But Saberevski retained his clasp upon her hands, and without seeming to do so, restrained her where she was; after a moment he added: "Now, if you please we will change the subject. My duty as I saw it, has been performed, and nothing remains to be said. In a few moments I will leave you, and when I do so, we will probably part for the last time. Now, Zara, tell me something about yourself."
The kislar aga appeared, in obedience to the sultan's orders; the executioner of the harem, and two slaves, stretched me on the floor I made no resistance or complaint; my jewelled slippers were taken off, and all was ready for the disgraceful punishment. "Now, Zara, will you retract?" said the sultan, solemnly. "No, my lord, I will not. I repeat, that you have a wen under your left arm."
There was a mystery about them, and the people in Hedgeville just made up their minds that something was wrong." "I feel awfully sorry for Zara, Bessie. It must be dreadful for her to know that her father is in prison, and that they are saying that he was making bad money. You don't think he did, do you?" "I certainly do not!
"I know what it is that is so splendid about the Camp Fire Girls, Zara," she said, suddenly. "They belong to one another, and they do things together. That's what counts that's why they look so happy. We've never had anything to belong to, you and I, anything like this. Don't you see what I mean?" "Yes, I do, Bessie. And that's what makes it seem so easy when they work.
I put it carefully away with its companion MS. under lock and key, and while I was yet pausing earnestly on its contents, Zara came into my room. She had finished her task in the studio, she said, and she now proposed a drive in the Bois as an agreeable way of passing the rest of the afternoon.
"Peace, wretch! thou hast proved thyself unworthy of the honour, by thy lying tongue." "I tell thee, Zara, silence! or you shall feel my indignation." But I was now too angry, and I replied, "My lord, you well know that I once held my tongue for eighteen months; I therefore can be silent when I choose; but I can also speak when I choose, and now I do choose to speak.
Will you excuse me?" and with the ever-courteous salute to us which was part of his manner, he left the room. I still remained at the window. Prince Ivan still dumbly played the piano. There were a few minutes of absolute silence. Then the Prince hastily got up, shut the piano, and approached me. "Do you know where Zara is?" he demanded in a low, fierce tone.
I am indebted to Mr Collie for some of my best animals viz., "Zara," the second-prize heifer at Battersea, and "Kate of Aberdeen," out of "Zara," and many others. He has been a very successful exhibitor of stock, and has distinguished himself at Elgin, Aberdeen, the Highland Society's shows, and the great International Exhibition at Paris.
I hurried through the hall and up the staircase quickly, and should have gone straight into Zara's boudoir had I not heard a sound of voices which caused me to stop precipitately outside the door. Zara was speaking. Her low, musical accents fell like a silver chime on the air. "I have told you," she said, "again and again that it is impossible.
"The woman," as she called Laura, should not have the satisfaction of seeing a trace of emotion in her, or Tristram either. He had answered immediately, "Yes," and had walked on by her side, in an absolutely raging temper. How dare Laura drag him into a disgraceful and ridiculous scene like this! He could have wrung her neck. What must Zara think? That he was simply a cad!
