Then they parted for the night with much of the disturbance and the complex emotions removed from Denzil's heart. When Verisschenzko reached Paris and discovered the desecration of the Ikon, an icy rage came over him. He knew, even before questioning his old servant, that it could only be the work of Harietta. Jealousy alone would be the cause of such a wanton act.
"There will be no more kicks for thee, my Angel!" the maid, peeping from a door, whispered exultingly to Fou-Chow! "Thy Marie has saved thee at last!" When Verisschenzko again reached his own sitting room he paced up and down for half an hour. He was horribly agitated, and angry with himself for being so.
Now that Verisschenzko had come, Harietta ardently wished that he would. The most venomous hate was arising in Ferdinand's resentful soul. He felt that here was a rival to be dreaded indeed. He saw that Harietta was nervous; he had never seen her so before. He shut his teeth and determined to stay on. Verisschenzko continued his disconcerting silence.
They were seated comfortably on their sofa, and Verisschenzko leaning forward from his corner, looked straight into her eyes. "You control your thoughts?" she asked. "Can you really only let them wander where you choose?" "They very seldom escape me, but I consciously allow them indulgences." "Such as?" "Visions day dreams which I know ought not to materialise."
Amaryllis wondered why he should speak as though it were an understood thing that she could feel no emotion for John. She resented this. "I have my husband," she answered with dignity and a sweetly conventional air. Verisschenzko laughed. "You are delicious when you say things like that loyal, and English, and proud.
That afternoon he went up to London to his medical board, and Amaryllis was to join him in Brook Street on the following day. She was stunned like every one else. War seemed a nightmare an unreality she had not grasped its meaning as yet. She thought of Verisschenzko and his words. What was her duty? Surely at a great crisis like this she must have some duty to do?
And suddenly in his mental vision the walls of the room seemed to fade, and he was only conscious of a vastness of space, and knew that for this brief moment he was looking into eternity and realising for the first time the wonder of things. Meanwhile Verisschenzko had returned to the Carlton and was softly walking down the passage towards the Boleskis' rooms.
A communication has come apparently from John to Amaryllis from a prisoners' camp in Germany, and yet as far as one can be certain of anything I am certain that I saw him die " Verisschenzko was greatly startled. What a frightful complication it would make should John be alive!
And if John were really to be alive what misery he would be obliged to suffer, knowing the situation. "Quite apart from what to me is a convincing proof, the scent," Verisschenzko went on, "the card must be a forgery because of John's seeming oblivion of the possibility that you two might have already carried out his wishes. All this would have been very unlike him.
"Marriage appears a perfect terror to me how could one know one was going to continue to feel emotion towards some one who might prove to be the most awful physical or mental disappointment on intimate acquaintance? I believe affaires de convenance selected with thought-out reasoning are the best." Verisschenzko shrugged his shoulders. "That is not necessary.
