She listened for the words which dropped from those gentle lips; she was always on the lookout for the love-light which filled the soft brown eyes. At that moment the old servant, Fortune, brought in the tea on a pretty tray and laid it on a small table near Mrs. Delaney. Then Iris got up, and with an important air poured it out and brought a cup, nicely prepared, to her mother. Mrs.
"Whatever the outcome, I shall always be glad," he said "glad of the day you needed needed assistance glad of the chance it has given me to prove my prove my friendship." "I'll try to be worthy of your courage," she answered, returning his look with an answering glance in which the love-light could only at best be a trifle modified. "But I don't see how it will end."
She closed the door softly behind her, and stood looking down upon me with such a wondrous love-light in her eyes as no man may describe. My fancy had not lifted me within its compass, my dreams even had not imagined it. And the fire from which it sprang does not burn in humbler souls.
While we were engrossed with our discussion she rose silently, though not with any appearance of stealth, and went out. After a while she returned. I could read the love-light in her eye as she resumed her occupation. El Sol and his sister at length left us, and shortly after Seguin, the doctor, and I rolled ourselves in our serapes, and lay down to sleep.
He could see the love-light glinting in the Eyes of Bernice. She had fallen for the Flukus. Kenneth was installed as Steady. When Bernice saw him turn the Corner and approach the House, he looked to her like Rupert, the long lost Heir while Father discerned only an insect too large to be treated with Powder. Kenneth was the kind of Sop that you see wearing Evening Clothes on a Colored Post-Card.
Though I hated him for the fear that he had caused her, yet I was glad also, for now I saw that the answer to his proposal would be easier than I had thought for. As for him, his face darkened and his black brows came together, and the love-light in his eyes changed to a glare of anger; but this was only for an instant.
It was not perhaps a palace, but it was a very great deal more imposing than anything they had dreamt of in the early days of their married life, and yet John Chetwynd told himself with a sigh that he would gladly give up fame and prosperity to win back the old love-light in his wife's eyes. And there are some among us who cannot love for so little "Of man's love a thing apart."
But it was so different without the love-light of your eyes and the pressure of your dear hand, that I felt the tears gathering, and had all manner of sad thoughts. I feared you didn't care for me as you used to do, and were finding it easy to live without me. But when I entered the parlor that overlooks the beautiful lawn, all my doubts vanished.
Neither did she dream that last night's moon shone down on Dora Deane, a beautiful, blushing bride, who, with orange blossoms in her shining hair, and the deep love-light in her eye, stood by Mr. Hastings's side and called him her husband. Nothing of all this she knew, and hastily reading the letter, she exclaimed, "Plague on her! a vast deal of difference her being at the wedding would make.
But no love-light shone from them. They were unmoved, cold in their grey-blue depths almost to hardness. "Listen to me, my lad," the doctor said briskly. "The drive in from Taloona shook you up a bit, they tell me. Made you delirious, so that they had to keep you on the sofa all night watching you. That's where I found you when I got here at dawn.
