He would be the knight of the fairy tale, and either win or die in the attempt to win the Princess of his heart and mind. So much was Glen in Reynolds' thoughts that he could think of little else. He visioned her mounted upon her horse, facing the grizzly. What a picture she would make!
She was conscious of an uplift of spirit for which there appeared no valid reason, and she visioned opening out before her a way of life that a week ago she had never even dreamed of. Three days in the solitude of the wilderness with Hubert Stane had brought her closer to him than an acquaintance of years could have done, and she was aware of wild impulses in her heart.
He got into the hammock, and after a while he drowsed, with a delicious, poetic sense of her capricious charm, as she drifted back to the farmhouse, over the sloping meadow. He visioned a future in which fame had given him courage to tell her his love. Mrs. Hilary knew from her daughter's face that something had happened; but she knew also that it was not what she dreaded.
Her fancy suggested that the weight of the tools might have torn a hole in the floor, they might have dropped through to the roof, and Betty herself might be in momentary danger of stepping into this hole. Nonsense? Well, wiser minds have conceived wilder possibilities under similar trying conditions. "I won't walk another step!" cried poor Betty, as she visioned this yawning hole.
He was not thinking of the treasure he would find at the end of this rainbow of success which he visioned. Money, simply as money, he hated.
She struck out, struggling gamely to her feet, and visioned Denman cursing and slashing at the hounds as he drove them off. But Vengeance, the untamed, heedless of the lash which scored his back a dozen times, caught at her ankle and she pitched head foremost into the stream of hot-breathed mouths and struggling bodies.
It seemed a tangible thing, not a visioned nothing born of nothingness and to perish utterly in a twinkling. "A promise that is a lie," he said to himself bitterly. "Like the promises of men." And then . . . to his startled fancies she had come into being like the rainbow, from nothingness . . . where the foot of the arch had appeared to rest stood the girl, Ygerne.
There she had seen suffering softened by gentleness, there empty lives were filled from generous hearts, and men and women inspired to make new and better starts. She had visioned the nobleness of giving and the unanswered call of her mother-nature had responded. She was not fully well, she was not deeply living, she had never fulfilled the best of self, and she hungered for the hospital.
I'm childish enough to believe in her still, though I speak through soiled lips the all-embracing woman who alone can hold you and that you alone can hold." Lewis stared absently into the fire. "'The worlds of women are seven," he repeated, half to himself: "'spirit, weed, flower, the blind, the visioned, libertine, and saint. None of these is for thee.
Months it would take in the making, but sitting there with the green tail-lights switching through cuts and around low hills and out over the level, Luck visioned it all, scene by scene. Visioned the herd huddled together in the night while the heavens were split with lightning, and the rain came down in white-lighted streamers of water.
