Ever since that unlucky penny-club-day, when she had declared that she hated poor people, she had been let alone on that subject; and though principle had made her use her needle in their behalf, shyness and reserve had kept her back from all intercourse with them; but in her wish to compensate for Genevieve's absence, she volunteered to take charge of her vacant Sunday-school class, and obtained leave to have the girls at home on the afternoons for an hour and a half.
Judith who loved coffee needed no second bidding, and was soon enjoying a steaming cup and listening to Genevieve's woes; but Genevieve was scarcely well started on the subject of the letters when a heavy step was heard in the corridor and she jumped up in alarm. "Throw the coffee out the window, Judy," she begged "that's Miss Watson doing laundry she's in Joan's room now."
I went back to the studio, and resumed my work. It was a Renaissance screen, which Boris wanted me to paint for Genevieve's boudoir. But the small boy who was unwillingly dawdling through a series of poses for it, to-day refused all bribes to be good. He never rested an instant in the same position, and inside of five minutes I had as many different outlines of the little beggar.
She teaches drawing and sometimes keeps study hour, and she is as sweet as she can be," Belle concluded, with enthusiasm. The name brought to mind one of Rosalind's greatest puzzles, the hillside, the young lady who looked as if she might be as Belle described her sweet; the strange incident of the rose, and Aunt Genevieve's words, "We have nothing to do with the Fairs."
He was a very old man and he was ill. His voice sank to an inaudible murmur: "'The Blood ... shed for thee, preserve ... life. Drink this ..." Blake waited, tense and rigid, as one about to meet the shock of a deadly attack. The bishop drew the chalice back from Genevieve's lips in his trembling hands, and paused for Blake to reach out and take it. Blake did not move. The bishop bent farther over.
Genevieve's voice assumed a note of command her mild accents had never before known. Alys' brilliant eyes snapped. "I have no desire," she said firmly, with all the dignity of an affronted lady, "to go into this matter." "I know you haven't. But I'm going to walk through. I am making a report for the Woman's Forum." Alys' face crimsoned with anger.
Vostrand was opposed to him from the beginning, and as soon as he heard of the sixty thousand francs, he utterly refused. He called it buying a son-in-law, but I don't see why he need have looked at it in that light. However, it was broken off, and we left Florence more for poor Gigi's sake than for Genevieve's, I must say. He was quite heart-broken; I pitied him."
"You leave me free to act?" "Absolutely." "Till to-morrow," said Maurice pressing his hands. The Duke remained alone on the terrace. He saw the young man go rapidly towards the lake. He heard him hail the girls and saw him climb into the boat with them, then disappear after he had waved with Genevieve's handkerchief a signal of adieu.
Unfortunately, Count Claudieuse could not all the time be the hero he had been at first. He saw Genevieve de Tassar. He was struck with her beauty; and overcome by a sudden passion forgetting that she was twenty, while he was nearly fifty he made his friend aware that he was still willing to render him all the services in his power, but that he desired to obtain Genevieve's hand in return.
But then the communicants began to leave their pews and drift forward into the chancel. At the touch of Genevieve's hand upon his arm he started more sharply than before. "Tom, you really are ill!" she insisted. "No," he mumbled, "I guess I Wait, though. I've forgotten. Does he mean we're supposed to take it as real flesh and blood?" "Only the Romanists hold to that. We take it symbolically."
