"Down to your cabin, ladies. You go with them, Jimmie. Lock yourselves in," I ordered. Evelyn's white lips tried to frame some words as she passed me. I understood what she wanted to say. "I'll be careful," I promised. "I have no weapon, sir," Billie Blue told me.
I came to see if I could help you." The look of fear in Evelyn's eyes deepened. She continued to regard Grace intently, as though trying to discover whether there could be any other motive for her visit. In spite of the effort she was making to be natural her face expressed absolute consternation. "It was nothing," she stammered, at last. "I am not feeling very well." Grace was not deceived.
Evelyn's fancy ball was a magnificent affair, and a complete success, as the word goes. She chose to call it my début party, but I never felt that it was so, or that I was more than any other guest. I would not have chosen a fancy dress for my first appearance, and she certainly was the queen of the occasion.
The account which she has given of the King's illness contains much excellent narrative and description, and will, we think, be as much valued by the historians of a future age as any equal portion of Pepys's or Evelyn's Diaries. That account shows also how affectionate and compassionate her nature was.
But to Evelyn's surprise, he seemed to doubt the immortality of this future state, and fell back on the Irish doctrine which holds that after death you pass to the great plain or land under the sea, or the land over the sea, or the land of the children of the goddess Dana. "Even now my destiny is accomplishing." The true Celt is still a pagan Christianity has been superimposed.
Constance Monfort, and on hearing, to his surprise and grief, apparently, that she was dead, had gone away again without requesting an interview with any other member of the family. Monfort, once Constance Glen now, as you tell me, no more. What children did she leave?" "One only a daughter," was Evelyn's reply.
For the space of a breathless second Laura connected him with the pink satin; then he dropped into a vacant seat at Evelyn's side. From this moment on, Laura's pleasure in her expensive seat, in the pretty blue theatre and its movable roof, in the gay trickeries of the MIKADO, slowly fizzled out. Evelyn had no more thought for her.
Death alone could sever us death alone furnished me a remedy for the deprivation of her love. In one of the large, gloomy apartments of the dilapidated palace we occupied, I sat alone as the twilight was gathering. My pistol case was on the table at my side. I rang the bell, and directed the servant who answered it to desire Evelyn's presence, and bring lights.
Alarmed, wearied, and disgusted, the schemer saw himself reduced to submission, for the present at least; and more than ever he felt the necessity of Evelyn's fortune to fall back upon, if the chance of the cards should rob him of his salary.
No one had suspected his attachment Ralph and Evelyn least of all but several years elapsed before he found time to visit them at Atherstone; and I think his fondness for Molly had its origin in his feeling for her mother. Even now it sometimes gave him a momentary pang to meet the adoration in Molly's eyes which, with their dark lashes, she had copied so exactly from Evelyn's.
