"Oh, please don't stop, mother," cried Babie; while the more courteous Armine exclaimed "Miss Ogilvie, don't you like to hear about Bevis and Jocelin Joliffe?" "You don't mind waiting while we finish the chapter," added their mother; "then we break up our sitting."
"Oh, we'll get up Madame Tussaud for her at home, free gratis, for nothing at all!" cried Armine, whose hard work inspirited him to fun and frolic. So in the twilight hour two days later there was a grand exhibition of human waxworks, in which Babie explained tableaux represented by the two Johns, Armine, and Cecil, supposed to be adapted to Lina's capacity.
Ibrahim went to and fro in his golden robe over the yellow ground, bringing her food and water with lemon-juice in it, and, when all was carefully and deftly arranged, he said: "Is there anythin' more, my lady?" Mrs. Armine shook her head. "No, Ibrahim. I have everything I want; I am very comfortable here." "All what you want you must have to-day, my lady."
So I was thinking a lot of rubbish over my solitary meal." She looked at the two men apologetically. "La femme pense," she said, and she shrugged her shoulders. Armine drew his chair a little nearer to her, and this action suddenly made Doctor Isaacson realize the power that still dwelt in this woman, the power to govern certain types of men. "And the man acts," completed Armine.
Meyer Isaacson held it for a long while in his hands, forgetful of the tea that was standing at his elbow. The day was dark and grim, a still, not very cold, but hopeless day of the dawning year. And he, was he not holding sunshine? The strange thing was that it did not warm him, that it seemed rather to add a shadow to London's dimness. Mrs. Armine without a maid!
Meantime, the sons could dispose of themselves as they pleased, while under the care of Dr. Medlicott, and were not wanted at home, so that there was little doubt but that they would remain with Armine as long as he needed their physician's care.
He was tender and handy in lifting, tall and strong, so as to be efficient in supporting, and then Armine and he understood one another.
'Cher Armine, said the Count, as he was driving up Charing-cross, 'Catch told me you were going to marry your cousin. Which of those two young ladies is your cousin? 'The fair girl; Miss Grandison. 'So I understood. She is very pretty, but you are not going to marry her, are you? 'No; I am not. 'And who is Miss Temple? 'She is going to be married to Lord Montfort. 'Diable!
At length he made a desperate effort to accompany Glastonbury to the picture gallery and listen to his plans. The scene indeed was not ungrateful to him, for it was associated with the existence and the conversation of the lady of his heart: he stood entranced before the picture of the Turkish page, and lamented to Glastonbury a thousand times that there was no portrait of Henrietta Armine.
Sir Ratcliffe, in general so grave, was to-day quite joyous, and produced a magnum of claret which he had himself discovered in the old cellars, and of which even Glastonbury, an habitual water-drinker, ventured to partake. As for Lady Armine, she scarcely ever ceased talking; she found a jest in every sentence, and seemed only uneasy when there was silence.
