So again the horns were winded; and ere their voice had died, in from the buttery screens came a glittering image of war, and there stood the alien champion over against the warrior of the sea; and he too had a vizard over his face.
"But you are quite safe from her for one day," continued Severne, "so you must be reasonable. I will go with you, Tuesday, as early as you like; but do be a good fellow, and let me have the five hundred, to try my system with to-morrow." Vizard looked sad, and made no reply. Severne got impatient. "Why, what is it to a rich fellow like you?
He was, let me say for I withhold his real name George Lumley Fowkes, of Fowkes, Vizard and Fowkes, respectable head of a more than respectable firm; and here he was, with his hat pushed back from his dewy forehead, tip-toeing, protesting, extenuating to a slip of a lad in uniform.
After a few more words, in which Severne, seeing Vizard was in one of his iron moods, and immovable as him of Rhodes, affected now to be a partisan of the new arrangement, Miss Gale rose to retire. Severne ran before her to the door, and opened it, as to a queen. She bowed formally to him as she went out.
Harris," said Rhoda, "would you mind telling Mr. Vizard?" "Well, miss," said Harris, softly, "I did step in and tell him. Which he told me to go to the devil, miss a hobservation I never knew him to make before." This was not encouraging. Yet the Klosking quietly inquired where he was. "In there, ma'am," said Harris. "In his study."
Well, Ned, I was mistaken. Yesterday night I met my Fate once more." "Where? In Frankfort?" "No: at Homburg; at the opera. You must give me your word not to tell a soul." "I pledge you my word of honor." "Well, the lady who sung the part of Siebel." "Siebel?" muttered Severne. "Yes," said Vizard, dejectedly.
She will sit down apart, and say, 'Please don't watch me it makes me nervous. The other two will take the hint and make love a good way off; and Zoe will go greater lengths, with another woman in sight but only just in sight, and slyly encouraging her than if she were quite alone with her mauvais sujet." Vizard was pleased with the old lady.
Just then Ned Severne came in, and Vizard introduced him to Uxmoor with great geniality and pride. The charming young man was in a black surtout, with a blue scarf, the very tint for his complexion. The girls looked at one another, and in a moment Fanny was elected Zoe's agent. She signaled Severne, and when he came to her she said, for Zoe, "Don't you know we are going to the opera at Homburg?"
From that hour Vizard was in a state of excitement, hoping to hear from Ina Klosking, or about her; but unwilling, from delicacy, to hurry matters. At last he became impatient, and wrote to Ashmead, whose address he had, and said, frankly, he had a delicacy in intruding on Mademoiselle Klosking, in her grief. Yet his own feelings would not allow him to seem to neglect her. Would Mr.
It would seem she had sustained importunity on the subject, for when she saw the Doctor, she put her hand to her face, as if she was afraid he would insist on pulling off the vizard. He hastened to say, in tolerable French, that her will should be a law to them in every respect, and that she was at perfect liberty to wear the mask till it was her pleasure to lay it aside.
