"Hush, hush! Never mind that, my dear!" "It's all nonsense, James; we've had more than enough of this sentimentality! A love-child setting himself up as a member of the family it's quite time he did know what his mother was! Why should we be saddled with the child of a Popish priest's amourettes? There, then look!"
The second record I inspected read: "Marguerite, 78 K 4, Love-child." On the page below was a single entry for each month of two hundred marks and every entry from the first was in the name of Ludwig Zimmern. I kept my appointment with Bertha, but found it difficult to hide my anger as she greeted me. Wishing to get the interview over, I asked abruptly, "Have you read the book I left?"
I think it must have been like the light that shines on a happy mother's face when she holds her love-child in her arms. And then a rainbow encircled the illuminated mountains, like a beautiful filmy halo about the head of the Madonna, while beneath lay the Truckee; its water like silvery veins and sparkling gems, glistening and trembling in the golden light.
I called it a Symphony Polynesian, and I had spent years in study of barbaric music, instruments and kindred things that this love-child of mine might be more richly clothed by a tone or a fancy.
"But did you not say that you bore an illegitimate child to this gentleman?" asked the squire. "Oh, la! no, sir; you know I denied that; I never bore an illegitimate child; I bore a love-child, but not to him; and there is no harm in that, sure." "Well, she certainly has exculpated you, Sir Robert." "Gentlemen, will you excuse and pardon me? and will you promise not to send me to jail?"
Here I hold your cursed pledge "He struck at me, or at the locket no matter which but it flew away. My right arm was crippled by his heavy stick; but I am left-handed, as a bastard should be. From my left hand he took his death, and I threw the pistol after him: such love had he earned from his love-child!"
Two thousand a year without debt or drawback except the little love-child, indeed; aye, I had forgot her; but she may be 'prenticed out at a small cost, and then what does it signify?
He himself had taken a certain pride in thinking that Uncle Hugo's "love-child," as he had believed her to be, was at any rate, love-child or no, born of the Jocelyn blood and that when he married her, as he hoped and fully purposed to do, he would discard his own name of Clifford and take that of Jocelyn, in order to keep the continuity of associations unbroken as far as possible.
Upon one of those fine spring mornings, when the leaves, although unfolded, are not yet green, when the sun begins to gild the roofs, and the sky is blue, when the population of Paris issues from its cells to swarm along the boulevards, glides like a serpent of a thousand coils through the Rue de la Paix towards the Tuileries, saluting the hymeneal magnificence which the country puts on; on one of these joyous days, then, a young man as beautiful as the day itself, dressed with taste, easy of manner to let out the secret he was a love-child, the natural son of Lord Dudley and the famous Marquise de Vordac was walking in the great avenue of the Tuileries.
Some dying woman's love-child, she thought.... She would give him her years to make him brave and beautiful. It would be her gift to the world her greatest painting and the little child would name it Mother. "He means me to have it!" she murmured.
