From one, Aurelia's old nurse, rose a wail of distress; upon her Basil rushed, grasped her by the arm, and sternly demanded what had happened. Dropping to her knees with a shrill cry, the woman declared that Aurelia had vanished, that some one from the city had seen her carried away before dawn. 'Alone? asked Basil in a terrible voice.
With intense anxiety she watched, and assisted in the fomentations, longing for Mr. Belamour's return; but time passed on and still he came not. No words passed, only a few faint sighs, and one of the hands closed tight on Aurelia's. Straight down she ran .... and fatally did vow To wreake her on the mayden messenger Whom she had caused be kept as prisonere.
When the police sergeant heard the Baroness speak the name he shouted out in the greatest delight "Hoho! We've got you at last, Devil Alias, have we?" And in spite of his violent resistance, they marched him off. But notwithstanding all this which had been happening, the Baroness had understood well enough what Aurelia's idea had been.
'The lady Aurelia's name is not unknown to me, said Venantius, when Basil spoke of her at table. He would have added a remark, but paused with a look at the attendant slaves. 'Her illustrious father, he went on, 'I spoke with when I was young.
Prepared then by prayer and meditation, I made solemn and punctilious visits to what I must call the holy places of Aurelia's nation: the Madonna del Bordone, the Madonna delle Grazie, and the Madonna called of Provenzano. Before each of these ladies mournful, helpful, heaven-conversing deities I prayed devoutly, on my knees.
"I don' know how 'tis," grumbled Miranda, who was not able to sit up that day; "but from a child I could never lay abed without Aurelia's gettin' sick too. I don' know 's she could help fallin', though it ain't anyplace for a woman, a haymow; but if it hadn't been that, 't would 'a' been somethin' else. Aurelia was born unfortunate.
Otto turned the ring the second time, and Aurelia's silvery accents immediately became audible to the following effect: "If that fool Otto were here, he would buy it for me." She turned away, and walked down the street. Otto uttered a cry like the shriek of an uprooted mandrake.
Before many hours were over I found myself stabbed more or less vividly by every young woman I met. There was no escaping from Aurelia in Aurelia's own city.
"Then you think Aurelia's beau was really Sir Amyas Belamour," said Harriet, as they sat down to supper. "So it appears," said Betty, gravely. "Do you think he will come hither, sister? I would give the world to see him," continued Harriet. "He said something of hoping for better acquaintance," softly put in Aurelia. "Oh, did he so?" cried Harriet.
And again misfortune overtook the unhappy youth. He lost one arm by the premature discharge of a Fourth of July cannon, and within three months he got the other pulled out by a carding-machine. Aurelia's heart was almost crushed by these latter calamities.
