The man proved at first to be exceedingly surly, suspicious, and taciturn, but Lance Evelin was a man of consummate tact, and his manner was at once so refined and so genial that there were very few who could for any length of time withstand its fascinating influence.
"I wonder why she is so determined to make friends with Rosamund," blurted out Dion abruptly. "You think she is determined?" said Bruce Evelin quietly. "Yes. Telling you had made me feel that quite plainly." "Anyhow, she'll be gone back to Constantinople in April, and then your little difficulty will come to an end automatically." Dion looked rather hard at Bruce Evelin.
She was charming in a full black velvet gown, trimmed with heavy white lace, and her hair was crowned by a cap of pearls. Angela, in dark green, was no less lovely as Nerissa. Evelin made a dignified Antonio, and Dot Mead a jaunty Gratiano. Helen played the double role of Salarino and the Moor, while Dorothy Lansing took The Prince of Arragon and the Gaoler.
"Price fine fellow that he is managed that for us by putting us in irons several sizes too large for us. Now, Evelin, are you ready! I fancy I hear footsteps running this way." "All ready!" said Lance. "Then, off we go!" exclaimed Bob. "This way, gentlemen sharp round to the right for a couple of hundred yards, and then straight for the landing.
"Dear little chap!" said Bruce Evelin, with a very great tenderness in his voice. "Dion, we shall have to concentrate on Robin." Dion looked at him with inquiry. "Poor Beattie, I don't think she'll have a child." "Beattie! Not ever?" "I'm afraid not." Dion was shocked and startled. "But I haven't heard a word " he began. "No. Both Beattie and Guy feel it terribly.
Third, and last, Farleigh & Halford have sent to the office, and secured a berth for her in the next ship that sails date the day after to-morrow. Done in half a minute. Now, Lady Howel!" "I will begin and end in half a minute too," she said, "if I can. First," she continued, turning to her husband, "I found Mrs. Evelin at your friend's house.
The ladies were busying themselves about various domestic tasks, and little May was amusing herself with an uncouth wooden doll which Bob had constructed for her. Lance was a prime favourite with May, so the moment that he entered the doll was flung into a corner, and the child came bounding up to him joyously exclaiming "Oh, you funny Mr Evelin, how is it that you have not gone with my papa?
As Daventry had described her, as Bruce Evelin had, with casual allusions and suggestive hints, built her up before Dion in the talk after dinner that night, so she was now in the little room: a woman of intellect and of great taste, with an intense love for, and fine knowledge of, beautiful things: a woman who was almost a sensualist in her adoration for fine and rare things.
One day Dion went to Great Cumberland Place and told Bruce Evelin all the facts, exactly what Mrs. Clarke had said and done, exactly what Rosamund had said and done. As he spoke it seemed to him that he was describing a sort of contest, shadowy, perhaps, withdrawn and full of reserves, yet definite. "What do you think of it?" he said, when he had told the comparatively little there was to tell.
Do you think, Evelin, the pirates have any knowledge of the existence of this cave of yours?" "I am pretty certain they have not," was the reply.
