"In fact," continued the imperturbable Banneker, "I rather planned to ride over to her place this afternoon." "Why, if you please?" "To tell her about you and ask her advice." Io's face darkened rebelliously. "Do you think it necessary to tattle to a woman who is a total stranger to me?" "I think it would be wise to get her view," he replied, unmoved. "Well, I think it would be horrid.
Banneker sat rigid, incredulous, afraid to stir, as the sleeper fears to break the spell of a tenuous and lovely dream, until Io's voice spoke his name. He would have jumped to his feet, but the strong pressure of her hands on his shoulders restrained him. "No. Stay as you are." "I thought you had gone," he said thickly.
It would be too cruel ... and I know his heart." Eight-thirty-six in the evening! And Io's letter to Enderby must have reached him in New York that morning. He would be taking the fast train for the West leaving at eleven. Banneker sent in a call on the long-distance 'phone for Judge Enderby's house. The twelve-minute wait was interminable to his grilling impatience.
In prophesying her fate, Prometheus enters into much beautiful descriptive poetry, and commemorates the lineage of the Argive kings. After Io's departure, Prometheus renews his defiance to Jupiter, and his stern prophecies, that the son of Saturn shall be "hurled from his realm, a forgotten king."
I don't want to pry; you know me well enough to be sure of that. But if I could only know before the end comes that you two I wish I could read your face. It's a helpless thing, being blind." This was as near a complaint as he had ever heard her utter. "Io's a rich woman, Miss Camilla," he said desperately. "What of it?" "How could I ask her to marry a jobless, half-lunged derelict?"
Wilson seems to mean not only that poetry has a moral effect, but that the moral value is the main intention. He then proceeds to elucidate the story of Danae as signifying that women have been and will be overcome by money. The story of Io's seduction by the bull shows that beauty may overcome the best of women.
It's more it's more of a pattern with all the rest; better than stupidly waving good-bye from the rear of a train." "But the danger." "Che sará, sará," returned Io lightly. "I'll trust him to take care of me." While Ban went out to prepare the horses with the aid of Pedro, strictly enjoined to secrecy, the two women got Io's few things together.
But I've made my break, and it's in the rules, as I understand them, that I've got to see it through. If he can get me now" she gave a little shrug "but he can't. I've come to my senses." Sunlight pale, dubious, filtering through the shaken cloud veils, ushered in the morning. Meager of promise though it was, Io's spirits brightened.
For all that Io's "my dear" was the most casual utterance imaginable, it brought a quick flush to Banneker's face. Chattering carelessly, she washed up the few dishes, put them away in the brackets, and then, smoking another of the despised Mellorosas, wandered to the book-shelves. "Read me something out of your favorite book, Ban.... No; this one." She handed him the thick mail-order catalogue.
Forbes's misgivings as to a twenty-year-old girl crossing the continent alone had been unavailing against Io's calm willfulness. Well, she would go back and marry Del Eyre, and be comfortable ever after. After all, liking and comprehension were a sounder foundation for matrimony than the perishable glamour of an attraction like Holmesley's. Any sensible person would know that.
