These two poor creatures will live?" "I think so" answered Morgana, with a thrill of sadness in her sweet voice "They will live pray God their lives may be worth living!" She watched the man-servant whom she had chosen to wait on Ardini depart on his errand she saw him open the door of the room where Seaton lay, and shut it then there was a silence.
You will have all you want for him and for yourself. Professor Ardini will talk to you now and tell you everything come away " But Manella was gazing intently at the figure on the bed she saw its grey lips move. With startling suddenness a harsh voice smote the air "There shall be no more wars! There can be none! My Great Secret! I am Master of the World!"
"Why should not God help in this case?" she suggested. "Ah, why!" and Ardini shrugged his shoulders "How can I tell? My long experience has taught me that wherever the law has been broken God does NOT help! Who knows whether this frozen wreck of man has obeyed or disobeyed the law? I can do all that science allows "
Ardini bent his brows yet more frowningly. "Just so!" he answered "But he has neither knowledge nor will nor is he likely ever to have them again. These great attributes of the god in man have been taken from him. Power and Will! Will and Power! the two wings of the Soul! they are gone, probably for ever.
"Tell me just what you mean," she said "There is something you do not quite express or else I am too slow to understand " Ardini took a few paces up and down the loggia and then halted, facing her in the attitude of a teacher preparing to instruct a pupil.
"He remembers nothing he knows nothing" answered Ardini "He does not even realize me as a man I might be a fish or a serpent for all his comprehension. One glance at his moveless eyes is enough to prove that. They are like pebbles in his head without cognisance or expression.
She shrank and shivered, and a faint sobbing cry escaped her. "Come!" said Morgana again, and gently led her away. The spray of orange-blossom fell from her hair as she moved, and Don Aloyslus, stooping, picked it up. Marco Ardini saw his action. "You will keep that as a souvenir of this strange marriage?" he said.
The girl is a beautiful creature she is beginning to regain consciousness but the man I fear is past even YOUR skill. Come!" She led the way and Professor Ardini followed, marvelling at her ethereal grace and beauty, and more than interested in the "case" on which his opinion was sought.
Standing beside the bed with Manella was Marco Ardini, intensely watchful and eager to note even a quiver of the flesh or the tremor of a muscle, and near him was Lady Kingswood, terrified yet enthralled by the scene, and anxious on behalf of Morgana, who looked statuesque and pensive like a small attendant angel close to Don Aloysius.
