Unaccompanied by Poppy, she would scarcely have again ventured to approach him, but Poppy looked quite determined and resolute enough to give her little companion courage, and Jasmine's childish voice was presently heard in the outer office demanding to see the editor. It so happened that Mr.
Al'mah would pay, and would pay here here in this world. Meanwhile, Al'mah was a woman who, like herself, had suffered. "Let me be your friend; let me help you," Jasmine said, and she took both of Almah's hands in her own. Somehow Jasmine's own heart had grown larger, fuller, and kinder all at once.
Even Miss Martineau, ignorant and narrow-minded as she was, could scarcely pronounce Primrose fit to do much in the educational world; Jasmine's, of course, was only a little giddy pate, and she required a vast amount of teaching herself; and pretty Daisy was still but a young child.
Socially he had never, as it were, seen through a ladder; and Jasmine's almost uncanny brilliance of repartee and skill in the delicate contest of the mind had ever been a wonder to him, though less so of late than earlier in their married life.
There is or was in Florence a statue of Medusa, seated, in her fingers a strand of her hair, which is beginning to coil and bend and twist before her horror-stricken eyes; and this statue flashed before Jasmine's eyes as she looked at the loose ends of gold falling beyond the blue ribbon with which she had tied the shining rope.

"If my attempt," he thought, "does not succeed, we will try what this will do." He was on the point of returning it to its resting-place, when he saw another document in Jasmine's handwriting lying by it.
"Two letters," said Daisy, holding them up in her hand; "actually two letters; one for Primrose oh, yes! of course that must be from Mr. Danesfield; and one for Jasmine oh! Jasmine's is such a funny-looking letter, quite thick and interesting, and with a darling little picture on the back. What can the picture be? oh! some little bells, and The Joy-bell written over them."
Ian had an allusiveness of conversation which made human intercourse a perpetual entertainment, and Jasmine's intercourse with him a delight which lingered after his going until his coming again. The contrast was prodigious and perplexing, for Rudyard Byng had qualities which compelled her interest. She sighed as she reflected.
"Yes, Eyebright, and talking in your dreams," said Jasmine, stooping down and kissing her. Daisy held one of Jasmine's hands very tightly.
