Always at the first signs of neurosis the inevitable result of the simple life I dashed to Paris, to the golden-haired Reine at the Marigny; or else I cabled to Anna of the Admiral's Palast in Berlin; or, if time permitted, I sought the glittering presence of Bianca Weise at Vienna. London had always seemed to me essentially senile grey-haired and sedate.
This same dark race returning now from Norway, swooped hawk-like upon the rich shrines of the Irish island sanctuaries, only to come into hostile contact once more with sons of that golden-haired race which scattered the dark Fomorians at Mag Tuiread of the North.
In her cosmic palace, all is locked in icy repose, naught thriving save the ivy which defies the cold, until the kiss of the golden-haired sun-god reawakens life and activity. The wintry sleep of nature is symbolized in innumerable stories of spell-bound maidens and fair-featured youths, saints, martyrs, and heroes. Sometimes it is the sun, sometimes the earth, that is supposed to slumber.
The dark frown on the child's face never relaxed, and, with an impatient gesture, her father ordered her taken at once from the room. Suddenly the great bells of Whitestone Hall ceased pealing for the joyous birth of Basil Hurlhurst's daughter, and bitter cries of a strong man in mortal anguish rent the air. No one had noticed how or when the sweet, golden-haired young wife had died.
O the piquante, golden-haired beauty, adorably white and subtle, the dazzling shoulders, the coquettish play of the lorgnette, the wit, the daring, the diablerie. "So it's a no, a contradiction, the first word I hear of yours. So this is you. Yes, yes, it is even thus I pictured you." She is rising to beg the hostess to introduce them, but he places his hand gently on her arm. "Why?
Do you know that I was to have married Mistress Royal?" Harwin assented again. "Who told you?" "Mistress Archdale." "Ah! yes, the little golden-haired one that thinks herself such a beauty." "She is infinitely more than she can think herself," cried Harwin. Edmonson turned upon him a look of malign triumph. "Ah!" he said. "You suffer, too." He was silent for an instant.
Beautiful girls from all parts of Asia, black-eyed Armenians, dazzlingly fair maidens from the Caucasus, delicate girls from the shores of the Ganges, luxurious Babylonian women, golden-haired Persians and the effeminate daughters of the Median plains; indeed many of the noblest Achaemenidae had given him their daughters in marriage.
After all, though, you, my golden-haired friend, were but the son of Panthus; one can understand your respect for gold. Need I say more? Need I point out the useful purposes that gold serves? the beauty and wisdom and strength, the honour and glory it confers on its possessors, at a moment's notice turning obscurity and infamy into world-wide fame?
"Yes, I'm afraid you'll have but a strange opinion of me," she said; "but I love all experience, it's such fun, and when I heard that there was a sudden vacancy for a golden-haired beauty in this place, I couldn't resist applying, and to my surprise they took me and here I am! Of course I shall only stay till Orlando appears which," she added mournfully "he hasn't done yet."
She had her golden-haired little girl in one arm, and she laid the other hand caressingly on her husband's shoulder, "There is none: I am happy," she said in a low, earnest tone; and then added laughingly, "or I shall be as soon as Edward gets well of sciatica and Wang-Ho recovers from his chills." Mr. Denham begged us to go before him, and his wife led the way to the dining-room.
