Madame, in particular, was evidently much upset, and expressed her angry agitation in a dead language that seemed positively to live again in fear and novelty of grammatical construction. Sir Tiglath had been a brilliant card to play in the prophetic game, although he had not achieved the Prophet's purpose of stopping the telegraphic flood.
"Hush!" said the Prophet fiercely. "Sir Tiglath," he added, turning towards the puffing astronomer, "you can enter. My grandmother must have been right." "Your grandmother?" said Lady Enid, with eager inquisitiveness. "She informed me that the ruffian was in the house and had attempted to make away with her " "Dear me! this is most interesting!" interposed Lady Enid.
I always have thought ill of the last, but that's nothin' to do with it. Weigh me in the balance against five planets are they all planets? and how do the scales go? You see, Hennessey!" The Prophet looked much distressed. He saw his beloved grandmother by the fire and the bright stars twinkling through the frosty window-panes. He thought of his telescope, of Sir Tiglath, of Mr.
Meanwhile the Prophet had made a warning face at Mr. Sagittarius, who suddenly remembered his danger and subsided, glancing uneasily at Sir Tiglath, whose intention of addressing him had been momentarily interfered with by a sweetbread masked in a puree of spinach.
"Aren't we?" replied the Prophet, feebly. "No. I must see Sir Tiglath Butt to-day. I want you to take me to his door." "Where is his door?" "In Kensington Square. Do you mind hailing a four-wheeler. We can talk privately there. No one will hear us." The Prophet hailed a growler, wondering whether they would be able to hear each other.
Didn't I say, only this afternoon, that we must at once take a four-wheeler to Sir Tiglath's?" "Yes, you did," said the Prophet, in a muffled voice. "For I knew that no investigation, no serious, reverent investigation into heavenly, that is starry, conditions could be indifferent to you, Sir Tiglath."
"Oh, then you mustn't," said the Prophet, glancing furtively at the clock. "Had you come out to be silly yesterday afternoon?" "Yes, I had to be sillier even than usual. And if it hadn't been for Sir Tiglath catching sight of me in the avenue, and then Mr. Sagittarius and you being in the parlour " She stopped.
"Because I realised yesterday that you must be almost as silly by nature as I am." "Yesterday why? When?" "When you said to Sir Tiglath that you could prophesy." The Prophet stiffened. She laughed almost affectionately. "So absurd! But I was vexed when you said you'd give it up. You mustn't do that, or you'll be flying in the face of your own folly."
Merillia were weeping in each other's arm's while Sir Tiglath and Gustavus just returned to consciousness were engaged in examining the proceeding with puppy dog's eyes. Over the explanations that ensued a veil may be partially drawn.
"I was originally led to study stars, Sir Tiglath, because I had the honour to meet you and make your acquaintance," said the Prophet, valiantly. The astronomer lapsed at once into his first manner. "In what fair company did the old astronomer converse with the young man?" he cried. "His memory faileth him. He doteth and cannot recall the great occasion."
