"Stay you here; I will give the lady dear our thanks," said Annabel to the group of gipsies gathered about the porch; and she entered the great hall-kitchen. She approached the chair in which Aunt Rachel sat. There was obeisance in the bend of her body, but command in her long almond eyes, as she spoke. "Lady dear, you must rock or you cannot live." Aunt Rachel did not look up from her work.
But the rest of the sixteen married Soames, Rachel and Cicely of James' family; Eustace and Thomas of Roger's; Ernest, Archibald and Florence of Nicholas'; Augustus and Annabel Spender of the Hayman's were going down the years unreproduced.
They visited the accident upon him, and were determined as you have heard them express it in their own phrase to "serve him out." Leaving this decision to fructify, let us turn to Constance. Lady Augusta Yorke good-hearted in the main, liberal natured, swayed by every impulse as the wind had been particularly kind to Constance and Annabel Channing during the absence of their mother.
She spoke of it at the tea-table in the faint hope that Miss Annabel might suggest coming too, but was disappointed. "Why that'll be lovely, dearie," she cried, "go and have a run in the park. It will do you good. I'd dearly love to go with you, but there's Mrs. Captain Willoughby's musicale.
Mine was a crude question. Adio, good friend. 'I should like to drink of that fountain of fresh water, Annabel, said Herbert. 'There seems to me something wondrous fanciful in it. Some day we will row there. It shall be a calm like this. 'We want a fountain in our valley, said Lady Annabel. 'We do, said Herbert; 'and I think we must make one; we must inquire at Genoa.
Annabel led him into the house and to the study door, at which she knocked; then she stood aside for him to enter before her. Mr. Newthorpe was writing; he looked up absently, but light gathered in his eyes as he recognised the visitor. 'So here you are! We talked of you this morning. How have you come? 'On foot from Pooley Bridge.
She rose and looked at the progress of the night. The night was waning fast; a grey light was on the landscape; the point of day approached. Venetia stole softly to her mother's room, and entered it with a soundless step. Lady Annabel had not retired to bed. She had sat up the whole night, and was now asleep.
In his second round, Lord Cadurcis recognised the approach of the Herberts. They formed the portion of a large party. Lady Annabel was leaning on her brother, whom Cadurcis knew by sight; Venetia was at the side of her aunt, and several gentlemen were hovering about them; among them, to his surprise, his cousin, George Cadurcis, in his uniform, for he had been to Court and to the Court Ball.
Lady Annabel found herself placed at table between a pompous courtier, who, being a gourmand, was not very prompt to disturb his enjoyment by conversation, and a young man whom she found very agreeable, and who at first, indeed, attracted her attention by his resemblance to some face with which she felt she was familiar, and yet which she was not successful in recalling.
In his vision she is shown in a darkened passageway, all in white, looking out of the window upon the moonlit sky. Simple enough in its elements, this vision is shown twice in glory. The third replica has not the same glamour. The first two are transfigurations into divinity. The phrase thrown on the screen is "The moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabel Lee."
