"That is the Scripture I know," Morris replied, "but you must remember that for one sin our Savior permitted a man to put away his wife, thus making it perfectly right." "But in Genevra's case the sin did not exist. She was as innocent as I am, and that must make a difference."
When they said he was dangerous, Marian Hazelton the "new nurse," sought and obtained permission to attend him, and again the eyes of the other occupants of the room were turned wonderingly toward her as she bent over the sick man, parting his matted hair, smoothing his tumbled pillow, and holding the cooling draught to the parched lips which muttered strange things in her ear, talking of Brighton, of Alnwick and Rome of the heather on the Scottish moors, and the daisies on Genevra's grave, where Katy once sat down.
Slowly, slowly the Duchess lifted stately head and looked on him: but now, behold! her glance was high and proud, her scarlet mouth firm-set like the white and dimpled chin below and her eyes swept him with look calm and most dispassionate. "Ah, my lord Beltane," she said, sweet-voiced, "what do you here within the privacy of Genevra's garden?"
One day I received a note requesting an interview at a downtown hotel, the writer signing himself as Thomas Lambert, and adding that I need have no fears as he came to perform an act of justice, not of retribution. Three hours later I was locked in a room with Genevra's father, the same man whom I had seen in Rome.
"I'll try, my dear," said Lady Agnes meekly. When they reached the garden, they found Deppingham smoking furiously and quite alone. Chase had left some time before, to give warning to the English bank that trouble might be expected. The shadow of disappointment that flitted across Genevra's face was not observed by the others.
"Cometh he there often, Giles?" "Why lord, he cometh and he goeth I saw him there this morning!" "What doeth he there?" "Nay, who shall say Genevra is wondrous fair, yet so is she that is Genevra's friend, so do I hope belike 'tis she " "Hold thy peace, Giles!"
At the idea of Genevra's being alive he scoffed; he knew better than that, and even if she were why need Katy have gone with it to Morris. Surely she should have had the discretion to keep something to herself. This was the purport of Wilford's letter to Katy, who when she had finished reading said, sorrowfully: "Wilford never loved me.
Deppingham's emotion was that of undisguised amazement; Genevra's that of confusion and embarrassment. She barely had recovered her lost composure when the newcomer was close upon them. There was nothing in the manner of Chase, however, to cause the slightest feeling of uneasiness. He was frankness itself.
Sometimes Wilford was sorry and sometimes he was not, for there was a world of pleasurable excitement connected with those months of secrecy, those private interviews, those stolen kisses, and little acts of endearment, which so intoxicated and bewildered him that the talking of them now brought something of the olden thrill he had experienced, when for a moment he held Genevra's hand in his or wound his arm around her waist, knowing he had a perfect right to do so.
"Then soon with my kisses will I seek " But a cool, soft hand schooled his hot lips to silence and the while he kissed those sweet arresting fingers, she spake 'twixt smiling lips: "Prithee where is my shoe that was Genevra's? Indeed, 'twas hard matter to slip it off for thee, Beltane, for Genevra's foot is something smaller than mine a very little!
