Margaret opened her lovely eyes, and looked at her for her meaning. This was only the first of many visits. In fact either Margaret Van Eyck or Reicht came nearly every day until their patient was convalescent; and she improved rapidly under their hands.
And there was a deep, dogged determination in Margaret's voice and brow that at once convinced Catherine it would be idle to put any more questions at that time, She and Reicht lost themselves in conjectures; and Catherine whispered Reicht, "Bide quiet; then 'twill leak out;" a shrewd piece of advice, founded on general observation.
1474 there was a wedding in Margaret's house, Luke Peterson and Reicht Heynes. This may seem less strange if I give the purport of the dialogue interrupted some time back. Margaret went on to say, "Then in that case you can easily make him fancy you, and for my sake you must, for my conscience it pricketh me, and I must needs fit him with a wife, the best I know."
See this well-shaped brow, where comliness Just passeth into reverence. Art beautiful in my eyes, mother dear." "And that is enough for me, my darling, 'Tis time you were in bed, child. Ye have to preach the morn." And Reicht Heynes and Catherine interchanged a look which said, "We two have an amiable maniac to superintend; calls everything beautiful."
I am no great hand at a keyhole for my part, 'tis paltry work; but if so be voices were a talking in yon cave, and them that owned those voices were so near to me as those are to thee, I'd go on all fours like a fox, and I'd crawl on my belly like a serpent, ere I'd lose one word that passes atwixt those twain." "Whisht, Reicht! Bless thee! Bide thou here. Buss me! Pray for me!"
With Margaret the person who occupied her thoughts at the time ceased to have a name, and sank to a pronoun. Reicht soon found an excuse for taking little Gerard out, and there was a scene of mutual rapture, followed by mutual tears when mother and boy parted again. And it was arranged that Reicht should take him half way to Rotterdam every day, at a set hour, and Margaret meet them.
But it is Reicht Heynes I blame for humouring the old woman and letting her do it; as for the old woman herself, she dotes, she has lost her head, she is fourscore. Oh, my heart, I'm choking. For all that she ought to be locked up, or her hands tied.
I have thought too little of thy pangs, whose true affection I despised; and now my own is despised, Reicht, if the poor lad was here now, he would have a good chance." "Well, he is not far off," said Reicht Heynes; but somehow she did not say it with alacrity. "Speak not to me of any man," said Margaret bitterly; "I hate them all." "For the sake of one?"
Then Margaret Van Eyck gave him a little brush gold, and some vermilion and ultramarine, and a piece of good vellum to lay them on. He almost adored her. As he left the house Reicht ran after him with a candle and two quarters: he quite kissed her. But better even than the gold and lapis-lazuli to the illuminator was the sympathy to the isolated enthusiast.
"I have it not to give," said the elder lady, rather peevishly. "Then I can," said Reicht Heynes, showing herself in the doorway, with colour somewhat heightened. "So you have been hearkening all the time, eh?" "What are my ears for, mistress?" "True. Well, throw us the light of thy wisdom on this dark matter." "There is no darkness that I see," said Reicht.
