How wonderful you are!" cried Erik. "Why have I never seen you before?" "I am Vanda, the Spirit of the Moon," said the Angel gently. "Only to those who are in need of help can I become visible. Your mother knows me well. Winter and summer, I have soothed her to sleep; and to-night, as you looked from the window, your thoughts joined mine, and I was able to come to you. What will you ask of me?"
He made Auguste take away the instrument and offered a cup of tea to his daughter with the coaxing manner of a nurse quieting the petulance of a child. "What is the doctor like?" she asked, her mind already distracted by the prospect of seeing a new person. Vanda, like all prisoners, was full of eager curiosity.
Malarius, and was agreeably surprised to see Dame Hersebom, and Vanda, who had come to bid him farewell. They were modestly intending to go to a hotel in the town, but the doctor insisted that they should come and stay with him, to the great displeasure of Kajsa, who did not think that they were sufficiently distinguished. Vanda was now a tall girl, whose beauty fulfilled its early promise.
On awaking from such dreams, Eveline would reflect that she was the last branch of her house a house to which the tutelage and protection of the miraculous Image, and the enmity and evil influence of the revengeful Vanda, had been peculiarly attached for ages.
Erik himself, with his head bowed, was divided between the desire of satisfying the doctor, and realizing the secret wishes of his own heart, and the no less natural wish of giving no offense to his adopted parents. It was Vanda who first broke the reserve, and spoke upon the subject. "Erik," she said, in her sweet grave voice, "you can not say 'No' to the doctor after receiving such a letter.
At least we must conclude so, since it was soon made known that he expected to marry her at the next "Yule," or Christmas. Mr. Malarius counted upon educating their children as he had educated Erik and Vanda. He modestly resumed his position in the village school, after sharing in the honor of the decorations bestowed by the Geographical Society of France upon the captain of the "Alaska."
"Does it hurt?" he asked, digging into it with a steel instrument. "Yes," Vanda replied, untruthfully. "Shall I remind him?" she was wondering. "He would be sure to remember me. But that servant! Why will she stand there?" Finkel suddenly snorted like a steam-engine right into her mouth, and said: "I don't advise you to have it stopped. That tooth will never be worth keeping anyhow."
They seated themselves around the fire to finish gayly their Christmas-eve by eating a last cake before the enormous log which looked like a burning cavern. The next day the fisherman called Erik to him, and in the presence of Katrina, Otto, and Vanda, spoke to him as follows: "Erik, the letter of Doctor Schwaryencrona was about you.
This instrument, in its highest development, was equal to a piano; but the cost of it was three hundred francs. Vanda, who read the newspapers and reviews, knew of the existence of the instrument, and had wished for one for the last two months. "Yes, madame, you shall have one," said Godefroid, after exchanging a look with the old man.
Bentley sent the plant, a large mass to the chairman of the Company, and it reached home in fair condition. I saw the warm letter, enclosing cheque for 100l., in which Mr. Templar acknowledged receipt. But further record I have not been able to discover. One inclines to assume that a blue orchid which puts forth a "garland" of bloom must be a Vanda.
