"I will do all I can, Granville." "It is not French, it is Moorish; it is called the Tangerine," said Theodora to her surrounding votaries. "You begin with a circle." "But how are we to dance without the music?" said Lady Montairy. "Ah! I wish I had known this," said Theodora, "before dinner, and I think I could have dotted down something that would have helped us.
As the word was uttered, there was a loud commotion, and Theodora burst into the room. She gave a cry on seeing the two boys, and rushed up joyfully to Harry Girdwood. "Thank Heaven you are safe," she said hysterically; "but my own brave boy, do you hear? Do you know that that bell sounds the death-knell of men who, bad and wicked as they are, have been wrongfully condemned?" "I know."
When Anne, who was slim and girlish and romantic, rose to go, Theodora, who was plump and middle-aged and practical, said, with a twinkle in her eye: "There isn't any hurry, child. Sit down and have your call out. You've seen Ludovic coming down the lane, and, I suppose, you think you'll be a crowd. But you won't.
One hour of bliss out of a lifetime! Would it be a terrible sin, Theodora wondered, a terrible, unforgivable sin to let him kiss her to let him hold her just once in his arms. There was no light in the coupé he had seen to that only the great lamps flaring in the road and the moonlight. She clasped her hands in an agony of emotion.
The next morning at the breakfast table Ellen, Theodora and grandmother began to speak of the lost bank book again. I think that Addison had already said something in private to the old Squire, and that they had come to an agreement as to the best course to pursue. "Don't fret, grandmother!" Addison cried, laughing. "The book's found! We found it late last night, after all the rest were in bed."
Then Violet ventured to ask if she was to thank her for the delicious geranium and heliotrope she had found in her room. 'Oh no! that is an attention of Harrison or Miss Piper, I suppose. 'Or? probably and? suggested Arthur. 'How does that go on? 'Take care, said Theodora, peeping out beyond the shadow of his broad shoulder.
Won't Dora be enough?" "Oh no! Why, that's hardly any of it. Dora is a pretty name, but Theodora is grand. If you forget part of it, remember the Theodora Gabrielle part. That is the best of it. Wouldn't you like to have me call you something else besides Tom? There are some awfully nice boys' names written in that Bible. Which did you think were the grandest?" "Oh, I like Ulysses first rate.
After a few moments she went out upon his arm, and then Cyril turned to me. "I think her," he replied, speaking, as was necessary, very low, "the embodiment of all that is evil in womanhood. In old days she would have been a Cleopatra, a Theodora, a Delilah. To-day, lacking opportunity, she is the 'smart woman' grubbing for an opening into society and old Fawley's daughter.
And so in these two boxes green jealousy held sway, and while Hector glared across at Theodora she smiled at Delaval Stirling, and spoke softly of the music and the voices, though her heart was torn with pain. "Do you see Hector Bracondale is back again, Delaval?" Mrs. Devlyn said. "Do you know why he stayed in Paris so long?
It was, of course, a terribly unwise thing that Theodora North decided upon doing an hour later. Only such a girl as she was, or as her life had necessarily made her, would have hit upon a plan so loving, so wild and indiscreet. But it did not occur to her, even for a second, that there was any other thing to do.
