Of course, I've always liked Marsham, and I'm very sorry he's got himself into such a mess. But as for Alicia, there's no love lost between us. I hear Miss Mallory's at Beechcote." Lady Niton replied that she had only been three days in the house, that she had asked ostentatiously for a carriage the day before to take her to call at Beechcote, and had been refused.
Her companion glanced at her lifted her eyebrows hesitated and finally put the letter back into her pocket. There was an awkward silence, when Diana suddenly returned to Lady Niton's side. "Where is Miss Drake?" she said, sharply. "Is the marriage put off?" "Marriage!" Lady Niton laughed. "Alicia and Oliver? H'm. I don't think we shall hear much more of that!" "I thought it was settled."
She waved to her own coachman to be off, and stood awaiting Diana. "How do you do, Miss Mallory? Are you invited? I'm not." Diana descended, and they shook hands. They had not met since the evening at Tallyn when Diana, in her fresh beauty, had been the gleaming princess, and Lady Niton the friendly godmother, of so promising a fairy tale.
The periods of most of the radioactive substances have been calculated, that of uranium being very long. The calculated period of radium is 2,500 years, while that of polonium is only 202 days, and that of niton 5.6 days. The discussion of the details of these theories would be unprofitable.
Lady Niton looked at him with a queer expression of contempt in her tanned and crumpled face. "Is that the only reason you can imagine for my not permitting you to talk of Diana Mallory in this house?" Bobbie, looked puzzled. Then a light broke. "I see! You mean the house isn't good enough? Precisely! What's up. Alicia? No!" Lady Niton laughed.
It was a drawing of the chestnut woods of Vallombrosa, in the first flush and glitter of spring, with a corner of one of the monastic buildings, now used as a hotel. She was there. At an official crush the night before he had heard Chide say to Lady Niton that Miss Mallory had written to him from Vallombrosa, and was hoping to stay there till the end of June.
All that was necessary for his career as a great advocate he could possess himself of in the twinkling of an eye; his natural judgment and acuteness were of the first order; his powers of eloquence among the most famous of his time; but it is doubtful whether Lady Niton would have found him much better informed about the politics of her youth than Barton himself; Sir James, too, was hazy about Louis Philippe, and could never remember, in the order of Prime Ministers, whether Canning or Lord Liverpool came first.
Lady Niton could see the extreme delicacy to which the profile had fined down, the bluish or purple shadows here and there on the white skin. Something glittered in the old woman's eyes. She put out a hand from the queer flounced mantle, made out of an ancient evening dress, in which she was arrayed, and touched Diana's. "You know you've heard about those poor things at Tallyn?"
Poor Nature is drenched and drowned; perhaps never better described than by that inveterate bard of Cockaigne, Captain Morris: Oh! it settles the stomach when nothing is seen But an ass on a common, or goose on a green. We were once overtaken by such weather in a pedestrian tour through the Isle of Wight, when just then about to leave Niton for a geological excursion to the Needles.
We can tell how the elements of high atomic weight, such as uranium and thorium, are constantly giving off particles and are thus by loss or decomposition being changed over into other elements, such as radium, niton, polonium and lead.
