Naida passed her hand a little shyly through her companion's arm. "Isn't that rather a wonderful way to depart in search of happiness?" she murmured. He smiled down at her. "I do not think that we shall find the search very difficult, dear," he said, "though our feet may remain upon the earth." Naida's lip quivered for a moment.
The three expected guests arrived almost together, bringing with them, at any rate so far as Chalmers and Naida were concerned, an atmosphere of light-heartedness which was later on to make the little dinner party a complete success. Naida, too, was in black, a gown simpler than Maggie's but full of distinction. She wore no jewellery except a wonderful string of pearls.
What special benefit did he hope to gain from conferring with Naida Gillis? Hampton decided to have a face-to-face interview with the man himself; he was accustomed to fight his battles in the open, and to a finish. A faint hope, which had been growing dimmer and dimmer with every passing year, began to flicker once again within his heart.
How rude you are! only our third time of meeting, and you will not release my hand." "Not unless I must, Naida," and the deep ringing soberness of his voice startled the girl into suddenly uplifting her eyes to his face. What she read there instantly changed her mood from playfulness to earnest gravity. "Oh, please do not do not say what you are tempted to," her voice almost pleading.
Nigel made a stealthy but rapid movement forward, drawing Naida gently out of the way. Immelan was too quick, however. He swung around, showing the revolver which he had been concealing behind him, and moved to one side until his back was against one of the pillars.
But I will not lower you to that extent in my estimation; I prefer to believe that you are the true-hearted, frankly spoken girl of the vine shadow. It is this abiding conviction as to your true nature which holds me loyal to a test. Miss Naida, is it now your desire that I leave you?" He stepped aside, relinquishing her arm, his hat in hand, but she did not move from where he left her.
Afterward, if you should ever be in danger of discovery anywhere in the East, you will remember the passwords, which I shall teach you. "So I was branded with the mark of Fire-Tongue, and I spent my last night with Naida learning from her lips the words by which members of this order were enabled to recognize one another. In vain I entreated Naida to accompany me.
He could feel her quivering in his grasp; and, as she sobbed, slowly, slowly the fierce light faded from his eyes. "Naida, my Naida, forgive me," he whispered. She raised her face, looking up to him pathetically. "I came to you, I came to you," she moaned. "I promised long ago that I would come. What use is it, all this? You know, you know! Kill me if you like.
Naïda, with a flirt of her kilted skirts, had abruptly turned her back on him; yet he was miserably certain she was listening to her brother's merciless catechism. "I suppose you don't even know how to play hockey," commented Duane contemptuously. There was no answer. "What do you do? Play with dolls? Oh, what a molly!" Scott raised his head; he had grown quite white.
"Sententious and a trifle inaccurate," the Prince objected, with a sudden flash of his white teeth. "The beauty which is not for him has been many a man's undoing. But seriously, my quarrel with Naida is one of prejudice only.
