Until this
instant, he discovered, he had thought of Melusine’s plan only in a nebulous
fashion, a naïve girl’s dream. It isn’t as though I
haven’t done well. He had assumed that her leaving home was the point at issue, that
everything turned on that, and that the sole alternative was obedience, and she
had fallen in with that assumption until rebellion seemed a sacred principle. No fear o' that. A little inn flying a Swiss
flag nestles under a great rock, and there they put aside their knapsacks and
lunched and rested in the mid-day shadow of the gorge and the scent of resin. Anna was not “Alcide” of the
“Ambassador’s,” whose subtly demure smile and piquant glances had called him
to her side from the moment of their first meeting. And then the fetters, which were
still upon his legs:—how was he to get rid of them?
Tired and dispirited, he still wandered on. The young
lady—if she had come in here at all—had vanished. Her eyes were insane
with rage, crusted with yellow and green, only beginning
to heal from her long sojourn underground.
