His little saucy, selfish, but dearly loved Arenta would come there no more; and he found not one word that could express the tide of sorrow rising in his heart. Doctor John understood. He remained quiet, silent, clasping Van Ariens' hand until the desolate father with a great effort blurted out "She is gone! and smiling, also, she went."
She has had too much of George Hyde, and Madame Jacobus, and Rem Van Ariens." "I hear that Rem is greatly taken with Boston, and thinks of opening an office there." "Very prudent of Rem. What chance has he in New York with Hamilton and Burr, to carry off all the big prey? Make your arrangements as soon as possible to leave New York." "You are sure that you are right in choosing Philadelphia?"
Indeed, they stood a few minutes in the Van Ariens' parlour to exchange their opinions still further "I think Cornelia was jealous of me, Rem. That, in plain Dutch, is what it all means. Does she imagine that I desire the attentions of a man who is neither an American nor a Dutchman? I do not. I speak the truth always, for I love the truth."
Without a pause, without an erasure this letter had transcribed itself from Cornelia's heart to the small gilt-edged note paper; but she found it a much more difficult thing to answer the request of Rem Van Ariens. She was angry at him for putting her in such a dilemma.
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.
Yes, you do, Ava! I see it on your face. You stretch my patience too far. Can I not see " "Can an angry man ever see? No, he cannot. You feed your own suspicions, John. You might just as well link Cornelia's name with Rem Van Ariens as with Joris Hyde. She is continually in Rem's company. He is devoted to her.
"Much she has suffered, Lysbet." "Much she ought to suffer. And I believe not in Arenta Van Ariens' suffering. In some way, by hook or crook, by word or deed, she would out of any trouble work her way." "I will sit a little by the fire, Lysbet. Sit down by me. My mind is full of her story." "That is it.
Van Ariens, went to Lord Hyde. Now you will understand many things. I found out this mistake through the young lady Mr. Van Ariens is intending to marry. Can you send to me, for Lord Hyde, a copy of the letter you intended for him. When I receive it, you may content your heart.
Come, now, and drink a cup of tea. To- morrow the Van Ariens' excitement will be over, and we shall have rest." "I think not. The town is now ready to move to Philadelphia. I hear that Mrs. Adams is preparing to leave Richmond Hill. Washington has already gone, and Congress is to meet in December. Even the Quakers are intending all sorts of social festivities." "But this will not concern us."
But in spite of this assurance, madame went over the whole story in detail, and Cornelia could not help but remember that Mr. Van Ariens had said "about her husband she will talk constantly, and to the whole town." For however far the conversation diverged for a moment, madame always brought it sharply back to the one subject that interested her.
