Indeed, it is far too cold to go wandering about among statues in the moonlight." "And if in the dark, they will be all the more mysterieuz, do you not think?" said Mlle. Girond, eagerly. "And there will be surprises perhaps a laugh, perhaps a shriek if you run against some one." "Oh, no, I am not going to allow anything of that kind," said he.
Then she told Jane to go and get the inner room tidied; and when the maid had disappeared she turned to the young baritone. "Mr. Moore," said she, rather pointedly, "you are not very communicative." "In what way?" "I understand you are going to take Miss Ross and Miss Girond down to Richmond on Sunday; I don't see myself why you should conceal it."
Moore would be on the stage, or in the wings, to guide you as to your entrances and exits. That will be a proud night for me, my dear; for I'll be there oh, yes, I'll be there; and if I have any stage experience at all, I tell you it will be a splendid triumph with such a voice as yours and there won't be any more talk of keeping you as under-study to Miss Girond.
And since I have been the means of bringing the pair of turtle-doves together, I hope they're happy." "Ah, Leo, you do not understand," Nina said to him for Miss Girond was now talking to Mr. Carey, who had come up. "I don't understand what?" "You do not understand Miss Burgoyne," said Nina. "What don't I understand about her, then?" Nina shook her head. "Why should I say? You will not believe.
"I should want to see her as happy and contented as she used to be the Nina we used to know. I should want to get her back to the theatre, where she was succeeding so well. She liked her work; she was interested in it; and you know she was becoming quite a favorite with the public. Come, Miss Girond," he said, "you needn't be angry with me; that won't do any good.
Miss Girond did her best to amuse the good-looking boy whom she had been instrumental in rescuing from his solitary dinner in the coffee-room; but he did not respond as he ought to have done; from time to time he glanced wistfully towards the head of the table, where Miss Burgoyne was gayly chatting with Lord Denysfort.
"Oh, there's another of the foreign chimpanzees!" exclaimed Miss Burgoyne, in her fury; and she dashed into her room, and slammed the door behind her. Mlle. Girond stood staring at the door; then she turned to look at Nina; then she burst out laughing. "Quel ouragan, grand Dieu!" she cried. "Ma pauvre enfant, qu'allez vous faire maintenant?" She turned to the door and laughed again.
Girond had never been to Richmond, but she had heard of it; she knew all about the beautiful view and the terrace overlooking the river, and she was promising herself the romance and charm of a stroll in the moonlight.
"But why did no one stop her? why did no one remonstrate?" he asked, in a sort of stupefaction. "Who could, then?" said Mlle. Girond, returning to her seat and clasping her hands in front of her. "As soon as the housemaid appears in the morning, Nina asks her to come into the room; the money is put into an envelope for Mrs.
Poor Nina! she will suffer for she will not speak, no, not to any one." "But look here, Miss Girond," he exclaimed, "if she has gone back to her friends in Italy, that's all right; but if she is in this country, without any occupation, her money will soon be exhausted she can't have had so very much. What will become of her then?
