"Oh," continued Ashmead, "I shall be busy till evening; but I will ask him and you to dine with me at the Kursaal, and then adjourn to the Royal Box. You are a queen of song, and that is where you and he shall sit, and nowhere else." Ina Klosking was changing color all this time, and cast a grateful but troubled look on him. "My kind, old faithful friend!" said she, then shook her head.
Pickering and I remained a while, walking up and down the long glazed gallery of the Kursaal. I had not taken many steps before I became aware that I was beside a man in the very extremity of love. "Isn't she wonderful?" he asked, with an implicit confidence in my sympathy which it cost me some ingenuity to elude. If he were really in love, well and good!
Longueville," she added, with a soft, sweet emphasis which should properly have contradicted the idea of audacity, but which, to Bernard's awakened sense, seemed really to impart a vivid color to it, "he was also the cause of your joining our little party." "Oh, among his services that should never be forgotten. You should set up a tablet to commemorate it, in the wall of the Kursaal!
Nevertheless, as one is naturally curious to learn whence a bright vision has emerged, I permitted myself to decipher." "Your curiosity was natural," said Ina, dryly. "I will detain you with no more questions." She put the card carefully away, and eat her modest repast. Then she made her afternoon toilet, and walked, slowly and pensively, to the Kursaal.
"Oh, aunt," said Zoe, pleadingly, "do you think there would be any great harm in our just for once in a way?" "My dear," said Miss Maitland, solemnly, "I cannot say that I approve of public gambling in general. But at Homburg the company is select. I have seen a German prince, a Russian prince, and two English countesses, the very e'lite of London society, seated at the same table in the Kursaal.
The spacious Kurhaus with its verandas and Kursaal, which is large enough to accommodate 2,500 people, is in the center of the dike. There are concerts every evening, and altho the town is filled with hotels, during the months of June, July, August, and September they are quite monopolized by the Hollanders and the prices are very high. The magnificent pier is 450 yards long.
Ina thanked him, and said she would not miss going on any account; but she was rather fatigued and faint. "Oh, I'll wait for you as long as you like," said Ashmead, kindly. "No, my good comrade," said Ina. "I will ask you to go to the manager and get me a little money, and then to the Kursaal and secure me a place at the table in the largest room. There I will join you.
He wondered why Helen was so late in arriving that he had caught her up on the very threshold of the Kursaal, so to speak. He would not forget the driver's face, and if he met the man again, it might be possible to find out the cause of the delay. He himself was before time.
They strolled away together while their elders rested; two or three times, in the evening, when the ballroom of the Kursaal was lighted and dance-music played, they whirled over the smooth floor in a waltz that stirred my memory. Whether it had the same effect on Mrs. Pallant's I know not: she held her peace.
Bernard found himself understanding it so well that he literally blushed with intelligence. "Don't you come to the Casino in the evening, as you used to come to the Kursaal?" he asked. Mrs. Vivian looked again at her daughter, who had passed into the door-way of the cottage; then she said "We will go this evening." "I shall look for you eagerly," Bernard rejoined.
