The end of June and of the house party at Roya-Neh was now near at hand, and both were to close with a moonlight fête and dance in the forest, invitations having been sent to distant neighbours who had been entertaining similar gatherings at Iron Hill and Cloudy Mountain the Grays, Beekmans, Ellises, and Grandcourts.
And it is not mere restlessness that drives her into perpetual motion now; it's a new delight in living hard and with all her might every moment of the day!... She overdoes it; you will turn her energy into other channels. She's ready for you, I think." They drove on in silence for a few minutes, then swung into a broader avenue of pines. Straight ahead glimmered the lights of Roya-Neh.
I raised my right arm slowly, and drew with my forefinger a great circle in the air around us: "Brother! Listen attentively! Since a Sagamore has read the belt I yesterday delivered, the day-sun has circled us where we now stand. It is another day, O Roya-neh! In yonder fireplace new ashes whiten, new embers redden. Now my ears are open. Let the Sagamore of the Mohicans answer my belt delivered!
But he blames nobody except himself; and he's laying plans quite cheerfully for a career on a small income that really does not require the austerity and frugality he imagines. "One thing is certain; the town house is to be sold. My income is not sufficient to maintain it and Roya-Neh, and live as we do, and have anything left.
They had had one or two little scenes at Roya-Neh; the girl even hesitated, unquietly curious, perplexed at her own attitude, yet diffidently interested in the man. A straw was all that her balance required to incline it; Dysart dropped it, casually.
He thought a moment, squinted through his glasses, and continued writing the prescription which the receipt of the telegram from Roya-Neh had interrupted.
The Masked Dance was to begin at ten that evening; for that reason dinner had been served early at scores of small tables on the terrace, a hilarious and topsy-turvy, but somewhat rapid affair, because everybody required time for dressing, and already throughout the house maids and valets were scurrying around, unpacking masks and wigs and dainty costumes for the adorning of the guests at Roya-Neh.
It suits me. "Our love to you, to the little chatelaine of Roya-Neh, to her brother, to Kathleen. "Tell them we are married and off for Cape Town, but tell them no more. "B. Gray." "It isn't necessary to say burn this scrawl." Geraldine, watching him in calm speculation, said: "I don't see why they were married so quietly. Nobody's in mourning " "Dear?" "What, dear?" "Do something for me."
"Dear," she said, trying to speak cheerfully, "do you know what your brother has done?" "What?" asked Geraldine drowsily. "He has bought Roya-Neh, if you please, and he invites you to draw a check for half of it and to move there next week. As for me, I was furious with him. What do you think?" Her voice softened to a whisper; she bent over the girl, looking closely at the closed lids.
"Oh, come out and talk to a fellow," he urged; "I'm quite excited about this Roya-Neh business " "You're a perfect wretch, Scott. I don't want to talk about your unholy extravagance." The boy laughed and stood at ease looking at the pretty face partly disclosed between door and wall with darkness for a velvety background.
