But tell me, Arbaces, hast thou seen my brother of late? He has not visited me for several days; and when I last saw him his manner disturbed and alarmed me much. I fear lest he was too precipitate in the severe choice that he has adopted, and that he repents an irrevocable step. 'Be cheered, Ione, replied the Egyptian.
Two days passed rapidly away in visiting the numerous objects of interest to be seen at Portsmouth. Ned's kit was ready, and his uncle finally took him on board the "Ione," which had cast off from the hulk, and was getting ready to go out to Spithead. Ned was introduced to the commander, who shook his uncle and him by the hand in a friendly way.
The slaves handed round basins of perfumed water, by which lavation the feast commenced: and now the table groaned under the initiatory course. The conversation, at first desultory and scattered, allowed Ione and Glaucus to carry on those sweet whispers, which are worth all the eloquence in the world. Julia watched them with flashing eyes. 'How soon shall her place be mine! thought she.
As Ada saw them at a distance, she at once recognised them from their dress as Maltese, and she longed to question them, to learn if they had come lately from their native island, and could give her any information respecting the vessels of war which were there; and whether the Ione had yet sailed for England.
She paused again as she reached the threshold; she stretched her hands towards it, and murmured: 'Three happy days days of unspeakable delight, have I known since I passed thee blessed threshold! may peace dwell ever with thee when I am gone! And now, my heart tears itself from thee, and the only sound it utters bids me die! A SLAVE entered the chamber of Ione.
Had our forefathers known Ione, they had made a different law. 'Did you learn these pretty gallantries at Rome? said Arbaces, with ill-suppressed emotion. 'One certainly would not go for gallantries to Egypt, retorted Glaucus, playing carelessly with his chain.
It was on the fourth day from the date of the close of the previous book, that Arbaces and Ione sat together. 'You wear your veil at home, said the Egyptian; 'that is not fair to those whom you honour with your friendship.
I fancy not, yet it ought to be so. 'Fancy no such grievous wrong to Ione, answered Glaucus, laughing. 'But we do not, alas! resemble each other, as the homely and the beautiful sometimes do. Ione's hair is dark, mine light; Ione's eyes are what color, Ione? I cannot see, turn them to me. Oh, are they black? no, they are too soft.
In this hope he had watched the expanding youth of the beautiful Neapolitan; and, knowing the influence that the mind possesses over those who are taught to cultivate the mind, he had contributed willingly to form the genius and enlighten the intellect of Ione, in the hope that she would be thus able to appreciate what he felt would be his best claim to her affection: viz, a character which, however criminal and perverted, was rich in its original elements of strength and grandeur.
