After a little bluster to which I angrily replied in French, he disappeared, and, as I sat down at the table, Cecelia was looking at me with a queer smile. "I thought you did not understand French," she said. "I observe you have a pretty good Parisian accent." Then the full significance of my blunder came to me and I felt like the classic capricornus, meaning goat.
"Regret pelisse; quite useless; out till late evening. Vivian." "Shall stay till whatever hour; have on hat and bonnet now; starting. Jupiter and Madame Sagittarius." "For Heaven's sake don't; will wire whatever you wish. Vivian." "Don't. Ankles perhaps catching; dangerous Capricornus. Vivian." "Have you started? Vivian."
The zodiacal constellations are roughly about 30° in length, and as Jupiter was in Sagittarius in 1901, he will be in Capricornus in 1902. Saturn, requiring nearly thirty years for a revolution around the sun, moves only between 12° and 13° eastward every year, and, being in conjunction with Jupiter in Sagittarius in 1901, does not get beyond the border of that constellation in 1902.
"Madame Sagittarius, sir," said Malkiel, turning proudly to the Prophet, "my wife, the mother of Corona and Capricornus." The Prophet bowed and the lady inclined herself, slightly protruding her elbows as she did so, as if just to draw attention to the fact that she was possessed of those appendages and could use them if necessary.
In another ten years' time, when I have laid by sufficient, I tell you straight, sir, that I shall go out of prophecy, right out of it." "Then your Capricor that is your son will not carry on the " "Capricornus a prophet, sir!" cried Malkiel. "Not if Madame and I know it. No, sir, Capricornus is to be an architect."
The Prophet was much embarrassed by the encounter. "I am taking these lit" he caught the staring eye of Capricornus "these friends of mine for a little walk," he said. "I'll come with you," said Lady Enid, with an almost Highland decision. "I've got something to say to you, and we can talk as we go."
Ram's vetches on Aries, a piece of beef on Taurus, kidneys and lamb's fry on Gemini, a crown on Cancer, the womb of an unfarrowed sow on Virgo, an African fig on Leo, on Libra a balance, one pan of which held a tart and the other a cake, a small seafish on Scorpio, a bull's eye on Sagittarius, a sea lobster on Capricornus, a goose on Aquarius and two mullets on Pisces.
It represents the signs of the Zodiac with the addition, on the facet opposite the Dogana, of Christ blessing a child. Facing S. Giorgio are Aquarius and Capricornus, facing the Lido are Pisces and Sagittarius. Elsewhere are Justice on the Bull, the Moon in a boat with a Crab, and a Virgin reading to the Twins.
"The granaries!" the Ephesian cried, aghast. The Greek inclined his head. "What what fired them?" the Ephesian asked. "John and Simon differed on the point of its control and each fired it to keep the other from possessing it!" For a moment the Ephesian was thunderstruck. Then he quickened his pace. "By the horns of Capricornus!" he avowed.
Wait till Capricornus has got his Latin by heart and gone to Oxford. Then, and only then, you will know whether Malkiel the Second is the exception to the rule of prophets. Yes, and Madame shall know it, too. She trusted me, sir, as only a woman can. She knew I was a prophet and had a prophet for a father before me. And yet she trusted me. It was a daring thing to do. Many would call it foolhardy.
