Berenice clung to the subject with a tenacity which would have been admirable had the thing been worth while. "I understand you, Erma. You think just as I do, but you are afraid to say so. I suspected from the first where the pin went; but of course I did not say so." "Do you not think it a wise course to follow now to say nothing?" "It is very different now. Before, I was merely suspicious.
Mannering is best left alone now, for the present. You understand me?" Borrowdean shrugged his shoulders. There was a good deal too much sentiment in politics. Mannering and Berenice came together for a few moments on the terrace after dinner.
"It will be a happy day for us when you come, Pollio, you and Berenice; and glad indeed shall I be to have her noble father dwelling among us. Whatever troubles there may be in other parts of Britain I cannot say, but I think I can answer that in Eastern Britain there will never again be a rising." "They are throwing off the ropes," Pollio said; "we must go ashore.
It mus' a been his sperrit!" said superstitious Katie, with the deepest awe. "Claudia, my dearest, what is the matter? What is all this? What has happened?" anxiously inquired the Countess of Hurstmonceux, as, hastily wrapped in her dressing-gown, she hurried into the chamber and up to Claudia's bedside. "Come closer, Berenice; stoop down; now listen!
I know that it was a great disappointment to him, as well as to us, when the letter came yesterday saying that they were to be hunted down and destroyed, and that all not killed in fighting were to be crucified. But we had better go in, Berenice, the dew is beginning to fall." They entered the villa. The general was alone in the atrium. "Is anything the matter, father?"
There is nowhere else for you to go, even if you don't like our hospitality." "That isn't it," he began feebly; "only I've no claim" "There, that will do," Berenice interposed with decision. "Do you suppose, grandmother, that it's possible to get anybody to come and see his arm?" "I'm afraid not, dear," was the answer. "Everybody's at the wreck.
"There is a young lady, your Grace," he announced, "who has been waiting to see you for half an hour. Her name is Miss Phillimore." "Where is she?" Berenice asked. "In the library, your Grace." "Show her into my own room," Berenice said, "I will see her at once." Hester was a little nervous, but Berenice set her immediately at her ease by the graciousness of her manner.
"But a rapid journey costs money, and Amru always chooses the road by the mountains and Berenice," observed the treasurer. "If we put together our last gold pieces they will hardly suffice." "Keep them, you will want them here," said the little girl. "And yet there are my pearls, to be sure, and my mother's jewels at the same time. . . ."
And if she and all like her were to 'perish, as you call it, the world would be so much the better for it! They are the pests of society!" "Mamma, in pity, look at her! consider her situation! She would surely die! and not alone, mamma! think of that!" pleaded Berenice. "Jovial! am I to be obeyed or not?" sternly demanded the elder lady.
Berenice must be a most abandoned, as well as a most immoral, woman! No one who even hinted at the doctrine of love without marriage could be altogether respectable. Not that Berenice had ever done that. Still, she had written of marriage, the usual run of marriages, from a woman's point of view, as a very hateful thing. What did she require, then, of her sex?
