But it was wonderful to watch Manella's face as she listened. Sorrow, pity, tenderness, love, all in turn flashed their heavenly radiance in her eyes and intensified her beauty, and when she had heard all, she smiled as some lovely angel might smile on a repentant soul. Her whole frame seemed to vibrate with a passion of unselfish emotion.
Morgana's eyes flashed mingled humour and disdain. "You quaint creature! Why should I stay? There's nothing to stay for!" "If there's nothing to stay for, why did you come?" This was an unexpected question, the result of a subconscious suggestion in Manella's mind which she herself could not have explained. Morgana seemed amused. "What did I come for? Really, I hardly know!
In this flippant talk he gained the mastery over himself he had feared to lose and laughed heartily as he saw Manella's expression of utter bewilderment. "I do not understand!" she said, plaintively "What is steak and onions? how do they make a marriage? You say such strange things!" He laughed again, thoroughly amused.
I want her to show her how a man can, shall, and MUST be master of a woman's brain and soul!" A sudden heat of pent-up feeling broke out in this impulsive rush of words; he checked himself, and seeing Manella's pale, scared face he went up to her and took her hand.
Don't give too much of your time or your thought to the man you call a 'god. He's no more a god than I am. But I tell you one thing he's a dangerous customer!" Manella's great bright eyes opened wide like stars in the darkness. "Dangerous? How? I do not understand !"
Almost as if the uttered wish had touched some recess of her stunned brain, Manella's eyelids quivered and lifted, the great dark glory of the stars of her soul shone forth for an instant, giving sudden radiance to the pallor of her features then they closed again as in utter weariness. "Magnificent!" said Ardini, under his breath "And full of the vital light, she will live!"
He will never know he is your husband never recognise you, your life will be sacrificed to a helpless creature whose brain is gone who will be unconscious of your care and utterly irresponsive. Oh, sweet, TOO loving Manella! you must not pledge the best years of your youth and beauty to such a destiny!" Manella's dark eyes flashed with passionate ardour and enthusiasm.
Forests could not hide him, caves could not cover him if she made up her mind to find him. I had hoped she would not find ME but she has however, you say she has gone " The colour had fled from Manella's face, she was pale and rigid. "She will come back," she said stiffly. "I hope not!"
The silly trusting creatures go to them like lambs, and get their throats cut! In marriage or out of it the throat-cutting goes on, for men are made of destructive stuff and love the sport of killing. They are never satisfied unless they can kill something a bird, a fox or a woman. I'm a man myself and I know!" "YOU would kill a woman?" Manella's voice was a horrified whisper. Gwent laughed.
"Such big eyes!" she repeated "Like great head-lamps flaring out of that motor-brain of yours! What do you see in me?" Manella's brown skin flushed crimson. "Something I have never seen before!" she answered "You are so small and white! Not like a woman at all!" Morgana laughed merrily. "Not like a woman! Oh dear! What am I like then?"
