"But they maintain that it is founded on the Bible." "True; and that is wherein it is most harmful. It is the false teaching calculated to 'deceive the very elect. Emelie, it irritates me to talk about it; let us drop it, please," and with a frowning brow the man arose and restlessly paced the floor.
"I see, Emelie, you feel that is a way of begging the question to secure release from a doubtful position," the man returned, sadly. "Well" with a sigh "I am forced to admit that none of our remedies are infallible.
You are seeing that as well as I," and the mother's voice broke with sudden anguish. "Oh, if you are losing faith I shall know there is no hope." "Don't, Emelie," pleaded her brother; "I really am hoping much from this change " "Ah! that is equivalent to saying that you have exhausted your methods that our only hope now is in a salubrious atmosphere, etc.
Clara heard us, and came in "to the rescue," she said, "for it sounded as if somebody was getting a scolding." I repeated my story, and although she rarely used French expressions, this time she clasped her little hands together, sank into a chair, and said: "Oh! Emélie, j'ai su depuis longtemps, qu'il nous ferait un grand tort. Le pauvre agneau! Le pauvre agneau!" "What will father do?"
Judge Frank, who would have been as cold and proud as possible, if he had been assailed by coarse and direct flattery, was yet by no means steeled against the refined and almost imperceptible flattery of Emelie, who, with all her peculiar gifts of soul and understanding, made herself subordinate to him, in order to be enlightened and instructed by him.
It was Donna Emelie de Castro, at whose house she had joined the world; but her emotion, supposed natural to the agitating ceremony impending, and her father's precarious health, happily for her, passed without further notice than sympathy and love. Henriquez, for once, was indifferent alike to the agitation of Marie, or the presence of Ferdinand.
He doesn't know he has any feet; he is all eyes and heart! You know what I mean, dear," his companion pursued. "I've seen you watching them with that quizzical look in your eyes. What would you think of it as a a match?" "Emelie! a matchmaker! thou!" ejaculated her husband, in a tone of mock dismay, though his lips twitched with amusement.
"Because," answered Emelie, "the illusion of life is extinguished on the other side of this golden moment, and reality steps forward then in all its heaviness and nakedness. Look at a young couple in the glowing morning of their union, how warm love is then; how it penetrates and beautifies everything; how it glows and speaks in glance and word, and agreeable action; how its glory changes the whole of life into poetry! 'Thou, thou! is the one thought of the young people then. But observe the same couple a few years later 'I, I! and 'my pleasure, is the phrase now. The adoring all-resigning lover is then become the exacting married man, who will be waited on and obeyed. And the loving all-sacrificing bride, she is become the unwieldy and care-burdened housewife, who talks of nothing but trouble, bad saltings, and negligent maid-servants. And what are tête-
"He was, all this evening, very much occupied with Emelie. I felt unwell and weak; I longed so to support myself on his arm; but he did not come near me the whole time: perhaps he imagined I was out of humour perhaps I looked so. Ah! I returned home before supper, and he remained.
"There is an S O S coming in right now for a lemonade," said she, fanning herself with her filmy handkerchief. "Who will join me?" A chorus of "I!" "I!" greeted the question. She touched a bell. "Bring lemonade for six, Emelie," said she. "Put in some slices of orange, some strawberries, and plenty of cracked ice. What a warm day it is!
