'Surely it is. 'Well, then, open this door; there leave it just ajar. And now, Sosia, give me the lamp. 'What, you will not extinguish it? 'No; but I must breathe my spell over its ray. There is a spirit in fire. Seat thyself. The slave obeyed; and Nydia, after bending for some moments silently over the lamp, rose, and in a low voice chanted the following rude:
"You know my sentiments about her. They don't come no ace-higher." She colored, even quivered, standing there beside the bronze Nydia. "I tell her we're out for big business to-night, Joe." "Sky's the limit. Picked up a pin pointin' toward me and sat with my back to a red-headed woman. Can't lose." "Well, good-night, Babe. Take care o' yourself." "Good night, Blutch. You'll play 'em close, honey?"
Each picture was shown twice, but it was ail too short for the enthusiastic audience, which applauded so vociferously that Frank was obliged to step before the curtain and announce that owing to lack of time no encores could be given. Then followed representations of celebrated paintings; the Girl with the Muff, a pathetic Nydia, and the charming little Dutch girl holding a cat.
Suddenly the bolts were again withdrawn the door unclosed; Arbaces was in the open street; and poor Nydia once more started from her long watch. 'Wilt thou save him? she cried, clasping her hands. 'Child, follow me home; I would speak to thee it is for his sake I ask it. 'And thou wilt save him?
It reminds me of Nydia, the blind girl who piloted a bunch out of Pompeii because she was used to the darkness. Still, Brainard is hardly a parallel." "Were his glasses the ordinary kind, or pebbles?" "Don't know. Which are the cheapest? That's the kind." "The ordinary kind." "Well, he had the ordinary kind like himself. And he'll get special promotion. Oh, Lord!
He who is more sensitive than the herd will discover them easily: when he has done so, let him keep the secret. They sat down, and Nydia, glad to be alone, retired to the farther end of the garden. 'Ione, my sister, said the young convert, 'place your hand upon my brow; let me feel your cool touch. Speak to me, too, for your gentle voice is like a breeze that hath freshness as well as music.
But there was one who, by accident, had become aware of the nature of the spells cast by Arbaces upon his visitors, and who was to be the humble means of saving lone from his toils. This was the blind flower-girl Nydia. Of Thessalian extraction, and gentle nurture, Nydia had been stolen and sold into the slavery of an ex-gladiator named Burbo, a relative of the false priest Calenus.
In passing by the threshold he again encountered Nydia, who had finished her graceful task. She knew his step on the instant. 'You are early abroad? said she. 'Yes; for the skies of Campania rebuke the sluggard who neglects them. 'Ah, would I could see them! murmured the blind girl, but so low that Glaucus did not overhear the complaint.
The enamoured Greek would not let Nydia escape him, though she sought several times to leave the chamber; he made her recite to him over and over again every syllable of the brief conversation that had taken place between her and Ione; a thousand times, forgetting her misfortune, he questioned her of the looks, of the countenance of his beloved; and then quickly again excusing his fault, he bade her recommence the whole recital which he had thus interrupted.
Nydia colored slightly. 'Because, she replied, coldly, 'I have always imagined you under different forms, and one likes to know one is right. 'And what hast thou imagined Glaucus to resemble? asked Ione, softly. 'Music! replied Nydia, looking down. 'Thou art right, thought Ione. 'And what likeness hast thou ascribed to Ione?
