Their principal, the alabarch, was talking eagerly with the philosopher Hegesias and the Rhodian leech Chrysippus; Queen Arsinoe's favourite, whom at Althea's instigation she had sent with Proclus to receive the returning traveller.
She stopped at once and took Althea's hand and gazed tenderly upon her. Her manner had always afflicted Althea, with its intimations of some deep, mystical understanding. 'My dear, I'm so glad to meet you, you know. How nice, how right you've been. Mrs. Mallison murmured her words rather than spoke them and could pronounce none of her r's. 'I'm so glad to be able to tell you so. You're walking?
Well, he had taken her out of herself, and after having heard that morning what Althea's significance could be in the life of another man, she was curious to find what her so different significance could be in the life of this one, as alien from Gerald in type and temperament as it was possible to imagine. Why did Althea mean anything at all to Gerald, and why did she mean everything to Mr. Kane?

When Chrysilla presented the black-bearded artist to the Thracian, she would have sworn that Althea found an old acquaintance in the sculptor; but Hermon treated the far-famed relative of Queen Arsinoe as coldly and distantly as if he now saw her for the first time, and with little pleasure. In truth, he was glad to avoid women of Althea's stamp.
And do remember that though you're not getting what you want, you are getting a good deal and he is getting nothing, so try to play the game and to see if you can't make it up to him; see if you can't make him happy. Althea's sobbing had now ceased, though she kept her face still covered.
And then there were Boyce's half confessions, the glimpses he had afforded me into the tormented soul. To me he had condemned himself out of his own mouth. I repeat that, sitting there paralysed by the sudden shock of it, I knew not that the man was speaking the literal truth God forbid! but that Boyce was, in some degree, responsible for Althea's death.
They rehearsed theatricals all the next day he, Helen, Lady Pickering, and the girls and Lady Pickering was very naughty. Gerald, more than once, had caught Althea's eye fixed, repudiating in its calm, upon her. It had been especially repudiating when Frances, at tea, had thrown a bun at him.
He hated Hubert Lisle. To thwart him he would have circumvented heaven and earth. With Thornton Rush this consideration weighed even more than Althea's promised dowry. Spite, revenge, avarice, every worst passion should be gratified in the accomplishment of a union with Althea. Unfortunately, the situation of things at Kennons favored this wretched wooing.
She described the ghost that she herself had seen once her matter-of-fact acceptance of the ghost startled Althea and the hills and moors that one looked out on from the windows. Led by Althea's absorbed inquiries, she drifted on to detailed reminiscence the dogs she had cared for, the flowers she had grown, and the dear red lacquer mirror that she had broken.
