"Oh, madam!" cried Leander, "then let me be a spirit; I am going to travel, and should prefer it above all those other advantages you have so generously offered me." Gentilla thereupon stroking his face three times, "Be a spirit," said she; and then, embracing him, she gave him a little red cap with a plume of feathers.
"However, if it won't take long, I don't mind obliging you." He followed her into the library, and took his seat at the writing table. "Who is the letter to?" he demanded, taking up a pen in a hurry. "To Mr. Jarwin. I want him to find out where Gentilla Stanley is. It's only a formal letter, so write it and sign it on my behalf."
Silver was so amazed that he forgot his fright. "What? Is Gentilla Stanley related to Pine?" "She's his grandmother, it seems. One of my servants was at the camp to-day and found the gypsies greatly excited over the old cat's windfall." "Whew!" Silver whistled and drew a deep breath. "If I'd known that, I'd have got round the old woman. But it's too late now since all the fat is on the fire. Mr.
He asked himself this question and finally put it to the old woman, who watched him with bright, twinkling eyes. "She's gone for mischief," answered Gentilla, nodding positively. "For mischief's as natural to her as cheating is to a Romany chal. But I'm a dealer of cards myself, rye, and I deal myself the best hand."
Her habit was of purple satin, embroidered with pearls and diamonds; she advanced toward him with a gracious smile. "Young prince," said she, "you find no longer your pet snake, but me, the fairy Gentilla, ready to requite your generosity.
"Some Gentiles ain't so anxious to save the legs of old ones," remarked Gentilla Stanley cheerfully. "But I always did say as you were a golden one for kindness of heart. Well, them as does what's unexpected gets what they don't hope for." "I have got my heart's desire, Mother," said Lambert, sitting down and lighting his pipe. "I am happy now."
But it was amazing that Gentilla should know this, and Miss Greeby wonderingly asked her how she came by such knowledge. The respectable widow chuckled. "I have witchly ways, ma'am, and the golden rye has talked many a time to me in my tent, when I told him of the Gorgious lady's goodness to me when ill. They love aye, that is sure but the money divides their hearts, and that is foolish.
Ever since you left Lundra the child has set him and others to spy on you. She makes mischief, does the child in her witchly way." "Ask him," said Agnes, indicating the dwarf, "if he knows who murdered my late husband?" Gentilla asked the question and translated the reply. "He knows nothing, but the child knows much.
Agnes saw them through the sitting-room window, and walked out boldly to confront them. Noel was absent at the moment, so she had to conduct the examination entirely alone. "Gentilla, why are you spying on me and my husband?" asked Agnes abruptly. The respectable woman dropped a curtsey and clutched the shoulder of Kara, who showed a disposition to run away.
Her habit was of purple satin, embroidered with pearls and diamonds; and advancing towards him with a gracious smile "Young prince," said she, "you find no longer your pet snake, but me, the Fairy Gentilla, ready to requite your generosity.
