She thought all danger of his discovering the cave was over, so she replied angrily. "And suppose I won't come? Don't think you can frighten me, for you can't. I tell you, I won't go a step with you." The Austrian was about to reply, when a sound that had been so welcome only a few hours ago struck terror to Lucia's ears. "Naa, Naa!" "What's that?" the soldier jumped nervously.
He was thinking of Kitty who had shown him kindness, of Kitty and the pleasant jests with which she used to cover his embarrassment; of Kitty who had understood him at the last. It was impossible not to feel some grief for the grief of Lucia's friend; but he had no business to show it. Therefore he had turned away.
Will you have sole or bacon?" "Sole, please," I said. "Yes; Dick and I walked back from Lucia's place." "How did you find her?" he asked, stirring his tea I had just handed him, and looking at me. "Don't you think she has deteriorated in looks very much?" "Enormously," I replied, without hesitation. There is nothing like conceding at once to your opponent any point that you admit yourself.
You will not leave me too!" Valencia dashed it on the ground, clasped her sister in her arms, and covered her head with kisses. "My Lucia! My own sweet good sister! Base, cowardly," sobbed she, in her rage; while Lucia's agony began to find a vent in words, and she moaned on "What have I done?
Georgie was not sorry to have the morning to himself, for he wanted to have a little quiet practice at the Mozart trio, before he went over to Lucia's at half-past eleven, the hour when she had arranged to run through it for the first time. He would also have time to do a few posturing exercises before the first Yoga-class, which was to take place in Lucia's smoking-parlour at half-past twelve.
At all events, the two girls did get on excellently together; before the week which the Wynters spent in London was at an end, they had discussed as much of Lucia's love story as she was disposed to tell, and arranged that Tiny and her sister should really officiate on that occasion to which everybody's thoughts were now beginning to be directed. Another week found the Costellos at Dighton.
She sat in silence sewing, but observed Lucia's face and knew that she was suffering much or it would not show in the countenance of one with so strong a will. "Has Mr. Sefton been gone long?" she asked after awhile. "Yes, but not long enough." Miss Grayson said nothing and Miss Catherwood was the next to interrupt the silence. "Charlotte," she said, "I intend to leave Richmond at once."
But before I could conquer my strong disinclination to give an idea of the true nature of my visitants, Lucia came out of her room. "What do you say to this, little daughter!" my mother said with grave, almost embarrassed mien, "Vico wants to enter the priesthood." It was curious to mark the change of expression on Lucia's face.
Having got rid of the upper strata of white lace and fine linen, artfully done up so as to tremble like aspen leaves with Lucia's mad trills, Margaret proceeded to butter her face thoroughly.
The first fiacre that was passing as I left the hotel I took, and was driven, through the bright sunshine that filled the Paris boulevards, to the Grand. I sat back in it, with my arms folded, feeling my heart like a stone within me. Lucia's coming, that, thirty-six hours back, would have infused the extreme of delight through me, was now useless, worthless. I could do nothing, say nothing.
