Don Juan.
Kate Bellamont gazed after the departing Lester until his receding
form became indistinct, and his dancing plume mingled with the
waving foliage of the forest into which he rode; she then bent her
ear and listened till his horse's feet ceased longer to give back a
sound, when, overcome by the depth and strength of her feelings,
she leaned her head upon the lattice and wept like a very child; at
length she recollected the duties that devolved upon her as
entertainer of the party of archers; and, forcing a calmness that she
did not feel, she descended to the lawn, and once more mingled in
the festivities of her birthday.
Notwithstanding all her self-possession, her eyes often filled with
tears when they should have lighted up with smiles; and even her
smiles were tinged with sadness! And how could it be otherwise,
when her heart and her thoughts were at no moment with the
scenes before her? She longed for the day to close—for the night to
approach—that she might fly to her solitary chamber, and there,
hidden from every eye, indulge her feelings. At length the long, long
day came to an end, and with it departed the youthful company on
horse-back to their several homes. A gay and gallant appearance the
cavalcade presented as it rode away from the castle—a youthful
cavalier prancing by the bridle of each maiden, and a band of armed
retainers of the several families bringing up the rear. Kate bade them
adieu, and stood in the hall-door following them with her eyes till
the last horseman was lost in the windings of the forest; she then
flew to her chamber, and, turning the bolt of her door, cast herself
upon her bed and once more gave free vent to the gushing tears
which she could no longer restrain.
Twilight was lost in night: the round moon rose apace, and, shining
through the Gothic lattice, fell in a myriad of diamond-shaped flakes
on the floor; yet had she not lifted her face from her pillow since
first she had buried it there, though the violence of her grief had
long since subsided; and so still was she that she seemed to sleep.
But the soft influence of this gentle blessing was a stranger to her
aching eyelids. Her soul was sad and dark! her sensitive spirit had
been wounded! the wing of her heart was broken. Her thoughts
rushed wild and tumultuous through her brain, and her young
bosom, torn by strong emotions, heaved like the billow when lashed
by the storm. She mourned in the silence of her heart's depths,
without solace, and without hope; condemning her own hasty act,
and, like a very woman, excusing his conduct by every invention that
her true love could find in palliation.
All at once she was disturbed by a light tap at her door. She started
suddenly, aroused from that world of troubled thought in which she
had so long been lost to the exclusion of everything external, and
lifted her face. Her surprise was great on seeing the moon looking in
upon her, and filling her little room with an atmosphere like floating
dust of silver. A glow of pleasure warmed her heart, and an
exclamation of delight unconsciously escaped from her lips—it was
so calmly bright, so richly beautiful! Like a blessing sent from
heaven, the sweet moonlight fell upon her soul, and all the softer
and holier sympathies of her nature were touched by its celestial
beauty. She approached the lattice and threw it open, forgetting the
cause that had aroused her from her mood of grief, in admiration of
the loveliness to which she had awakened.
A second tap was heard at her door. She started with instant
consciousness; and throwing back from her face the cloud of raven
ringlets that had fallen about it, tried to assume a cheerful look, and
bade the applicant enter.
"I can't, cousin Kate," said the sweet voice of Grace Fitzgerald, in a
low tone; "you have locked yourself in."
Kate blushed, stammered something, she scarcely knew what, in
excuse, and turning the key, admitted her mischievous cousin.
"In the dark, Kate!" exclaimed Grace, as she entered.
"'T were sacrilege, cousin, to bring a lamp in presence of this lovely
moon! Come stand by the lattice with me," she said, throwing her
arms about her and drawing her towards her.
The fair cousins leaned together from the window and looked out
upon the silvery scene. There was something in the quiet loveliness
of the lawn beneath, spangled with myriads of dewdrops like minute
fragments of diamonds; in the deep repose of the dark woods; in
the majesty of the ocean, which sent its heavy, sighing sound to
their ears with every passing breeze; in the glory of the glittering
firmament, with the moon like a bride walking in its midst, and in
their own lonely situation, which the silence of the castle and the
lateness of the hour contributed to increase, to make both silent and
thoughtful.
At length a deep sigh escaped the bosom of Kate, and Grace turned
to contemplate her unconscious face, as with thoughtful eyes, her
head resting in her hand, she gazed on vacancy, evidently thinking
on subjects wholly separated from the natural scenery before her.
"Dear Kate," said Grace, after watching for some time in silence the
sad, pale brow of her cousin, and speaking in a tone of tender and
affectionate sympathy; "dear Kate, I pity you!" She gently threw her
arms about her neck as she spoke, and, drawing her towards her,
kissed her cheek.
The touching sincerity of her manner, unusual to the merry maiden,
came directly home to her heart. She felt that she was understood;
that her sorrow was appreciated! She struggled with virgin coyness
for a few seconds, and then, yielding to her increasing emotions,
threw herself into her arms and wept there. How grateful to her full
heart to find another into which it could freely empty itself! How
happy, very happy was she, that that heart was, of all others, her
beloved cousin's! How unexpected her sympathy! How soothing,
how welcome to her sad and isolated bosom! At length she lifted her
face, and, smiling through her tears, said, after dwelling an instant
on the lovely features of her cousin,
"You are a sweet, noble creature, Grace! You don't know how happy
your kind sympathy has made me! and all so unlooked for! Yet I
know you will think me very silly; and I fear your natural spirit will
break out again, and that you will, ere long, ridicule what you now
regard with such sweet charity!"
"Believe me, Kate, I feel for you with all my heart. I could have cried
for you a dozen times to-day, when I saw how very unhappy you
looked!" she added, with tenderness beaming through her deep
shaded eyes.
"And yet, dear Grace, I think I never saw you so gay, nor those little
lips so rich with merry speeches," pursued Kate, playfully tapping
her rosy lips with her finger.
"It was for your sake, dear cousin Kate. I saw that your feelings
were wrought up to just that point when you must either laugh or
cry, and one as easy for you to do as the other; so, trembling lest, in
spite of yourself, you should lean towards the tragic vein, I did my
little best to make you laugh."
"You were a kind, generous creature, Grace," said the maiden, with
a glow of grateful energy in her manner. "I have not half known your
worth, though you have been full six months at Castle Cor."
"And now, just as you are beginning to know what a nice, good
cousin I turn out to be, I am, hey for merry England again!"
"I cannot part with you, Grace; my father must sail to-morrow
without you. You will stay with me, won't you?" she added, with
sportive earnestness.
"I have twice delayed my departure, and poor father will need my
nursing in this recent return of his old complaint. I fear we may not
meet again for many years. I shall then," she said, with her usual
thoughtlessness, "perhaps, find you Lady Lester! Forgive me, cousin
Kate," she instantly added, as she saw the expression of her face
change; "I am a careless creature, to wound at one moment where I
have healed at another. But," she added, with playful assurance,
"this may yet be even as I have said! Nay, don't shake your head so
determinedly! Lester is not so angry that a word from you will not
bring him to your feet."
"Cousin Grace, do you know what and of whom you are speaking?"
said Kate, startled that her feelings should have been so well
divined; shrinking with maidenly shame that the strength of her love
and the weakness of her resolution should be discovered to her
observing cousin, and involuntarily resenting, with the impulse of a
woman at such a time, the imputation.
"Indeed I do, dear coz! so do no injustice to your own feelings by
denying them. You will forgive Lester if I will bring him to your feet?"
she inquired, archly.
"Yes—no—that is—"
"That you will. Very well. Before to-morrow's sun be an hour old, he
shall kneel there."
"Not for the world, Grace!" she cried, trembling between fear and
hope; her love struggling with the respect due to her maidenly
dignity, which she could not but feel, still, that Lester had outraged.
"I don't care for your words, Kate; I know they mean just the
opposite of what you say. Robert Lester shall kneel at your feet to-
morrow morning, and sue for pardon for his offence," she added,
with gentle stubbornness.
"Without compromising my—" she half unconsciously began.
"I shall not compromise you in the least. There shall be no syllable
of concession on your part mentioned; let me manage it my own
way, and see if you do not love each other the better for it yet?"
"Coz!" she cried, placing her fore finger on her mouth reprovingly,
yet pleased and smiling with the first dawnings of bright returning
hope.
"I am glad to see you smile once more, and I am resolved you shall
yet be happy," added Grace, who had shown that, beneath the light
current of gayety that usually characterized her, there was a flow of
deep and generous feeling; and that, with all her thoughtless levity,
she was susceptible both of the sincerest attachment and of the
warmest friendship. Her words conveyed the germe of hope to the
breast of her cousin. Her confident manner inspired confidence; and
the happy Kate, giving herself up to the direction of the sanguine
feelings her language and presence had caused to spring up in her
sinking heart, became all at once a different being.
"If I am happy in the way you mean, I shall owe it all to you," she
said, kissing her. "Now for your plan, my sweet diplomatist."
"Now for my plan, then. That Lord Robert has gone home very angry
indeed, there can be no question. Now, when a lover is angry, justly,
with his mistress, he will be ever ready to meet her, not only half,
but the whole, of the way, to bring about a reconciliation. When he
has no right to be angry with her, and is so foolish as to be so, how
much the more readily then will he be brought to her feet! There is a
spice of argument for you. Now, as Lord Robert has no cause in the
world to be offended with you, it follows that he has every cause in
the world to induce him to acknowledge his offence, and ask pardon
therefor on the very first opportunity. Now all that he wants
cheerfully to do this, it appears to me, is the assurance that, after
such a philippic as that with which you were pleased to send him off,
he will be received graciously."
"But how, if I should be inclined to be gracious, sage cousin of mine,
is Lester to know it?"
"That will very easily be brought about, I think. Let me see!" and
she seemed to muse very profoundly for a few seconds. "Ha! I have
it. I will borrow that curious locket he gave you—"
"Locket, Grace—Lord Robert gave me!" repeated Kate, colouring,
and looking out of the lattice as if some interesting object had at
that moment drawn her attention.
"Yes," replied Grace, dryly, and with a look of the most provoking
positiveness.
"It is no use, I see, to conceal anything from you, mischief! How did
you know he gave it to me?"
"Young ladies are not wont to take from their bosoms a boughten
trinket, and slyly kiss it a hundred times a day, and—"
"Grace, Grace!" cried Kate, attempting to stop her saucy speech.
"And sleep with it under their pillow."
"Cousin Grace!"
"I have done," she said, quietly.
"You well may be. Oh, if I do not wish you had a lover, that I could
repay you in kind!"
"Perhaps I have!" was the imperturbable rejoinder of the maiden.
"I dare say fifty whom you call so. Among the gay Oxford gallants,
the heiress of a coronet could not be without admirers; but oh, if I
knew only of one lover who could set that little heart of yours a
trembling!"
"You forget your locket, cousin," said the other, gravely.
"What shall be done with it, Grace?"
"Send it to Lester, with this message: 'He who returns this gift of
love to her who sends it, shall with love be met.' Now is not that
very pretty, and as it should be?"
"What a wild creature! Would you have me send such a message to
Lester, child? He would think me jesting with him."
"No, never. Is it not just what you want to say—what you feel—what
you wish, above all things, he should know you feel?"
"Yes, indeed, Grace," she replied, with the most ingenuous naïveté.
"Then it shall go. Give me the token. Nay, part not with it so
reluctantly; 'twill soon be back, with a prize worth a thousand of it.
Give it me, coz. Nay, then, kiss it! and so will I."
"No, you shall not!" cried Kate, with laughing earnestness.
"Oh, I do hope I never shall be in love!" said Grace, getting
possession of the locket. "Here is pencil and paper. Can you write by
this moonlight? Lovers, methinks, should write by no other light."
She spread the paper on the window as she spoke.
"Write! what do you mean, Grace?" exclaimed Kate, with surprise.
"I mean for you to put down, in your nicest hand, my gem of a
message to Robert."
"Never, Grace. What will he think of me?"
"He will think you love him very much."
"Just what I don't wish him to think," she said, with singular
decision.
"Was there ever!" cried Grace, holding up both hands. "Well, this
love is an odd thing! What instinctive coquetry! Like John Milton's
Eve,
