They were hostile; yet when the favourite intimated that he, too, ought to be given up to justice, she showed so much hesitation, that Alexas stopped abruptly and turned the conversation upon Barine. Here she promised assistance with her former eager zeal, and it was settled that the arrest should be made the following morning during the hours of Charmian's attendance upon the Queen.
In her brief visit to Dion's couch she had not learned how he bore his own misfortunes and Barine's, what view he took of the future, or what he expected from the woman he loved. Charmian's ignorance and silence in regard to these very matters increased the anxiety of the endangered woman, who saw not only her own life, but those dearest to her, seriously threatened.
Charmian's confession was preceded by the statement that she longed for rest yet, nevertheless, was ready to remain with her royal friend, in every situation, until she no longer desired her services and sent her away. But she feared that this moment had come.
Not until she entered the second room, which she had assigned to her guest, did she find Barine, who was weeping bitterly. During Charmian's absence the latter had received a letter from Alexas, in which he informed her that he was ordered by the Queen to subject her to an examination the next morning.

There was no change in her affection for Cornelia; and there were times when Cornelia longed to trust her fully; she knew that it would be safe, and she did not believe that it would lower her in Charmian's eyes; but to keep the fact of her weakness altogether her own seemed the only terms on which she could bear it.

I wish you could have come!" She held out her thin hand, smiling. She was looking very serene, very sure of herself. "I'm to answer Mrs. Shiffney on Sunday," said Heath abruptly. Something in Charmian's voice and manner had made him feel defiant. "Oh, I thought you had answered! Is Sunday your day for making up your mind?" Before he could reply she went out of the room slowly, smiling.
For one of the most curious features of Sennier's vogue was the worship accorded by women as well as by men to his dominating wife. They talked and thought almost as much about her as they did about him. And though his was the might of genius, hers seemed to be the might of personality. The perpetual chanting of the Frenchwoman's praises had "got upon" Charmian's nerves.
"'I believe that's all a woman wants." "Is it?" Mrs. Mansfield's dark, intense eyes searched Charmian's. "Is it all that you want?" "You mean ?" "Isn't the fear of the crowd still haunting you? Isn't uneasy ambition still tugging at you?" Charmian took her foot away from Caroline's side and sat very still for a moment. "I do want Claude to succeed, yes, I do, Madre.
