But in the end the figure of "the eternal mother," as typified by Thalassa, is more powerful than is Sappho, in the struggle for Phaon's love. Thus Aphrodite asserts her unwillingness to have love refined into a merely spiritual conception.
You're letting her remain under suspicion of her father's death, in hiding in London, hunted by the police. Yet she believed in you. It was she who sent me to you, it was she who said: 'Tell Thalassa from me to tell the truth, if he knows it. Is she mistaken in you, Thalassa? Do you think more of your own skin than her safety?"
"As you've told me this story you'd better leave it in my hands, and not go looking for anybody with that knife of yours." "What be you going to do?" "I must go to Scotland Yard and tell them your story. It's the only chance." "And get me into trouble?" "There's not much fear of that. In any case, you must stand that, for Sisily's sake." Thalassa nodded his acquiescence.
I was about to thwart a madman with a fixed idea, in a lonely house where he had in his service another man who could be depended on to make common cause against me when he knew the truth. I was not afraid of Robert Turold, but I was of Thalassa. I knew he was strong enough to hurl me through the window into the sea. These elements in the situation called for caution.
"They went on snarling and showing their teeth, but not biting," continued Thalassa, "sorting out the little stones all right, but quarrelling over the bigger. There was two the biggest in the bunch by far which they kept putting aside because they couldn't agree about the sharing of them.
"xunômosan gar, ontes echtistoi to prin, pur kai thalassa " Fancy the well-iced conventionalities of the one brought in contact with the other's savage temperament, maddened by baffled desires and the sense of shameful defeat. Before noon the next day it was announced to Lady Catharine, at Kerton Manor, that Bruce was waiting for her in the drawing-room.
Barrant regarded that as a regrettable oversight. It was always important to know the exact time when a murder was committed. Thalassa said that the hood clock was going and kept excellent time, but the value of that secondary testimony was impaired by the fact that Thalassa might not be telling the truth. On the other hand, there was certain presumptive evidence which suggested that he was.
"I should be sorry to part with you, Thalassa, you must be well aware of that. It is my intention to purchase a portion of the family estate at Great Missenden, which is at present in the market, and spend the remainder of my life in the place which once belonged to my ancestors. That has been the dream of my life, and I shall soon be able to carry it out."
I was standing outside, considering what I would say to my uncle, when the door opened and she and Thalassa came out." "Did you not speak to them?" "I went to do so, but they disappeared in the darkness of the moors before I could reach them. I hastened after them, but I got off the road track and wandered about the moors for nearly half an hour before I could find my way back to Flint House."
"Better be careful yersel' getting back to London. The police here is watching for you. They've been a' Flint House more than once, looking for both of you." "It's a risk I must take, nevertheless," said the young man, rising from his seat as he spoke. "It's for Sisily's sake. Good-bye, Thalassa, and thank you for what you've told me." Thalassa did not reply or offer to accompany him.
