Hazeldean, to make this advance upon any less valid security than that of the fortune to which Madame di Negra is entitled." "Ha! is this indeed so? You are a suitor for my sister's hand, Mr. Hazeldean?" "But not at this moment, not to owe her hand to the compulsion of gratitude," answered gentleman Frank. "Gratitude! And you do not know her heart, then?
The marchesa paused before she answered, and during that pause Randal relaxed the web of the scheme which he had been secretly weaving, and rapidly considered whether, if Beatrice di Negra would indeed be rich, she might answer to himself as a wife; and in what way, if so, he had best change his tone from that of friendship into that of love. While thus reflecting, Beatrice answered,
This black mask shall not always cover my face; when I come to see you, my name shall not always be Fatia Negra. The day will come when a carriage and four shall drive into your courtyard, a sabre-tashed heyduke will then leap from the box and open the silver-plated coach and a cavalier in cloth of gold will step out who comes to you as a suitor.
And so while he remained behind for the purpose of settling his account Anicza and Fatia Negra retired to a little adjoining chamber. There would be plenty of time for two lovers to talk over their love affairs while so many gold coins were being counted out. "Where have you been? it's a whole month since I saw you?" asked Anicza sitting on the adventurer's knee.
Here is my pocketbook, here are my jewels, and you shall have my watch too. See, I will draw off my rings, only don't touch me. But if possible let me keep this round ring for it is my wedding ring." "All that is nothing," whispered Fatia Negra, "nor do we want these things.
"I am much older than you, but not old enough for such formal ceremony. Pray call me L'Estrange." "Thank you; and I should indeed like to speak to you as a friend. There is a thought on my mind which haunts me. I dare say it is foolish enough, but I am sure you will not laugh at me. You heard what Madame di Negra said to me last night.
And now it was evening and the heavens were full of stars and Szilard began to gaze at the stars and as he did so he forgot all about the official burdens that weighed so heavily upon his shoulders, all about Fatia Negra and the robbers. He fancied that his eyes encountered among the stars the eyes of "another" whom slumber and happiness had deserted just as they had deserted him.
Fatia Negra burst through it and Szilard followed in the gap that he had made. Suddenly a hunting lodge came in view at least the antlers on the top of the porch and above the windows suggested that that was what it was intended for. One of the windows looking out upon the forest stood open.
The others tried to find a refuge in the aqueduct running through the cavern, but the pursuing alcohol rushed after them like a living cataract of fire. Everyone seemed bound to perish at this hellish marriage feast. Only two people did not lose their presence of mind; only two knew what ought to be done, and one of these was Fatia Negra.
On the other hand, if she will not marry him without the dowry and that depends on her brother's wedding this countrywoman and that countrywoman be, as I surmise, Violante, and Violante be this heiress, and to be won by me! Tush, tush. Such delicate scruples in a woman so placed and so constituted as Beatrice di Negra must be easily talked away.
