No one who has not breathed the soft air of the south at an hour such as we have described, can well realize the tender influence that it exercises upon a susceptible disposition. The whole party gazed for some minutes in silence, apparently charmed by the scene. There was a hallowing and chastening influence in the very air, and the gay coquette was softened into the tender woman.
But prosperity did not seem to have brought happiness to the whilom, poor Russian student, even though he had fought his way to it unaided. The weeks went on and Passover drew nigh. The recurrence of the feast brought no thrill to Esther now. It was no longer a charmed time, with strange things to eat and drink, and a comparative plenty of them stranger still.
The visitor was charmed with the quiet old rooms, especially with Hadria's bedroom in the tower, whose windows were so deep-set that they had to be approached through a little tunnel cut out of the thickness of the wall. The windows looked on to the orchard at the back, and in front over the hills.
Subsequently I learned that it was a peculiarity of his to be charmed with anyone who did not openly insult him. Three days afterwards he burst into my study unannounced he appeared to regard himself as my bosom friend and asked me to forgive him for not having called sooner, which I did.
