"Mine eye was then fixed on thy features so bright, Mine ear was entranced by thy harmony's power; Oh, pardon the spirit that, awed by thy light, All things of the earth could forget in that hour!" "What to do?" Zeus exclaimed, "for the world has been given; The harvest, the market, the chase, are not free; But if thou with me wilt abide in my heaven, Whenever thou comest, 'twill be open to thee!"
By the time he had stuck it in his lapel he had saved his mental forces from the rout of Harmony's eyes. His next speech he made to the center table, and missed a most delectable look in the aforesaid eyes. "I didn't come to be silly," he said to the table. "I hate people who whine, and I've got into a damnable habit of being sorry for myself!
The communicating door into Harmony's room was open. Peter kept his eyes carefully from it, but his ears were less under control. He could hear her soft breathing. There were days coming when Peter would stand where he stood then and listen, and find only silence. He tore himself away at last, closing the outer door carefully behind him and lighting a match to find his way down the staircase.
Matrimonially speaking, each of you is fatal to the other. Now go away and let me alone. I'm not accustomed to proposals of marriage." It was in some confusion of mind that Peter Byrne took himself off to the bedroom with the cold tiled stove and the bed that was as comfortable as a washtub. Undeniably he was relieved. Also Harmony's problem was yet unsolved. Also she had called him Peter.
Surely a day that had opened in such a glorious manner for Big Bob, and the team in general, could not have bitterness and gall in store for those gallant Chester fellows who expected to improve upon their work in Marshall, and tear a victory on the gridiron from Harmony's team. Jack occupied himself in various ways until it was time for him to sally forth and join his band at the rendezvous.
It was Georgiev's business to read men. Quickly he put together the bits he had gathered from Harmony on the staircase, added to them Peter's despondent attitude, his strained face, the abstraction which required a touch on the arm from his companion when they reached their destination, recalled Peter outside the door of Harmony's room in the Pension Schwarz and built him a little story that was not far from the truth.
"Peter!" she said. "Peter, dear!" She decided, of course, to stay where she was, a burden to no one. The instinct of the young girl to preserve her good name at any cost outweighed the vision of Peter at the window, haggard and tired, looking out. It was Harmony's chance, perhaps, to do a big thing; to prove herself bigger than her fears, stronger than convention.
It's to laugh, isn't it, a great, hulking carcass like me, to be " "Peter," said Harmony softly, "aren't you going to look at me?" "I'm afraid." "That's cowardice. And I've fixed my hair a new way. Do you like it?" "Splendid," said Peter to the center table. "You didn't look!" The rout of Harmony's eyes was supplemented by the rout of Harmony's hair. Peter, goaded, got up and walked about.
After that she knew. It was on the drive back, with the little darky on the box beside the driver, that Harmony got her answer. Le Grande put a hand over Harmony's. "I tried to tell you before how good I know you were to him." "We loved him." "And I resented it. But Dr. Byrne was right I was not a fit person to to have him." "It was not that not only that " "Did he ever ask for me?
"I am sure, sir, she will be very glad to see you," I could not help saying; and I told him that none of his letters had been received. Captain Falconer kept me on board all day, and nearly the whole time was spent by him in asking me questions, and hearing all I could tell him about Miss Kitty. In the evening, he sent me and Dick back to the Phoebe in one of the Harmony's boats.
