This state of things was desirable and comfortable for Arenta, and Cornelia also had found a great satisfaction in a friendship which she trusted had fully recognized and accepted its limitations. Now, all these pleasant moderate emotions were stirred into uncomfortable agitation by Rem's unlooked-for and unreasonable request.
She knew that Arenta would again relate all her experiences, and she disliked to mingle them with her renewed dreams of love and her lover. "She will talk and talk," said Cornelia to her mother, "and then there will be tea and chocolate and more talk, and I have heard all I wish to hear about that dreadful city, and the demons who walk in blood."
I think it will be something to talk about when I am an old woman." "My dear one, that is so far off. Go now, and write to Arenta. Young Mr. Hyde and Figaro will doubtless bring her here." "I hope so; for Arenta has an agreeableness that fits every occasion."
I have had only one letter from her since her marriage, and it was written to the word 'glories! She seemed to be living in a blaze of triumph and very happy. But change is the order of the day in France." "Say of the hour, and you are nearer the truth." "If Arenta is in trouble she will cry out, and call for help on every hand.
Then came the breakfast and the health-drinking and the speech-making and the rather sadder drive to the wharf at which lay La Belle France. And even Arenta was by this time weary of the excitement, so that it was almost with a sense of relief she stepped across the little carpeted gangway to her deck.
The great American who loves France and Liberty? 'It is the same, she answered, and then she sat silent, asking no favour, so wise was she, and Fouquier-Tinville looked at the President and said 'among my friends I count this great American! and a juryman added, 'when I was very poor and hungry he fed and helped me, and he bowed to Arenta as he spoke.
"He was not my fate, Arenta." "Well then, neither is George Hyde your fate. Aunt Jacobus has told me some things about him. She says he is to marry his cousin. You ought to marry Rem." As she said these words Van Ariens, accompanied by Joris Van Heemskirk entered the room, and Cornelia was glad to escape.
It had indeed come from Paris, the city of dreadful slaughter, yet Cornelia opened it with a smiling excitement, as she said again: "It is from Arenta!" "Here is a letter from Arenta!" repeated the Doctor to his wife, who was just entering the room, "Come, Ava, and listen to what she has to say. I have no doubt it will be interesting."
Give Cornelia this interval, and tithe it not; in a few days Arenta will have gone away; and as for Hyde, any hour may summon him to join his father in England; and this summons, as it will include his mother, he can neither evade nor put off. Then Rem will have his opportunity." "To be patient to wait to say nothing it is to give opportunity too much scope.
Write me a long letter and tell me all the news of New York, and with my respectful remembrance to your dear father and mother, I am always your loving friend, ARENTA, MARQUISE DE TOUNNERRE. "Poor Arenta!" said the Doctor when Cornelia had finished the wretched epistle. "She is however showing the mettle of the race from which she sprang.
