Entering the studio, I found myself behind a tall easel where Cyril was at work. I was concealed from him, and also from Wilderspin and Sinfi. On my left stood Cyril's caricature of Wilderspin's 'Faith and Love, upon which the light from a window was falling aslant!
And Winifred's scared expression when she encountered my mother's look of hate in the churchyard came back to me like a scene witnessed in a flash of lightning. 'The portrait was my mother's? 'It was the face of the kind, tender, and noble lady your mother, said Wilderspin gently.
Your relative, Cyril Aylwin, was, as I believed, on the Continent, expecting Wilderspin to join him there, or I might have taken him with me. I have always had great influence over Wilderspin, and I easily persuaded him to remain in the studio while I went myself to the woman's address, which he gave me.
In whatever assembly that voice was heard, its indescribable resonance would have marked it off from all other voices, and have made the ear of the listener eager to catch the sound. This voice, however, was not the one that had uttered the name of Wilderspin.
I knew that I had only to pass between those folding-doors to see her in Wilderspin's picture see her dressed in the 'azure-coloured tunic bordered with stars, and the upper garment of the 'colour of the moon at moonrise, which Wilderspin had so vividly described in Wales; and yet, paralysed by expectation, I could not stir.
That she was found at last my heart knew, though my brain was dazed. That in the next room, within a few yards of me, my mother and Sleaford and Wilderspin were looking at the picture of Winifred's face unclouded by the veil, my heart knew as clearly as though my eyes were gazing at it, and yet I could not stir.
'But, by God! I cried, 'it is no mistake that the vagaries of the father can bring shame and sorrow and misery upon the child. I could name a couple of fathers sleeping very close to each other now whose vagaries My sudden anger was carrying me away; but I stopped, recollecting myself. 'Doubtless, said Wilderspin, 'there are fathers and fathers.
And this was because nothing could satisfy me but the perfect type of expression which not even Leonardo nor any other painter in the world had found the true Romantic type. 'I understand you, Mr. Wilderspin, I said. 'This I perfect type of expression you eventually found 'In the daughter, said Cyril, 'of the goddess Gudgeon. 'By the blessing of Mary Wilderspin in heaven, said Wilderspin.
In my original perplexity about finding a model for my Zenelophon, I had bethought me of Sinfi Lovell, who, with a friend of hers named Rhona Boswell, sat to Wilderspin, to your cousin, and others. I had made inquiries about Sinfi, but had been told that she was not now to be had, as she had abandoned London altogether, and was settled in Wales.
'The portrait will look better yet, he said. 'I always leave the final glazing till the picture is in the frame. After we had thoroughly examined the portrait, we turned to look at a large canvas upon an easel. Wilderspin had evidently been working upon it very lately. 'That's "Ruth and Boaz," don't you know? said Sleaford.
