Although Wilfred had stayed close to his farm, near Oklahoma City, he had kept alive to the rush and swing of the western life; and now that he had leisure to ride with Mizzoo among the bustling camps, and view the giant strides made from day to day by the smallest towns, he was more than ever filled with the exultation of one who takes part in world-movements.
"The Habershams, and Edith Symmes, and Horace Penfield, and Warren and myself, and Marcia, and Wilfred Ames, and yourself." She paused, a look of dismay overspreading her face. "We'll have to have another woman. Who on earth shall it be?" "A butterfly dinner without the Mariposa would seem like Hamlet with the Prince left out, wouldn't it?" suggested Hayden. "Oh!" Kitty gasped joyously.
"And to worsen her sorrow," added Wilfred, "when day brake, came the Duke's Grace of Austria, and his sister, Queen Agnes of Hungary, and all their following, to behold the scene men and women amongst whom she had dwelt, that had touched hand or lip with her many a time all mocking and jibing.
Soon a voice was heard through the crevices of the rough planks which formed the door. "Wilfred, art thou here?" "I am. Is it thou, Pierre?" "It is. Why didst thou flee the combat? Thou hast disgraced thyself, and me, too, as thy friend." "I cannot tell thee." "Was it not fear, then?" "It was not." "Then at least vouchsafe some explanation, that I may justify thee to the others." "I cannot."
Two definite causes led the Prioress to mistrust Sister Seraphine: one, that she had called upon "Wilfred" to come and save her, and had admitted having expected him to appear and carry her off before she made her final profession; the other, that she had tried to start an evil report concerning the old lay-sister, Mary Antony.
"He's very much altered, then, since I met him last. I'm afraid he has a gun hidden up there among the rocks." "Oh, nux, nux," retorted Willock. "He's a-speaking fair. Come along!" As they ascended the winding road, Wilfred vividly recalled the day when, from the same elevation, he had watched Lahoma buried in her day-dreams. A sudden turn brought the cove into view.
The furniture was scattered and overturned. Farbish was weakly leaning to one side in the seat to which he had made his way. The men who had gone down under the heavy blows of the chair lay quietly where they had fallen. Wilfred Horton stood waiting. The whole affair had transpired with such celerity and speed that he had hardly understood it, and had taken no part.
Still, if you say so " "No, Wilfred," she declined, "if you can't do it willingly, I don't want you to do it at all. It doesn't matter in the least. Let's drop the subject." One afternoon, swinging along Fifth Avenue in his down-town walk, Samson met Mr. Farbish, who fell into step with him, and began to make conversation.
There they paused abruptly, and one who seemed almost overwhelmed by surprise and disappointment, gazed as if stupefied upon the wreck of his fortunes. It was Etienne of Aescendune cum Malville. As we have seen, the conflagration was yet at its heights when Wilfred of Aescendune and his hundred men left the scene, and took their road to the east, along the reddened waters of the river.
A few more parting instructions, and they separated; the young thrall actually kneeling and kissing his young lord's hand with that devoted love nought save such obligations could give. Wilfred was returning to the castle, when he met Pierre, who was evidently seeking him. "Wilfred," he said, "I have come to offer you my services for tomorrow; you will want the offices of a friend."
