The lawyer even laid his hand on the Angel's shoulder. He should have known better than that. "My dear fellow," he said, benevolently. "You are liable for the whole year's rent until next October. You will see by your lease." Aubrey shook his hand off haughtily. "Provided the lease is signed," he said, quietly. "Will you gentlemen have the goodness to find my signature on this lease?
"The glorious portrait of that Angel's face" can be expressed by any art, by pen or pencil. Again, she is "Of the brood of Angels heavenly born." And yet again, she is "Divine and born of heavenly seed." Once more we are bid "Go visit her in her chaste bower of rest, Accompanied with Angel-like delights." Turn we next to the "Epithalamion."
The choral host had closed the angel's strain Sung to the midnight watch on Bethlehem's plain; And now the shepherds, hastening on their way, Sought the still hamlet where the Infant lay.
Her thought was that before she could honestly think of such prayer she must see some fruit of Angel's petitions for this man Smith and for her own safety. "Save Smith from further degradation," she said, her breath coming sharply. "Save me now, if that sort of prayer is right. Do this in answer to my husband's prayers. Remember his prayers."
He could see her by the light of the carriage lamps; she was bewitching in the love-languor which always seemed to be extorted by the violence of passion from her madonna's purity. The Duchess did not fall into the mistake of talking of her virtue, of her angel's estate, as provincial women, her imitators, do. She was far too clever.
"One minute," he said; and returned in two or three with a pint of tolerable champagne. "I keep a few for angel's visits," he explained; "but I am afraid I must light the candle. I will put it at the other side of the room. Do you mind the tumbler? Now drink, and tell me only what you feel inclined, neither more nor less."
"What do you want with me?" "It was a beautiful hymn," said Rotha, ignoring his question. "Do you think so?" he growled, and turned his head away. "What if one could but think it?" she said, as if speaking as much to herself as to him. Garth faced about, and looked at her with a scowl. The girl's eyes were as meek as an angel's.
As Joachim and Anna looked into each other's eyes and read there the solemn joy of the angel's message, their hearts were filled with peace and comfort. And before long the angel's promise was fulfilled, and a little daughter was born to Anna and Joachim. In their joy and thankfulness they said she should not be as other children, but should serve in the temple as little Samuel had done.
At last he said, in a very altered tone, quite mild and deprecating, "Why did you not tell me this before?" "Because he made us promise not. Would you have had me betray my benefactor?" "No. You are a brave girl, an honest girl. I love you more than a bit, and, for your sake, I forgive him the whole thing. I will never call it sacrilege again, since its effect was to save an angel's life.
"It cost me," said Bill, recounting the occurrence somewhat later at Angel's, "it cost me a matter o' twenty dollars afore the jedge the next mornin'; but you kin bet high thet I taught them 'Frisco chaps suthin new about drivin'. I didn't make it lively in Montgomery Street for about ten minutes, O no!"
