Bumpo sank fainting to the floor. The famous Pike chieftain never recovered from the deceit, and refused to marry Genevra, who died, twenty years afterwards, of a broken heart. Judge Tompkins lost his fortune in Wild Cat. The stage passes twice a week the deserted cottage at Donner Lake. Thus was the death of Muck-a-Muck avenged.
Peerlessly beautiful, she was dressed in a white moire antique robe trimmed with tulle. That simple rosebud with which most heroines exclusively decorate their hair, was all she wore in her raven locks. The Judge was the first to break the silence. "Genevra, the logs which compose yonder fire seem to have been incautiously chosen.
He recalled several of Miss Pelham's socialistic remarks concerning the privileges of the "upper ten," the intolerance of caste and the snobbish morality which attaches folly to none but the girl who "works for a living." Immediately after tiffin, Genevra carried Lady Deppingham off to her room.
Genevra recognised the futility of imposing her sympathies in the face of this significant reserve. Drusilla made one remark, half unconsciously, no doubt, that rasped in the ears of the Princess for days. It was the cold, bitter, resigned epitome of the young wife's thoughts. "Robert has loved her for months." That was all. Mr. and Mrs.
Of course he did not look at it as Katy did, for he knew that according to all civil law she was as really Wilford's wife as if no other had existed, and he told her so, but Katy shook her head: "He can't have two wives living, and I tell you I knew the picture Genevra is not dead. I have seen her; I have talked with her Genevra is not dead."
He had reserved the bitterest drop for the last, and coming close to her he said: "And who think you the woman is this Genevra, Wilford's and your divorced wife? You were too proud to acknowledge an apothecary's daughter! See if you like better a dressmaker, a nurse to Katy's baby, Marian Hazelton!" He whispered the last name, and with a shriek the lady fainted. Mr.
He groaned with pain as the two beside him lifted him to a sitting posture. "Tell Selim to come ahead," he gasped, his bloody hand at his throat. "We're all right!" Then, for the first time, Genevra peered in the darkness at the figure beside her. She stared in amazement as it sprang lightly erect and glided across to the patch of light.
With a shiver Katy held it a moment in her lap, noticing how old and worn it looked noticing, too, the foreign mark upon it, and that one hinge was broken, wondering if all this wear had come from frequent use. Had Wilford looked often at that picture? and if so, what were his feelings as he looked? Was he sorry that Genevra died?
Baby is dead, and Wilford oh, Helen, I sometimes wish I had not heard of Genevra, for I am afraid it can never be with us as it was once; that is, I have not quite the same trust in him, and he seems so changed. Have you noticed how silent and moody he has grown?"
Then, she was not his wife, and the fear that she would not be if he told her all had kept him silent, but now she was his alone; nothing could undo that, and there, in the shadow of the gray old church through whose aisles Genevra had been borne out to where the rude headstone was gleaming in the English sunlight, it seemed meet that he should tell her sad story.
