Deena was not often malicious, but she couldn't help wishing Simeon could have stood by to hear this announcement of a girlish mastery of his life's work. She tried to think in what dry words he would have rebuked the levity, but before she could arrange a phrase quite in character, they were in the front of the box, and in the obscurity some one took her hand, and Stephen French's voice murmured:
"What a piece of luck that I should see you to-night! I have only been in town a few hours, and obeyed my aunt's summons to the opera as a means of keeping myself from Ben's house till the morning. You can't think how eager I have been to see you again, Mrs.
Ponsonby."
There was a strange break in his voice, as if he were trying to restrain the rush of happiness.
All the six mighty artists who made the opera the marvel it was were combining their voices in the closing sextet of the fourth act, and Deena, thrilled by the loveliness of the music and, perhaps, by the surprise of French's presence, felt she was trembling with excitement.
