Louis returned the smile, and Arthur gave her a look of adoration, so tender, so bold, that she trembled. The next moment, when the broad space through which they were walking ended in a berry-patch, he plunged among the bushes with eagerness, to gather for her black raspberries in his drinking-cup. Her attempt to discuss her departure amiably had failed.
"What is that thing?" he asked contemptuously. "A specimen of the glass we tried," answered the young man. "I have blown it thin to show the colour." "A man who can have such execrable taste as to make a drinking-cup of coloured glass does not deserve to know as much as you do."
He deemed that the drinking-cup afforded the strongest proof of the magic art, far transcending human ability, of the great goddess by whose aid King Nektanebus who, according to tradition, was the father of Alexander the Great was said to have made the vessel in the Isis island of Philoe.
With this equipment she returned below-stairs. She drew on heavy woollen stockings and buckled on arctics. She entered the cold pantry and packed the knapsack with what supplies she could find at the hour. She did not forget a drinking-cup, a hunting-knife or matches. In her blouse she slipped a household flash-lamp.
The prospect of acquiring a gold torque or a silver drinking-cup would have a material influence over his imperial policy. Were we to believe the fabulous historians, Ireland was for centuries a compact kingdom under one imperial sovereign, who presided over subsidiary rulers in the provinces.
The cover came off easily enough, and on the inside was a curiously shaped telescope, not a drinking-cup, as I had at first surmised. "'Why, it's a telescope, isn't it? I said. "'Yes. What did you suppose it was? he asked. "'I hadn't an idea, I replied, not exactly truthfully.
"Leave that to me," he said, and passed the reins into Madame Marie's hands, then with muttered imprecations on persons unmentioned he lifted up the slight form of Havel, and carried him to the coach. Meanwhile Madelinette had stooped to a little stream at the side of the road, and filled her silver drinking-cup with water.
The corpse is then dressed in its best clothes and laid beside the fire, where are also placed dishes, a drinking-cup, and the implements of the chase. In the case of a woman, instead of these, her beads and other ornaments are laid alongside of her; for both sexes a pipe and a tobacco-box, so greatly used during life, are considered essentials when dead.
And be sure to carry your own drinking-cup, or, better still, make the one for which you already have the pattern, every time you need one. This sounds easy enough; and it is, too. But sometimes people don't know when they have this "plague," and of course they do not feel that they must be careful. What is to be done, then?
Again the old dragon returned, again he searched among his treasure-heap for the precious cup. Nowhere was it to be found. It was too surely gone. But the dragon, as well as loving gold, loved war. So now in angry mood he lay couched in his lair. Scarce could he wait until darkness fell, such was his wrath. With fire he was resolved to repay the loss of his dear drinking-cup.
