"You and I are friends always will be." Fielding's eyes had a misty look. "The best of friends, Dick lad," he said. "But will friendship give me the right to offer you help without putting up your pride? I don't want to order your life for you, but you can't go on with this village domini business much longer. You were made for better things." "Oh, that!" Dick said, and laughed.
The red brick floor was heaving gently, Domini thought. She found herself wondering how the cane chair by the small wardrobe kept its footing, and why the cracked china basin in the iron washstand, painted bright yellow, did not stir and rattle. Her dressing-bag was open. She could see the silver backs and tops of the brushes and bottles in it gleaming. They made her think suddenly of England.
The difference between the old and new dispensations was of developement and progression, not of diversity or contrariety. Both had one and the same Author. Errasti in illa etiam domini pronuntiatione qua videtur nova et vetera discernere.
The restlessness, the violence that had made his demeanour so embarrassing during and after the dejeuner had vanished. He was a different man. And presently, noticing it, feeling his sensitive serenity, Domini seemed to see the great Mother at work about this child of hers, Nature at her tender task of pacification.
I am a carpenter from the city of Nazareth, and my wife is called Mary, and she is in travail. Suffer thou us to rest, and my wife to lie on the straw of the stable." And Hilarion said: "You are welcome. Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini;" and Hilarion laid down more fern and hay, and gave provender to the mule. And the woman's hour came, and she was delivered of a male child.
Domini saw the Count compress his lips. Then he turned to Androvsky and said: "Do you think so, Monsieur?" It was a definite, a resolute attempt to draw his guest into the conversation. Androvsky could not ignore it. He looked up reluctantly from his plate. His eyes met Domini's, but immediately travelled away from them. "I doubt " he said.
Smain, from whose velvety eyes the dreams were not banished by the uproar, stood languidly by the porter's tent, gazing at Androvsky. Something in the demeanour of the new visitor seemed to attract him. Domini, meanwhile, had reached the gateway.
"The Lord bless thee, and keep thee; and grant unto thee grace and strength to choose and to do the harder part, when the harder part is His will for thee." After which: "Benedictio Domini sit vobiscum," said the Bishop; and made the sign of the cross over the bowed head of the Prioress. Symon, Bishop of Worcester, had bidden Sir Hugh d'Argent to sup with him at the Palace.
Only when she was actually opposite to them and stayed there, still performing her shuddering dance, still holding the daggers above her head, did Domini realise that those half-closed, passionate eyes had marked the stranger woman, and that she must add one to the stream of golden coins. She took out her purse but did not give the money at once.
It was evident that he felt that his presence was unwelcome. "I have a headache," Androvsky said. "I that is why I returned." He dropped the priest's hand. He was again looking towards the table. "The sun was unusually fierce to-day," Domini said. "Do you think " "Yes, yes," he interrupted. "That's it. I must have had a touch of the sun." He put his hand to his head.
