I laid my hand on Evadne's shoulder, and she looked up. "Ah! have you come?" she cried, her voice broken with sobs that shook her. "Is it really true? Can nothing be done? Oh, poor, poor man! What a life! What a death! A miserable, miserable, misspent life, and such an end in a moment without a word of warning and all these years when I have been beside him, silent and helpless.
You owe it to your position in society, and the church, to keep above the waves." The listening spirits heard a low, malicious laugh of triumph and the white-robed angel turned sadly away. Judge Hildreth had thrust Evadne's letter, with his own, far under the pile of papers, and double-locked the drawer!
"True," said Louis gravely, "but that is an argument which will bear future consideration." "Oh, Louis," and Evadne's voice was choked with tears, "the time may come when you would give the whole world to be able to please your father!" "But, Evadne," said Louis gently, "a man must have freedom of choice in his vocation.
Frayling's disposition at the moment, and he went down to look for his wife while he was still effervescing. How did Evadne get them? he wanted to know. Mrs. Frayling could not conceive. She had forgotten all about Evadne's discovery of the box of books in the attic, and the sort of general consent she had given when Evadne worried her for permission to read them.
He made her warm offers of service; she was too much occupied by more engrossing thoughts, either to accept or reject them; at length he left her, making a promise to repeat his visit the next day. He returned home, full of mingled feelings, of pain excited by Evadne's wretchedness, and pleasure at the prospect of relieving it.
During the first days of our acquaintance Evadne's attitude, whatever happened, surprised me. I could anticipate her action up to a certain point, but just the precise thing she would do was the last thing I had expected; I knew her feeling, in fact, but I was ignorant of the material it had to work upon, and by means of which it found expression.
The crown of rejoicing was hers at last! "There is only one thing wanting between you two." Louis looked wistfully at John Randolph and Evadne, as they stood beside him, talking brightly of how he should help when he grew strong. "And what is that?" Doctor Randolph asked the question with a smile. Louis drew his ring from Evadne's finger and laid her hand in that of his friend.
When I am on the platform or otherwise engaged in Unwomanly pursuits outside the Sphere, I have to be more considerate." Some more chairs were brought out, one of which Diavolo placed beside me. "This is for you," he said to Evadne; "I know you like to be near the Don." Evadne flushed crimson. "Did you ever hear that story?" Angelica asked me. Evadne's embarrassment visibly increased.
Attended only by my servant, I dug a deep grave for her at the foot of the tree, and without disturbing her warrior shroud, I placed her in it, heaping stones upon the grave. The dazzling sun and glare of daylight, deprived the scene of solemnity; from Evadne's low tomb, I joined Raymond and his staff, now on their way to the Golden City.
It was during their first visit to Fraylingay, while they were still quite tiny, and she was hardly in her teens, that the event referred to in illustration of one of Evadne's characteristics occurred. The twins had arrived late in the afternoon, and were taken into the dining room, where the table was already decorated for dinner.
