The gig had behaved splendidly all through the day, never shipping so much as a single drop of water, and now that she was riding to her oars she took the sea so easily and buoyantly that I felt as safe as I had ever done aboard the poor old Althea herself, and unhesitatingly allowed all hands to turn in as best they could in the bottom of the boat, undertaking to keep a lookout myself until the other boats had joined company.
She couldn't deny that Franklin hadn't their charm; but charm was a very superficial thing compared to moral beauty. Althea could not have faced the perturbing fact that charm, to her, counted for more than goodness. She clung to her ethical valuations of life, feeling, instinctively, that only in this category lay her own significance.
The two daughters of OEneus and Althea were famed all over the world for their beauty; and one of them was the wife of the hero Hercules, who had freed Prometheus from his chains, and done many other mighty deeds. The six sons of OEneus and Althea were noble, handsome fellows; but the noblest and handsomest of them all was Meleager, the youngest.
"Then gratify it!" cried Thyone with urgent impatience; but Proclus turned to the matron, and, after exchanging a hasty glance with Althea, said: "You probably know, my venerable friend, that Queen Arsinoe, who most deeply honours your illustrious husband, had already arranged to have him summoned to the capital as priest of Alexander.
It was scarcely the daughter of Archias who had detained Hermon, for he made only a brief answer Ledscha could not hear what it was when she accosted him pleasantly, to devote himself to Althea, and this could be perceived even at a distance thank her with ardent devotion. And now now he even raised the hem of her peplos to his lips.
The Queen was not to appear until after the feast, when the mixing jars were filled. The place by Hermon's side, which Althea had chosen for herself, would then be given up to Arsinoe. The sovereign was as unaccustomed to the society of a blind artist as Hermon was to that of a queen, and both eagerly anticipated the approaching meeting.
I love not all these sects that spring up like weeds in the ruined places of the Church; I am for those who are building up her walls again, and making them stronger. 'And is this your mind too, Mistress Lucia? says Harry. 'I fear me, if it is, you will not approve my good father either; at which Althea went red and went pale, for she had not thought how her words might hit Mr.
"And you think that, in this case, obedience is the husband's duty?" cried the other, with a sneering laugh. "It would only be the confirmation of a wise choice," replied Philippus, who disliked the Thracian's fawning manner. Thyone, too, did not favour her, and had glanced indignantly at her when Althea made her rude remark.
Then, too, Jean was extremely likable, although Althea stood a little in awe of her remarkable poise and a certain imperiousness that occasionally crept into the girl's manner. Jean rang the bell at Holland House with mingled feelings of resentment and defiance. Resentment against Evelyn for daring to take her to task; defiance of Grace and her commands.
