A shadow passed over Herman's high brow. "Is one likely to forget such days?" he demanded. "Is one likely to forget how love may be turned to treachery and " "Pardon," the woman interrupted with dignity. "I did not come to be reproached, eccelenza. You have not forgotten Signor Hoffmeir?" "No," he answered, with a deepening frown.
Have you seen her?" There shot through Herman's mind the reflection that since his wife could not know that he married her out of love not for herself but for Helen Greyson, it was absurd to have fancied that Ninitta would be jealously displeased at Helen's return; and the inevitable twinge of conscience at his wife's trusting ignorance followed.
The Master did not pause; as he played, it seemed as if each tender word and caress of Herman's life was stealing back on music's pinions to soothe the wounds that death had made. "It is the song of our love-life," murmured Eloise. "How full of memories it is what tenderness and harmony and oh! what peace it brings!
I believe that there is a hundredfold more devoutness in the infidelity of New England to-day than in its belief." Ashe leaned forward in amazement, half overturning his glass in his eagerness. "Why, that is a contradiction of terms," he exclaimed. Mrs. Herman's smile deepened. "Not necessarily, Cousin Philip," returned she.
Herman's various whimsicalities there was one to which he had adhered with more fidelity than to the anti-corporal punishment articles of his creed; and, in fact, it was upon this that he had caused those imposing words, "Philhellenic Institute," to blaze in gilt capitals in front of his academy.
It not being Herman's way to bother with greetings, she had passed him on the porch without a word, and that night, winding a clock before closing the house, he spoke to her for the first time. "There is a performance at the Turnverein Hall to-morrow night. Rudolph vill take you." "I don't like Rudolph." "Rudolph viii take you," he had repeated, stolidly. And she had gone.
Suddenly he unclasped his rigid hands, for oh! joy! joy! there was light on the summit of the Kahlenberg; the signal darts up into the sky, and from Herman's peak the cannon proclaims that help is nigh! One cry of rapture burst from the lips of all who stood around the commander; the warder grasped his speaking-trumpet, and cried out to the crowd below, "The signal is answered!"
There was a dreadful fire in the village last year, and old Nicholas Herman's house was nearly burned down. The roof was clear gone, but that was little in comparison to the damage done inside.
With that there desk full of work, she simply could not stop to talk now. She did. Is that the only sign of Herman's you saw? He's got others along them trails. You'll see an arrow in white paint, pointing to his sylvan glen, and warnings not to go to other glens till you've tried his. One says: You've tried the rest; now try the best!
He planned such a trip, and grew so interested in the thought he forgot his patient. In the early dawn Wallace rallied and woke. Herman heard the rustle of the pillow, and turned to find the sick man's eyes looking at him fixedly, calm but puzzled. Herman's lips slowly changed into a beautiful boyish smile. "Hello, old man! How do you find yourself?"
