When James wants an illustration of a man of prayer for the scattered Jews, he speaks of Elijah, and of one particular crisis in his life, the praying on Carmel's tip-top. These three men are Israel's great men in the great crises of its history. Moses was the maker and moulder of the nation. Samuel was the patient teacher who introduced a new order of things in the national life.
But then the whole affair was a mystery, totally out of keeping, in all its details, with the characters of these women, save and what a fearful exception I here make the awful end, which, alas! bespoke the fiery rush and impulse to destroy which marked Carmel's unbridled rages. Of a less emotional attack she would be as incapable as any other good woman. Poison she would never use.
Curiosity alone explained it; and as I realised what this meant, and how little understanding it betokened of the fierce struggle then going on in the timid breast of their distracted child, a sickening sense of my own responsibility drove Carmel's beauty, and Carmel's claims temporarily from my mind, and following the direction of Ella's thoughts, if not her glances, I sought in the face of the prisoner a recognition of her presence, if not of the promise this presence brought him.
I even thought I caught a kindly gleam in his eye as it met mine at this critical juncture, and by its light I understood my man and what he hoped from me. He wished me at any risk to himself, to unite with him in saving Carmel's good name.
Moffat's plan to weaken the effect of Carmel's testimony by offering any weak corroboration of facts which nobody showed the least inclination to dispute. Satisfied with having given the jury an opportunity to contrast his client's present cheerfulness and manly aspect with the sullenness he had maintained while in doubt of Carmel's real connection with this crime, Mr. Moffat rested his case.
This would wake him up, at any rate! He'd say his sister was breaking out into an authoress! What sport!" Carmel's Kingdom The day following the secret meeting of the Mafia was one of those devoted to home correspondence.
Noreen, who was the star of the elocution class, recited a poem describing the sad experience of a typical little waif, and his reception in the Home. It was a pretty piece, and had been composed expressly for the Society by a lady who often wrote for magazines. Then, last of all, came Carmel's Sicilian dance.
Then he grew nervous, fearing that Nurse Unwin would come to herself and telegraph Carmel's escape, and so prepare the prosecution for his great stroke.
It was Carmel's first autumn in England, and, though her artistic temperament revelled in the beauty of the tints, the falling leaves filled her with consternation. "It is so sad to see them all come down," she declared. "Why the trees will soon be quite bare! Nothing but branches left!" "What else do you expect?" asked Gowan. "They won't keep green all the winter." "I suppose not.
"Let's sign our names at once!" declared Phillida enthusiastically. At Carmel's suggestion, however, they made rather more of a ceremony of the initiation of their new order. The prospective members retired into the wood above the garden, and in strict privacy took an oath of secrecy and service.
