Does the heartof the advancing Easter-tide hold the magic spell? Those who chance tosee her now note it, and think it strange. "No, " they murmur, "will beher answer. But it is her Duty that bids her, and she must obey. " The silken curtain is torn down and the light of day completes thetriple story of this, my Lady of the Picture. The cold glitter is gonefrom about the eyes, and the old soft light has returned, and yet it isnot the same as of old. The fatal Shadow round about the sweet mouth i...sbut a bare outline--a shade, not a Shadow any more.
Again the pretty white gown is loose--flowing and beautiful. The thoughtof the grand old Dame, proud of her beauty and proud of her ancientcoronet, vanishes with the morning mist of the Easter-tide. Again thedainty lace that clings to her slender white and flower-like throat, softens and grows creamy and weblike, free from the bleachment andcrystallization of a while ago. Again the face is barely more than pale. The deep color has faded away, leaving but a faint, delicate trace, anda pinky tinge which reaches out until it kisses the utmost tip of herperfect little ear.
