Now Cyzicus, the songs say, welcomed the heroes; for his father had been one of Cheiron's scholars; so he welcomed them, and feasted them, and stored their ship with corn and wine, and cloaks and rugs, the songs say, and shirts, of which no doubt they stood in need.
But the old woman whined all the more, 'I am weak and old, fair youth. For Hera's sake, carry me over the torrent. And Jason was going to answer her scornfully, when Cheiron's words came to his mind. So he said, 'For Hera's sake, the Queen of the Immortals on Olympus, I will carry you over the torrent, unless we both are drowned midway.
She smiled serenely while they shook hands, and sat down demurely by the Professor's side. "I thought you would have been translated to Olympus long ago," the visitor said. "Have you honored this ordinary earth and our friend Cheiron's cave, ever since?" "Ever since!" "There can be nothing left for you to learn. Master, it is you and I whom she could teach," he laughed.
Before the Professor could leave for a lengthy trip abroad, it was necessary that he should return to the orchard house for a day, and Halcyone accompanied him, leaving Priscilla in London. Her mission was to secure the goddess's head but, as there was no one at La Sarthe Chase, she decided just to go there and get her treasure and sleep the night at Cheiron's.

He listened to their conversation when he could, and it jarred upon him twice when the lady of his choice altogether missed the point of Cheiron's subtle remarks. She whom he had always considered so understanding! Of Halcyone there was no sign and no mention, and for some reason which he could not explain John Derringham felt glad. It seemed an eternity before Mrs.

And so she sat until the clock of the church at Sarthe-under-Crum struck one, and she started up, realizing that she was too late now to go on to Cheiron's and would only just have time to return for lunch with her aunts. She must go instead in the afternoon.
What did anything on earth matter? He was free to go and seek his beloved one and have every sorrow healed as he held her to his heart. The only necessary thing now was to find her immediately, which would require some thinking out. It was too late to get an answer to any telegrams to England he must wait until the morning.
