"I knew you wouldn't refuse me. You're an angel, Philidor, and I shall reward you." She touched Pre Gugou's blossom to her lips, then put it deftly into the lapel of his coat. "It is the Order of the Golden Rose, mon ami, and its motto is Sincere et Constanter.
Markham grinned at the departing vehicle and then, turning, met Hermia's gleaming eyes. "O mon ami, it is to laugh!" she cried. "Imagine Clarissa seated in the tonneau of that machine entering the gates of Verneuil! If you have any doubt about getting the better of a Frenchman just set him up to ridicule." She began laughing again, her eyes on Markham. "My poor Philidor!
"You motto of the Golden Rose needs amending," he said. "What would you add?" "Patience," he laughed. "Clarissa is patient," she sniffed. "The bon Dieu preserve me from the patient man." It was clear that she meant to affront him and she succeeded admirably, for Philidor flushed to the brows. Then catching her in his arms without more ado, he kissed her full on the lips.
Philidor was an admirable violinist, and the composer of numerous operas which delighted the French public for many years. He died in London in 1759. There were several other pupils of Corelli who achieved rank in their art and exerted a recognizable influence on music.
There was nothing left for her to do. Slowly, fearfully, he raised his eyes until she came within the range of their vision, first to her shoes, then to her stockings, her skirt, gaudy jacket and at last met her eyes, which were smiling at him saucily over the rosebud which she was holding to her lips. But he only sat glowering stupidly at her. "O Philidor!" she cried.
The beds were there, the shelves of dishes, the racks of clothing, but of Hermia there was no sign. How the miracle had happened Philidor knew not, unless she had gone through the roof, but with the discovery his courage returned to him in a gush, and when Olga's eyes keenly sought his face he was calmly smoking.
"O Philidor such a wooing! You'd marry me because I need you. Was ever a dependent female in such a position!" And she began laughing again, her whole figure shaking. "I need you forsooth! How do you know I do? Have I told you so?" she asked scornfully. "You need me," he repeated doggedly. "And that is why I should marry you? You who preach the gospel of sincerity and love for love's sake?"
If you had come to me there you would not need to have pleaded, Philidor." "My Hermia!" "You were with me that day. Didn't you know it?" "I was with you every day, child." She smiled happily. "When I got down to Evian at nightfall they were searching for me. They thought that I had fallen and been killed. They reproved me.
You were like no man I had ever met. You told me the truth. I didn't like it, but I respected you for telling it. When I went away I remember wanting to see you again. AT Thimble Island " "Yes?" She hid her face in his breast and the words came slowly. "My visit to to Thimble Island I I knew you were there. My m motor didn't miss fire, Philidor?" He raised her head and made her look at him.
Their work done for the night, Philidor set off post haste in search of quarters for Yvonne; but the inns were full and it was too late to search elsewhere.
