"Can I see your sister?" she said, in a half-whisper, and she did not raise her blue eyes to Eugene's face. Eugene looked past her. "I see her coming now across the field," he said; "she has seen you and will be here presently." Then he bade her enter, and made way for her, like a courtier for a princess, and seated her in the north parlor in the best rocking-chair, as if it were a throne.
Bring your wife and come to see us. We'll be delighted. I'll make a dinner date for you two." Eugene was greatly pleased and elated. He knew Angela would be. They had seen nothing of artistic life lately. He hurried down to see Benedict and was greeted as an old acquaintance. They had never been very chummy but always friendly. Benedict had heard of Eugene's nervous breakdown.
"But Eugene," said De Conti, earnestly, "remember that such degradation is only to be wiped out with blood, and that your cloth will not protect you from the consequences of so unpriestly an act." Eugene's eyes flashed fire. "Hear me," said he. "If my miserable garb could prevent me from vindicating my honor as a man, I would rend it into fragments, and cast it away as the livery of a coward.
The elector directed his gondoliers to approach that of the prince, and, springing from one boat to the other, he laid his hand on Eugene's shoulder. "Friend," said he, "I do not desire to force myself into your confidence; but lest I become your unconscious rival, answer me one question. Is that lady there, in the red-velvet dress, the object of your unhappy attachment?"
A cry of anger and of malediction was Eugene's answer; then with flaming eyes and cheeks burning with rage he rushed out, despite the supplications of his affrighted and anxious mother. Without pausing, without thinking conscious only of this, that he must have again his father's sword, he rushed on.
He was so calm, so refined, so professional. "I suppose we can only go by the circulation department," he replied simply, attracted by Eugene's sympathetic smile. "That's all! That's all!" exclaimed Colfax. "That is probably true," said Eugene, "but a good thing ought to be as easily circulated as a poor one. At least it's worth trying." Mr. Marchwood smiled.
He doesn't live so far from here," and with Eugene's consent he went to the phone. The latter had supposed that the conversation with Mr. Kalvin was something which would necessarily have to take place at some future date; but from the conversation then and there held over the phone it appeared not. Mr.
"Oh, Carlotta," called her mother again. The latter's first thought was to go back in the kitchen and look there, but on second thoughts she ascended the steps and started for the sewing room. Carlotta thought she had entered. In an instant she had seized the opportunity to step into the bath which was next to Eugene's room but she was scarcely quick enough.
You may not want to do that, but with what you know now you can get someone who will work under you quite well. That's the one satisfactory thing about it you really can get along without him if it comes right down to it now. With a good man in there, it can be handled from your office." It was about this time that the most ardent phase of Eugene's love affair with Suzanne began.
Here were all Eugene's things, his paintings, his canes, his pipes, his clothes. She cried over a handsome silk dressing gown in which he had been wont to lounge about it smacked so much, curiously, of older and happier days. There were hard, cold and determined conferences also in which some of Angela's old fighting, ruling spirit would come back, but not for long.
