Her willingness to stay at home in the evening and take Miss Enid's place as official reader and amanuensis had placed her in high favor, and Madam, not to be outdone in magnanimity, had allowed her many privileges. Now that there seemed some ground for the hope that she might gain her grandmother's consent to the New York proposition, Eleanor realized how ardently she wanted it.
And just when I was going to speak to her she turned and disappeared into Enid's bedroom. And there are other ghosts " "One at a time, please," Henson said, grimly. "So Christiana's ghost passed into her sister's bedroom. You come and sit quietly in the library whilst I investigate matters." Margaret Henson complied in her dull, mechanical way, and Enid flew like a flash of light to her room.
And to Enid's searching gaze it seemed that his face was set into unfamiliar and anxious lines; but under his black cap and red hair, his skin looked colorless and drawn. But after the first glance, her eyes were not for him; with swift apprehension they passed to the six Arch-Mystics who, walking two and two, formed the procession.
By-and-by, when we have time to think of other things than money, when our wives have ceased to struggle for social success, when the reaction to a simpler and truer life comes and it is coming then the quality of such a play as Enid's Choice will give its author the fame and the living he deserves." The tears came to Douglass's eyes. "Good old Jim! He knows I need comfort this morning.
For a moment he did not realize the full significance of this. "What! Enid's Choice? Why, how can that be? I thought " "We had twelve hundred and eighty dollars at the Saturday matinée and eleven hundred at night. Of course part of this was due to the knowledge that it was the last day of the piece, but there is no doubt of its success." A choking came to his throat, his eyes grew dim.
Worn with his toil and exultant in his freedom, he went out into the street to see what the world was doing. Enid's Choice was still running. A slight gain at the end of the first week had enabled Helen to withhold her surrender to mammon.
Quin's desire for self-improvement soon became an obsession. With Miss Enid's assistance he got into a night course at the university, and proceeded to attack his ignorance with something of the fierce determination he had attacked the Hun the year before in France.
It was Enid's first visit, and the activity about her surprised her. Besides, the officers were extremely good-looking. Presently they approached a battery of artillery on the march, with their rumbling guns and grey ammunition wagons, raising a cloud of dust as they advanced.
Enid's organisation was peculiarly delicate and sensitive; her knowledge of the publicity given to the details of her father's death was torture to her. She was glad of the seclusion in which the General lived, because when she went into Whitminster, she would hear sometimes a rumor, a whispered word "Look that is the daughter of Sydney Vane who was murdered a few years ago!
But suddenly men started up from their seats in terror to see the corpse of Geraint rise from the hollow of the shield. Enid's cries had roused him from his swoon, and his hand as he raised himself felt the hilt of the sword beside him. He leaped from the litter, and, drawing his sword, he ran towards the earl, who by now had almost dragged Enid to the door.
