George asked, and thereafter even a lover must have forgiven the brief apostasy of his thought "how it can be that you know the English? How you are able to speak it here in Yaque?" The motor moved forward as the procession passed, and struck into a magnificent country avenue bordered by trees, tall as elms and fragrant as acacias.
"Prince Tabnit," Olivia's voice never seemed to interrupt, but rather to "divide evidence finely" at the proper moment "how long will it take us to reach Yaque?" St. George thrilled at that "us." "My submarine," replied the prince, "is plying about outside the harbour. I arrived in four days." "By the way," St.
Of what was wrought on the island I can tell you little, though the time will come when the eyes of the whole world will be turned upon Yaque as the forerunner of mighty things. Ruled over by the descendants of Abibaal, the islanders have dwelt in peace and plenty for nearly three thousand years until, in fact, less than a year ago.
The highest point in the island and in the West Indies is Mt. Tina, with an altitude of 10,300 feet, a magnificent outpost of that branch of the central range which traverses the south-central portion of the Republic. The next highest point, is Yaque Peak, 9700 feet high, nearly at the center of the island.
Briefly, Miss Holland, it is more than three months since your father suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from Yaque, leaving absolutely no clue to his whereabouts." A little cry broke from Olivia's lips that went to St. George's heart. Mrs. Hastings, with a gesture that was quite wild and sent her bonnet hopelessly to one side, burst into a volley of exclamations and demands.
Of course they were to be considered. Why should he fear that, because Olivia was in Yaque, the mere mention of a betrothal referred to Olivia? He was bold enough to smile at his fears, to smile even when, as the prince ceased speaking, the music sounded again, as it were from the air, in a chorus of pure young voices with a ripple of unknown strings in accompaniment.
Which, if you come to think of it, and no matter how absurdly you learn it, is a thing immeasurably worth realizing in this world of possibilities. It is one of our two magics. "And this," Jarvo said softly, pausing before a vacant niche opposite the tomb of King Abibaal, "this will be the receptacle for the present king of Yaque, his Majesty, King Otho, by the grace of God."
And Olivia, standing in the queen's gown, listened without hearing one word, and turned to have her veil lifted by Antoinette and the daughter of a peer of Yaque; and she knelt before the people while the lord chief-chancellor set the crown on her bright hair.
Deaf alike to their exclamations and their questions St. George sat staring unseeingly through the window, his mind an abyss of fear. Then the cab drew up at the door of his hotel and he turned upon the two men precipitantly. "See," he cried, "in a boat on the open sea, would you two be at all able to direct a course to Yaque?" Both men smiled suddenly and brilliantly.
And when they had mounted the steps of the mighty entrance, and the sound of unrecognized music reached him a very myth of music, elusive, vagrant, fugued and the palace doors swung open to receive them, he could have shouted aloud on the brilliant threshold: "He says she is here in Yaque." So there were St.
