Question and reply now followed one another in rapid succession, and both were soon acquainted with everything worth knowing; nay, Hermon had even delivered Daphne's rose to his friend, and informed him what had befallen the Gaul who was being brought into the house.
The old gentleman accepted it with his usual uncomplaining deference to circumstances; still, it was jarring to nerves overstrained and bruised by the home thrust of Daphne's defection. He fell silent and drew within himself, not reproachfully, but sensitively.
Go into the dining-room and have some luncheon right away," she directed. "Perhaps that will make you feel better. What are you going to do this afternoon?" "Nothing special," Janet replied. "Then I will ask a favor of you all," she followed them to the dining-room and took her place at the head of the table. "We'll grant it before we hear it," Daphne's drawl sounded very soft and musical.
With them and Daphne's servants seafaring men also left the boats Biamite fishermen and boatmen, who knew the breeding places and nests of the feathered prey and before them, barking loudly and shaking their dripping bodies, the young huntress's brown and white spotted dogs ran toward the tents.
When a boat which belonged to Daphne's galley was finally given to him, the Biamite girl was no longer at the place appointed for the meeting. Hoping to find her on the Owl's Nest with old Tabus, he then landed there, but had been so uncivilly rebuffed on the shore by a rough fellow that he might be glad to have escaped with sound limbs.
"It is never too late for beauty to waken love," returned the baronet, and they trifled a little. They were approaching Daphne's Bower, which they entered, and sat there to taste the coolness of a descending midsummer day. The baronet seemed in a humour for dignified fooling; the lady for serious converse. "I shall believe again in Arthur's knights," she said. "When I was a girl I dreamed of one."
He longed for mirth and pleasure, but was unwilling to share it with these two. As he dared not disturb Myrtilus, there was only one place where he could find what he needed, and this was he had said so to himself when he turned his back on his sleeping friend in Daphne's society.
Phyllis demanded, "what did Sally want?" Janet finished her candy and selected another before she answered. "Sally called up to tell me that our costumes would be ready to try on at four o'clock to-day and that she would call for us in Daphne's car." "Oh, how nice Taffy can be when she wants to." Phyllis was now wide awake.
"A great deal too much in love with him!" said Daphne, sharply. The day was chilly, with a strong east wind blowing, and Daphne's small figure and face were enveloped in a marvellous wrap, compounded in equal proportions of Russian sables and white cloth. It had not long arrived from Wörth, and Roger had allowed himself some jibes as to its probable cost.
For Daphne's sake this decision had undoubtedly been welcome to the matron, and it pleased him also; for he still felt so ill physically, and so agitated mentally, that he shrank from meeting his numerous acquaintances in the capital. The goldsmith! the goldsmith! It depended upon his decision whether he would return to Alexandria at all.
