I was so afraid you were one of the men who just say, 'How d'ye do'
and 'Good-bye,' and think they've paid a call."
"I called to see you to-night, and I should not have gone till I had
seen you. I'm rather a persistent man in some things."
"Yes," said Leonore, bobbing her head in a very knowing manner, "Miss De
Voe told me."
"Mr. Stirling," said Mrs. D'Alloi, "can't you tell us the meaning of the
Latin motto on this seal?" Mrs. D'Alloi held a letter towards him, but
did not stir from her position across the room.
Peter understood the device. He was to be drawn off, and made to sit by
Mrs. D'Alloi, not because she wanted to see him, but because she did not
want him to talk to Leonore. Peter had no intention of being dragooned.
So he said: "Madame Mellerie has been telling me what a good Latin
scholar Miss D'Alloi is. I certainly shan't display my ignorance, till
she has looked at it." Then he carried the envelope over to Leonore,
and in handing it to her, moved a chair for her, not neglecting one for
himself.
