Maternal tenderness, so long restrained, now welled up and overflowed as with intense emotion she murmured: "Raoul!" At this name, uttered in so thrilling a tone, the youth started and tottered, as if overcome by an unhoped-for happiness.
He was taking that Supper with them before He suffered. He knew that He would soon depart out of this world unto the Father; His ear was specially on the alert; His nature keenly alive; His heart thrilling with unusual tenderness, as the sands slowly ran out from the hour-glass. It was supreme love. "Having loved His own that were in the world, He loved them unto the end."
Love that lasteth till 'tis old Fadeth not in haste." 'Twas about candlelight when I awoke, and Dorothy was sitting alone beside me. Her fingers were resting upon my arm, and she greeted me with a smile all tenderness. "And does my Lord feel better after after his excitement to-day?" she asked. "Dorothy, you have made me a whole man again. I could walk to Windsor and back."
She shuddered, as if she were cold for she thought of her husband, the man who here in the desert should have been all in all to her, but whose presence filled her with aversion, whose indifference had ceased to wound her, and whose tenderness she feared far more than his wild irritability she had never loved him. She had grown up free from care among a number of brothers and sisters.
Rhoda made her relate how this man had seen her first, and how, by untiring diligence, he had followed her up and found her. "He he must love you," said Rhoda; and in proportion as she grew more conscious of her sister's weakness, and with every access of tenderness toward her, she felt that Dahlia must be thought for very much as if she were a child.
Then, with a clothes-line, I tied him up carefully, hand and foot. To all this he offered not the slightest opposition. When he was suitably packed, with due regard to the probable tenderness of wrist and ankle in one brought up in luxury, the boy and I carried him to the wagon. He was a heavy load, and we may have bumped him a little, but his sleep was not disturbed.
Then the prayer changed to a petition for blessings on his wife and son and the deep voice became deeper and full of tenderness. The pirate experienced a shock of surprise was the son, then, still alive? And, if so, how came Zeppa to know? He could not know it! The man before him must either be the creature of his own disordered fancy, or a real visitant from the world of spirits!
"Now, you dear old man," continued Maryllia, drawing up an oaken settle close to Josey's knee and seating herself with a confidential air; "you must tell me just what you want me to do, and I will do it!" She looked a mere child, with her fair face upturned and her rippling hair falling loosely away from her brows. A great tenderness softened Josey's eyes as he fixed them upon her.
His betrothed! he no longer dared give this name to the daughter of Don Vegal. "My son," said the latter, "have you any hope in your heart?" "As much as hatred and tenderness." "The daughter of the Jew, in becoming my blood, has not ceased to be thine." "Let us press on!" hastily replied Martin Paz.
And taking his head between her hands, she cherished it, smiling into his eyes; the passion of the wife deepened and hallowed by the protective tenderness of the mother. When and how should she tell him? That was the question in her mind.
