Meanwhile, Ronald had another interest on hand which to his enthusiastic nature seemed directly imposed upon him by the finger of Providence to provide a home and occupation for poor Selah, whom Herbert had cast aside as a legacy to him.
I went there and rested awhile, but saw the consul, Selah Merrill, at his hotel, where I also met Mrs. Merrill, and formed a favorable opinion of both of them. Here I left my belt, checks, and surplus money in the care of the consul. Continuing my walk on Wednesday, I passed one of the numerous threshing floors of the country.
That was the difference. Footsteps sounded upon the gravel. The figure of a man, tall, slender, regnant, was swinging up the walk. Selah did not move. She was that fairest thing in a darkened world, the presence achieved when a woman combines herself with silence, stillness, and moonlight. The man sprang lightly up the steps. "Hush!" she whispered, "don't ring the bell!"
No man can be but consider what will happen if you refuse?" "What will happen?" she exclaimed. "You must pass the remainder of your days, the sweetest, most beautiful years of a woman's life, in intimate daily contact with a suffragist, with a young woman who votes like a man!" "God help me! What do you mean?" she cried in genuine alarm. "Bob's going to marry Selah! that's what I mean.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
"Can't you see that is provided for? If he forbade you the house, you still have twelve hundred dollars a year, which is certainly more than he could afford to give you." "That isn't it: he can't do without me, he needs me." "Listen to me, Selah! Men have been our little children for so long that we do not know how to wean them.
'No, no, he said falteringly, turning to Selah; 'you must be mistaken. This is not Mr. Walters. This is my brother, Herbert Le Breton. Selah gazed into Herbert's slinking eyes with a concentrated expression of scorn and disgust. 'Then he gave me a false name, she said, slowly, fronting him like a tigress. 'He gave me a false name, it seems, from the very beginning.
I'm not going to take the bread out of her mouth, and I'm not going to marry a man who doesn't utterly and entirely love me. 'But I do, Ronald answered, earnestly; 'I do, Selah; I love you truly and faithfully from the very bottom of my heart. 'Leave off, Roland, Selah said in the same angry tone.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
Mae heard indistinctly the sweep of trailing skirts, the sound of footsteps on the marble floor, the noise of voices as the people went away, but still she did not move. The selah pause had come after the psalm. When she did rise, and turn, and start to go, her eyes fell on the kneeling form. She tried to pass quickly without recognition, but he reached out his hand.
