Oh, Aurora, Aurora, with that dissatisfied face where is your beauty? with that discontented mind where is your happiness? "Your charm is not working perfectly, Sister," observed Euphrosyne to Ianthe. "Her's is not the age for perfect happiness and enjoyment as a beauty, remember," replied Ianthe, "and she feels this herself." "Man never is but always to be blest," cried Ambrosia laughing.
The mulattoes hated both the whites and the blacks; and " "And," interposed Euphrosyne, courageously, "the blacks hated neither. They loved where they could; and where they could not love, they forgave; and there lies the proof that this island is not hell." "You have proved nothing, my dear, but that you do not know what has happened, even since you were born.
"It will be needless, my dear. If there be any truth in the matter, Monsieur Pascal, doubtless, knows more than Madame Oge." "In that case there can be no harm in mentioning it." Still the abbess thought it would be safer to say nothing about it; and Euphrosyne gave up the point for to-night, remembering that she could perhaps send a private despatch afterwards by the hands of Pierre.
"Then," said Hawke, alluringly, "we must be very good friends, you and I, for we are alone together, among strangers, in this far-away land!" Then he calmly dropped into an easy discourse, in which Geneva and Sister Euphrosyne punctuated the graceful flow of his friendly chat. There was nothing very sinful in the debut of this little intrigue.
They dwelt on the surprise and pleasure it would be to the Ouvertures to find the Pascals in France before them. Euphrosyne had also the satisfaction of doing something, however indirectly, for her unfortunate friends; and she really enjoyed the occupation, to her so familiar, and still so dear, of ministering to the comfort of an old man, who had no present dependence but on her.
The worship of men in those old times was symbolised by dances in the evening, banquets, libations, and mirth-making. 'Euphrosyne' was alike the goddess of the righteous mind and of the merry heart.
"Euphrosyne thinks, father," reported the abbess, "that these negroes, in consideration of their ignorance, and of their anger at having once been slaves, should be excused for whatever they may do now, in revenge." "I am surprised," said Father Gabriel. So was Euphrosyne when she heard her argument thus stated.
After the death of his first wife, the emperor, at the request of the senate, drew from her monastery Euphrosyne, the daughter of Constantine the Sixth. Her august birth might justify a stipulation in the marriage-contract, that her children should equally share the empire with their elder brother.
But it was kept to herself; her sorrowful good-byes were said in secret; before others, in all those weeks she was a very Euphrosyne; light, bright, cheerful, of eye and foot and hand; a shield between her aunt and every annoyance that she could take instead; a good little fairy, that sent her sunbeam wand, quick as a flash, where any eye rested gloomily.
"You are the guest of Monsieur Raymond while Afra is here. When she sets out, we will go home." "And shall I have to be swung up to the balcony, and have my brains dashed out, while all the nuns are staring at me?" "Oh, no," replied Euphrosyne, laughing. "There will be nothing then to prevent your going in your own carriage to your own door.
