Kage & Kage, Monument Street, Baltimore, who are in possession of my instructions. Do this promptly, and win from me the only return you have left it in my power to make you oblivion of your crimes and of yourself. "Herman Brudenell." With the calmness of despair Berenice read this cruel letter through to the end, and dropped it on her lap, and sat staring at it in silence.
At the end of the reading, without looking up, she stretched out her hand and whispered softly: "Give me my dear father's letter now." The attorney, who was engaged in re-folding the documents and restoring them to the japanned box, left his seat, and came to her side, and placed the letter in her hands. "Thanks, Mr. Kage," she said, wiping her eyes and looking up.
It has always been the rule to serve fish with sake; and gradually the word "fish" became used for any entertainment given during the wine-party by guests, such as songs, dances, etc. Literally, "Demon-deer-hair." The term "deer-hair" refers to color. A less exact translation of the original characters would be "the demon chestnut". Kage, "deer-color" also means "chestnut."
"That will suit her; but I hope the forms will not occupy more than an hour. Miss Levison is still extremely feeble, and ought not to sit up longer," said the dowager. "It will not require more than half an hour, madam," replied Mr. Kage. Lady Belgrade gave the message to the maid for her mistress.
Kage, thanks," replied the young lady, in a low voice, and speaking with an effort. The attorney unlocked the box, took out the will, unfolded and proceeded to read it. The document was dated several years back. It was neither long nor complex.
And now permit me to add, my dear Miss Levison, that to obey your father's will in this matter would be the very best and wisest course you could pursue." "Thanks, Mr. Kage; I know that you are a faithful friend to our family; but I must have a little time to recover," murmured Salome, faintly. "Here, you may remember my dear Salome, that when I told you of this letter in the possession of Mr.
"I am going now, dear madam," said the duke, rising. He took Salome's hand, held it for a moment in his, while he gazed into her eyes, then pressed it to his lips, and so took his morning's leave of her. The same forenoon he rode over to the Lone Station, and dispatched a telegram to the family solicitor, Kage. Mr.
Kage to bring down the papers at once, dear John," said Salome, eagerly, as a warm flush arose on her pale, transparent cheek. "I will do so at once, love; for to my mind, that letter is of equal importance with the will though no lawyer would think so," said the duke. "You know its purport then?"
"There is beside the will a letter from your father, addressed to you, and left in the charge of Kage, to be delivered with the reading of the will, in the case of his, the writer's, sudden death," gravely added the duke. "A letter from my dear father to me? A letter from the grave! No, rather a letter from Heaven! Telegraph Mr.
But he only waits for your recovery and a summons from me to bring it. Whenever, therefore, you feel equal to the exertion of hearing it, I will send a telegram to Kage to come down," concluded the duke. "My father's last will!" softly murmured Salome. "Send the telegram to-day, please. To hear his last will read will be almost like hearing from him."
