But she began to believe that she should sympathize with Russ instead of being vexed with him. He did look so serious when he was not talking. The evening wore on. The moon rose and silvered the almost pond-like sea through which the Kammerboy steamed. Even the children were impressed by the beauty of the seascape.
For the room was a work of art in itself, an Adams room, with carved white panels, framing spaces of rich brocade, delicately tinted, on the walls; with furniture chosen for comfort as well as elegance, and no more of it than was absolutely necessary, no crowding of chairs and tables, no congestion of useless ornaments, no plethora of pictures, putting each other out only two, in fact, one a summer seascape, with tiny waves bursting on shining sands; the other a corner of a beautiful old garden, shady with trees, glowing with flowers, whence two young lovers, sitting on an old stone seat, looked out with dreamy eyes on a bright glimpse, framed in foliage, of the peaceful country beyond.
A grotesque and dreadful suspicion took me. While Trewlove tortured himself to my model, was I, by painful degrees, exchanging brains with him? I laughed; but I was unhinged. I had been smoking too many cigarettes during these three weeks, and the vampire thought continued to flit obscenely between me and the pure seascape.
Perhaps it is not too much to say that more than a hundred and twenty miles of this coast were practically a chain of country houses. The shore of the Bay of Naples has been compared to a collar of pearls strung round the blue. Wherever there was a wide and varied landscape or seascape, there arose a Roman country house.
From where Madden painted on the corner of the dock, he had a good view of these chasing waves that rose a moment in the gray seascape, nodded a white cap, then dropped back into the waste of water. "Wonder if a storm would affect this old box much?" he queried of Caradoc. "Probably have a chance to see," opined Smith, looking out with a speculative eye. "By the by, what's that?"
Has it been either an interpretation or a revelation of something? Shall we remember it?" "But is not simple beauty sometimes a revelation, Mr. Sumner?" asked Barbara, "as in a landscape, or seascape, or the painting of a child's face?"
He had fine, calm, quietly observant eyes, which were pleasantly employed in contemplating the beauty of that summer seascape an opalescent ocean, and islands slumbering in the July haze.
The real marine sky that green blue with white clouds as soft as the very foam they roll over, gave the day a finish fit for the true artist's eye, but Cleo and Grace did not stop to admire the tints and tones, whether marine or general seascape.
Rather a picturesque object in the seascape, but, of course, utterly valueless except for occasional picnic uses a bit of No Man's Land whose purpose in the economy of nature had hitherto remained unfulfilled. But now? "I went back to the piazza and caught up a pair of stereo-binoculars that were lying on the table.
The curves became long, sweeping stretches of sandy bays, fringed with other curves of breaking rollers; and as the picture grew more distinct, one great circle embraced a whole perfect picture of land and seascape land dusky and forest-covered in the southward half; and the misty sea, island-dotted, wind-whipped, and foam-flecked, to the northward.
