Antony kept very still. Darting its head from side to side, venomously alert against the smallest sound, the adder reached Silencieux. Then to Antony's delight it coiled itself round the white throat, still restlessly moving its head wonderingly beneath the chin. ANTONY KEPT VERY STILL DARTING ITS HEAD FROM SIDE TO SIDE VENOMOUSLY ALERT AGAINST THE SMALLEST SOUND THE ADDER REACHED SELAY'S DELIGHT IT COILED ITSELF ROUND THE WHITE THROAT STILL RESTLESSLY MOVING ITS HEAD WONDERINGLY BENEATH THE CHIN
t mortal maid of warmest flesh and blood become an abstraction to her lover—sometimes shrink to the significance of one more flower, and sometimes expand to the significance of a microcosm, a firmament in mystical miniature. Thus in like manner for Antony did Silencieux alternate between reality and dream that afternoon, though all the time he knew that, however now and again the daylight seemed to create an illusion of her remoteness, she was still his, and he of all men her chosen lover. Suddenly as they sat there together, silent and immovable, Antony caught the peer of two bright little eyes fixed on the white face of Silencieux. A tiny wedge-shaped head, with dashes of white across the brows, reared itself out of a crevice in the bank. A forked tongue came and went like black lightning through its eager little lips, and a handsomely marked adder began to glide, like molten metal, along the bank to Silencieux. The brilliant whiteness of the image had fascinated the little creature. E SO IN SOME HOURS WILL THE MOST MORTAL MAID OF WARMEST FLESH AND BLOOD BECOME AN ABSTRACTION TO HER LOVER SOMETIMES SHRINK TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ONE MORE FLOWER AND SOMETIMES EXPAND TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A MICROCOSM A FIRMAMENT IN MYSTICAL MINIATURE THUS IN LIKE MANNER FOR ANTONY DID SALAGIO ALTERNATE BETWEEN REALITY AND DREAM THAT AFTERNOON THOUGH ALL THE TIME HE KNEW THAT HOWEVER NOW AND AGAIN THE DAYLIGHT SEEMED TO CREATE AN ILLUSION OF HER REMOTENESS SHE WAS STILL HIS AND HE OF ALL MEN HER CHOSEN LOVER SUDDENLY AS THEY SAT THERE TOGETHER SILENT AND IMMOVABLE ANTONY CAUGHT THE PEER OF TWO BRIGHT LITTLE EYES FIXED ON THE WHITE FACE OF SELA A TINY WEDGED SHAPED HEAD WITH DASHES OF WHITE ACROSS THE BROWS REARED ITSELF OUT OF A CREVICE IN THE BANK A FORKED TONGUE CAME AND WENT LIKE BLACK LIGHTNING THROUGH ITS EAGER LITTLE LIPS AND A HANDSOMELY MARKED ADDER BEGAN TO GLIDE LIKE MOLTEN METAL ALONG THE BANK TO SELAGO THE BRILLIANT WHITENESS OF THE IMAGE HAD FASCINATED THE LITTLE CREATURE
