"Pass Adrian's proofs? I? I wouldn't presume to do such a thing." "Well, here they are, anyway," said Jaffery. And to the bewilderment of Barbara and myself, he snapped open the hasps of his suit-case and drew out a great thick clump of galley-proofs fastened by a clip at the left hand top corner, which he deposited on Doria's lap.
The result of her interview with her nephew was, that Richard made no allusion to a departure on the Tuesday; and for many days afterward he appeared to have an absorbing business on his hands: but what it was Adrian did not then learn, and his admiration of Mrs. Doria's genius for management rose to a very high pitch. On a morning in October they had an early visitor in the person of the Hon.
Conceiving that Ochiali, on the Ottoman left, was trying to outflank the Christian fleet, he bore out to sea in order to turn him. In vain Don John sent to recall him; he had gone out of reach, and the battle had to be fought without the right wing. Doria's precious manoeuvring went near to losing the day.
"Yes," she assented. "I can live now for Adrian's memory." I suppose most women in Doria's position would have said much the same. In ordinary circumstances one approves the pious aspiration. If it gives them temporary comfort, why, in Heaven's name, shouldn't they have it? But in Doria's case, its utterance gave me a kind of stab in the heart.
"Was his appointment at the house of those Grandison people?" Mrs. Doria asked, with a hostile upper-lip. Adrian warmed the blindfolded parties by replying, "Do they keep a beadle at the door?" Mrs. Doria's animosity to Mrs. Grandison made her treat this as a piece of satirical ingenuousness. "I daresay they do," she said. "And a curate on hand?" "Oh, I should think a dozen!" Old Mr.
Their souls hover anxiously over their India fleet. ZENTURIONE. Learn to esteem our nobles more justly. Scarcely was Doria's haughty action done when hundreds of them rushed into the street tearing their garments. The senate was dispersed Like frighted pigeons when the vulture darts upon the dovecot. ZENTURIONE. No! ZIBO. The people are enraged.
As the admiral's galley at the head of the line passed the walls of the town, she was received with a hot fire, and one large cannonball struck the stern of Doria's ship, doing considerable structural damage, and killing five of his men.
Barbara could palliate the offence; she could show how irresistible had been the temptation; she could prove how our love for Adrian had been unshaken by disastrous knowledge and urge that Doria's love should be unshaken likewise; she could apply all the healing remedies of which she only has the secret but she could not leave the poor soul to stumble blindly in uncertainty.
Thus, on seeing a possible glimpse of Giuseppe Doria's beautiful countenance reflected upon my eyes from the photograph of the mother of Michael Pendean, I began to marshal all my knowledge to confound any deduction from that accident. But judge of my interest and surprise when I found nothing that could be pointed to as absolute refutation of the theory now taking such swift shape in my mind.
These idyllic relations continued unruffled for some days, until a letter arrived from the eminent novelist to whom, with Doria's approval, Jaffery had sent the proofs. "A marvellous story," was the great man's verdict; "singularly different from 'The Diamond Gate, only resembling it in its largeness of conception and the perfection of its kind. The alteration of a single word would spoil it.
