"I will go again, and as often as I can," says Hela. "Let us go together; maybe we can go to-day? It was so agreeable to me not only to look at that picture, but to think that such power appeared among us."
And people do not glorify that woman!
Then I hear further,—
"It is a pity that such strange things are told of that Magorski. I confess that I am dying of curiosity to know him."
"Ah!" says Eva, carelessly.
"Thou knowest him, I suppose?"
"I can assure thee that he loses much on closer acquaintance; presumptuous, vain, oh, how vain!"
I have such a desire to show Eva my tongue that I can barely restrain myself; she turns her roguish violet eyes toward me, and says,—
"Somehow thou hast lost appetite, grandfather?"
I'll show her my tongue; I can't restrain myself!
