At first he refused to have anything to do with me, but when I mentioned Pauline's name, he asked me what concern I had with her. "She is my wife," I replied. "Your wife!" he shouted. "You lie!" I rose furiously, and bade him choose his words more carefully. After a few moments he apologised, asking me whether Ceneri knew of our marriage.
She still clings to her childish belief that streaky bacon comes from feeding the pigs one day and not the next. Every one, like Mrs. Blankley, had a thirst to see something, and I was left alone with Aunt Anna, to discuss Pauline's wedding.
Lord Pembroke took possession of the lady, whom I did not think worthy of being compared to Pauline. She was paler and shorter, and utterly deficient in Pauline's noble air; besides, when she smiled it spoiled her face, and this is a defect in a woman, to whom laughter should always be becoming.
The change in his face was too slight for her to notice it, but there was a change. His lips moved as though he were repeating the name to himself. "And why should Pauline's coming affect the situation?" he asked. She shook her head. "You say nice things to me," she declared, looking at him reproachfully, "but only when Pauline isn't here.
He, away off in Foray, used to talk about the forms and colors of sounds, as if he knew about them; and he had not learned the talk in any school. He would have done no injury to transcendentalism. And he was a happy man, in that the persons before whom he indulged in this manner of speech rather encouraged it. Never had his Pauline's pride and fondness failed Adolphus the Drummer.
A moment he yielded to the natural relief, then dashed his tears away and threw himself at Pauline's feet in that attitude fit only for a race as graceful as impassioned. "Forgive me! Take all I have fortune, name, and my poor self; use us as you will, we are proud and happy to be spent for you!
"They are gone," she murmured. And folding Blanche in her embrace, she returned to her chamber. "Don't cry, little godmother," said Blanche, throwing her arms around Pauline's neck. "Grandfather told me he would come for me before morning." Just then the muffled tread of soldiers was heard along the street, and low words of command reached the listening ears of Pauline.
She flung herself on the ground at Pauline's feet. "I has quite made up my mind for ever and ever," she said. "Not even lions will drag it from me." "What?" asked Pauline. "Why, all that I know: about who stole the thimble, and about the picnic on the birthday, and about what Briar and Patty did, and about you, Paulie, and all your wicked, wicked ways.
Mercifully there are Pauline's in this world to relieve one of unsought affections, and I liked Dick Dudley well enough, and not too much to be glad when I saw him give ever such a small start when he walked into my drawing-room and saw Pauline sitting there, clothed in cool green linen and looking her very best.
"You can leave me, Renny. I am a very bad girl; I don't pretend I am anything else, but I won't talk to you now." "Oh!" said poor Verena. "Oh!" Before she reached the door of the room she had burst into tears. Her agony was so great at Pauline's behavior to her that her tears became sobs, and her sobs almost cries of pain. Pauline, lying on the bed, did not take the least notice of Verena.
