I thought as we went in that it would look strange a young, unmarried couple; that if I put down man and wife no one would think anything at all. And we'd be gone in a few hours; and probably you'd never go back there; and no one would know who you were." "I see." Gloria's tone, devoid of expression, gave no clue to her racing thoughts. "You did that for my sake!" "Yes," he said eagerly.
If there had not been hot sparks scattering from the thing doubtless they would have closed in on him and crushed it down, and out, but he had elbow-room, and accordingly Gloria's face glowed golden in its frame of disordered chestnut hair. One heard her voice because it was clear, and sweet with reasonableness, so that it vibrated in an unobstructed orbit.
It began to be not unusual for the more sincere of their friends to remonstrate with them, in the very course of a party, and to predict a sombre end for them in the loss of Gloria's "looks" and Anthony's "constitution."
If King found cool logic eluding him, Gloria's mind was an orgy of nervous imaginings. She was back with her mother, weeping, sobbing out upon a comforting breast all of her hideous adventures; she was reading the tall headlines in the newspapers; she was commenting on them with simulated flippancy to Georgia and Ernestine; she was meeting Mr.
There will come an hour again infallibly when the Turks will seek to blot out the last vestige of Armenia. If I hide faithfully, and watch well, by that time I shall be a legend among my people, and when I appear again in their desperation they will trust me." Will met Gloria's eyes in silence for a moment. "I've a mind to stay with you, Kagig, and lend a hand," he said at last.
Anthony stared out the window, his mind working dully on the slowly changing significance of what had occurred. Something was wrong that last cry of Gloria's had struck a chord which echoed posthumously and with incongruous disquiet in his heart. He must be right yet, she seemed such a pathetic little thing now, broken and dispirited, humiliated beyond the measure of her lot to bear.
"The pan-ic " he began, but got no further, for Gloria's hand swung around swiftly and caught him in the cheek. At this he all at once let go of her, and she fell to the floor, her shoulder hitting the table a glancing blow in transit.... Then the room seemed full of men and smoke. There was Tana in his white coat reeling about supported by Maury.
A wave of fresh weariness and travelstrain seemed to sweep over the dear little woman. Close upon it like a cool breeze came the recollection that in October Gloria would go back to school. Then, at any rate, this undue, unwelcome fascination for grimy streets would terminate. It was mid-August now. The next morning Mrs. McAndrew opened the door to Gloria's room.
No, I'm set on 'sailing." In sheer exuberance of spirits Gloria's laugh bubbled out again, then as quickly stopped. "Oh, you will think me such a silly! I ought not to laugh, ought I?" "Yes, keep on all the way, dear; you won't feel like it, I'm afraid, coming back. The first time I 'came back' do you want to know what I did?" "Cried," Gloria said softly.
The baby hands feebly beat its little sides, and it gasped for breath. Words came from Gloria's open mouth, articulate, clear, but very far in sound. "An evil death on you and all your house!" the words said, as though spoken by another. The outstretched hands sank slowly, as the vision laid itself down before her, straight and corpse-like.
