Come, give me your flowers, the sea-air will spoil them; and walk with Leoline: the air is fine, and will enliven you. Come, Leoline, take her by the arm, and walk with her." "No, madam," said Marina, "I pray you let me not deprive you of your servant:" for Leoline was one of Dionysia's attendants.
From this speculation, the sweet voice aroused him. "You have told me who you are. Now, do you know who I am?" "I hope so, fairest Leoline. I know you are the most beautiful lady in England, and to-morrow will be called Lady Kingsley!" "I am something more," said Leoline, holding his hand between both hers, and bending near him; "I am your sister!"
Ormiston looked at him curiously. "It is my turn to ask questions, now, my lord. Who is Count L'Estrange?" "I know of no such person, Ormiston. I was thinking of something else! Was it Leoline who told you that was her lover's name?" "No; I heard it by mere accident from another person. I am sure, if Leoline is not a personage in disguise, he is." "And why do you think so?"
But actions sometimes speak louder than words; and Leoline was perfectly convinced that her declaration had not fallen on insensible ears. At the end of that period, the space between them on the couch had so greatly diminished, that the ghost of a zephyr would have been crushed to death trying to get between them; and Sir Norman's face was fairly radiant.
It is no idle curiosity that sent me here at this hour to ask impertinent questions, but a claim that I have upon you, stronger than that of any one else in the world." Leoline's beautiful eyes opened wider yet. "A claim upon me! How? Why? I do not understand." "All in good time. Will you tell me something of your past history, Leoline?" "Madame Masque, I have no history to tell.
Sir Norman promptly paid her for the compliment in Cupid's own coin: "Little flatterer! I can almost forgive Count L'Estrange for wanting to marry you; for I presume he it only a man, and not quite equal to impossibilities. How long is it since you knew him first?" "Not two months. My courtships," said Leoline, with a gay laugh, "seem destined to be of the shortest.
"Permit me to doubt that, too! Hubert is as much lost to you as Leoline!" Leaving the volatile earl to put what construction pleased him best on this last sententious remark, he resumed his march after George, and was ushered, at last, into an ante-room near the audience-chamber.
Even "hoping against hope," he had to give up the chase at last no Leoline did that house hold; and with this conviction despairingly impressed on his mind, Sir Norman Kingsley covered his face with his hands, and uttered a dismal groan.
I cannot realize at all that you are a stranger to me!" Leoline laughed: "Nor I; though, for that matter, you are not a stranger to me, Sir Norman!" "Am I not? How is that!" "I have seen you go past so often, you know; and Prudence told me who you were; and so I need I used " hesitating and glowing to a degree before which her dress paled.
May Heaven bless you and grant you a long and happy life with shall I say it, Leoline?" "Please no!" whispered Leoline, shyly. La Masque softly patted the little tremulous hand. "We are both saying the name now in our hearts, my dear, so it is little matter whether our lips repeat it or not. He is worthy, of you, Leoline, and your life will be a happy one by his side; but there is another."
