Would it not yet be possible to obtain her forgiveness and persuade her to pose as the model of his Arachne? During the voyage to Pelusium he had caught Althea's eye again and again, and rejected as an insult her demand to give her his whole love. The success of the Arachne depended upon Ledscha, and on her alone.
For this also was not unknown to them. Duncan Lisle had dropped into Amy's ear more than one hint of this kind. He had none other to confide in; and during a sleepless night, while Amy watched, he whiled away an hour discoursing of his son, and of the project in view. This faithful servant had Althea's picture treasured with jealous care.
By his master's orders Bias had tried to find her again, but, in spite of honest search, in vain. Just now he had met, as Althea's maid, the little Syrian Margula, who had been in her company, and raced along in the procession of bacchanals in his, Bias's, arms.
'And I give you happiness, like this even like this? really? 'Of course; but, he smiled a little forcedly, 'I can't pretend it's anything like what I want. I want a great deal. Althea's eyes fell before the intent and gentle gaze. 'Dear Franklin I wish 'You wish you could? I wonder I wonder, Althea, if you feel a little nearer to it just now. I seem to feel, myself, that you are. Was she?
It was the third time already, and the dinner was not far on its way. I saw Hepatica shield hers also for the third time. A tiny flush was beginning to creep up Althea's cheeks. She had refused only the first offering of the waiter. The Promoter turned and viewed my empty glasses with ill-disguised contempt.
This happened in January, just before Althea's supposed visit to Scotland. Boyce was due at a Country House party near Carlisle. In the first flush of their madness they agreed upon the wretched plan. She took rooms in the town and he visited her there. Whether he or she conceived it, I do not know. If I could judge coldly I should say that it was of feminine inspiration.
You are compelled to do as the court orders. As a law-abiding citizen you have no choice in the matter." Miss Althea's modest intellect reeled, but she stood her ground, the ghost of the Signer at her elbow. "I am sorry," she replied, "but my own self-respect will not allow me to answer."
True, as time passed he had spoken more than once of the necessity of retiring, and before midnight really tried to depart; but he had fallen under Althea's thrall, and, in reply to her inquiry what must shorten these exquisite hours, had informed her, in significant words, what drew him away, and that his delay threatened him with the loss of a model such as the favour of fate rarely bestowed upon an artist.
Helen was on one side of her and Mr. Digby sat in an opposite corner of the railway carriage, and they were approaching the end of the journey to Merriston House on a bright July day soon after Althea's arrival in England. She had met Mr. Digby at Helen's the day before and had suggested that he should come with them.
And now I knew of a surety that a hurricane was brewing; for that fearful ruddy light in the sky was the self-same appearance that I had once before beheld when in the Althea's gig I had been attempting to make my way to Bermuda. There was no mistaking the sign, for it was one that, once seen, could never be forgotten.
