"Je l'aime tant! Il a si bon coeur! et ses beaux yeux! Mon Dieu, comme un ange!" As soon as I had settled the various little details respecting my room and attendance, and had changed my travelling-dress for a quiet visiting toilette, I started for the abode of Heliobas. The weather was very cold; I had left the summer behind me at Cannes, to find winter reigning supreme in Paris.
Here she turned and faced me, and I saw her divine eyes droop with the moisture of unshed tears. And now," said Alwyn, interrupting his narrative and speaking with emphatic decision, "surely there remains but one thing for me to do that is, to find the 'Field of Ardath." Heliobas smiled gravely. "Nay, if you consider the whole episode a dream," he observed, "why trouble yourself?
But to resume what I was saying, you know now that I am quite old enough in the eyes of the world to chaperon you or anybody. You had better arrange to stay here. Casimir asked me to settle the matter with, you." As she spoke, Heliobas and Prince Ivan entered. The latter looked flushed and excited Heliobas was calm and stately as usual. He addressed himself to me at once.
Cold and heat, storm and sunshine, good and evil, joy and sorrow all go in pairs. This double life extends to all the spheres and above the spheres. Do you understand?" "I understand what you say," I said slowly; "but I cannot see your meaning as applied to myself or yourself." "I will teach you in a few words," went on Heliobas. "You believe in the soul?" "Yes." "Very well.
"Little fool!" he cried to me; "he has maddened you too, then! You are also a victim! Miserable girl! out of my path! Revenge revenge! while I am yet sane!" Then pushing me roughly aside, he cast away his sword, and shouted to Heliobas: "Hand to hand, villain! No more of these toy-weapons! Hand to hand!"
Challoner, as she bent to examine the glittering vase of flowers near her plate. "And this is real electric light? And is it perfectly harmless?" Heliobas smilingly assured her of the safety of his table decorations. "Electricity," he said, "though the most powerful of masters, is the most docile of slaves. It is capable of the smallest as well as of the greatest uses.
"Now, my dear sir," interrupted Heliobas in a tone of good-natured remonstrance, "do not if you have any respect for science at all do not, I beg of you, talk to me of the 'physical workings' of a DEAD BRAIN?" "A dead brain!" echoed Alwyn. "What do you mean?" "What I say," returned Heliobas, composedly.
It can give with equal certainty life or death; in fact, it is the key-note of creation." "Is that your theory, sir?" asked Colonel Everard. "It is not only my theory," answered Heliobas, "it is a truth, indisputable and unalterable, to those who have studied the mysteries of electric science." "And do you base all your medical treatment on this principle?" pursued the Colonel. "Certainly.
"There IS an Ardath then!" cried Alwyn excitedly. Heliobas eyed him with something of scorn. "Naturally! Are you still so much of a sceptic that you think an ANGEL would have bidden you seek a place that had no existence? Oh, yes! I see you are inclined to treat your ethereal adventure as a mere dream, but I know it was a reality, more real than anything in this present world."
Silently Alwyn drew from his breast-pocket the velvet case in which he always kept the cherished blossom, and taking it tenderly out, placed it in his companion's hand. "An immortelle" said Heliobas softly, while the flower, uncurling its silvery petals in the warmth of his palm, opened star-like and white as snow. "An immortelle, rare and possibly unique! that is all the world would say of it!
