On the last evening, Michael, Noémi, and Therese sat all three after supper on the little bench outside, and Michael remembered that they had once been four together there. "What can that moon really be?" asked Noémi. Michael's hand, which Noémi held in hers, was clinched with sudden violence. "My evil star," he thought to himself. "Oh, if I had never seen it, that red crescent!"
Noémi hastened out to fetch it, as it was kept ready. The invalid swallowed it, and said he felt the better for it. Noémi seemed delighted at the good news. "Well, and what is Dodi doing?" asked Michael. Noémi trembled lest he should see the throbs of her heart at the question. "He is asleep," she replied, gently. "Asleep? But why asleep now? He is not ill?" "Oh, no; he is all right."
"Then who has looked after you and provided you so well with traveling comforts?" asked Noémi. "Who but our Herr Johann Fabula?" "Oh, the honest steersman! is he here too?" "He is loading the ship on the other bank." Therese guessed Timar's thought, but she would not be behind him in delicate tact. She wished to show him that she had no scruple about leaving him alone with Noémi.
Noemi related hurriedly, standing the while for she was anxious to leave again on account of the lateness of the hour that while Giovanni and Maria were at the Grand Hôtel, Professor Mayda, just back from Naples, had come to their house, perfectly furious, and demanding an explanation of Benedetto's disappearance from his house.
And by what right do you deny her to me? Am I not Noémi's betrothed, who would make her my legal wife and bring her to honor, while you can never marry her, and can only make her unhappy?" The man drops boiling oil on Timar's heart: he wrung his hands in agony. "Will you write to Noémi, or shall I take these four letters over to the cloister?"
If only one or other were an every-day creature, so that he could hate and despise her or buy her off! But both were equally nobly gifted: the fate of both was so heavy a charge against the author of it, that no excuse existed. How could he tell Timéa who Noémi was, or Noémi about Timéa?
"He whom the child calls father." "And what is his name?" "Michael." "What is his surname?" "I never asked him." "What! you never asked his name? What do you know of him?" "I know he is an honest man, and loves Noémi." "But what is he? A gentleman, a peasant, a workman, a sailor, or a smuggler?" "He is a poor man, suited to us." "And what else? I must know, for it is part of my duty.
They were both of them drunk, quite drunk, little Baroness Andrée de la Fraisières and little Countess Noemi de Gardens. They had been dining alone together, in the large room which faced the sea. The soft breeze of a summer evening blew in at the open window, soft and fresh at the same time, a breeze that smelt of the sea.
Noémi grew angry with Narcissa, and seized her by the tail to draw her back. Narcissa took offense, turned her claws on her mistress, and scratched her hand. Timéa wore on her wrist a blue enameled bracelet in the form of a serpent.
I must lie down." Noémi hastened to make up a bed for him in the inner room, and helped him to undress. With anxiety she noticed that Michael's hands were cold and his breath burning. Frau Therese felt his forehead, and advised him to cover himself well, for he was going to have ague. But Michael had the sensation that something worse was at hand.
