"What makes it more remarkable is that the lady is not a gamester, has never played before, and is said to have declared that she shall never play again. It is certain that, with such a face, figure, and voice as hers, she need never seek for wealth at the gambling-table. Mademoiselle Klosking is now in negotiation with all the principal cities of the Continent.
Harris," said Rhoda, "would you mind telling Mr. Vizard?" "Well, miss," said Harris, softly, "I did step in and tell him. Which he told me to go to the devil, miss a hobservation I never knew him to make before." This was not encouraging. Yet the Klosking quietly inquired where he was. "In there, ma'am," said Harris. "In his study."
Joseph Ashmead, resuming his original arts, and playing Grandfather Whitehead on the green grass. MADEMOISELLE KLOSKING told Vizard the time drew near when she must leave his hospitable house. "Say a month hence," said he. She shook her head. "Of course you will not stay to gratify me," said he, half sadly, half bitterly. "But you will have to stay a week or two longer par ordonnance du me'decin."
Ashmead was wroth, and could hardly contain himself; but the Klosking was amused, and rather pleased. "Mademoiselle has positive tastes in music," said she; "all the better." "Yes," said the spinster, "most music is mere noise. I hate and despise forty-nine compositions out of fifty; but the fiftieth I adore. Give me something simple, with a little soul in it if you can."
Indeed, his reproach to Fanny had touched her a little, and it was with the tear in her eye she came to the resolution, and handed him that line, which told him she knew her value, and, cost what it might, would part with any man forever rather than share him with the Klosking or any other woman. Severne took the line, eyed it, realized it, fell back from the window, and dropped into his seat.
If he had written a penitent letter to Mademoiselle Klosking, that would be a different thing; but he ignores her, and that frightens me for Zoe." Harrington would not admit that Zoe needed any other safeguard against a detected scoundrel than her own sense of dignity. He consented, however, to take precautions, if Fanny would solemnly promise not to tell Zoe, and so wound her.
After a recitative that rivaled the silver trumpet, she flung herself with immediate and electrifying ardor into the melody; the orchestra, taken by surprise, fought feebly for the old ripple; but the Klosking, resolute by nature, was now mighty as Neptune, and would have her big waves. The momentary struggle, in which she was loyally seconded by the conductor, evoked her grand powers.
He then came out, and said he would draw a prescription. He did so. "Doctor," said La Klosking, "tell me the truth. It cannot be worse than I fear." "Madam," said the doctor, "medicine can do nothing for him. The spinal cord is divided. Give him anything he fancies, and my prescription if he suffers pain, not otherwise. Shall I send you a nurse?"
"What for? it's from Vizard Court." And the dog-cart rattled away. Joseph was in the hall, and witnessed this phenomenon. He said to himself, "I wish I had a vast acquaintance ALL COUNTRY GENTLEMEN." That afternoon Ina Klosking insisted on walking up and down the room, supported by Mesdemoiselles Gale and Dover. The result was fatigue and sleep; that is all.
AT one o'clock next day, Ashmead received a note from Mademoiselle Klosking, saying, "Arrange with Mr. X to close my tour with Manchester. Pay the fortnight, if required." She was with the company at a month's notice on either side, you must understand.
