"Who told you John Penelles said such a thing? I do not believe it." "Priscilla Mohun. He said it to her." "Ah! He would not say it to Denasia. And it would not be a bad place to study. I should soon be a favourite with the fishers. I know how to get around that class of people, and I am fond of the sea and could spend a month very comfortably there. Cigars make any place comfortable."
All the way to London he spoke frequently of it. "You are now Denasia, my darling," he said. "Let the old name slip with the old life. Besides, Denasia is an excellent public name. You can sing under it splendidly. Such a noble name! Why did you let everyone spoil it?" "Everyone thought Denas was my name. Father and mother always called me Denas, and people forgot that it was only part of my name.
Penfer, but that Elizabeth herself must have been the perpetrator of the cruelty, unless and she then gave Roland a glance which made him wonder where his willing and obedient Denasia of former days had gone. In all essential points this story was a false one.
When Davis knocked at the door she said drearily, "Come in." She thought it was her husband at last. "Are you Mademoiselle Denasia?" inquired a strange voice. A quick sense of trouble came to her; she stood up and answered "Yes." "There is a gentleman at our house, Mr. Tresham; he is very ill indeed. He asks for you constantly. Mr. Lanhearne thinks you ought to come to him at once." "I am ready."
But if I had not been married, what a jolly time I might now be having with Elizabeth! London, Paris, Switzerland, and no care or trouble of any kind. Oh, what a fool I have been! How terribly I have been deceived!" He did not take into consideration Denasia's disappointment. He had no doubt Denasia was telling all her own sorrows to herself and weeping over them and her miserable little baby.
When the transaction was fully over and Denasia had Elizabeth's cheque in her pocket the day was nearly over. The business agents left hurriedly and Denasia was going with them, when Elizabeth said: "Return a moment, if you please, Mrs. Tresham. I have heard nothing from you about my brother. I think it is your duty to give me some information.
She deplored his absence, and said how much she had needed some one of her own family in the removal from Cornwall and in the settlement of her husband's estate; and she sent her brother a much smaller sum of money than she had ever sent before. When Roland had finished reading this epistle he looked at Denasia. She was walking about the room trying to soothe and quiet the child.
But the monotonous imploring became full of anguish, and he finally took his daughter into his councils and asked what ought to be done. "Denasia ought to be here," answered Ada. "I have her address. Let Davis go for her." "But, my dear! you do not understand that she may that she is, perhaps, not what we should call a good woman." "Dear father, who among us all is good?
Even Christ said, 'Why callest thou Me good? There is none good save one, that is God. We know nothing wrong of her with certainty. Why not give her the benefit of the doubt? Are we not compelled to be thus generous with all our acquaintances?" So Denasia was sent for. She was sitting alone in her comfortless room. The baby was gone away for ever.
"You are for ever nursing that crying little creature, Denasia," he said one day when he returned to their small, warm room in a fever of annoyance at some unappreciative manager. "No one can get your attention for five minutes. You hear nothing I say. You take no interest in anything I do. And the little torment is for ever and for ever crying." "Baby is sick, Roland.
