A Nubian colonel called on us one morning; he strongly advised us to stop before it was too late. He had heard much about Theodore's doings, and assured us that we would meet but with deceit and treachery at his hands. On our telling him that we were officers and bound to obey, he said, nothing more, but bid us good-by in a sorrowful voice.
On June 8 in the same year his remains were translated to Euchaia, the burial-place of the family, and the town at once became so famous as a shrine that its name was changed to Theodoropolis. As late as 970 the patronage of the Saint gave the Emperor John I a victory over the Saracens, and in gratitude the emperor rebuilt the church where Theodore's relics were preserved.
There is a wooden cross with his name, and a Latin inscription on it, marking Count Theodore's grave, by our old church on the edge of the forest. No one ever inquired after him, and the company of that terrible night are far scattered. My uncle and his sons all died for the poor country. The young cousins are married to German doctors in Berlin.
"I remember her Theodore's wife," Chris said, eager to help her. "And she was this girl's mother," Mrs. Melrose added, clasping Norma's fingers. "You understand that, Chris?" "Yes, darling we understand!" Norma said, with a nod to Chris that he was to humour her. But Chris looked only strangely troubled.
"I believe Miss Clinton is right, after all," remarked Temple's companion. "What is the use of jesting on such subjects? We never feel any better after it, and we subject ourselves to the displeasure of those who respect these things. I pass my word to give it up, if you will, Temple." "Agreed!" was Theodore's brief answer.
"I'll land him in prison, if he doesn't pull out of it now," said Garrison, angered as much by Theodore's diabolical cleverness as he was by this premature publicity given to the story. "He has carried it all with a mighty high hand, assured of our fear to take the business into court.
"Stop! stop!" cried Matilda, "it is my father!" Manfred, waking as from a trance, beat his breast and twisted his hands in his locks. Theodore's cries quickly drew some monks to his aid, among them Father Jerome. "Now, tyrant," said Jerome, "behold the completion of woe fulfilled on thy impious head!" "Cruel man!" cried Matilda, "to aggravate the woes of a parent!"
A knock at the door interrupted Theodore's lesson on the Love of God. "It's about time the poor thing was put to bed," suggested the housekeeper, looking in. "I dare say he's tired." "I dare say he is," said Theodore mechanically. "Good night, little boy. What used they to call you?" "Reuben." "Good night, little Reuben." And he was taken away.
She looked forward to it with a certain relief. The weather had turned unseasonably warm, as Chicago Octobers sometimes do. Up to the last moment she had tried to shake Theodore's determination to take Mizzi and Otti with him. But he was stubborn. "I've got to have her," he said.
