But when things have gone a certain length they have fatality. The Marquis had promised to become eventually a citizen of this Republic, and Van Ariens had no idea in sanctioning the marriage that his daughter would leave New York.
"Van Ariens," he said warmly, "this treatment of King Louis and his family is hardly to be believed. It is too much, and too far. If King George had been our prisoner we should have behaved towards him with humanity. After this, no one can foresee what may happen in France." "That is the truth, my friend," answered Van Ariens.
Van Ariens, I shall not feel free. And also, I do not wish him to come here, and in his last letter he spoke of such an intention." So the two letters that of Hyde to Cornelia, and that of Mary Darner to Van Ariens, left England for America in the same packet; and though Mary Darner undoubtedly had some suffering and disappointment to conquer, the fight was all within her.
"It is from Captain Seabright, who is now in Pondicherry," she explained. "He loves me, Annie. He loved me long ago, and went to India to make money; now he says he has enough and to spare; and he asks me if I have forgotten." "There is Mr. Van Ariens to consider. You have promised to marry him, Mary. It is not hard to find the right way on this road, I think." "Of course.
Not taking Rem Van Ariens seriously into his consideration, and not fearing his rival in any way, it was beyond all his suspicions that Rem should write to Cornelia in the same hour, and for the same purpose as himself. He had no knowledge of Rem's intention to go to Boston, and could not therefore imagine Cornelia "grieving" at any journey but his own impending one to England.
It came one day about noon, and a slave of Van Ariens brought it a piece of paper twisted carelessly but containing these few pregnant words: Cornelia, dear, come to me. Bring me something to wear. I have just arrived, saved by the skin of my teeth, and I have not a decent garment of any kind to put on.
'WE HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY. Oh it is piteous, sad. So young, so fair, so false! and she 'GRIEVES AT MY GOING AWAY, and bids me on 'NO ACCOUNT CALL ON HER FATHER' and takes pains to tell me the 'NO IS ABSOLUTE' and I am not to 'BLAME HER. Oh this is the vilest treachery! She might as well have played the coquette in speech as writing. It is Rem Van Ariens who is at the bottom of it.
Cornelia is too young for lovers, and it is not desirable that she should have attentions from young men who have no intentions. I do not want her to be what is called a belle. Certainly not." "But the young men do not think her too young to be loved. I can see that Rem Van Ariens is very fond of her." "Rem is a very fine young man.
O dearest Cornelia, I am, as you know well, your humble servant, REMBRANDT VAN ARIENS. When he had finished this letter, he folded and sealed it, and walked to the window with it in his hand. Then he saw Cornelia returning home from some shopping or social errand, and hastily calling a servant, ordered him to deliver the letter at once to Miss Moran.
She was positive Rem Van Ariens was himself the thief of her cousin's love and happiness, and the bringer of grief almost of death to Cornelia. All the facts she did not have, but facts are little; intuition is everything. She said to herself, "I shall not be long here, and before I go away, I must put right love's wrong."
