He made a few of the usual young jokes which were intended to make things cheerful and to treat affectionate fears lightly, but his good-natured blue eye held a certain deadly quiet in its depths. His mother and Kathryn were with him, and it was while they were absorbed in anxious talk with the Duchess that he walked over to where Robin sat and stood before her.
Barrymore had told us to look for, grew out of the horizon dim and mysterious, yet not to be mistaken; hyacinth-blue streaks that were pinnacles and campanili, bubbles that were domes, floating between the gold of the sunset and the grey-green of the tall grass, for no water was visible yet. "Venice!" I whispered; but though Beechy and Aunt Kathryn each cried: "Oh, there it is!
But there is not more much Schloss Hrvoya to see, only the rock for it to stand." Poor Aunt Kathryn! I was sorry for her. But she bore the blow well, and, after all, it's the title, not the castle for which she cares most that, and the right to smear everything with crowns. "Perhaps I'll ask you to paint Hrvoya for me some day," she said.
Now I walked into one of the spare cabins, of which the door stood open, and whether it was meant for me or for Aunt Kathryn I wasn't in a mood to care.
Kathryn Blair, leaned lithely against the weather rail, little, white canvas-shod feet braced, skirts whipping about her slender body, rounded arms gripping the wet edge of the cockpit rail.
How long has it been since you made the slightest effort to see him, or to send anyone to him?" Kathryn answered, slowly: "Not since the time I tried to go, and Tom went before me. I I have thought, often, of going.... But, somehow, I've been afraid." In almost a whisper, she repeated, "Yes.... Afraid!" Elinor VanVorst raised her shoulders in an expressive gesture.
"You you you've spoiled everything in the world!" she cried. "Now" with a desolate, horrible little sob "now I can only go back back." She spoke as if she were Cinderella and he had made the clock strike twelve. Her voice had absolute grief in it. "I say," he was contrite "don't speak like that. I beg pardon. I'll grovel. Don't Oh, Kathryn! Come here!"
I want you to have all the honors all the prominence everything that a man's heart holds dear. But I can't help being jealous a little of the things that are keeping you from us...." She ceased, turning her head away. A robin, in the roses, lifting its head, broke into song. The child waited, patiently.... At length she inquired: "Is that all, mother dear?" Kathryn nodded. "Yes, honey."
Aunt Kathryn had suddenly discovered that she was impatient to see the ancient root from which blossomed her cherished title, and nothing must delay her by the way. I should have wondered at her change of mood, and at the Prince's new enthusiasm for the Dalmatian trip which, until our arrival in Venice, he'd tried to discourage but Beechy explained frankly as usual.
She was watching the trend also and thinking a good deal. On the whole Lady Lothwell had scarcely expected that she would explain. She rarely did. She seldom made mistakes, however. Kathryn in her scant gauzy strips of white and silver having drifted towards them at the moment stood looking on with a funny little disturbed expression on her small, tip-tilted face.
