For on the father's side, the Markrute brother and sister were of very noble lineage; even with his bar sinister the financier could not brook the disgrace of Elinka. He had loved her so the one soft side of his adamantine character. Her disgrace, it seemed, had frozen all the tenderness in his nature.
There seemed no improvement in the relations of the pair, in spite of Zara having had ample cause to feel jealous about Lady Highford since their arrival. Elinka, too, had had strange and unreasonable turns in her nature, that is what had made her so attractive. What if Zara and this really fine young Englishman, with whom he had mated her, should never get on?
For all her personal downfall, Elinka, Markrute's sister, and an emperor's daughter, remained an absolute grande dame never mixing or mingling with any people but her own belongings. But now that she was dead, poor Mimo had sometimes gone for company into a class other than his own. As yet Zara's thoughts had not turned upon her new existence which was to be.
You are enough to drive any man mad: you shall be a pawn in my game for the winning of my lady and gain happiness for yourself, so in the end, Elinka, if she is able to see from where she has gone, will not say I have been cruel to you."
All the sense of it that came to her brain was Tristram's firm utterance, "I, Tristram Lorrimer Guiscard, take thee, Zara Elinka, to be my wedded wife." And so, at last, the ceremony was over, and Lord and Lady Tancred walked into the vestry to sign their names.
