Aylward standing back to make room, and motioning her forward, so she entered, Letty preceding her and Fay clinging to her. By the hearth stood the magnificent figure, holding out a long, beautiful, beringed hand, which Aurelia shyly kissed, bending as before a queen, while her forehead received the same slight salute as had been given to the little girls.
Where she gathered the gauzes that made her rainbow vest, or the water-diamonds that gemmed her night-black hair, or the sun-fringed cloud of purple that was her robe, no fay or mortal knew; but they knew well the power of her presence, and grew pale at her anger.
Er said 'Let'n come home an' call the devil as did it to account. He was thinkin' o' me when he said it, though he dedn' knaw me." "Iss fay, 'tis generally allowed he be the lips o' God A'mighty now. But you, Joe doan't 'e waste life an' hard-won money huntin' down a damned man. Leave en to his deserts." "'Tis I that be his deserts, wummon 'tis I, in the hand o' the God o' Vengeance.
Such compliments as passed between them and the figure-aunts! such a munshin of biskits and sippin of brandy! such "O mong Jews," and "O sacrrres," and "kill fay frwaws!"
"This glen was made on purpose for our temple." "And the glad song of the brook will be always in our ears," said Lilias Fay. "And its long melody shall sing the bliss of our lifetime," said Adam Forrester. "Ye must build no temple here," murmured their dismal companion.
Fay, doesn't it give you a rich warm kick to think of my midget missiles buzzing around in your tunnels, seeking out evil-doers, like a swarm of angry wasps or angelic bumblebees?" "You're not luring me down any side trails," Fay said laughingly. He grinned and twitched, then hurried toward the opposite wall, motioning them to follow.
But in the days that followed, while his mind remained weak and wandering, he was supported by the illusion was it an illusion that it was Fay really who was in prison, not himself, and that he was allowed to take her place in her cell because she would suffer too much, poor little thing, unless he helped her through. He became tranquil, happy, serene.
"Downlight foolardy," echoed little Fay. "And what nelse?" According to Mr. Burgess it was dangerous and a great many other things as well, but he lost his heart to her in that moment, and she could twist him round her little finger ever after. To be told that a thing was dangerous was to add to its attractions. She was absolutely without fear, and could climb like a kitten.
We have both struggled. You don't know how I have struggled, Fay, day and night since I came to Rome. But I have been in fault. I ought never to have come, for I knew you were living near Rome. But I did not know it had touched you, and for myself I had hoped I thought that it was past in as far as it could pass that I was accustomed to it. Listen, Fay, and do not cry so bitterly.
That young lord who comes here to see Marion Fay has gone and got himself killed out hunting." "Lord Hampstead!" shouted Clara. "Got himself killed! Laws, aunt, I can't believe it!" In her tone, also, there was something almost of exultation. The glory that had been supposed to be awaiting Marion Fay was almost too much for the endurance of any neighbour.
