"Had I not?" "I never heard of one." "Think, Genta I was she not called Anegay?" Genta's shake of the head was decided enough to settle any question, but Belasez fancied she caught a momentary flash in her eyes which was by no means a negation. But Belasez did not hear a few sentences that were uttered before Genta left the house. "Aunt Licorice, what has Belasez got in her head?"
"Let Him do what seemeth Him good. He said unto Shimei, Curse David. Methinks He hath said to thee, Love Bruno. The Holy One forbid that I should grudge the love of of our child, to the desolate heart which we made desolate. Adonai knows, and He only, whether we did good or bad. Pray to Him, my Belasez, to forgive that one among us who truly needs His forgiveness!"
"I do not like him; I love him," said Belasez, with more warmth than usual. "What a confession!" answered Doucebelle, playfully. "Oh, not that sort of love!" responded Belasez with a tinge of scorn. "I think it must be the sort that we can take into Heaven with us."
Belasez kissed her hand and that of Margaret: but the tears choked the girl's voice as she turned to follow her father. The arguments against idolatry which Margaret had heard from Belasez were ghosts easily laid by Father Nicholas. But there had been one listener to that conversation, of whom neither party took account, and who could not forget it. This was Doucebelle de Vaux.
"Bruno! de Malpas?" "I never heard of any name but Bruno." "Has he talked with thee?" Abraham's whole manner showed agitation. "Much." "Upon what subjects?" Belasez would gladly have avoided that question. "Different subjects," she said, evasively. "Tell me what he said when he first met thee."
A Persian satrap, enclosed in a coat of mail and a surcoat with a silver shield, whereon an exceedingly rampant red lion was disporting itself, appeared to be coming to the help of his liege lady; while a tall white lily, in a flower-pot about twice the size of the throne, occupied one side of the picture. To all these details Belasez paid no attention.
"Ay, I am trying to learn that," replied Abraham, in a voice of great pain. "For at times He sends that which breaks the heart." "That He may heal it, my father." The title, from Bruno's lips, surprised and puzzled Belasez. "It may be so," said Abraham in a rather hopeless tone. "`It is Adonai; let Him do what seemeth Him good. So thou hast made friends with my Belasez."
She was too ignorant to be sure, but she fancied they had been doing something wrong. "I should think," said Margaret warmly, "that you Jews must hate us Christians." "Christians are not all alike," said Belasez with a faint smile. "But do you not hate us?" persisted Margaret. "Delecresse does, I am afraid," replied Belasez, colouring. "But thyself?" "No. O my Damsel, no!"
"I wish thou wouldst tell thy feelings to Father Bruno." "I shall wait till he asks me, I think," said Belasez a little drily. "Well, I am sure he will." "I am not sure that he will twice." "Why, what wouldst thou say to him?" "He will hear if he wants to know." And Belasez thereupon "shut up like a coffer," and seemed to have lost her tongue for the remainder of the night.
Fulk le Especer was so good as to tell me that folks of her sort are mighty fond of ham; so I took great care to bring her some. There'll be sauce with the next." That there would be sauce of one species with every course served to her in that house, Belasez was beginning to feel no doubt. Yet however Levina chose to behave to her, the young Jewess maintained her own dignity.
