About ten o'clock the day following the extraordinary announcement given, a galley1 of three banks of oars2, classed a trireme, rounded the seaward jut3 of the promontory4 overhanging the property of the Princess Irene at Therapia.
The hull5 of the vessel6 was highly ornate with gilding7 and carving8. At the how, for figure-head, there was an image of the Madonna of the Panagia, or Holy Banner of Constantinople. The broad square sail was of cherry-red color, and in excellent correspondence, the oars, sixty to a side, were painted a flaming scarlet9. When filled, the sail displayed a Greek cross in golden filament10. The deck aft was covered with a purple awning11, in the shade of which, around a throne, sat a grave and decorous company in gorgeous garments; and among them moved a number of boys, white-shirted and bare of head, dispensing12 perfume from swinging censers. Forward, a body guard, chosen from the household troops and full armed, were standing13 at ease, and they, with a corps14 of trumpeters and heralds16 in such splendor17 of golden horns and tabards of gold as to pour enrichment over the whole ship, filled the space from bulwark18 to bulwark. The Emperor occupied the throne.
This galley, to which the harmonious19 movement of the oars gave a semblance20 of life, in the distance reminding one of a great bird fantastically feathered and in slow majestic21 motion, was no sooner hove in sight than the townspeople were thrown into ferment22. A flotilla of small boats, hastily launched, put out in racing23 order to meet and escort it into the bay, and before anchorage was found, the whole shore was astir and in excited babblement24.
A detachment of the guard was first landed on the quay25 in front of the Princess' gate. Accepting the indication, thither26 rushed the populace; for in truth, since the occupation of the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus by the Turks, the Emperor seldom extended his voyages far as Therapia. Then, descending27 the sides by carpeted stairs, the suite28 disembarked, and after them, amidst a tremendous flourish from the trumpet15 corps, Constantine followed.
The Emperor, in his light boat, remained standing during the passage to the shore that he might be seen by the people; and as he then appeared, helmed and in close-fitting cuirass, his arms in puffed29 sleeves of red silk, his legs, below a heavily embroidered30 narrow skirt, clothed in pliant31 chain mail intricately linked, his feet steel-shod, a purple cloak hanging lightly at the back from neck to heel, and spurred and magnificently sworded, and all agleam with jewels and gold, it must be conceded he justified32 his entitlement.
At sight of his noble countenance33, visible under the raised visor, the spectators lifted their voices in hearty34 acclamations--"God and Constantine! Live the Emperor!"
It really seemed as if the deadly factiousness35 of the capital had not reached Therapia. In the lifted head, the brightened eyes, the gracious though stately bows cast right and left, Constantine published the pleasure the reception was giving him.
A long flourish timed his march through the kiosk of the gate, and along the shell-strewn, winding36 road, to the broad steps leading to the portico37 of the palace; there, ascending38 first, he was received by the Princess.
Amid a group of maids in attendance, all young, fair, high-born, she stood, never more tastefully attired39, never more graceful40 and self-possessed, never more lovely, not even in childhood before the flitting of its virginal bloom; and though the portico was garden-like in decoration, vines, roses and flowering shrubs41 everywhere, the sovereign had eyes for her alone.
Just within the line of fluted42 pillars he halted, and drew himself up, smiling as became a suitor, yet majestic as became a king. Then she stepped forward, and knelt, and kissed his hand, and when he helped her to her feet, and before the flush on her forehead was gone, she said:
"Thou art my sovereign and benefactor43; nor less for the goodnesses thou hast done to thy people, and art constantly doing, welcome, O my Lord, to the house thou didst give me."
"Speak not so," he replied. "Or if it please thee to give me credit, be it for the things which in some way tried me, not those I did for reward."
"Reward!"
"Ay, for such are pleasure and peace of mind."
Then one by one, she naming them as they advanced, her attendants knelt, and kissed the floor in front of him, and had each a pleasant word, for he permitted none to excel him in decorous gallantry to good women.
In return, he called the officers of his company according to their rank; his brother, who had afterward44 the grace to die with him; the Grand Domestic, general of the army; the Grand Duke Notaras, admiral of the navy; the Grand Equerry (Protostrator); the Grand Chancellor45 of the Empire (Logothete); the Superintendent46 of Finance; the Governor of the Palace (Curopalate); the Keeper of the Purple Ink; the Keeper of the Secret Seal; the First Valet; the Chief of the Night Guard (Grand Drumgaire); the Chief of the Huntsmen (Protocynege); the Commander of the Body Guard of Foreigners (Acolyte); the Professor of Philosophy; the Professor of Elocution and Rhetoric47; the Attorney General (Nornophylex); the Chief Falconer (Protojeracaire) and others--these he called one by one, and formally presented to the Princess, not minding that with many of them she was already acquainted.
They were for the most part men advanced in years, and right well skilled in the arts of courtiership. The empressement of manner with which they saluted48 her was not lost upon her woman's instinct; infinitely50 quick and receptive, she knew without a word spoken, that each left his salute49 on her hand believing it the hand of his future Empress. Last of those presented was the Dean of the Court. He was noticeably formal and distant; besides being under the eye of his master, the wily diplomat52 was more doubtful of the outcome of the day's visit than most of his colleagues.
"Now," the Princess said, when the presentation was finished, "will my most noble sovereign suffer me to conduct him to the reception room?"
The Emperor stepped to her side, and offered his hand. "Pardon, Sire," she added, taking the hand. "It is necessary that I speak to the Dean."
And when the worthy53 came to her, she said to him: "Beyond this, under the portico, are refreshments54 for His Majesty's suite. Serve me, I pray, by leading thy colleagues thither, and representing me at the tables. Command the servants whom thou wilt55 find there."
Now the reader must not suppose he is having in the foregoing descriptions examples of the style of ceremonials most in fashion at the Greek court. Had formality been intended, the affair would have been the subject of painstaking56 consideration at a meeting of officials in the imperial residence, and every point within foresight57 arranged; after which the revolution of the earth might have quickened, and darkness been unnaturally58 precipitated59, without inducing the slightest deviation60 from the programme.
When resolving upon the visit, Constantine considerately thought of the Princess' abhorrence61 of formality, and not to surprise her, despatched the Dean with notice of the honor intended. Whereupon she arranged the reception to suit herself; that is, so as to remain directress of the occasion. Hence the tables under the portico for the entertainment of the great lords, with the garden open to them afterward. This management, it will be perceived, left Constantine in her separate charge.
So, while the other guests went with the Dean, she conducted the Emperor to the reception room, where there were no flowers, and but one armless chair. When he was seated, the two alone, she knelt before him, and without giving him time to speak, said, her hands crossed upon her bosom62: "I thank my Lord for sending me notice of his coming, and of his purpose to invite me to share his throne. All night I have kept the honor he intended me in mind, believing the Blessed Mother would listen to my prayers for wisdom and right direction; and the peace and confidence I feel, now that I am at my Lord's feet, must be from her.... Oh, my Lord, the trial has not been what I should do with the honor, but how to defend you from humiliation63 in the eyes of your court. I wish to be at the same time womanly and allegiant. How gentle and merciful you have been to me! How like a benignant God to my poor father! If I am in error, may Heaven forgive me; but I have led you here to say, without waiting for the formal proposal, that while you have my love as a kinswoman and subject, I cannot give you the love you should have from a wife."
Constantine was astonished.
"What!" he said.
Before he could get further, she continued, sinking lower at his feet:
"Ah me, my Lord, if now thou art thinking me bold and forward, and outcast from natural pride, what can I but plead the greater love I bear you as my benefactor and sovereign? ... It may be immodest to thus forestall64 my Lord's honorable intent, and decline being his wife before he has himself proposed it; yet I pray him to consider that with this avowal65 from me, he may go hence and affirm, God approving the truth, that he thought better of his design, and did not make me any overture66 of marriage, and there will be no one to suffer but me.... The evil-minded will talk, and judge me punished for my presumption67. Against them I shall always have a pure conscience, and the knowledge of having rescued my Lord from an associate on his throne who does not love him with wifely devotion."
Pausing there, the Princess looked into his face, her own suffused68. His head drooped69; insomuch that the tall helmet with its glitter, and the cuirass, and fine mail reenforced by the golden spurs and jewelled sword and sword-harness, but deepened the impression of pain bewrayed on his countenance.
"Then it is as I have heard," he said, dejectedly. "The rustic70 hind71 may have the mate of his choice, and there is preference allowed the bird and wild wolf. The eye of faith beholds73 marriages of love in meeting waters and in clouds brought together from diverse parts. Only Kings are forbidden to select mates as their hearts declare. I, a master of life and death, cannot woo, like other men."
The Princess moved nearer him.
"My Lord," she said, earnestly, "is it not better to be denied choice than to be denied after choosing?"
"Speakest thou from experience?" he asked.
"No," she answered, "I have never known love except of all God's creatures alike."
"Whence thy wisdom then?"
"Perhaps it is only a whisper of pride."
"Perhaps, perhaps! I only know the pain it was intended to relieve goes on." Then, regarding her moodily74, not angrily, nor even impatiently, he continued: "Did I not know thee true as thou art fair, O Princess, and good and sincere as thou art brave, I might suspect thee."
"Of what, my Lord?"
"Of an intent to compass my misery75. Thou dost stop my mouth. I may not declare the purpose with which I came--I to whom it was of most interest --or if I do, I am forestopped saying, 'I thought better of it, and told her nothing.' Yet it was an honorable purpose nursed by sweet dreams, and by hopes such as souls feed upon, strengthening themselves for trials of life; I must carry it back with me, not for burial in my own breast, but for gossips to rend76 and tear, and make laughter of--the wonder and amusement of an unfeeling city. How many modes of punishment God keeps in store for the chastening of those who love Him!"
"It is beggarly saying I sympathize"--
"No, no--wait!" he cried, passionately77. "Now it breaks upon me. I may not offer thee a seat on my throne, or give a hand to help thee up to it; for the present I will not declare I love thee; yet harm cannot come of telling thee what has been. Thou hadst my love at our first meeting. I loved thee then. As a man I loved thee, nor less as an Emperor because a man. Thou wast lovely with the loveliness of the angels. I saw thee in a light not of earth, and thou wert transparent78 as the light. I descended79 from the throne to thee thinking thou hadst collected all the radiance of the sun wasting in the void between stars, and clothed thyself in it."
"Oh, my Lord"--
"Not yet, not yet"--
"Be it so!" he answered, with greater intensity81. "This once I speak as a lover who was--a lover making last memories of the holy passion, to be henceforth accounted dead. Dead? Ah, yes!--to me--dead to me!"
She timidly took the hand he dropped upon his knee at the close of a long sigh.
"It may rest my Lord to hear me," she said, tearfully. "I never doubted his fitness to be Emperor, or if ever I had such a doubt, it is no more. He has conquered himself! Indeed, indeed, it is sweet to hear him tell his love, for I am woman; and if I cannot give it back measure for measure, this much may be accepted by him--I have never loved a man, and if the future holds such a condition in store for me, I will think of my Lord, and his strength and triumph, and in my humbler lot do as he has so nobly done. He has his Empire to engage him, and fill his hours with duties; I have God to serve and obey with singleness. Out of the prison where my mother died, and in which my father grew old counting his years as they slowly wore away, a shadow issued, and is always at hand to ask me, 'Who art thou? What right hast thou to happiness?' And if ever I fall into the thought so pleasant to woman, of loving and being loved, and of marriage, the shadow intervenes, and abides82 with me until I behold72 myself again bounden to religion, a servant vowed83 to my fellow creatures sick, suffering, or in sorrow."
Then the gentle Emperor fell to pitying her, and asked, forgetful of himself, and thinking of things to lighten her lot, "Wilt thou never marry?"
"I will not say no, my Lord," she answered. "Who can foresee the turns of life? Take thou this in reply--never will I surrender myself to wedlock84 under urgency of love alone. But comes there some great emergency, when, by such sacrifice, I may save my country, or my countrymen in multitude, or restore our holy religion overthrown85 or in danger, then, for the direct God-service there may be in it, I could give myself in contract, and would."
"Without love?" he asked.
"Yes, without loving or being loved. This body is not mine, but God's, and He may demand it of me for the good of my fellow-men; and, so there be no tarnishment of the spirit, my Lord, why haggle86 about the husk in which the spirit is hidden?"
She spoke51 with enthusiasm. Doubt of her sincerity87 would have been blasphemous88. That such fate should be for her, so bright, pure and heroic! Not while he had authority! And in the instant he vowed himself to care of her by resolution strong as an oath. In thought of the uncertainties89 lowering over his own future, he saw it was better she should remain vowed to Heaven than to himself; thereupon he arose, and standing at her side, laid a hand lightly upon her head, and said solemnly:
"Thou hast chosen wisely. May the Blessed Mother, and all the ministering angels, in most holy company, keep guard lest thou be overtaken by calamity90, sorrow and disappointment. And, for me, O Irene!"--his voice shook with emotion--"I shall be content if now thou wilt accept me for thy father."
She raised her eyes, as to Heaven, and said, smiling: "Dear God! How Thou dost multiply goodnesses, and shower them upon me!"
He stooped, and kissed her forehead.
"Amen, sweet daughter!"
Then he helped her to her feet.
"Now, while thou wert speaking, Irene, it was given me to see how the betrothal91 I was determined92 upon would have been a crime aside from wresting93 thee from the service of thy choice. Phranza is a true and faithful servant. How know I but, within his powers, and as he lawfully94 might, he has contracted me by treaty to acceptance of the Georgian? Thou hast saved me, and my ancient Chamberlain. Those under the portico are conspirators95. But come, let us join them."
