Now I can tell you something worth hearing about General Hyde." "If it is anything wrong, or unkind, I will not listen to it, Arenta. Have you forgotten that the good Sisters always forbid us to listen to an evil report?" "Then one must shut one's ears if one lives in New York. But, indeed, it is nothing wrong only something romantic and delightful, and quite as good as a story book.
"All I blame Rem for is, that he asked you to marry him. So much for that! I hope if he meddles with women again, he will seek an all-round common-sense Dutch girl, who will know how to direct her letters or else be content with one lover." "Arenta, I shall go now. I have given you an opportunity to be rude and unkind. You cannot expect me to do that again."
He could not have detained Arenta against her will, and if he had, a miserable life would have been before both of them domestic discomfort, public queries and suspicions, questions, doubts, offending sympathies all the griefs and vexations that are sure to follow a Fate that is crossed. He did the best thing possible when he let the wilful girl go as pleasantly as he could.
He asked permission to bring me some of the airs to-night, and I said some civilities. I think they meant 'Yes. Did I do wrong, mother?" "I will say 'no, my dear; as you have given the invitation. But to prevent an appearance of too exclusive intimacy, write to Arenta, and ask her and Rem to take tea with us. Balthazar will carry the note at once." "Mother, Arenta has bought a blue lute string.
She has another lover, of course she has or she would not have talked about her 'honour' to Rem." To such thoughts she was raging, when Peter Van Ariens came home to dinner, and she could not restrain them. He listened for a minute or two, and then struck the table no gentle blow? "In my house, Arenta," he said, "I will have no such words.
Arenta's feelings were in kind and measure shared by several other people; Doctor Moran held them in a far bitterer mood; but he, also, environed by circumstances he could neither alter nor command, was compelled to satisfy his disapproval with promises of a future change. For the wedding of Arenta Van Ariens had assumed a great social importance.
Doctor Kunz will be sure to say some sharp words his tongue is full of them he stands too stiff he does not use his hands gracefully his walk and carriage is not dignified and he looks at you through spectacles and I, for one, do not like to be looked at through spectacles. We must decide for the Episcopal church." "And the little trip after it," continued Arenta.
I myself am looking forward to the delightful change Jacobus may have at Hyde Manor. It will make a new life for him, and also for me. This afternoon something is vexing you. I shall take no offence. You will regret your bad temper to-morrow." To-morrow Arenta did regret; but people do not always say they are sorry, when they feel so.
Everything that she directed, or took charge of, went with an unmistakable vigour to completion; and even Madame Van Heemskirk was delighted with her ability, and grateful for her assistance. "The poor Arenta!" she said to Mrs. Moran; "very helpful she is to us, and for her brother's fault she is not to blame. Wrong it would be to visit it on her."
With blood and death they came, it is fit they should go as they came! Arenta thinks as soon as Fouquier-Tinville heard of them, he doomed the man, for she saw in his eyes that he meant to have them for himself. Well, then, she is also sure that they will take Fouquier-Tinville to the guillotine." "After all, it was a lie she told, Joris." "That is so, but I think her life was worth a few words.
