"Soeur Angélique, you must bury those hopes in the grave. Loving Gerald Vernor, never, now, or in the future, shall I have one word of love for any other woman. But for her, I should have come perhaps to love Phebe with this same love; perhaps, who knows? Phebe might so have loved me. As it is Soeur Angélique you know what I am. You know if I am likely to deceive myself.
Vernor condoles with me handsomely, and lets me know that the young lady's attitude has been a great shock to his nerves.
"Will you excuse me, ladies," she said, in that soft, irresistible voice of hers, as she laid aside bonnet and shawl in a quiet, business-like way. "I came to relieve Miss Vernor and play nurse for a while, and I think Phebe looks as if she needed a little sleep. If you will kindly take leave of her, I will darken the room at once."
"It has been such a long, long time!" he said, still holding her hands. "I do not know how we have made out to spare you." "We shall not have to spare her much longer," said Gerald. "She is coming down-stairs to-morrow." And then Halloway dropped Phebe's hands, and turning to Gerald, held out a hand to her. "Forgive me for not even noticing you, Miss Vernor. At first I could only see Miss Phebe."
"I am sorry to say that is all I know how to do for you, Miss Vernor." "Then I will go back to Miss Lydia. By the way, would you recommend soap also for hysterics?" "Applied with a close bandage over the mouth? Certainly, it will be both effectual and immediate." "Thank you. Good-night." "Will you not shake hands with me?"
