In Paris, Thelma's wardrobe was completed a certain Madame Rosine, famous for "artistic arrangements," was called into requisition, and viewing with a professional eye the superb figure and majestic carriage of her new customer, rose to the occasion in all her glory, and resolved that Miladi Bruce-Errington's dresses should be the wonder and envy of all who beheld them.
Two or three pale-blue butterflies danced drowsily in and out a cluster of honeysuckle that trailed downwards, nearly touching Thelma's shoulder, and a diminutive black kitten, with a pink ribbon round its neck, sat gravely on the garden path, washing its face with its tiny velvety paws, in that deliberate and precise fashion, common to the spoiled and petted members of its class.
You'll find that an awful mistake, he'll get tired to death of you, sweet little Griselda though you are!" Thelma's face grew very pale, and her hand closed more tightly on the fan she held. "You have said that so very, very often lately, Clara!" she murmured. "You seem so sure that he will get tired that all men get tired.
He adored my wife; I have known him listen for hours to catch the sound of her footstep; he would actually deck the threshold with flowers in the morning that she might tread on them as she passed by." The old bonds sighed and rubbed his hand across his eyes with a gesture half of pain, half of impatience "And now he is Thelma's slave, a regular servant to her.
But it was something more than mere fatigue that made Thelma's eyes look sometimes so anxious, so gravely meditative and earnest. One day she seemed so much abstracted and lost in painful musings that Britta's loving heart ached, and she watched her for some moments without venturing to say a word. At last she spoke out bravely "Froeken!" she paused, Thelma seemed not to hear her.
Van Clupp tabooed several of her own blood-relations and former intimate acquaintances? . . . for the very sensible reason that while she had grown richer, they had grown poorer. But now Mrs. Rush-Marvelle sailed up in all her glory, with her good-natured smile and matronly air. She was a privileged person, and she put her arm round Thelma's waist.
And to this flower-crushing task Lady Winsleigh set herself, partly for malice pretense against Errington, whose coldness to herself in past days had wounded her vanity, and partly for private jealousy of Thelma's beauty and attractiveness.
Ulrika's heart beat thickly her face flushed she advanced to Thelma's bedside, hoping, fearing, she knew not what.
She went to the fire, and began to pour out some nourishing soup, which she always had there in readiness, and while she was thus engaged, Thelma's brain cleared more and more, till with touching directness, and a new hope flushing her face, she asked softly and beseechingly for her child. "I forgot!" she said simply and sweetly. "Of course I am not alone any more.
When our bodies crumble away and turn to flowers and birds and butterflies, and our souls come out like white and red flames, yes! . . . then we shall love each other and talk of such strange, strange things!" He paused and laughed wildly. Then his voice sank again into melancholy monotony and he added: "Mistress, you are killing poor Sigurd!" Thelma's face grow very earnest and anxious.
