"If thou wilt nor eat nor drink, Lilith," said Adam, "come and see the place where thou shalt lie in peace." He led the way through the door of death, and she followed submissive. But when her foot crossed the threshold she drew it back, and pressed her hand to her bosom, struck through with the cold immortal. A wild blast fell roaring on the roof, and died away in a moan.
The belief in vampires is the quintessential concentration and embodiment of all the passion of fear in Hungary and the adjacent regions. Nor, of all the other inventions of the human imagination, has there ever been one so perfect in crawling terror as this. Lilith and Karl were quite familiar with the popular ideas on the subject.
"'None of your chaff!'said Richter. 'Your face is honester than your tongue, and confesses what you cannot deny, that you would give your chance of salvation a small one to be sure, but all you've got for one peep at Lilith. Wouldn't you now, Lottchen?
The next morning I spent with my man in the lumber-room; and before mid-day the rest of the house looked like an old curiosity shop it was so littered with odds and ends of dust-bloomed antiquity. It was hard work, and in the afternoon I found myself disinclined for more exercise of a similar sort. I had Lilith out, and took a leisurely ride instead.
On reaching Booyseus he was so fortunate as to find Lilith not only at home but alone. Her face lighted up at the sight of him. "How sweet of you to toil out here this hot afternoon," she said, as he took within his the two hands she had instinctively held out to him.
Lilith lifted her lips, and they moved in a barely audible murmur. "Good-bye, my ideal!" One long, close, farewell kiss, and she was gone. More than ever at that moment did life seem to him all out of joint more than ever, if possible; for his had been one of those lives which, from the cradle to the grave, never seems to be anything else. "Well, Fay, I think that's about enough for one lesson.
The pavements were almost deserted when they reached the park. He felt as if hypnotized, and once, rather meanly, was glad that no one saw him in company of his dowdy companion. "I wonder if you realize that we do not know each other's name," he said. "Oh, yes. You are Mr. Baldur. My name is Mrs. Lilith Whistler." "Mrs. Whistler. Not the medium?" "The medium as you call it.
"Somebody has said that the fashion-chasing women must be daughters of Lilith," put in Jennie. "Never mind. Wonota likes pretty frocks. You could see that easily enough. And although some of the Osage girls may follow the fashions in the mail order catalogs, I believe Wonota has been brought up very simply. 'Old-fashioned, you may say." "Fancy!" responded Jennie. "An old-fashioned' Indian."
But all that he and the old woman now felt was an increasing fear as the night drew on, a kind of sickening and paralysing terror. The thing down there would not lie quiet at least its phantom in the cellars of their imagination would not. As much as possible, however, they avoided alarming Lilith, who, knowing all they knew, was as silent as they.
And even as he passed from her vision, from the light into the gloom, so it seemed as though he had borne the light of her life with him, and, as Lilith stood there in the open doorway, gazing forth into the night, the dull measured clank of the battery stamps seemed to beat in cruel, pitiless refrain within her heart: "At the twelfth hour! at the twelfth hour!"
