Leonie‘s face was flushed, her eyes bright, and not only with the speed of her riding. There was‘a look of conâ€" trolled joy of hardly concealedâ€"triump»hi, as she pulled off her ridingâ€"coat and flunz it down on the divan. CHAPTER XX THE EVE OF OPPORTUNITY A dusky coolness in contrast to the blaze of heat outside filled Leonice‘s bedâ€"chamber. Pencils of golden light pierced here and there through the splitâ€"cane blinds which covered the windows and scrawled patterns upon the inlaid marbles of the floor and the veivetâ€"soft rugs of many colours which lay there. Leonie‘s quick light step came along the corridor; she entered, and the ayah, who had been squatting in a shadowy corner of the room, came forward, softâ€" footed, softâ€"eyed. "Quick my bath!" she said, and the native woman glided into the marbleâ€" tiled room adjoining, where the bath was sunk two steps down and lined with palest green marble. A huge fish of translucent jade lay at one end, seemingz almost alive under the moveâ€" ments of the water whoen the bath was The ayah set the silver taps running, and hurried back to kneel before her mistress and pull off her shoos. Her thin deft hands amnade undressing a quick business. Extended full length in her bath, her limbs more like ivoryâ€"white than ever througzh the greenish tinge of the water, her thoughts ran on, her imagination wove a gorgeous fabric unchecked. Imazination directed by will powerâ€" that was her surest and strongest weapon, which had brought her so far and would carry her farther still. . . For why she had set any limitations to hersel{ and her progress. If a sickly little artillery officer could take the command of the Army of Italy in his stride and become within half a dozen years, Consul, First Consulâ€" nperor, why need she, with the same blood, think of obstacles? Teonie sprang out of her bath quickâ€" ly.calling to the ayah, who came to dry her limbs. But she was too excited toâ€" day to submit for long to that soothing process; within a few minutes she was dressed in soft clinging silks, an exâ€" quisitely embreoidered sari, in the clingâ€" ing shades of grey, mauveâ€"purp‘» and melallic green of a dove‘s neck. With a hugze amethyst clasping her zown at the throat, with purple satin shoos on her fcet, she stood for a momâ€" ent looking at herself appraisingly. This was one ol the moments when her ov‘iward appearance concerned her,; contomplating the figure in the long mirror, she judged that it could be reâ€" lied upon to do its work. There was the seductiveness of the East there, joined to the s/mel foree of the Wost. Leonie left her room, passed quickly along the corridors, with their lattices of pierced marble, towards the library where the mecting was to be held. It was a room, ons side lined completely with bookceases of stsel and glass conâ€" taining Europzan printed works and a fine collection of Indian manuscripts and illuiminations, sPXCs% spect. tinged with admiration.
