Dares he think to win an influence, to turn against me, against us? Happily, when I shall come back, my uncle will probably be restored to the false strength which deceives him; he will have less need of Dalibard; and then then let the Frenchman beware! I have already a plot to turn his schemes to his own banishment.
It seemed as if now, when danger became most imminent and present, that that very danger served to restore to Lucretia Dalibard her faculties, which during the earlier day had been steeped in a kind of dreary stupor. The absolute necessity of playing out her execrable part with all suitable and consistent hypocrisy, braced her into iron.
All was deceit and hollowness and treachery. Lone again in the universe rose the eternal I. So down into the abyss she looked, depth upon depth, and the darkness had no relief, and the deep had no end. Olivier Dalibard alone, of all she knew, was admitted to her seclusion.
The danger was passed, the dark foe driven from the citadel. Sir Miles spoke audibly, though incoherently, as he was taken back to his bed, warmly covered up, the lights removed, noise forbidden, and Dalibard and the doctor remained in silence by the bedside. "Rich man," thought Dalibard, "thine hour is not yet come; thy wealth must not pass to the boy Mainwaring."
If so, if so, you shall " Madame Dalibard again stopped abruptly, and there was something terrible in the very exultation of her countenance. She drew a long breath, and resumed, with an evident effort at self-command, "If so, I have a right to the interest I feel for you. Suffer me yet to be silent as to the grounds of my belief, and and love me a little in the mean while!"
Fortune, accident, would have taken from us the great zest of life, which is desire. When I see you, I shall tell you that I have some fears of Olivier Dalibard; he has evidently some wily project in view. He, who never interfered before with the blundering physician, now thrusts him aside, affects to have saved the old man, attends him always.
M. Dalibard has instilled this strange fancy into your head?" "No, 'S life; if he had taken such a liberty, I should have lost my librarian. No, I assure you, it was rather Vernon; you know true love is jealous." "Vernon!" thought Lucretia; "he must go, and at once."
"No," she said in a calm voice, to which the venom of secret irony gave stinging significance, "no, you spoke not of Mr. Vernon; you thought that if I looked round, if I looked nearer, I might have a fairer choice." "You are cruel, you are unjust," said Dalibard, falteringly. "If I once presumed for a moment, have I repeated my offence?
But Ardworth, jarred from his revery or resolves by the sound of a voice discordant to his ear at all times, especially in the mood which then possessed him, scarcely returned Varney's salutation, buttoned his coat over his chest, seized his hat, and upsetting two chairs, and very considerably disturbing the gravity of a round table, forced his way to Madame Dalibard, pressed her hand, and said in a whisper, "I shall see you again soon," and vanished.
Now, since Helen is recommended change of air, why not invite Madame Dalibard to visit you at one of these places? I would suggest Laughton. My poor mother-in-law I know longs to revisit the scenes of her youth, and you could not compliment or conciliate her more than by such an invitation."
