There mountains hurl themselves against the stars and at their feet lie black and leaden seas. Above float clouds white, gray, and inken, while the clear, impalpable air springs and sparkles like new wine. Last night we floated on the calm bosom of the sea in the southernmost haven of Mount Desert. The water flamed and sparkled.
Hillars laid his smoking pipe in the ash pan. He got up and roamed about the room, stopped at the window and stared at the inken sky, then returned to his chair. I shall tell Hillars's story as he told it. He said: Last August I went to B . My mission was important and took me to the British Legation, where I am well known.
Eve saw it all. She saw more than the acute Spaniard. Firstly, because she was a woman. Secondly, because she loved Fitz. Thirdly, because the inken curse was hers in a small degree, and people who dabble in ink often wade deep into human nature. And hence one master passion in the breast, Like Aaron's serpent, swallows all the rest. Life is, after all, a matter of habit.
He pressed his lips to the inken line. Fortune indeed favored him . . . or was it the devil? Hers! She was his; here was a sword to bend that proud neck. Ten thousand livres? There was more than that, more than that by a hundred times. Passion first, or avarice; love or greed? He would decide that question later. He slipped the paper into the pocket of the cloak.
