"When you meet a woman with a soul you will have met your match, John," the Professor said, and opening his Times, which Demetrius had brought in with the second post, he closed the conversation. John Derringham strolled into the garden. The place had been greatly improved since Halcyone's first discovery of its new occupant.
By thine own joy I vow, By the grape upon the bough, Thou shalt seek me in the midnight, thou shalt love me even now." $/ Mr. Carlyon had not restricted Halcyone's reading: she knew it was from the "Bacchæ" of Euripides, and answered: "Ah, yes, and, you see, I have sought you in the midnight, and I am here, and I love you even now!"
Then she closed her mouth with that firm snap Arabella knew so well, and, swallowing her sleeping draught, she composed herself for a peaceful siesta. It required all Halcyone's fortitude to act the part of unconcern which was necessary after the post had come in and no letter for herself had arrived.
Derringham's condition was much more hopeful, but that the most complete quiet for some time would be absolutely necessary. "John is so strong," Mr. Carlyon said, as he put down the receiver which he had with difficulty manipulated to Halcyone's trembling impatience. "He will pull through. And all I can do is to wait. He will probably be up at the end of my fortnight, when I get back home."
