But in a few minutes his master said to him with a singular expression: "Does not Van Dael mention General Simon in connection with Djalma's imprisonment and his father's death?" "He does not allude to him," said the secretary, continuing his task. Rodin's master was silent, and paced the room. In a few moments Rodin said to him: "I have done it." "Go on, then."
The count having paused a second, by reason of the barbarous spelling of the name of Djalma's father, Adrienne immediately said to him, in her soft voice: "The son of Kadja-sing." "What a memory!" said the count, with a smile. And he resumed: "'A young hero, the son of Kadja-sing, king of Mundi.
She spoke those words in a low voice, trembling with passionate love, and, leaning upon Djalma's knees, approached so near, that he felt her warm breath upon his cheek. His face, like the young girl's, became once more splendidly beautiful. "Oh, my lover! my husband! how beautiful you are!" said Adrienne, with idolatry. "Those eyes that brow those lips how I love them!
With regard to Djalma's presence at the theatre, Rodin had learned from her maid, Florine, that her mistress was to go in the evening to the Porte-Saint Martin.
Standing respectfully in a corner of the saloon, the half-caste appeared to be occupied in unfolding and spreading out Djalma's sash, light, silky Indian web, the brown ground of which was almost entirely concealed by the exquisite gold and silver embroidery with which it was overlaid. The countenance of the half-caste wore a dark and gloomy expression. He could not deceive himself.
The latter, surprised at the animated expression of Djalma's countenance, and his almost frantic air, made a sign of interrogation to Faringhea, who answered him privately in the following symbolical manner: After laying his forefinger on his head and heart, he pointed to the fire burning in the chimney, signifying by his pantomimic action that the head and heart of Djalma were both in flames.
On this horrible accusation, Djalma's golden complexion, transparent as amber, became suddenly the color of lead; his eyes, fixed and staring showed the white round the pupil his upper lip, red as blood, was curled in a kind of wild convulsion, which exposed to view the firmly-set teeth and his whole countenance became so frightfully threatening and ferocious, that Mother Bunch shuddered with terror.
On the death of the latter, neither Djalma nor the king, his father, claimed their little property. It is, therefore, certain that they are ignorant of the grave interests connected with the possession of the medal in question, which formed part of the property of Djalma's mother."" Rodin's master interrupted him.
The young lady had imposed on herself this tender and patient study of Djalma's character, not only to justify to her own mind the intensity of her love, but because this period of trial, to which she had assigned a term, enabled her to temper and divert the violence of Djalma's passion a task the more meritorious, as she herself was of the same ardent temperament.
He will have sufficient courage and dignity to wait patiently in prison for the day of justice. In all this, you see, I spoke nothing but the truth, and had not to reproach myself with the least deception, for nobody in the world is more convinced than I am of Djalma's innocence.
