A fearful cry followed the word. I paused a moment, and looking in, saw him supporting her insensible figure in his arms. He gazed for a few seconds in the face; then stooped to kiss it oh, how tenderly! and drew a handkerchief before it. 'Mas'r Davy, he said, in a low tremulous voice, when it was covered, 'I thank my Heav'nly Father as my dream's come true!
"However, sir," cries the serjeant, "it is in your honour's power to prevent any possibility of this dream's coming to pass, by not leaving my lady to the care of the colonel; if you must go from her, certainly there are other places where she may be with great safety; and, since my wife tells me that my lady is so very unwilling, whatever reasons she may have, I hope your honour will oblige her."
How happy, winged by courage daring, The youth life's mazy path first pressed No care his manly strength impairing, And in his dream's sweet vision blest! The dimmest star in air's dominion Seemed not too distant for his flight; His young and ever-eager pinion Soared far beyond all mortal sight. Thus joyously toward heaven ascending, Was aught for his bright hopes too far?
"Well, Larry, little fellow, the dream's come true; and here we are, you and I, you, Larry, and I, Lawrence, with the 'wish grown strong to an endeavor, and the endeavor to an achievement. Are you glad, Boy?" "'One, two, three! The humble-bee! The rooster crows, And away she goes!"
But Saladin looked at her very sternly and answered: "Princess, you know why I have brought you to the East and raised you to great honour here, why also I have made you my companion in these wars. It is for my dream's sake, the dream which told me that by some noble act of yours you should save the lives of thousands.
Travel, which had once charmed him, seemed at length, unendurable, a business of color without substance, a phantom chase after his own dream's shadow. If I am essentially weak, he thought, I need work to do, work to do. It worried him to think that he was, after all, a facile mediocrity, with neither the poise of Maury nor the enthusiasm of Dick.
"I dream of love!" she repeated softly, while he, smoking tranquilly, and looking the very image of a tailor's model in his faultlessly cut dress suit, spotless shirt front, and aggressively neat white tie, studied her face, her figure and her attitude with amused interest "But my dream is not what the world offers me as the dream's realisation!
He stood looking at her, but she turned her head away with a petulant gesture of repulsion; and lest her eyes might feel the call of his she covered them with her hands. Her hopelessness, her loathing of him enclosed her like a wall of ice. "So! The dream's over!" he said. "'This woman to this man'! What a farce what a tragedy!"
His more recent duty had been to fulfil his obligations to his half-breed wife, especially now that she was about to bear him a child; he had forsaken her for his old dream's sake and for the sake of a revenge which he had persuaded himself was noble. Reviewing these facts, he promised himself that, if ever he were given again the power of choice, he would return to Murder Point and live for her.
But when I looked into the mirror, I shrieked, and my heart throbbed: for not myself did I see therein, but a devil's grimace and derision. Verily, all too well do I understand the dream's portent and monition: my DOCTRINE is in danger; tares want to be called wheat!
