So shall you become Queen of the Greeks their intercessor the restorer and protector of their Church and worship so shall you be placed in a way to serve God purely and unselfishly; and if a thirst for glory has ever moved you, O Princess, I present it to you a cupful larger than woman ever drank.... You may reside here or in Therapia, and keep your private chapel and altar, and choose whom you will to serve them.
And he smiled with the evident intention of being agreeable to a valuable client. Dion did not badger him with any more questions. As the boat touched the quay he told the man to be ready to start for Therapia that day at any time after three o'clock. When he reached the summer villa of the Ambassador he was informed by a tall English footman that Lady Ingleton was at home.
"First, Syama told me you were at some particular task, and I wanted to know if I could help you." "Dear heart!" he said, tenderly. "Next and this is all I did not want you to forget we are to go up the Bosphorus this afternoon up to Therapia, and possibly to the sea." "You wish to go?" he asked. "I dreamt of it all night."
After the visit to Therapia, however, love reenforced ambition; or rather the two passions possessed Mahommed, and together they murdered his sleep. He became impatient and irritable; the days were too short, the months too long. Constantinople absorbed him. He thought of nothing else waking, and dreamed of nothing else.
There the little Jewess was received, while he took boat and hurried to Therapia. The Princess came down, and under her roof, Lael found sympathy, rest, and safety. In due time also Uel's last testament reached her, with the purse of jewels left by the Prince of India, and she then assumed guardianship of the bereaved girl. It is now the middle of February, 1451.
"Thou knowest I regard the Princess Irene as my little mother. I wish to go and see her." "At Therapia?" "Yes, Father." The Hegumen averted his eyes, and by the twitching of the fingers clasped upon his breast exposed a trouble at work in the depths of his mind. "My son," he at length said, "I knew the father of the Princess Irene, and was his sympathizer.
Happy indeed is the Constantinopolitan whose income commands a summer villa in Therapia, or at any of the many desirable locations in plain view within this earthly paradise of blue waves and sunny slopes, and a yacht in which to wing his flight whenever and wherever fancy bids him go.
In a calmness of spirit such as follows absolution, he finally sallied from the Monastery, and ere long arrived at the landing outside the Fish Market Gate on the Golden Horn. The detentions had been long; so for speed he selected a two-oared boat. "To Therapia by noon," he said to the rower, and, dropping into the passenger's box, surrendered himself to reflection.
"Nor can I convey an idea of the confidence and comfortable feeling I derived from the society of thy daughter," she added, speaking to the Prince, but looking at Lael. "She was courageous and sensible, and I cannot content myself until she is my guest at Therapia." "I would be greatly pleased," Lael said, modestly. "Will the Princess appoint a time?" the Wanderer asked.
The sun rose high and fell through the rustling leaves in fanciful warm tracery of light; down from the Bosphorus the sweet northerly breeze came over the rippling water, laden with the scent of orange-blossoms from the Asian shore and with the perfume of late roses from far Therapia.
