What was the name on those
marriage lines you showed me?’
‘M—Melusine,’ stammered the woman, her countenance yet registering
shock. He moved her dress from her shoulders
and off her torso. Like
a thorough-bred racer, he would sustain twice as much fatigue as a person of
heavier mould. ‘Again you seek to interfere in my affairs?’
‘I did warn you I had every intention of doing so,’ said Gerald. Marvel. He wanted
to become a millionaire. What a mercy that the blow aimed at her by the ruffian,
Wild, though it brought her to the brink of the grave, should have restored her to
reason! Ah! she stirs. Why had Ruth married him? A penniless outcast, for she must
have known he was that. Of course I knew all about him years ago, and he is exactly like
everybody’s description of him. Take it, if I
die. Sometimes I think she’s tired of us. She was
marvellously pretty, but he was not quite sure—yet—that it was advisable for
him to sit with her in so public a place. The drunken beachcombers; the one-sided education; the utter loneliness of a
white child without playfellows, human or animal, without fairy stories, who for
days was left alone while the father visited neighbouring islands, these pictures
sank far below their actual importance.
