"I see," I replied, "that Eivé is the source of your trouble, but not what the trouble is. For her sake, do not force me to extort the truth from her." "I doubt whether she has guessed my misgiving," Eveena answered. "It may be that you are right that it is because she was so long the only one you were fond of, that I cannot like and trust her as you do.
Eveena's momentary glance at once drew mine upon this "pet child," but neither disturbed her. Nor did she overact her part. "Eivé," said Enva one day, "never salts her tears or paints her blushes." As soon as she caught my look of doubt "Have I done wrong?" she said, in a tone half of confidence, half of reproach. "Punish me, then, Clasfempta, as you please with Eveena's sandal."
Eivé alone, on this as on other occasions, availed herself thoroughly of those privileges of childhood which I had always extended to her. So quick are the proceedings and so excellent the arrangements of Martial commerce, even where ladies are concerned, that a couple of hours saw us on our way homeward, after having passed through the apartments of half the merchants in Altasfe.
"But the first time you took me out, I heard the superintendent say some strange things; and then he checked himself when he found your companion was not Eveena. Then Eivé I mean you use expressions sometimes in talking to Eveena that we never heard before. I think there is some secret between you." "And if there be, Eunané, were you going to betray it to set Enva and Leenoo on to find it out?"
Passing Eivé as I turned towards Eveena's room, and fevered with intense thirst, I bade her bring me thither a cup of the carcarâ. I need not dwell on the terribly painful moments in which I bound round Eveena's arm a bracelet prized above all the choicest ornaments she possessed. To calm her agitation and my own by means of the charny, I sought the keys.
Eivé crept close to claim some silent atonement for unspoken suspicion, and a few minutes had elapsed before, to the evident alarm of several conscious culprits, I sought Eveena in her own chamber. In spite of all deprecation, I insisted on the explanation she had evaded in public.
Understanding at last that she was safe from the law, the expression of her gratitude was as vehement as her terror had been intense. But the new phase of passion was not the less repugnant. Not that there was anything strange in the violent revulsion of feeling. Born and trained among a race who fear to forgive, Eivé was familiar by report at least with the merciless vengeance of cowards.
Umbrage of The Silchester Mirror, in Mr. J. M. Barrie's novel, When a Man's Single: "'What is the use of you? he asked indignantly, 'if you can't do a simple thing like that? "'Say "cheat," suggested Umbrage. "So Kirker wrote 'cheat." I think, however, that women have at last learnt to spell words ending in ieve and eive.
You would take my word implicitly; you would have made up your mind before you heard her; you would deal harder measure to Eivé than to any one, because she is your pet; you would think for once not of sparing the culprit, but of satisfying me; and afterwards" She paused, and I saw that she would not conclude in words a sentence I could perhaps have finished for myself.
Indiscreetly, because somewhat provoked by these repeated sacrifices, as much of my inclination as her own, I mentioned my purpose at our evening meal, and bade her name those who should accompany me. I was a little surprised when, carefully evading the dictation to which she was invited, she suggested that Eunané and Eivé would probably most enjoy the opportunity.
