There's a sickly slaver of sentiment over everything he touches that would make any virtue nauseous." "Don't you want a job as a literary critic Our Special Reviewer, Miss Io Wel Mrs. Delavan Eyre," he concluded, in a tone from which the raillery had flattened out. At that bald betrayal, Io's color waned slightly. She lifted her water-glass and sipped at it.
They come forth with all their Train, the Flutes playing a Symphony before them, which prepares the Song. Which ended the Dancers mingle as before. All Joy to Mortals, Joy and Mirth, Eternal IO'S sing; The Gods of Love descend to Earth, Their Darts have lost the Sting. The Youth shall now complain no more Of Sylvia's needless Scorn, But she shall love, if he adore, And melt when he shall burn.
"Is it because the Sears-Roebuck mail-order double-bow knot in polka-dot pattern stands as a sign of pristine innocence?" In spite of herself Miss Van Arsdale laughed. "Something of that sort." Io's soft lips straightened. "It's rotten bad form. Why shouldn't he be right? It's so easy. Just a hint " "From you?" "From either of us. Yes; from me, if you like."
The other end of the rope which had brought her to safety was knotted fast around his waist.... So he would have followed, as he said! Through Io's queer, inconsequent brain flitted a grotesque conjecture: what would the newspapers make of it if she had been found, washed up on the river-bank, and the Manzanita agent of the Atkinson and St.
In the joyous flush of energy, evoked under the spell of Io's enchantment, he had filled his spare hours with work, happy, exuberant, overflowing with a quaint vitality.
Through haunted nights he had fought maddening memories of Io's shadowed eyes, of the exhalant, irresistible femininity of her, of the pulses of her heart against his on that wild and wonderful night in the flood; and he had won to an armed peace, in which the outposts of his spirit were ever on guard against the recurrent thoughts of her.

"You'll resume them as soon as you get back." "Shall I ever get back?" The girl moved to the door. Her figure swayed forward yieldingly as if she would give herself into the keeping of the sun-drenched, pine-soaked air. "Enchantment!" she murmured. "It is a healing place," said the habitant of it, low, as if to herself. A sudden and beautiful pity softened and sobered Io's face.
"Now, Madame, I play you somezing of a American. Ver' beautiful, it is. Not for violin. For voice, contralto. I sing it to you on ze G-string, which weep when it sing; weep for lost dreams. It is called 'Illusion, ze song." He raised his bow, and at the first bar Io's heart gave a quick, thick sob within her breast.
Banneker's chief interest, next to his ever-thrilling delight in seeing her, was in the part played by Willis Enderby. "What is he doing in that galley?" he wondered. To her explanation he shook his head. Something more than that, he was sure. Asking Io's permission he sent for Russell Edmonds. "Isn't this a new role for Enderby?" he asked. "Not at all. He's been doing this sort of thing always.
