In her brief visit to Dion's couch she had not learned how he bore his own misfortunes and Barine's, what view he took of the future, or what he expected from the woman he loved. Charmian's ignorance and silence in regard to these very matters increased the anxiety of the endangered woman, who saw not only her own life, but those dearest to her, seriously threatened.
A lifeguardsman, in a red cloak, and a woman drifted away over the frost among the trees. "I love Mrs. Clarke as a client, but perhaps I love her even more because, through her, I hope to get hold of something I've I've let drop," continued Daventry. "What's that?" Daventry put his arm through Dion's.
They've done admirable work, and the War Office may decide that they've done enough. Things out there have taken a great turn since Roberts and Kitchener went out. The C.I.V. may come marching home long before peace is declared." He spoke with a certain pressure, a certain intensity, and his eyes never left Rosamund's face. "I'm glad my Dion's one of them," she said.
Clarke knew the arrival of Rosamund meant something that might be tremendously important to herself. As she stood there before the church she was groping to find this something; but her mental faculties seemed to be paralyzed, and she could not find it. Rosamund Leith's eyes had told Mrs. Clarke something, that Rosamund knew of Dion's unfaithfulness and who the woman was.
He hurried out as he spoke, and gazed around; but, notwithstanding the bright moonlight, he could see nothing except Father Pyrrhus on his way back to the anchorage. But Dion's ears were keen, and he fancied he heard subdued voices on the other side of the dwelling.
Presently she turned to her Greek dragoman. "Where's the Tekkeh? Is it much farther?" "No, Madame." He pointed. As he did so Rosamund saw Dion's figure standing against the cypress. She stood still. Her face was white and drawn, but full of an almost flaming resolution.
Her inquiry whether he thought it prudent to convey visitors to his guests was answered in the negative, for since Octavianus had been in Asia, the harbour swarmed with the boats of spies, and a single act of imprudence might bring ruin. Charmian's letter, too, was even better calculated to curb Dion's increasing desire to return home than the fisherman's warning.
Archibius took a roll of manuscript from Dion's hand, presented himself before the assembled company as the bride's kyrios, or guardian, and asked Barine whether she so recognized him.
The world will be desolate, life will no longer be worth living, if the iron foot of Rome crushes our independence and freedom." The words had sounded cordial and sincere, and Archibius followed Dion's counsel.
"Certainly women need wisdom now as much as Pandora did." "Then why don't they let us learn things the same as boys," gasped Daphne, a little frightened at her own boldness. "Dion's always telling me I can't do things or go to places because I am a girl. I want to know things if I am a girl. I can't try for the Olympian games and I can't even go to see them just because I am a girl."
