For love lay lurking1 in the clouds and mist,
I heard him singing sweetly on the mountain side:
"'Tis all in vain you fly, for everywhere am I—
In every quiet valley, on every mountain side!"
In the clear, bird-like tones of Stella's voice the musical words floated from the open window of her room above and through the open French windows of the old man's studio.
With a little start he turned his head away from the easel and looked toward the door.
Stella had only been in the house three days, but he had already learned something of her habits, and knew that when he heard the beautiful voice singing at the window in the early morning, he might expect to see the owner of the voice enter shortly.
His expectation was not doomed4 to disappointment. The voice sounded on the stairs, in the hall, and a moment afterward5 the door opened and Stella stood looking smilingly into the room.
If he had thought her beautiful and winsome6 on that first evening of her coming, when she was weary with anxiety and traveling, and dressed in dust-stained clothes, be sure he thought her more beautiful still, now that the light heart felt free to reveal itself, and the shabby dress had given place to the white and simple but still graceful7 morning gown.
Mrs. Penfold had worked hard during those three days, and with the aid of the Dulverfield milliner had succeeded in filling a small wardrobe for "her young lady," as she had learned to call her. The old artist, ignorant of the power of women in[31] such direction, had watched the transformation8 with inward amazement9 and delight, and was never tired of hearing about dresses, and hats, jackets, and capes10, and was rather disappointed than otherwise when he found that the grand transformation had been effected at a very small cost.
