And Cheiron stirred in his chair. It was all paining him horribly, but until he could be sure what would be best for her he must not show his sympathy. "I will send Demetrius with the answer when it comes, and I will telegraph to Wendover morning and night, dear child," he said. "I knew you would feel for me." And with this, the sad little comedy between them ended, for Halcyone got up to leave.
And Cheiron laughed and said, "Sit here till sundown, when your playfellows will come home, and you shall learn like them to be a king, worthy to rule over gallant men." Then he turned to Æson, who had followed his son into the cave, and said, "Go back in peace. This boy shall not cross the river again till he has become a glory to you and to your house."
And great Cheiron leapt up joyfully, and his hoofs made the cave resound, as they shouted, 'Come out, Father Cheiron; come out and see our game. And one cried, 'I have killed two deer; and another, 'I took a wild cat among the crags; and Heracles dragged a wild goat after him by its horns, for he was as huge as a mountain crag; and Coeneus carried a bear-cub under each arm, and laughed when they scratched and bit, for neither tooth nor steel could wound him.
"Things are changing, Halcyone," he had said, with the whimsical raising of his left penthouse brow. "Perhaps you will not want to learn Greek much longer with your crabbed old Cheiron in his cave." And she had flung her arms round his neck and buried her face in his silver beard, and assured him she would always want to learn all her life.
This did not produce a favorable note. Cheiron watched the meeting with inward amusement. "This is my little friend Halcyone La Sarthe," he said. "Halcyone, yonder Tityus in these latter days is known by the name of John Derringham of Derringham in the County of Northampton. Make your bows to one another." Halcyone inclined her head with dignity, but Mr.
He had attended to every point, he believed, even having written a letter to Cheiron which he had taken the precaution to give to his servant to post from London on the following morning, so that there would be no Bristol mark as a clew to their whereabouts.
And forth from its stand he drew his father's spear, heavy and great and strong: that spear could none other of the Achaians wield, but Achilles alone awaited to wield it, the Pelian ashen spear that Cheiron gave to his father dear, from a peak of Pelion, to be the death of warriors.
Tall, imperious and majestic, Dea Flavia unconscious alike of the deference of the crowd and the timorous astonishment of the slaves looked up at Cheiron, the auctioneer, and resumed with a touch of impatience in her rich young voice: "I said that I would bid thirty aurei for this girl!" Less than a minute had elapsed since Dea Flavia's sudden appearance on the scene.
But when he got there, he found Cheiron very taciturn contributing little more than a growl now and then, while he smoked his long pipe and played with his beard. So at last he got up to go. "I have made up my mind to marry Mrs. Cricklander, Master," he said. "I supposed so," the Professor replied dryly.
Taurus Antinor had as yet made no movement or given any sign to Cheiron as to what he should do; but those who watched him with anxious interest could see the dark frown on his brow grow darker still and darker, until his whole face seemed almost distorted with an expression of passionate wrath.
