And in fact not only did Lord Chelford assist the fair lady, cloaked and hooded, into the carriage, but the vicar's goodhumoured little wife was handed in also, the good vicar looking on, and as the gay good-night and leave-taking took place by the door-steps, Mark drew back, like a guilty thing, in silence, and showed no sign but the red top of his cigar, glowing like the eye of a Cyclops in the dark; and away rolled the brougham, with the two ladies, and Chelford and the vicar went in, and Mark hurled the stump of his cheroot at Fortune, and delivered a fragmentary soliloquy through his teeth; and so, in a sulk, without making his adieux, he marched off to his crib at the Brandon Arms.
Ellen, wishing Mr Massey good-bye, and hoping that he would soon recover, hurried to the door, leaving Norah, who was putting on her cloak and hat, to follow and pay her parting adieux in the way she might think proper.
The Governor and his aides-de-camp, besides many other influential people of Quebec, escorted them down, and as soon as they had paid their adieux, the word was given, the soldiers in the bateaux gave three cheers, and away they went from the wharf into the stream.
As they approached the tents and joined the other two waiting to make their adieux, Diana's voice again broke in upon their quiet, dispelling its curious sense of unreality. "It wasn't you I was afraid of, Major Carew," she called lightly.
"I see," said the Bonnie Lassie softly. After the big man had made his adieux, we sat silent for some minutes. Presently she spoke; there was wonder and something else in her voice. "Plooie!" she said, and that was all. "You are crying," I said. "I'm not," she retorted indignantly. "But you ought to be. For your injustice."
The fact is, she joins her husband there a friend of my own, by the way. A telegram from him hastened her going, and one of my reasons for calling was to give you her adieux, and all sorts of kind messages. I also left a letter from her to the Misses Hosmer at your rooms." "A letter for us how charming!" cried Faith, while Hope nodded vigorously.
Then the adieux were said, the voyagers went down to the port, embarked on board their good ship a trim-built schooner and set sail with a fair wind. "I wish I saw them all safe back again!" said the little old lady, with a sigh. Juliet said nothing, though she echoed the sigh. Meanwhile the schooner leant over to the breeze, and ere night-fall left the shores of Sicily far behind.
SCENE II. Isolde signals to her lover with her white scarf to music redolent of Weber's Oberon, and of the transition to the final movement of Beethoven's sonata Les Adieux. From the moment when he enters, neither words nor music come to full articulation; all is swept away in the whirlwind of the dominant rhythm a variant of the motive No. 10, in still more rapid tempo.
And then there uprose another shout, a shout of mingled merriment, surprise and applause; for all on a sudden there darted up the stairway from the crowded promenade deck to the sacred perch above, defiant of the lettered warning, "Passengers are not allowed upon the Bridge," a dainty vision in filmy white, and all in the next moment there appeared at the General's side, smiling, bowing, blowing kisses, waving adieux, all sparkle, animation, radiance and rejoicing, a bewitching little figure in the airiest, loveliest of summer toilets.
And now for an hour at Madame de Lacostellerie's, en revanche." As we came forward to make our adieux to the duchess, she rose from her seat, and in so doing her sleeve brushed against a small marble statue of Louis the Sixteenth, which, had I not opportunely caught it, would have fallen to the ground. "Thank you, sir," said she, graciously.
