Herrick, you are quite dramatic; Hamlet or the melancholy Jacques could not have been more lost in gloomy meditation. If I may presume to ask the question, why will the Jacobis have to reckon with you?" "Did I say so?" returned Malcolm, with an uneasy laugh. "I suppose I was thinking aloud.
Godfrey's secret amusement, the Jacobis were introduced to him. Miss Jacobi bowed to him in rather a grave, reserved manner, but her brother shook hands with real or assumed cordiality. "I am delighted to make your acquaintance, Mr. Herrick," he observed volubly. "We have a mutual friend, I believe. What a capital fellow Templeton is charming charming!
No. 6, was "the health of all good children!" The eight seemed as if they could not return thanks enough. After this yet a many other particular toasts were given. The young Jacobis drank incessantly to the aunts Gabriele must continually make her glass clink against those of her little nephews. In the mean time Jeremias Munter made with love-warm looks the following speech to his bride.
With an indescribable pleasure the little Jacobis threw their glasses up, and endeavoured to make the skål for Peace as noisy and tumultuous as possible. We leave now the joyful circle, from which we have seen the mother softly steal away.
"I wanted to ask you about these new friends of Cedric's," she began. "He seems so full of them, and neither Elizabeth nor I know anything about them. My sister, who is certainly not at all a narrow-minded person, has taken a most singular prejudice against them." "Do you mean the Jacobis? My dear Miss Templeton, I am sorry to say that I have never met them." Then Dinah's face fell.
"For the present?" she repeated anxiously. "My dear lady," he returned gravely, "do you suppose that we have seen the last of Saul Jacobi?" "Indeed indeed, I hope so," very earnestly. "Then 'hope told a flattering tale, and you must not believe her," replied Malcolm smiling. "The Jacobis of this life are not so easily shaken off.
Tell Cedric that he may have carte blanche for his friends, and leave him to follow up the hint. He will answer by return, and tell you that he has asked the Jacobis, and then the card can be sent." "Yes, I see; it is a good idea. I will talk to Dinah, but thank you all the same for your suggestion. I am quite ashamed of bothering you about our concerns; I fear we trespass on your good-nature."
Godfrey on the subject of the Jacobis. They were sitting in the loggia again, and the row of dark chestnut trees looked almost black against the intense blue of the sky. A faint breeze was just stirring the leaves, and every now and then a sort of ripple of sunlight seemed to streak the sombre foliage with gold. On the terrace there was a wealth of sunshine, and the stones felt hot to the feet.
"We have no desire to have the Jacobis on our visiting-list." "Of course not," was Malcolm's answer, "you know I never meant that; but it would give you and Miss Templeton an opportunity of studying them, and it could be managed without difficulty." "I wish you would tell me how. I suppose we should have to send Miss Jacobi a card of invitation?" "No, I think not at least not at first.
The Jacobis will talk you over and persuade you that black is white. At least let me accompany you?" But Cedric absolutely refused this, and Malcolm could not press it. "You mean kindly, Herrick," he observed hurriedly, "but a man must manage his own business.
