She stood and eyed her. Soon Ina Klosking caught sight of her, and stared at her. "You here!" said she. "Ah! you are Miss Vizard. I am in your house. I will get up and leave it;" and she made a feeble attempt to rise, but fell back, and the tears welled out of her eyes at her helplessness. Zoe was indignant, but for the moment more shocked than anything else.
Mademoiselle Klosking, the new contralto, whose triumphant progress through Europe will probably be the next event in music, walked into the Kursaal the other night, broke the bank, and walked out again with twelve thousand pounds, and that charming composure which is said to distinguish her in private life.
She had her hat on in a moment, and walked him down to Islip. Her tongue was not idle on the road. "You don't ask after the people," said she. "There's poor Miss Vizard. She had a sad illness. We were almost afraid we should lose her." "Heaven forbid!" said Uxmoor, startled by this sudden news. "Mademoiselle Klosking got quite well; and oh! what do you think? Mr.
Indeed, were he to suffer, I should stupefy him at once, for nothing can hurt him." Ina Klosking turned faint and her knees gave way under her. Rhoda ministered to her; and while she was so employed, Dr. Menteith was announced. He was shown in to the patient, and the accident described to him. He questioned the patient, and examined him alone.
"This is a bad beginning of an imprudent journey," said she: "I have a great mind to countermand the carriage." "No, no," said Ina; "I will sleep in the railway and recover myself." The ladies now got into the carriage; Ashmead insisted on going upon the box; and Vizard soon appeared, and took his seat opposite Miss Gale and Mademoiselle Klosking.
Ashmead stared at him, and then broke out, "In this house! O Lord! How can that be?" "It happened in a way very distressing to us all, though the result is now so delightful. Mademoiselle Klosking called here on a business with which, perhaps, you are acquainted." "I am, sir."
Ah, here's Harris, with the villain's things. Get the lady's boxes out, and put Mr. Severne's into the fly. Give the man two guineas, and let him leave them at the 'Swan, in Taddington." He then beckoned down the women, and had Ina Klosking carried upstairs to the very room Severne had occupied.
The old lady said, "Few strangers come here are you not English?" "Yes, madam." "It is Mr. Vizard is it not?" "Yes, madam." "Ah, sir, my daughter will welcome you, but not more heartily than I do. My child has told me all she owes to you" then in Danish, "God bless the hour you come under this roof." Vizard's heart beat tumultuously, wondering how Ina Klosking would receive him.
Next day Vizard had his mother's sables taken out and aired, and drove Mademoiselle Klosking into Taddington in an open carriage. Fanny told her they were his mother's sables, and none to compare with them in the country. On returning, she tried her voice to the harmonium in her own antechamber, and found it was gaining strength like herself.
Having all this in my mind, and remembering how many noble women have shone like stars in every age and every land, and feeling sure that, as civilization advances, such women will become far more common, I have tried to look ahead and paint La Klosking. But such portraiture is difficult. It is like writing a statue.
