His examination was swift and convincingly competent. He went over the same ground that Hansen had covered, took the blood pressure and other instrumental data, and asked us several questions regarding Ariadne's mentality as we knew it. Scarcely stopping to think it over, Higgins decided: "The young woman is suffering from a temporary dissociation of brain centres.
After another pause, the voice of Bessie again struck up, and this time she sung: "O, had I Ariadne's crown, At morning I would sing to thee Would sing of dew-drops on thy ringlets, Then my Apollo thou should'st be." This, also, was by the learned Doctor Easley, and is extracted from a poem published in his native village many years ago.
The lock is cut, the city falls, the girl is captured by Minos in true Alexandrian technique the catastrophe comes with terrible speed and she is led, not to marriage, but to chains on the captor's galley. Her grief is expressed in a long soliloquy somewhat too reminiscent of Ariadne's lament in Catullus.
As it mounted the gems grew brighter and were turned into stars, and preserving its form Ariadne's crown remains fixed in the heavens as a constellation, between the kneeling Hercules and the man who holds the serpent. Spenser alludes to Ariadne's crown, though he has made some mistakes in his mythology.
To sit in Ariadne's room, to finger the keys of her piano, to look at her music was a necessity for the prince he could not live without it; and the spirit of his grandfather Ilarion was still predicting that sooner or later she would be his wife.
She had felt it often with Paul after one of their long separations how mere physical presence can sometimes bring a consolation to the distressed spirit. As she held her child to her heart, things seemed for a moment quite plain and possible. Why, Paul was Ariadne's father! As soon as he was with her again, all would be well. It must be. Nothing could separate her from the father of her baby!
"Are you fit to be a mother?" he asked harshly. "Wait a minute," said Lydia; she drew a long breath and took hold of the balustrade. "Yes," she answered. "Ariadne's very sick. I oughtn't to have allowed you to wean her with hot weather coming on. You'd better wire Paul." "Yes," she said, not blenching. "What else can I do?"
Then the poet leaps over the interval to the marriage feast, only to dwell upon the sorrows of Ariadne depicted on the coverlet of the marriage couch; thence he takes us back to the causes of Ariadne's woes, thence forward to the vengeance upon Ariadne's faithless lover; then back to the second scene embroidered on the tapestry; and now finally to the wedding itself which ends with the Fates' wedding song celebrating the future glories of Peleus' promised son.
You're morbid, moping around the house too much and your condition and all. Wait till you've got another baby to play with I don't remember you had any doubts of anything the first six months of Ariadne's life. You ought to have a baby a year to keep you out of mischief! Just you wait till you can entertain and live like folks again.
He stopped an instant to laugh at Ariadne's face of determined woe and tossed her up until an unwilling smile broke through her pouting gloom. Then he turned to Lydia, as to another child, and rubbed his cheek on hers with a boyish gesture. "Now, you other little forlornity, what's the matter with you?"
