They walked on now and round through the shrubbery on the left, and so at last to the house again. Amaryllis could not chance being late. Verisschenzko recovered from his abstraction presently and talked of many things of the friendship of the soul, and how it can only thrive after there has been in some life a physical passionate love and fusion of the bodies.
Then she laughed to herself as she always did if Hans coerced her when she recollected how she had given his secrets away to Verisschenzko and that no matter how he seemed to compel her obedience, she was even with him underneath!
And then he remembered the many discussions with Verisschenzko upon the theory of re-birth and of the soul's return again and again until its lessons are learned on this plane of existence, and he wondered what soul would animate the physical form of this little being who would be his and hers.
Most criminals have some stable point in immorality; Harietta is troubled by nothing fixed, no law of God or man means anything to her, she is only ruled by her sense of self-preservation. Her career is picturesque." "Had she ever any children?" Verisschenzko crossed himself. "Heaven forbid! Think of watching Harietta's instincts coming out in a child! Poor Stanislass is at least saved that!"
"We shall meet to-night, perhaps, at Carlton House Terrace at the German Embassy," he said, "and then we can settle everything." Amaryllis wondered why she felt rather excited as she walked up the stairs she had often thought of Verisschenzko, and hoped he would come to England. He was vivid and living and would help her to balance herself.
The enraging part was that she would not dare to try to keep him with Hans again upon the scene. She hated Hans once more as she had hated him at the Ardayre ball! Verisschenzko did not attempt to caress her; he sat perfectly still, nor did he speak.
Amaryllis was white as milk and her grey eyes were disturbed and very troubled. She held out her two hands to Verisschenzko and he kissed them with affectionate worship. "Lady of my Soul!" "Oh! Stepan, comfort me give me counsel. It is such a terrible moment in my life. What am I to do?" "It is indeed difficult for you we must think it all out "
They talked for some time of these things and their plans to aid in their fulfilment, and then they gradually spoke of Verisschenzko and Amaryllis asked what was the latest news he was in Russia, she supposed. "Stepan will be arriving in London next week. I heard from him to-day. Won't you ask him down, darling, to spend the New Year with us here it would be so good to see the dear old boy again."
"It is perfectly certain," and Verisschenzko grew contemplative, "that the result of deliberately turning the current of events like that must have some momentous consequence. Mind you, I think you were right. I should have advised it as I have told you, because of that swine of a Turk, Ferdinand but it may have deranged some plan of the Cosmos, and if so some of you will have to pay for it.
"Now I am beginning to think that you love me again," he announced presently, "and of course I must always pay for love!" They were seated by the fire in two armchairs when Stanislass came in from the Club before dinner at eight. Harietta had not even remembered that she must dress, so intoxicated with re-awakened passion for Verisschenzko had she become.
