But happiness is the last state of being, and as yet thou art on the threshold of the first!" As Mejnour spoke, the distant vessel spread its sails to the wind, and moved slowly along the deep. Glyndon sighed, and the pupil and the master retraced their steps towards the city.
Phantoms float before me at night, and a fluttering like the wing of a bird within my heart seems as if the spirit were terrified, and would break its cage." While murmuring these incoherent rhapsodies, a step that she did not hear approached the actress, and a light hand touched her arm. "Isabella! carissima! Isabella!" She turned, and saw Glyndon.
Mascari muttered some inaudible words, bowed low, and led the way to the chamber in which Isabel was confined. It wanted several minutes of midnight, and Glyndon repaired to the appointed spot.
Besides, this stranger, with his grand features and lofty air, so calm, so unobtrusive, has nothing in common with the forward garrulity of an impostor." "My dear Glyndon, pardon me, but you have not yet acquired any knowledge of the world; the stranger makes the best of a fine person, and his grand air is but a trick of the trade. But to change the subject: how gets on the love affair?" "Oh!
When the last rose from the corpse and withdrew from that scene of confusion, Glyndon remarked that in passing the crowd he touched Mascari on the shoulder, and said something which the Englishman did not overhear. Glyndon followed Zicci into the banquet-room, which, save where the moonlight slept on the marble floor, was wrapped in the sad and gloomy shadows of the advancing night.
"Enough," said Glyndon, coldly; "you cease to be an effective counsellor when you suffer your prejudices to be thus evident. I have already had ample proof," added the Englishman, and his pale cheek grew more pale, "of the power of this man, if man he be, which I sometimes doubt; and, come life, come death, I will not shrink from the paths that allure me.
The man lifted his cap as he heard the question, and, approaching Glyndon, laid his hand upon the neck of the horse, and said in a low voice, "Then you are the cavalier whom our patron the signor expected. He bade me wait for you here, and lead you to the castle. And indeed, signor, it might have been unfortunate if I had neglected to obey the command."
"You err," said Isabel, hastily and with a deep sigh, "he pleads for you; he informed me of your love; he besought me not not to reject it." "Strange being, incomprehensible enigma, why did you name him?" "Why? Ah! "All this I felt," answered Glyndon, in a trembling voice, "the first time I was in his presence.
To our great relief, the men got off at the station where we stopped for dinner. We changed trains at Glyndon for the branch line, then only recently laid to Fisher's Landing, but since that time continued to the frontier station of Pembina.
The events of the last few hours, the apparition of the gigantic and shadowy Companion of the Mystic amidst the fires and clouds of Vesuvius, the strange encounter with Zicci himself on a spot in which he could never have calculated on finding Glyndon, filled his mind with emotions, in which terror and awe the least prevailed.
