It is I who am blind and ignorant. Ay, and just the same age! She must be the infant of whom Licorice spoke: she was then in the cradle, I remember. She said that if Beatrice had lived, they might have been like twin sisters. Well, well! Ay, and it is well. For Anegay has found her in Heaven, safe from sin and sorrow, from tempest and temptation, with Christ for evermore.
"She has been asking questions of Genta. But she has got hold of the wrong pattern she fancies Anegay was her sister." "Does she?" replied Abraham, in a tone of sorrowful tenderness. "There's less harm in her thinking that, than if she knew the truth. Genta showed great good sense: she professed to know nothing at all about it."
And the next morning, as soon as the canonical hours had dawned, Anegay was my wife." Abraham spoke here, but without lifting his head. "I was on a journey, Belasez," he said. "I never persecuted my darling never!" "No, Belasez," echoed Bruno; "he never did. I believe he was bitterly grieved at her becoming a Christian, but he had no hand in her sufferings at that time.
Suppose Anegay had married a Christian as she thought most likely from the allusions, and which she knew would be in her parents' eyes disgrace of the deepest dye or even if Anegay had herself become a Christian, which was a shade worse still, yet what had that to do with Belasez, and why should it make her so anxious to go back to the Christians?
"Belasez," she began, in tones so amiable that Belasez would instantly have suspected a trap, had she overheard nothing, for Licorice's character was well known to her "Belasez, I hear from thy father that thou hast heard some foolish gossip touching one Anegay, that was a kinswoman of thine, and thou art desirous of knowing the truth. Thou shalt know it now.
"And at that time thy father dwelt at Lincoln it was before we were married, thou knowest and Anegay, being an only and motherless daughter, used to spend much of her time with me. I cannot quite tell thee how, for indeed it was a puzzle to myself, but Anegay became acquainted with a Christian maiden whose name was Beatrice "
It seemed to her that hardly a minute passed before she woke again, to hear her mother moving in the next room, and to see full daylight streaming in at the window. And suddenly, just as she awoke, it rushed upon her when and how she had heard of Anegay. She saw herself, a little child, standing by the side of Licorice.
It seemed plain to Belasez that her mother was being rebuked for want of motherly tenderness, and, as she doubted not, towards Anegay. This mysterious person, then, must have been a sister of whom she had never heard, probably much older than herself. "What a lot of soft down must have been used up to make thine heart!" was the cynical reply of Licorice. "I cannot help it, Licorice.
The same pure oval face, the smooth calm brow, the dark glossy hair: but it struck Belasez that her own features, as seen in the mirror, were the less prominently Jewish. And, once more, who was Anegay? How little it is possible to know of the innermost heart of our nearest friends!
She had now given it up with a sorrowful recognition that it was not to be done, but a firm conviction that it was her own fault, and that she ought to be very penitent for such hardness of heart. "It seems to me," continued Licorice, "that this bad young man, whose name was De Malpas, must have cast a spell on our poor, unhappy Anegay.
