Take back that fortune, madam, which has made an honest man waver for a moment in his conscience. I will do what you ask, but for nothing." If grandpapa was getting tired of walking up and down in the Square, the sisters of Mechinet found time pass still more slowly in their workroom. They asked each other, "What can Miss Dionysia have to say to brother?"
While he was thus replying, he had folded up his napkin, and lighted a candle. "Good-night!" he said to his sisters. "I won't see you again to-night," and, bowing deeply to Miss Chandore, he went out, his candle in his hand. "Where is your brother going?" Dionysia asked eagerly. "To his room, madam. His room is just opposite on the other side of the staircase." Dionysia was as red as fire.
Having once yielded to Dionysia's suggestions, Mechinet had, unconsciously, bound himself to her forever. "No: do not go there, madam," he said. "You could not make Blangin believe that he runs no danger; nor could you sufficiently arouse his cupidity. I will speak to him myself." "O sir!" exclaimed Dionysia, "how can I ever?" "How much may I offer him?" asked the clerk.
Have you no longer confidence in me? Do you think I am a child, from whom the truth must be concealed, or so feeble and good for nothing, that I cannot bear my share of your troubles? Do not smile, Jacques; for I know you have no hope." "You are mistaken, Dionysia, I assure you." "No, Jacques. They are concealing something from me, I know, and I do not ask you to tell me what it is.
"It is madness," he said, "to try to establish M. de Boiscoran's innocence without having first communicated with him." "And if you could do so to-morrow?" asked Dionysia. "Then, madam, he might give us the key to this mystery, which we are in vain trying to solve; or, at least, he might tell us the way to find it all out. But that is not to be thought of.
If I escape, my whole life will not suffice to prove my gratitude." But he tried to master his emotion, and turning to Aunt Elizabeth, he said, "Will you pardon me if I beg you to render me once more the service you have done me before? It is all important that no one should hear what I am going to say to Dionysia. I know I am watched."
True, she could not be persuaded to make a frank confession, but he, Bias, would let his right hand wither if Hermon's companion at the Dionysia was any other than Althea. His master would own that he was right if he imagined her with black hair instead of red.
In the worthy Cerimon, who restored Thaisa to life, we are instructed how goodness, directed by knowledge, in bestowing benefits upon mankind approaches to the nature of the gods. It only remains to be told that Dionysia, the wicked wife of Cleon, met with an end proportionable to her deserts.
Meantime, at Tarsus, Leonine, fearing the anger of Dionysia, told her he had killed Marina; and that wicked woman gave out that she was dead, and made a pretended funeral for her, and erected a stately monument; and shortly after Pericles, accompanied by his loyal minister Helicanus, made a voyage from Tyre to Tarsus, on purpose to see his daughter, intending to take her home with him: and he never having beheld her since he left her an infant in the care of Cleon and his wife, how did this good prince rejoice at the thought of seeing this dear child of his buried queen! but when they told him Marina was dead, and showed the monument they had erected for her, great was the misery this most wretched father endured, and not being able to bear the sight of that country where his last hope and only memory of his dear Thaisa was entombed, he took ship, and hastily departed from Tarsus.
I do not give them up. Cocoleu is an impostor, and it shall be proved. I appear to notice him no longer; but, in reality, I watch him more closely than ever." Dionysia interrupted him, saying, "Before any thing is decided, there is one fact which you all ought to know. Listen."
