And one strict confidence leading to another, before very long Miss Gregg had captured that part of Elise's secret that related to Mr. Waddington. It was through Miss Gregg's subsequent activities that it first became known in Wyck that Mrs. Levitt had referred to Mr. Waddington as "that horrible old man." This might have been very damaging to Mr.
She was so happy, that in her selfishness she did not perceived his troubled and care-worn looks. "Oh" said she, kissing his hand, "I am so happy at last to find you alone at home. Several times have I sought you here." "With letters for me?" asked he, hurriedly, for he had not observed Elise's excited countenance.
Jacobi laughed too, kissed Elise's hand, and then hastened to mingle in the group of young people, who assembled themselves round the tea-table to see and to pass judgment on an extraordinary kind of tea-bread wherewith Louise would welcome her bridegroom, and which, according to her opinion, besides the freshest freshness, was possessed of many wonderful qualities.
She hung our habiliments on pegs, giving Elise's a little womanly caress for their prettiness. She brought in exchange a costume which made us helpless from laughter, until we were painfully sobered by the thought of the spectators outside. A pair of white duck trousers that might have been made of pasteboard, so stiff were they and so defined the crease ironed at their sides, came first.
"Go to your husband, countess," cried she, and her voice was hoarse and cold. Lodoiska's eyes filled with tears. Once more she attempted to take Elise's hand, but the latter firmly crossed her arms and looked at her almost threateningly. "Go!" said she, in a loud, commanding voice. Bertram took the arm of the countess and drew her to the door. "Hasten!" said he; "there is no time to lose."
He is again reminded of Marion, but by nothing he hears or sees: poor Marion has her not small reputation as a singer in A , yet her voice, compared with this, is as wire gold wire indeed wire with a color of richness at least; while Elise's is as honey itself honey with the flavor of the sweetest flowers in it, and, too, the suggestion of the bee's swift, strong wing.
It had been a small brooch, worn on the bosom of many a proud MacIntyre dame, but never had it evoked such interest as when, set in a ring, it was displayed on Elise's little finger. After that there was a general demand for a jeweller's catalogue which appeared in their midst about that time. One page was devoted to illustrations of such stones with a rhyme for each month.
I am sure that Elise will not mind receiving such a very old friend as I am up in her room." Although the lady in black clung to her, shaking hysterically with repressed laughter, behind her crape-bordered veil, it was not till they had passed the footman, climbed the stairs and paused at Elise's door that Mary was sure of the identity of her guest.
"What are you to him, pale-face?" she said, her eyes peering into the pot. "Nothing more to him than you are, madame," the girl answered wearily. "I'll cure because I want, not because you ask me, pretty brat." Elise's heart gave a leap: these very herbs were for Valmond! The old woman had travelled far to get the medicaments immediately she had heard of Valmond's illness.
She was well prepared for what would follow. She now stepped behind the child, wound its beautiful blonde tresses round her left hand, and with her right grasped the handle of the knife convulsively. "Oh, God, my God!" cried Elise's bell-like voice.
