The air was glorious, a soft breeze blowing landward from the ocean. He almost forgot his hunger in the face of such a spectacle. The breakers were racing in, and after crumbling, they scudded, a film of green, crested by cottony white, across the hard sand to the young man's feet. He felt exhilarated. And his hunger returned. Then Mila's voice sounded near him.
Mila's words, almost imploring in their tone, calmed the infuriated inventor, who left the room. He reëntered in a moment, his head dripping, and he was grinning broadly. "Whenever I encounter a refractory pattern in my fireworks as you call them I am compelled to throw a bucket of water over it to quench its too ardent spirits. I have just done the same to my own head, dear Mr.
He looked very angry at first at being asked to go; but little Mila's eloquence conquered, and she led him in triumph back, holding on by his arm; but this time it was to prevent herself from being fairly lifted off her feet, and blown along over the ground. He made a somewhat unwilling salute to the two ladies, as he entered the room, while Mila dragged him up to the window.
Consumed by anxiety for Mila's safety, he wished that these soundless girandoles, this apocalypse of architectural fire and weaving flame, would end. He had not long to wait.

Mila was nowhere to be seen, and with a sinking at the heart new to his buoyant temperament, Gerald bade the magician good night. It was arranged that he would leave the next day, for, like Milton, he was haunted by "the ghost of a linen decency." But that night he did not sleep, and no sound of music came to his ears from Mila's chamber. Once he tried to open his window. It was nailed down.
"You forget that the directions of our chief forbid you to quit your tower; and what would he say, were he to hear that you had visited that of the stranger lady. He is certain to come back, and find you there." Nina had, however, so determined to satisfy her jealous suspicions, that she overruled all Mila's scruples.
He had great difficulty in keeping his arms pinioned to his side; but his eyes shone with the truth beating at the bars of his bosom, and Mila knew it. He felt this and was light-headed in his happiness. They greeted. Mila's face wore a serious expression. "I'm very glad you have come down. I think uncle will be glad also. I am happy to see you again; I have missed you these past weeks.
