Whatever discretion the prefect employed, Guy was near enough to him to hear the name of Marianne Kayser, which surprised him. Marianne! what question of Marianne could there be between these two men? Lissac observed that Vaudrey suddenly became very pale. He drew still nearer, pretending to finish a cup of coffee while standing.
He said: "Come as often as you please; house and heart are open to you." We sat down and sang a hymn. Then brother Kayser, now a missionary in Africa, fell on his knees and asked a blessing on our meeting. This kneeling down made a deep impression upon me; for I had never either seen any one on his knees, nor had I ever myself prayed on my knees.
But we must not take such theories too seriously. As Kayser has said, any true theory of the make-up of the atoms must assume an absolutely full and perfect knowledge of all electrical and optical processes, and is therefore beyond our dreams.
"Well! we will sup at the studio," she replied nervously. "We will discuss the morality of art." She had now attained her end. She realized that anything she might add would cool the impression already made on the duke. She wished to leave him under the intoxication of that kiss. "Let us go!" said Kayser, drawing himself up in an ill-humored way. "Since you wish it what a funny idea!
In one of the secret repositories where during his latter years my venerable predecessor used with senile cunning to hide, indiscriminately, the coins of the Romans and of the Yankees, rags, bottles of rhubarb and magnesia, books, papers, and buttons, I had found, one night, an ancient MS. I had been all the evening reading a High-German Middle-Age volume, illustrated with wood-cuts, cut as with a hatchet, and being, as per title-page, Julius der erste Römische Kayser, von seinen Kriegen, "Julius the first Roman Emperor, of his Wars."
"For myself, I am not a painter of obscene subjects and lewd photography." Marianne shrugged her shoulders and went out, coughing involuntarily. Old Kayser passed his time steeped in the odors of nicotine. "I am lost, if Vaudrey comes here," she said to herself.
Manifestly, Mademoiselle Kayser realized the picture of his vanished dreams, and the desires of a particular love that the passion for Adrienne, although absolute, could not satisfy. This man had a nature of peculiar ardor or rather, curious desires, a greedy desire to know, an itching need to approach and peep into abysses.
Then brother Kayser, now a missionary in Africa, in connection with the London Missionary Society, who was then living at Halle, fell on his knees, and asked a blessing on our meeting. This kneeling down made a deep impression upon me; for I had never either seen any one on his knees, nor had I ever myself prayed on my knees.
"Oh! great ideas," began Kayser. "Things that will make famous frescoes! For a palace or the Pantheon! either one!" He had looked alternately at the duke and Vaudrey.
I hardly see him except for Uncle Kayser, who is soliciting an official commission, you heard him " "Does Monsieur Vaudrey pay his addresses to you?" "Necessarily. Oh! but only out of pure French gallantry. Mere politeness. He loves his wife and he knows very well that I don't love any one." "No one?" asked Rosas.
