If I broke the engagement, Joyselle would be furious, and come and scold me." "Surely you aren't afraid of being scolded?" "By him, yes. If we had a row the whole thing would come out." "I don't see why." The girl frowned. "You are you, and I am I. When I lose my temper I lose my head and behave like a lunatic. I'd let it all out as sure as we both live. And then " She broke off with a shrug.
"There is the house, ma Brigitte," murmured Joyselle, pressing her hand close to his side.
Then one day his father brought him to see his aunt who had married Monsieur Chalumeau, my uncle, you see? and I was there. And we went up to the castle. You have been there? It is where the Conqueror who conquered England was born, in a tiny little stone room high above the tower. You know the story of Arlette?" Brigit nodded, but she did not know. She wanted to hear about Joyselle. "Bon.
I I knew he loved her oh, petite mère chérie but I never knew how much. Ah, my dear, they had grown together in the twenty-six years they were man and wife, and now she has left him " The young man put his arm on the balustrade and wept quite simply and unrestrainedly. Joyselle, who was sitting by his wife, looked up when Brigit entered with the roses, but he did not speak.
"You have been spying on me," she returned with a good assumption of courage that she was very far from feeling. "Well I have been to talk to Mr. Joyselle. Have you any objection to my doing so?" "Objection? Yes, I have. You have fooled us all. Engaged to the boy, and I have always known that you didn't care for that child, and wondered Now I know." He laughed shrilly.
Félicité smiled serenely and sweetly. "No, I know him. I saw it come and go. But do not be angry and proud, my dear. I wish only to help you." And Brigit, touched by her kindness as well as terrified by her own indiscretion, sat down by her. When Joyselle came in at eight o'clock he went straight to his room to dress.
It was true that she had of late, during the reign of peace that had followed the last quarrel, been unusually happy, and that the thought of marrying Théo had become more bearable than she would have believed possible; the future had taken on an aspect of happy family life with Joyselle and Félicité, in which Théo's part had been pleasantly subordinate; more or less, although her mind had not formulated it, that of a brother.
"Your hair must be very long, Brigitte?" observed Joyselle once, as he looked at her silky plaits that covered her crown in disregard of the laws of fashion. "It is. Comes to my knees. Oh, look!" Two people, a man and a girl, sat in the shade of an isolated tree only a few yards below the place where they stood.
"I may go to him at once?" Joyselle asked her, as Burton helped him take off his coat. "Yes." They went upstairs together, and outside the door of the boudoir he paused and took the violin out of its case. Tommy, who was talking very loud about Alexander the Great, stared at him without recognition. "Allô, Tommy; here I am," Joyselle began, taking the boy's hand.
"Of course I did it was splendid." "Yet I could not hold you," he persisted, his vanity evidently a little hurt. He could not hold her! "Didn't we like it, Théo?" she urged, turning to the young man. "To tell the truth, I didn't hear a note," he admitted, not in the least shamefacedly. "I was looking at you." "Lucky young beggar," laughed Joyselle, "small wonder!
