"That is your cousin, Amaryllis Ardayre come along!" And in a second Denzil found himself being introduced to her, and being greeted by her with interested cordiality, as befitted their cousinly relationship. But Verisschenzko, whose eyes missed nothing, remarked that under his sunburn, Denzil had grown suddenly very pale. Amaryllis was enchanted to see her friend, the Russian.
He told himself Ardayre was something which deserved his attention and he looked for the first view of the house, but all his will could only keep his arms from transgressing, it could not control the riot of his thoughts. Amaryllis was conscious in some measure that he was far from calm, and her own heart began to beat unaccountably.
He was determined to make a fortune, it has always been said, and redeem the mortgages on Ardayre very splendid of him, wasn't it?" "Yes well all this is not out of the ordinary line what comes next?" Denzil laughed he was not a good raconteur. "The poor lady was no sooner dead than the old boy married a Bulgarian snake charmer, whom he had picked up in Constantinople!
She knew that perfectly it enraged her always. The threads are now completely in my hands. Conceive of it, Denzil! The man at the Ardayre ball was her first husband for whom she always retained some kind of animal affection because he used to beat her. They married her to Stanislass just to obtain the secrets of Poland, and any other thing which she could pick' up.
But no, of course not, we were too busy in the old days enjoying life to trouble to talk of such things! Well, it is rather strange in the last generation things very nearly came to an end and John has built it all up again. You are interested in heredity?" "Naturally what is the story?" "Our mutual great-grandfather was a tremendous personage in North Somerset the place Ardayre is there.
"It goes on Ardayre, Ardayre, Ardayre, ever since the very first one. Oh! John, if we ever have a son he ought to be even more so you and I being of the same blood " and then she hesitated and blushed crimson. This was the first time she had ever spoken of such a thing.
It meant his very soul and you will help me to be a worthy mother of the Ardayre son." She had not spoken of the child before some unaccountable shyness had restrained her, even in their fondest moments. And yet the thought had never been absent from either. It had throbbed there in their hearts. It was going to be so exquisite to whisper about it presently!
He tried to force himself to remember that he was not travelling with his wife whom he could take care of and cherish because she was going to have his child, but that he was travelling with John's wife whom he hardly knew and must take no more interest in than any Ardayre would in the wife of the head of the family!
"She is longing to understand life, she is groping; why do you not set about her education, Denzil?" "That is the husband's business." "Not in this case. I consider it is yours; you are the right mate for her. John Ardayre is a good fellow, but he stands for nothing in the affair. Why did you waste your time upon Harietta, when time is so short?" "I was given no choice."
Amaryllis had been to Harietta's dinners and dances, and now the Boleskis had been asked down to Ardayre in return for the three days at the end of the month, when the coming of age of the young Marquis of Bridgeborough would give occasion for great rejoicings, and Amaryllis herself would give a ball.
