Now she was bound to her lover, and knew herself to be pure and guiltless, far better entitled to demand respect from sterner judges of morality than the woman who condemned her, or the spiteful Iras, who had not ceased to offer her love to Dion.
When she had finished it evidently it was not a long letter she put it back into the envelope, laid it down on the green divan and said: "What do you think of this room? It was designed and arranged by Monsieur de Vaupre, a French friend of mine." "By a man!" said Dion, irrepressibly. "Who hasn't been in the South African War. Do you like it?" "I don't think I do, but I admire it a good deal."
"Oh to be sure! I wanted to talk to you about Rose." The smile became very sweet and welcoming on Mrs. Leith's handsome round face. "There's nothing wrong, I'm sure. Your Rosamund sheds confidence in her dear self like a light all round her." "Nothing wrong no. I didn't mean that." Dion paused.
The old man was rejoiced to learn that his granddaughter had escaped so great a peril uninjured, yet he was still burdened by sore anxiety. The architect, too, feared the worst, but by dint of assuring him that he would return at once with full details when he had ascertained the fate of Dion and his betrothed bride, he finally persuaded the old man to give up the night walk through the tempest.
Heraclides, therefore, took a new advantage of him, and, being at Messene, harangued the soldiers and ships' crews that sailed with him, accusing Dion that he had a design to make himself absolute. And yet at the same time he held private correspondence for a treaty with Dionysius by means of Pharax the Spartan.
He had recognized Archibius's swift galley from the bust of Epicurus which was illumined by the light of the lantern in the prow. Cleopatra had had it placed upon the ship which, by her orders, had been built for her friend. Dion now desired to join him, and was soon standing on the deck at his side. He had landed on the island of Pharos, and entered a sailors' tavern to learn what was passing.
Clarke was sitting in the green-and-blue room in the first floor with Lady Ingleton, and they were talking about Dion. "He's here now," said Mrs. Clarke to her friend. "Where?" "In the garden. I haven't seen him, but Osman tells me he has gone up to the pavilion." "We can stroll up there later on, and then you can introduce him if you want to." "No."
The hall seemed very dark and fiery after the radiance of that other morning; the guests were as Linus had left them; Dion sat in his place; and just as Linus came to his own chair, it seemed to him that some one slipped quietly away; and Dion looked at him with a very tender and inquiring gaze. "Yes," said Linus, "I have seen." "And you understand?" said Dion.
But she refrained, and when his purple cloak vanished from her sight her head drooped again. How different in former days were the cheers of the troops when he showed himself to them! This lukewarm response to his gay, glad greeting was no omen of victory. Dion, too, witnessed the departure of the troops.
The third point of the conception concerning the gods is, that the gods do in nothing so much differ from men as in happiness and virtue. But according to Chrysippus, they have not so much as this difference. For he says that Jupiter does not exceed Dion in virtue, but that Jupiter and Dion, being both wise, are equally aided by one another, when one comes into the motion of the other.
