"Yes, it is Heaven, and love is the bridge that you cross on, and when you git across you can't always be singin' the weddin'-march but afterwards well, you can hum a lullaby. "Now we're comin' to the house" as they turned into the drive "and I jest want to say this, dear " She took Daphne's face in her two hands and looked into her eyes.
Giacomo shook his head and groaned, for his understanding was exhausted. "I go to carry food to the man who is ill," recited Daphne, her foot tapping the floor in impatience. She thrust her phrase-book out toward Giacomo, but he shook his head again, being one whose knowledge was superior to the mere accomplishment of reading. Daphne's short skirt and red felt hat disappeared in the kitchen.
Within a few moments a motor was heard at the door and Daphne's young voice was calling: "Can we come in, Miss Doane? Where is the baby?" Daphne entered, interested and excited, followed by her father, stiff, erect, the correct lawyer troubled by unnecessary and petty affairs of the women world.
Both left the tent as he spoke, and Hermon uttered a sigh of relief as he looked after them. She attributed the basest motives to him, and Daphne's opinion of her was scarcely too severe. He no longer needed to fear her power of attraction, though, now that he had seen her again, he better understood the spell which she had exerted over him.
He, too, had brought home a great quantity of booty, with which he had expected to awaken Daphne's admiration, and to lay as a token of homage at her feet. He had intended to lead before her garlanded slaves bearing, tied by ropes, bunches of slaughtered wild fowl, but his reception was very different from what he had anticipated.
He genuinely admires and respects and appreciates all Daphne's sweet and charming qualities." "Then what do you suppose is the matter?" "I have an inkling of the truth: I imagine Mr. Cecil must have let himself in for a prior attachment." "If so, why does he hang about Daphne?" "Because he can't help himself. He's a good fellow and a chivalrous fellow.
And as she did so, a thin woman, with frightened eyes, in a nurse's dress, came quickly into the room, as though Daphne's cry had signalled to her. She was behind Roger, and he was not aware of her approach. "Daphne, don't be such a little fool!" he said indignantly, holding her off with one hand, determined not to give her the letter.
When a boat which belonged to Daphne's galley was finally given to him, the Biamite girl was no longer at the place appointed for the meeting. Hoping to find her on the Owl's Nest with old Tabus, he then landed there, but had been so uncivilly rebuffed on the shore by a rough fellow that he might be glad to have escaped with sound limbs.
"Oh, Father!" interrupted Daphne. "He is so old and slow. He'd never get here. Why don't you ask Dr. Eaton? He lives near here." Mr. Thornton pursed up his lips. "He is far too young. He has not the experience of Dr. Rathman." "But, Father, the baby isn't dying." Drusilla's shrewd old eyes looked keenly at Daphne's flushed face, and she laughed. "I think Daphne is right. A young doctor's better.
His cautious expression of regret must refer to the head of his Demeter. Yet surely it was not his fault that Daphne's features bore the impress of that gentle, winning kindness which he himself and Soteles, imitating him, had often condemned as weak and characterless.
