John Walden stood for a quiet three minutes, studying the picture intently and also the superscription: "Mary Elia Adelgisa de Vaignecourt, Born May 1st, 1651: Wedded her cousin, Geoffrey de Vaignecourt, June 5th, 1671: Died May 30th, 1681." "Not a very long life!" he mused: "All the Vaignecourts, or Vancourts, have died somewhat early." He let his eyes rest again on the portrait lingeringly.
He stood very still, his eyes wandering involuntarily to the painted beauty of 'Mary Elia Adelgisa de Vaignecourt, which he had admired and studied so often for many lonely years, and back again along the dimly lit gallery to that unveiled portrait of the young bride who never came home, the mother of the little proud creature who confronted him with such fairy-like stateliness and pretty assertion of her small self in combat against him, and upon whom his glance finally rested with a lingering sadness and pain.
