What would her uncle or Lord Tancred have thought, could they have seen those tempestuous eyes of Zara's glistening and tender and soft as a dove's!
Dove's going with her, since that good woman had been nurse to the little Belamour cousins now deceased, and was well known as an excellent and trustworthy person, so that, if she were going to act in the same capacity to my Lady's second family, Aurelia would have a friend at hand. So the Major cheated his grief by greeting the church-goers with the hilarious announcement "Here's great news!
"Answer me one question," he said, gently. "Is this sad story the result of any fault of yours? Are you in any way to blame for it?" "No; not in the least. Still, Lord Arleigh, although I do not share the fault, I share the disgrace nothing can avert that from me." "Nothing of the kind," he opposed; "disgrace and yourself are as incompatible as pitch and a dove's wing."
I never got your letter," he said, quite put out; and his wrath was so like a dove's that Helen smiled and said, "But I posted it myself. And my address was in it; yet it was not returned." "Well, madam, it was not delivered, I assure you. "It was intercepted, then." He looked at her. She blushed, and said: "Yes, I am getting suspicious, ever since I found I was followed and watched.
Dove's eyes opened to their widest, and his jaw dropt, so did his pipe, and the music ceased abruptly, while the faces of both men grew pale. "I'm not a ghost, boys," said Ruby, with a laugh, which afforded immense relief to his old comrades. "Come, have ye not a welcome for an old messmate who swims off to visit you on such a night as this?" Dove was the first to recover.
She seemed incapable of speaking. You would not have said she was frightened. You would have thought: "She has been slain." Harboro's lips were moving, but he seemed unable to speak immediately. It was Sylvia who broke the silence. "You shouldn't have tricked me, Harboro!" she said. Her voice had the mournful quality of a dove's. He seemed bewildered anew by that.
What have I done?" There was a short silence. "Can't you think of anything you've done?" asked the voice, insinuatingly. Bennington's conscience-stricken memory stirred. It did not seem so ridiculous, under the direct charm of the fresh young voice that came down through the summer air from above, like a dove's note from a treetop, to apologize to Lawton's girl.
She stroked the dove's satiny plumage gently and then drew back a little into shadow as she saw Robin Clifford step out from the porch into the garden and hurriedly interrupt the advance of a woman who just then pushed open the outer gate a slatternly- looking creature with dark dishevelled hair and a face which might have been handsome, but for its unmistakable impress of drink and dissipation.
Minnie herself, poor girl, felt that she ought not to run counter to the wishes of her best and dearest friends, so she too advised delay for a "little time"; and Ruby was fain to content himself with bewailing his hard lot internally, and knocking Jamie Dove's bellows, anvils, and sledge-hammers about in a way that induced that son of Vulcan to believe his assistant had gone mad!
