"Mother isn’t flirting with Chester, if that’s what you mean. Orestes is not the easily flattered kind. And she didn’t say she admired him—only that she was sorry for him. He thought her whole position showed remarkable self-re-spect.” “She has that,” said Menelaos. "Did your husband say he thought she was extremely beautiful?” “No, only that she was far handsomer than he had been led to expect.” “You see—he’s cautious with you already! Don’t let him see her again, Hermione. It has happened too often for me to mistake the symptoms. He will talk to her for her good, and she will listen in the most docile flattery, and she won’t say a word that isn’t correct, but he will never get over it. “He’ll dream of her walking and sleeping, and in her honor he may finally throw away his life, as Paris did, though I doubt if she elopes with any more of them. You think you have a good husband. “I begin to see that keeping him out of this home was a kindness to you. If you only had shielded him from Helen!” “If there is any real danger,” said Hermione, “I wish I had thought of it in time. It’s easier not to get Orestes started than to stop him afterward. How do you think I had better divert him?” “Get him away if you can,” said

Menelaos. “If you begin telling him not to admire her, he’ll guess that you’re jealous. I wish I could tell him a few things!” “Wouldn’t he suspect that you 4pre jealous then?” said Hermione.' “And you wouldn’t talk to another man about your wife, would you? I come back to my first view—you do mother an injustice. “Don’t waste time talking to Orestes—talk to her. Last night, when he happened to be on the subject, Orestes made a wise remark, I thought; he said he imagined that some married people have never exchanged ideas with each other to the same extent as with their casual neighbors, because most marriages begin irrationally, In passion, and since there’s no connection between passion and intelligence, when the passion fades they don’t know how to proceed to the other form of discourse. “I thought that was clever, don’t you? It made me glad that he and I came together through—well, you might call it conviction, rather than a less worthy kind of attraction.” “Hm!” said Menelaos. “Your mother would say that passion is a form of intelligence. When she gets on that love-of-life talk, she makes me uncomfortable because I half think she means I don’t love her enough. I “When I first met htfr, she was no more beautiful than She is now, I dare say, but she had the added effect of novelty; you couldn’t conceive of such a person, if you hadn’t seen for yourself. “When she chose me, I won’t say I felt as though it were a dream, or anything of that sort; I just felt /that she had made a mistake. I couldn’t persuade myself that I belonged to that loveliness. “When we were safely married and I took her home, I was pretty much in torment; I wanted her, I had got her, and shte always seemed to be contemplating me as you might an infant, half amused; it seemed as though she were saying to herself, ‘He wants to worship this beauty!’ beauty! “ ‘Well, let him go ahead and worpoor child!’ The fact is, Hermione, I wasn’t up to it, and I never have been. I can’t do without her, and I don’t know what to do with her.

“Ordinary beauty calls for human embraces, in the love we are accustomed to speak of, but the men who have had Helen in their arms have all been baffled humbled; you can’t embrace a stream of music, or light on the sea. You needn’t tell me—l know she has craved a lover who would be her equal, but there is none. “In my heart I forgave her long ago, especially since Paris was no more of a success than I. The reason I didn’t kill her that night was that when I saw her there she seemed younger than ever, and strangely virginal; and it came over me that in the sense in which I have been speaking, nobody, not even I, had ever loved her, and since I had failed, there was no point in punishing her. “Os course, she was looking her best that night, too. But the moment we had words, I began to be irritated with her, as I was before Paris came. She is so inaccessible, she makes me feel so inadequate, she is so close to laughing at me most of the time. . . . Well, this is more than I intended to say. But you see, I understand your mother from my point of view, and since you have hers, as you think, you might as well have mine. “We shan’t be different now, not in any marked respect. She will be lovelier as she grows older, and I dare say I shall be more irritable.” “You really are in love with her, aren’t you?” said Hermione. “She’s not nearly so beautiful as you think her.” “I ought to have said,” Menelaos went on, “that the full quality of her charm has never been discernible to her own sex. The instinct of self-preservation, I suppose.” “Do you know,” said Hermione, “since you have confessed so much, I’ll admit that I’m jealous of mother. I mean, I’m afraid that her charm will upset Orestes. You’ve convinced me! I wish you’d help me, father!” “I’ll do anything I can.” “Then I’ve an idea—see Orestes tomorrow! If you’ll see him and forgive him in the hour he would have spent with mother, I’ll look after him from then on!” “Os course this isn’t a neat little plot!” said Menelaos. “You never intended to work me into a position where I’d have to receive your husband! Oh, no!” r CHAPTER IV ‘Your going is a special grief to me,” said Helen, “because I fear I’m partly the cause of It. I’m not accustomed to have people leave me.” “When Menelaos brought you

home,” said Eteeoneus, “I told him I was too old to take up with new ideas, and perhapys I ought to retire. It has been very wearing. “When I wake on the morning now, I catch myself groaning and saying instinctively, ‘My God, must I get up to It again!’ and at night when I go to bed my pulse isn’t steady—l’m all in a flutter. It’s time I got out.” “It must have been a frightful ordeal for you in the last weeks,” said Helen. “But it’s over now, don’t you think? If you stay with us, we can promise you quiet at least.” “Isn’t somebtedy going to kill Orestes?” said Eteeoneus. “That’s logically the next step. “Perhaps, but I believe he is safe. After all, he and Pyrrhus had a perfectly open fight, and the popular version is that they fought over Hermione. You know how people feel about such things. I quite understand your reluctance to report more of such adventures—the murder of Orestes, for example.” “But the difficulty isn’t in that sort of adventure; it’s in the gen-

eral atmosphere of the home,” said Eteoneus. “When you married Menelaos and came here I could see at once that something was going to happen. “The presentiment grew each year, until you finally ran away. That was a great relief to me, not because I disliked you, but because it cleared the air; I knew just where we stood.” “You are quite right,” said Helen. “I should have died at Troy.” “I didn’t like to say that,” said Eteoneus, “but you see for yourself! Now *we are back where we were when you first arrived. There is no prospect of a solution, I should say.” “I have an idea the solution has been found,” said Helen. “We have been concerned about Hermione's future. Any uneasiness of mind which the household have flit on that score should be blamed entirely on me. I deserted Hermione when she needed my guidance. “Since my return I’ve seen clearly what she lost by my absence, and I’m only sorry I can’t bear all the annoyance of her behavior myself. As for my love of Paris, I maintain

it was unavoidable, and I have no regrets for it. Deserting my daughter was another matter.” “It would be hard to keep the two episodes apart, I should think,” said Eteoneus. “Do you mean that if you fell in love with another visitor to the same extent, you would run away again?” “Certainly,” said Helen. “I’ll leave now while it’s quiet,” said Eteoneus. “I couldn’t go
