Mademoiselle Klosking, successor and rival of Alboni, went to the Kursaal, pour passer le temps; and she passed it so well that in half an hour the bank was broken, and there was a pile of notes and gold before La Klosking amounting to ten thousand pounds and more. The lady waved these over to her agent, Mr.
Doctress Gale then requested Ina to leave the room, while she questioned the patient. Ina retired. In a moment or two Miss Gale came out to her softly. At sight of her face, La Klosking said, "Oh, dear; it is more serious than we thought." "Very serious. "Poor Edward!" "Collect all your courage, for I cannot lie, either to patient or friend." "And you are right," said La Klosking, trembling.
He then handed her an emblazoned vellum giving her citizenship, with the reasons written plainly in golden letters. Ina Klosking, who had remained quite quiet during the speeches, waited a moment or two, and then replied, with seemly grace and dignity: "Mr. Burgomaster and gentlemen, you have paid me a great and unexpected compliment, and I thank you for it.
There he found Ina Klosking, with her boxes at the door, waiting for the fly that was to take her away. It was a sad interview. He thanked her deeply for her noble conduct to his sister, and then he could not help speaking of his own disappointment. Mademoiselle Klosking, on this occasion, was simple, sad, and even tender, within prudent limits.
"Well then, madam, I feel very grateful to anything that does you good: otherwise, I should say the music was rather dreary; and the singing very insipid." The open struggle between Joseph's honesty and his awe of the Klosking tickled Vizard so that he leaned back in his chair and laughed heartily. The Klosking smiled superior.
"And now," said Vizard, "it is our last day in Homburg. You are all going to gratify your mania lunacy is contagious. Suppose I gratify mine." "Do dear," said Zoe; "and what is it?" "I like your asking that; when it was publicly announced last night, and I fled discomfited to my balcony, and, in my confusion, lighted a cigar. My mania is the Klosking." "That is not a mania; it is good taste.
Then he ordered the carriage for them, and asked Mademoiselle Klosking when she would like them again. "When can I?" she inquired, rather timidly. "Every day, if you like Sundays and all." "I must be content with every other day." Vizard said he would arrange it so, and was leaving her; but she begged him to stay a moment. "She would be safer here," said she, very gravely.
For some time La Klosking had lost her usual composure. Her bosom heaved tumultuously, and her hands trembled. But at this distinct proposal the whole woman changed. She drew herself up, with her pale cheek flushing and her eyes glittering. "What, sir?" said she. "Have you read me so ill?
Zoe heard the lady say to Ashmead, scarcely above her breath, "Well, but if he requested you to bet for him, how can he blame you?" Zoe could not catch Ashmead's reply, but it was accompanied by a shake of the head; so she understood him to object. Then, after a little more discussion, Ina Klosking said, "What money have you of mine?" Ashmead produced some notes. "Very well," said the Klosking.
When, after singing a great solo, to salvos of applause, Mademoiselle Klosking took the second part with this urchin, the citizens and all the musical people who haunt a cathedral were on the tiptoe of expectation. The boy amazed them, and the rich contralto that supported him and rose and swelled with him in ravishing harmony enchanted them.
