To bring you news of Laban?" "Not so. Laban has fled away and none know where he is, and Jabez has only escaped much trouble as the uncle of a traitress by undertaking this mission." "What is the mission?" "To pray me, if I would save myself from death and the vengeance of God, to work upon the heart of his Highness, which I know not how to do " "Yet I think you might find means, Merapi."
The mention of the name of that abominable traitress was interdicted at Villa Ricciardi, he said; she had dragged him at two armies' tails to find his right senses at last: Pericles was cured of his passion for her at last. He had been mad, but he was cured and so forth, in the old strain.
This time Ludovine thought to herself that when once the horns had departed, she would call her attendants and take the things from the doctor by force. She was greatly pleased with this idea, when suddenly the pretended physician wrapped himself in the cloak, flung away the wig and spectacles, and showed to the traitress the face of the Little Soldier. She stood before him dumb with fright.
"But that does not excuse you for accusing me of harbouring them, and coming to my house as if I were a traitress." The sergeant, however, was evidently persuaded, notwithstanding Madame La Roche's evasion, that the fugitives had been at the house, if they were not there still, and he insisted, with due respect to her, that it was his duty to make a thorough search.
Look, traitress, here is poison and here is bronze, and I swear to you that should any lay a hand upon me, by one or other of them I will die before their eyes. Then, if you will, bear these bones to Ithobal and take his thanks for them.
At my age such treason should not have astonished me, but my vanity would not allow me to admit the fact. I dissembled my feelings and caressed the traitress, and then leaving the house I went to the theatre where I played with some success and returned home while the second act was in progress; it was still daylight.
"Ah! traitress! then it was all planned," Sir Francis thought; "and, blind owl that I am, I have fallen into the snare." But the poor knight was nearly at his wit's end with fright, when he saw Lord Roos quit his place at the upper table and approach him. How Lord Roos obtained Sir Francis Mitchell's signature.
And lastly, the ogress called to the dog, saying, "Bite the rogue!" But the dog answered: "I'll not hurt a hair of her head, For she it was who gave me the bread." Now as Parmetella ran crying after the instruments, she met Thunder-and-Lightning, who scolded her well, saying, "Traitress, will you not learn at your cost that by your fatal curiosity you are brought to this plight?"
Looking back for an instant, I saw her step forward; perhaps to stop him, perhaps to speak to him. The effort was too much for her strength; she staggered back against the trunk of a tree. Like strangers, walking separate one from the other, we left her to her companion the hideous traitress who was my enemy and her friend.
"Nay, my pretty captive, struggle not why should you fear?" "I do not struggle, my lord. As you are pleased to detain me, I will not, by striving, provoke you to use me ill, and give pain to yourself, when you have time to think." "Why, thou traitress, thou hast held me captive for months," said the Prince, "and wilt thou not let me hold thee for a moment?"
