...I have heard a grave divine say that God has two dwellings one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart. Izaak Walton. "Del, my love," said Mrs Hunt, "I feel one of my worst headaches coming on. Will you go this afternoon to see Mrs Winn, instead of me?" Delia stood under the medlar tree on the lawn, ready to go out, with a bunch of roses in her hand, and her violin-case.
Nevertheless, he went very quietly into the drawing-room. There the moonlight entered, and he thought the whiteness was Helena. He held his breath and stiffened, then breathed again. 'Tomorrow, he thought, as he laid his violin-case across the arms of a wicker chair. But he had a physical feeling of the presence of Helena: in his shoulders he seemed to be aware of her.
The figure disappeared for an instant within the doorway and the light went out; then he reappeared, carrying a violin-case under his arm, which he screened from the wet with the folds of his cloak, carefully, as a mother would cover the face of her child. He leaped to the carriage. "All right, Bobo, go ahead. Wait a moment until I get the latch open. Ye gods! I never felt such cold.
Anna started and looked eagerly back, but Molly's long stride had already placed a good distance between herself and the figure which was descending the hill. That her grandfather! Was it possible? He looked so poor, so dusty, so old, such a contrast to the merry June evening, as he tramped wearily down the flowery lane, a little bent to one side by the weight of his violin-case.
Now he laughed, and took his comrades' hands, and bade farewells, all distractedly, and with impatience. The theatre, awesome now in its emptiness, he left gladly, hastening like a flame stretched level on the wind. With his black violin-case he hurried down the street, then halted to pity the flowers massed pallid under the gaslight of the market-hall.
But the frame that lies so quiet and motionless here, thrills, when awaked to life, with a soul only less marvellous than man's. In short, the coffin is a violin-case, and the mysterious frame the violin. The Doctor must have been fiddling overnight, after getting into bed; to the dissatisfaction, perhaps, of his neighbor on the other side of the partition.
'No, Miss Fennimore; but my brother has sent it to me to keep for him. It is the key of his violin-case, and he is not going to touch it till he is past his examination. From that time Miss Fennimore entertained a better opinion of Robina Underwood; but little recked Robina. She only felt secure that after this act of heroism Lance could not but gain the exhibition.
Behind him, on a table, she saw his violin-case unopened, and her heart gave a glad hope. He had not been working. He had been, she hoped, unable to work. "May I come in, Victor?" she asked. Still he did not move. "Why?" he asked uncompromisingly. "Because I have things to tell you. Don't be afraid. I am not going to make a scene " He drew aside, and she went in and closed the door.
This clamor aroused the young man, who lifted his forehead from the violin-case and turned a pair of full blue eyes misty from fatigue or some other cause, upon the group. The young men paused and looked at each other. There was something touchingly beautiful about that young face which impressed them with a sentiment of awe.
I couldn't have carried them much farther!" "Ah, you had no basket to cover the head," replied Alessandro, as he threw up the two nets on his shoulders as if they had been feathers. In doing so, he felt the violin-case. "Is it the violin?" he cried. "My blessed one, where did you get it?" "Off the table in Felipe's room," she answered. "I knew you would rather have it than anything else.
