring the fulfilment of his promise. "And what are your intentions with regard to this fair captive?" inquired the Persian, with a significant smile.
Men think so lightly of these matters, I sometimes fear they might both regard the persecutions of Alcibiades too trivial for their interference. For these reasons I wish you to return to Elis as soon as possible when I am gone." Eudora's countenance kindled with indignation, as she listened to what Milza had told.
They smiled on each other, as they passed and repassed; and though Eudora's veil concealed the expression of her features, Philothea observed, with an undefined feeling of apprehension, that she showed no tokens of displeasure at the brief whispers and frequent glances of Alcibiades. At last, Pericles bade the attendants bring forth the goblet of the Good Genius.
As she passed, she continued to look back at the reflection of her own fair form, with a proud glance, which seemed to say, "Aspasia is herself again!" Philothea took Eudora's arm, and folding her veil about her, with a deep sigh followed to the room below. All is prepared the table and the feast With due appurtenance of clothes and cushions.
Alcibiades is handsome, rich, and of high rank. How do you regard his proposal of marriage?" The colour mounted high in Eudora's cheek, and she answered hastily, "As easily could I consent to be the wife of Tereus, after his brutal outrage on the helpless Philomela.
Amelia fled after Eudora and the baby-carriage. She overtook her at the gate. She laid her hand on Eudora's arm, draped with India shawl. "Eudora!" she gasped. Eudora turned her serene face and regarded her questioningly. "Eudora," said Amelia, "have you heard of anybody's coming to stay at the inn lately?" "No," replied Eudora, calmly. "Why, dear?"
Her own face was uncovered, contrary to the custom of Grecian women; and after a few of those casual remarks which everywhere serve to fill up the pauses in conversation, she playfully seized Eudora's veil, and threw it back over her shoulders.
The Lancaster house was also a colonial mansion, much after the fashion of Eudora's, but it showed signs of continued opulence. Eudora's, behind her trees and leafing vines, was gray for lack of paint. Some of the colonial ornamental details about porches and roof were sloughing off or had already disappeared.
"And your husband where is he?" This was the hardest question of all, and Adah's distress was visible as she replied, "I will be frank with you. Willie's father left me, and I don't know where he is." An incredulous, provoking smile flitted over Eudora's face as she returned, "We hardly care to have a deserted wife in our family it might be unpleasant."
