It pleased the stranger for a moment to trace a resemblance between the fallen fortunes of the Stuart Prince and his own fallen fortunes, as dethroned Dictator of the South American Republic of Gloria. 'London is my St. Germain's, he said to himself with a laugh, and he drummed the national hymn of Gloria upon the balcony-rail with his fingers.
"It's time we had a little talk," said Brodie out of a short silence. "Without anybody's skirt listening in. Leave her back there, further from the front door, Jarrold. Where she can't get an earful, and where she can't make a getaway; you come on over here a minute." Gloria made no resistance but sank down limply where Jarrold left her and watched him as he slouched over to the fire.
A few minutes later Gloria came in seeming to bring with her into the room some dark color, indeterminate and rare. In a taciturn way she was happy to see Muriel. She greeted Anthony with a casual "Hi!" "I've been talking philosophy with your husband," cried the irrepressible Miss Kane.
Spiritus Domini replevit orbem terrarum.... The Spirit of the Lord hath fulfilled all things, alleluia: and that which contains all things hath knowledge of the voice, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. "Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered; and let them who hate Him flee before His face." Gloria Patri....
Gloria alone seemed able to induce him, for her especial amusement, to break a silver dollar with his fingers, or tear a pack of cards, and then only in the presence of her father or Reanda, but never before other people. "You are the strongest man in the world, are you not?" she asked him once. "Yes," he answered. "I probably am, if it is I. I am vain of it, but not proud of it.
A few scholars of the past, like him who, writing to the close of his mortal day, sang himself to his immortal rest with the 'Gloria in excelsis, a few scholars might foresee, even as that Baeda did, that their living actual work was but the beginning of their triumphant course through the ages, the momentum.
The man across from us said her face ought to be on a night-nurse in a home for the blind, and we all howled, naturally, so the man tried to pick us up." Presently Gloria emerged from her bedroom and in unison every eye turned on her. The two girls receded into a shadowy background, unperceived, unmissed. "We've been talking about you," said Dick quickly, " your mother and I."
She went in unceremoniously; it was one of her favorite visiting-places. Mr. McAndrew looked up and gravely bowed. "Take a seat, madam, and I will be at liberty in a few moments," he began politely. But "Madam's" small, white hand, placed over his lips, interrupted. "You are at liberty now this minute, Uncle Em!" said Gloria.
"I'm awful sorry for you, 'cause you were sweet an' nice to me before this happened. You can't help it, of course; but it's a dreadful thing, jus' the same." "My heart is frozen to all mortal loves," announced Gloria, calmly. "I do not love even myself." "That's too bad," said Trot, "for, if you can't love anybody, you can't expect anybody to love you." "I do!" cried Pon.
Our left flank rested on the brawling Jihun River that wound in and out between the rice fields and the rocky foot-hills. There lay the weakness of our position, and more than once I caught sight of Kagig spurring his horse from cover to cover to place his men. Once I thought I recognized Fred, too, over near the river-bank; but of Will or of Gloria I saw nothing.
