She had prayed, not that her heart wherewith she loved Herbert Courtland might be changed that she knew would be difficult; not that her love for Herbert Courtland might cease that she believed to be impossible; but simply that Herbert Courtland might be kept away from her that she knew to be the most sensible course her scheme of imploration could take.
"That is my cry thank God thank God; and yet and yet God help me! I feel ready to throw myself at your feet and say 'Give him back to me! Give him back to me!" She had stood with her hands clasped above her head at her first utterance of that imploration "Give him back to me!"
To-day he came back, and was brought to me. By signs and tears he at last made me understand he wished to return to his cell, and I so ordered. As they were leading him off, he broke away and kissed my feet, and, by piteous dumb imploration, insisted I should go with him; and I went. The mystery of the three men stayed in my mind. I was not satisfied about it.
"Save me, O Princess, save me!... He is killing me.... My God see hear he is crushing my bones!... Save me!" Lael was then behind the King, on her knees, thanking Heaven for rescue. She heard the imploration, and, woman-like, sight of the awful agony extinguished the memory of her wrongs. "Spare him, Nilo, for my sake, spare him!" she cried.
Reybold threw open the door and entered into the presence of Mrs. Basil and her daughter. The former arose with surprise and shame, and cried: "Jedge Basil, the Dutch have hunted you down. He's here the Yankee creditor." Joyce Basil held up her hand in imploration, but Reybold did not heed the woman's remark.
The expression of supplication must have remained unchanged, for she responded to their imploration by a long kiss which closed them, then came down to his lips, drinking their dolorous emotion. Then she rang and told her maid to light Durtal through the hall. He descended, satisfied that she had engaged herself to yield tomorrow night.
