The duke and Lady Lilias and other members of the family had come up to the ducal house in Park Lane, where also was staying the bishop, who was to conduct the ceremony. ¡°I hear,¡± he said, bitterly. ¡°But you are wrong. She deceived you¡ªall¡ªas she deceived me. She loved Norman Druce¡ªshe left Belfayre with him.¡± Trafford sat in a corner of the smoking-room moodily smoking for half an hour; then, as if unable to remain quiet for a longer period, got up and wandered out again. Esmeralda was never absent from his mind for a moment, and as he strode along the deserted paths under the trees in the park, he asked himself how he could best begin the search. An advertisement in the papers would be of no avail, even if she saw it; the private detective was not to be thought of for a moment. He did not know where to look for her¡ªand Norman. ¡°Thursday morning,¡± replied the clerk. As he spoke he turned over the passenger¡¯s list mechanically. Varley rolled a cigarette, his pale face set with a kind of impatient contempt. Flora played at hesitation: "Ah, love, if perchanze that bugl' was to call you?" As to the Comte de Beaujolais, he was fond of her, as all her pupils were, for she was extremely kind to them, but he hated and abhorred the principles which his father and she had succeeded in instilling into his brothers and sister, longed to fight for the King and Queen, and took the first opportunity when he met the Comte de Provence in exile to tell him so and make his submission; he had sent him messages of explanation and loyalty directly he could. For more than a year, then, there had been coldness and estrangement between the Duchess and Mme. de Genlis, who, of course, as usual, posed as an injured saint. What had she done? Why this cruel change in the affection and confidence of years? Had she not sacrificed herself to her pupils? Was she not the last person to alienate their affection from their illustrious and admirable mother? Did not all the virtues of her whole life forbid her being suspected or distrusted in any way? Talma had, in the kindness of his heart, concealed in his house for a long time two proscribed men. One was a democrat and terrorist, who had denounced him and his wife as Girondins. For after the fall of Robespierre the revolutionary government, forced by the people to leave off arresting women and children, let the royalists alone and turned their fury against each other. Besides this democrat who was hidden in the garret, he had a royalist concealed in the cellar. They did not know of each other¡¯s presence, and Talma had them to supper on alternate nights after the house was shut up. At last, as the [467] terrorist seemed quite softened and touched and polite, Talma and his wife thought they would venture to have them together. At first all went well, then after a time they found out who each other were; and on some discussion arising, their fury broke forth¡ª It was Carlyle's "Hero Worship." The big words, the magnificent sentences, passed before her eyes like lines in an unknown language. She had not the faintest idea what she was reading; but she followed the lines and turned the leaf at the bottom of a page mechanically. CHAPTER VI. Norman.¡± Barker coughed again. ¡°Oh, no, it is quite right,¡± said Lady Wyndover, easily. ¡°How beautiful you¡ªit is!¡± she added, almost to herself. ¡°And it will look better still at night.¡± He commanded every one to salute his palace, even when he was not there. He forbade round hats, and sent police about with long sticks to knock off any they met. "And you hamstrung those horses." [269] [123] Antisthenes pushed to its extreme consequences a movement begun by the naturalistic Sophists. His doctrine was what would now be called anarchic collectivism. The State, marriage, private property, and the then accepted forms of religion, were to be abolished, and all mankind were to herd promiscuously together.5 Either he or his followers, alone among the ancients, declared that slavery was wrong; and, like Socrates, he held that the virtue of men and women was the same.6 But what he meant by this broad human virtue, which according to him was identical with happiness, is not clear. We only know that he dissociated it in the strongest manner from pleasure. ¡®I had rather be mad than delighted,¡¯ is one of his characteristic sayings.7 It would appear, however, that what he really objected to was self-indulgence¡ªthe pursuit of sensual gratification for its own sake¡ªand that he was ready to welcome the enjoyments naturally accompanying the healthy discharge of vital function.8 Naturally, when he pulled back on the stick and it did not yield, Jeff shouted through the speaking tube, ¡°Let go!¡± for he thought Larry had lost his head and was fighting his control.
