His beautiful yacht, the Consuelo, may generally be seen anchored here, when not in actual service. Half a mile from Tallac is The Grove, close to the Upper Truckee River, the main feeder of Lake Tahoe, and four miles further is Al-Tahoe, a new and well-equipped hotel, standing on a bluff commanding an expansive view of the Lake.
My dear Friend, I finished "Consuelo" some time since, though I have not yet read the "Countess." I read what you said in the Harbinger, and am waiting for the promised continuation. Meanwhile you shall hear something of the impression she made upon me. Consuelo is a natural, not a pious person.
She is trying, however, to select among her acquaintance another lady in waiting the more willingly as she is not pleased with my marriage. Is that a satisfaction to you? I expect to spend the winter in Rome. This was the letter by which Maria Consuelo announced her marriage to the father whom she so sincerely hated.
He made an admirable translation of George Sand's "Consuelo" for the paper, in which that novel was for the first time printed in this country. Their children were frequently at the farm, and grew up in the midst of such ideas and influences as it fostered.
But as I reasoned later that she was only trying to avoid a merely formal meeting, I thought no more about it. It was not until I called at the house to fetch Chu Chu at the usual hour, and found that Consuelo had not yet returned, that a recollection of Chu Chu's furious pace again troubled me. An hour passed it was getting towards sunset, but there were no signs of Chu Chu nor her mistress.
Presently he reappeared, and with him the lovely Consuelo her dear eyes filled with an adorable anxiety. "Yes," continued Enriquez to his sister, with a confidential lowering of tone but great distinctness of utterance, "it is ever so with the American! He will ever make first the salutation of the flower or the fruit, picked to himself by his own hand, to the lady where he call.
Could it be, he asked himself, that Maria Consuelo was trying to make him say the words, and that her will, with her question, acted directly on his mind? He scouted the thought as soon as it presented itself, not only for its absurdity, but because it shocked some inner sensibility. "What were you going to say?" asked Madame d'Aranjuez almost carelessly.
Kiss me again, consuelo de mi alma!" and they separated suddenly, to speak no more that night. The next morning, when Elena went to Joaquin's room to make the bed, she found Dario's note in the pocket of the coat, but she had had no opportunity to write one herself. Nor did she have time to read his until after dinner, although it burned her neck and took away her appetite.
It was not to be expected, however, that Orsino should take Maria Consuelo literally at her word, and cease from visiting her all at once. If not really in love with her, he was at least so much interested in her that he sorely missed the daily half hour or more which he had been used to spend in her society.
His gaze was riveted on Consuelo; gradually the shade crept from his forehead to his lips, and covered his face with a snowy veil. "It is the hand of Death!" said the doctor, breaking the silence. Consuelo would take neither her husband's title nor his riches. "Stay with us, my daughter?" cried the canoness, "for you have a lofty soul and a great heart!"
