Now, I'm not sure not sure of anything about her. I'm not even sure whether I want to know her or not. The favour I have to ask is, that you help me to judge and help her, if you have to judge harshly." "Yes, you, Father. If she needs help, I'm not the one to help her. But you could do it." And Vanno plunged deeper into explanations, warming with his story and forgetting his first shy stiffness.
"He thinks I am " The sob would come. She broke down, crying bitterly. "Oh, Mary, I love him so. I worship him. He thinks I'm everything sweet and good and innocent, that I'd give my soul to be, for his sake. And now you've come " "You don't think I'll tell!" "Not if you say you won't. But I didn't know. You were always so good. You might have thought it your duty. Mary you won't tell Vanno?
Behind are the burning glens of the sunset sky Where, like blown ghosts, the seamews Wail their desolate sea dirges. Make now of these a lulling chant, O Anthem-Maker." "That is all?" asked George Winter. "That is all," Mary echoed. "I think I understand why a man might want just those words for a last lullaby," Vanno said.
It was almost incredible to me at first that you in face a sweet young girl could have accepted Vanno's love without telling him about your past, and at least giving him the chance to choose. Now I begin to see you in a different light." "You see me in a false light," Mary said passionately. "You tortured that out of me about Vanno. I didn't mean it.
Mary's face lying low on the pillow was colourless as wax. The sun lit up her hair, and turned it to living gold. Vanno saw only the bed, and Mary lying there asleep. He did not once look at Dauntrey, who stole out on tiptoe. Eve, waiting for her husband, put a finger to her lips.
The girl defended Marie. "Doesn't know where you're going?" "No." Mary felt obliged to explain. "I was vexed at something that happened to-day. So I finished my visit sooner than I expected." "Oh! And does your friend Mrs. Winter approve?" "She doesn't know, either. She's at Nice for the day, with her husband." "Surely somebody must know what you're doing. Your own Prince Vanno?"
"I should like to live up here, and be your neighbour, and cultivate glow-worms," said Vanno, as his host guided him along a narrow path which led between flower-beds to the arbour. "Why not?" cried the priest, enraptured. "You could buy beautiful land, a plateau of orange trees and olives, carpeted with violets the petite campagne I spoke of.
"Oh, we've never met, but I knew you were both here, and I'm Mary Maxwell, Mary Grant's best friend. I'll go in and find her and Prince Vanno, now the gate's unlocked. I thought perhaps Mary was sending me out her jewel-case, as I see you have it in your hand." This was a shot in the dark.
"You may wake her." "If she did not wake when I called, she won't wake at the sound of a footstep." "But my husband we ought to consult him " Before she could finish, Vanno pushed open the door, by virtue of his strength, which was far greater than that of Lord Dauntrey, who kept guard on the other side.
The music of their love must at best be jarred by discords: and looking to the stars behind the drifting clouds, Mary told herself with a bursting heart that it would be kinder to break with Vanno now. For a long time she sat at the table without moving, her chin in her hands, her eyes always on the window. The fire of wood which Apollonia had lighted died down to a heap of red-jewelled ashes.
