Red Money Materialism is the outcome of Indian doctrines, transmitted through the mysteries of Isis to Chaldea and Egypt, and brought to Greece by Pythagoras, one of the demigods of humanity. Catherine De Medici How can we, as Hebrews, defile ourselves with meats, portions of which are offered to idols, and with wine sacrificed to the gods of Chaldea? The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon When our first parents left the Earthly Paradise, they and their sons and daughters and all the peoples to come wandered by foot into Chaldea and Arabia. 1492 Chaldea began the march of kingdoms 2,200 years before Christ. New Forces in Old China An Inevitable Awakening Kara, under the direction of Chaldea, found the bullet in the trunk of the elm tree which was in the line of fire. Red Money If Chaldea, Assyria, Babylon, presented stupendous and venerable antiquities reaching far back into the night of time, Persia was not without her wonders of a later date. History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science From this, Chaldea shall hereafter reap abundant harvests. The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon Not Chaldea appeared more ancient, nor the Pyramids of Egypt more abstruse; and I heard time measured by "the drums and tramplings" of immemorial conquests, and saw myself the creature of an hour. The Wrecker Then Egypt arose to rule not only over the northeastern part of Africa, but over half of Arabia and all of the preceding territory of Chaldea. New Forces in Old China An Inevitable Awakening His lordship was informed of the forged letter by Chaldea the gypsy girl, who found it in Sir Hubert's tent, and for the sake of your family wished to get Silver out of the country. Red Money See here, Chaldea, you are dangerous, because this silly love of yours has warped your common sense. Red Money With a firm step, and a calm look, and with full confidence in the God of Israel, the Hebrew youth once more marched into the presence of the King of Chaldea. The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon She loved him too much to approve of his careless leave-taking, and therefore she frowned darkly, as she turned her attention to Chaldea. Red Money Since Chaldea hung round the house, like a moth round a candle, she saw every one who came and went from the woodland cottage. Red Money Then Jane inquired why Lambert had brought Chaldea to the house, and what had passed in the library, but received no answer, save a growl. Red Money Immediately, Chaldea guessed that Lady Agnes was on her way to the cottage, and, as Lambert was alone as usual for the afternoon, the two would probably have a private conversation. Red Money I cannot, for my part," said Scribbo, "see the propriety of elevating these contemptible captives to share equal privileges with the native sons of Chaldea. The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon "No. Oh, no; oh, no," sang Chaldea, whirling round and round in quite a magical manner. Red Money The news that the millionaire was a gypsy had astonished him at first; but now that he considered the man's dark coloring and un-English looks, he quite believed that what Chaldea said was true. Red Money Chaldea, lying at length amongst the crushed and fragrant flowers, herself in her parti-colored attire scarcely distinguishable from the rainbow blossoms, was puzzled by the way in which the two reined in their obvious passions. Red Money I shall say nothing to Agnes until I know what is best to be done about Chaldea. Red Money This day broke on the capital of Chaldea with unusual brightness. The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon "It is as I choose, sister," replied Pine quietly, for since Chaldea had got the better of him, it was useless to quarrel with her. Red Money Chaldea visited him, as usual, to be painted, and brought Kara with his green coat and beloved violin and hairy looks. Red Money But the woman, having acted from a high sense of duty, which Chaldea could not rise to, evidently was determined to continue to be a martyr. Red Money Chaldea would fain have lingered in order to charm the man she loved into subjection; but he never gave her the least encouragement, so she was obliged to stay away. Red Money Ah! where is the power that can compete with Chaldea? The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon He spoke to the fiddle and the fiddle spoke to him, probably about Chaldea, since the girl was almost incessantly in his thoughts. Red Money "Gentile but not gentle," said Chaldea punning, then checked herself lest she should say too much. Red Money Neither one of the two noticed Chaldea crouching amongst the flowers. Red Money Apparently he did not trust Chaldea as much as she wanted him to. Red Money If Jehovah interferes in your behalf, there is not fire enough in all Chaldea to injure a hair of your head. The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon From the wood came the fierce and stirring Slav music, and Chaldea's whole expressive body answered to every note as a needle does to a magnet. Red Money "Brother?" questioned Chaldea, standing in the glory of the rosy sunset which slanted through the trees. Red Money Of course the interview had been innocent, and Chaldea knew that such was the case. Red Money "I—I—see, here, Chaldea, I am not going to talk over such things with you, as my affairs are not your business." Red Money Chaldea, at this time, was the seat of science and learning. The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon "You defy me?" panted Chaldea, her breast rising and falling quickly. Red Money "I meddle now," snapped Chaldea, and walked away in her usual free and graceful manner. Red Money He did not know whether Chaldea was cheating the Gentile, or cheating him; but he gathered that in either case, she had been repulsed. Red Money Chaldea, remembering the conversation she had overheard between Pine and Miss Greeby, speedily reached the conclusion that the neat little man was the secretary referred to therein. Red Money "The rye!" said Chaldea, with a gasp, and a hopeful look on her face. Red Money Chaldea looked hard at his face, upon which the red firelight played brightly, but could not read what was in his mind. Red Money Chaldea stood up, suddenly recollecting what had been said by Pine's wife. Red Money "I—I—want you—to—to—love me," sobbed Chaldea, grovelling on the grass. Red Money Pine frowned and looked uneasy, remembering that Chaldea knew of his Gentile masquerading. Red Money "I must tell Chaldea not to go near The Manor," he muttered. Red Money Pine, in the character of a horse-coper, saw him out of the camp, and was staring after him when Chaldea, on the watch, touched his shoulder. Red Money "The five thousand pounds you intimate is on account, yet you say that Chaldea will deliver the letter for that sum." Red Money "I shall leave you to have your fortune told, Clara, and follow Chaldea to pacify her." Red Money The letter held by Chaldea certainly set the snare in which Sir Hubert was caught. Red Money "Well, then, Chaldea hating you, says that you wrote the letter." Red Money "Chaldea has it, and will not give it up unless she receives five thousand pounds," answered the man glibly. Red Money "You say that Chaldea holds a letter which inveigled my husband to his death?" demanded Lady Agnes coolly. Red Money In her opinion Chaldea was much too good-looking, let alone clever, for Lambert to deal with alone. Red Money Chaldea went to the tent of your husband in the camp and found it in the pocket of his coat. Red Money "Chaldea can prove that he was at his cottage, and—" "You had better go," said Lady Agnes, turning white and looking dangerous. Red Money On her side Chaldea ostentatiously addressed her conversation to Lambert. Red Money "I have no friends, my Gentile lady," retorted Chaldea, with a fiery spark in each eye. Red Money Her faculties, sharpened by years of chicanery, told her from the look which Miss Greeby had given when Lambert followed Chaldea, that a desire to marry the man was the wish in question. Red Money Chaldea did not pay attention to the greater part of this speech, as only one statement appealed to her. Red Money She set a trap for him," cried Chaldea fiercely, "and Hearne walked into it like a rabbit into a snare. Red Money If this," Chaldea held up the bullet again jeeringly, "fits the pistol of the big rye he will swing for sure. Red Money In a somewhat discontented mood, she turned away, feeling that, so far, Chaldea had the whip-hand. Red Money "Hullo, Chaldea," he said leisurely, and leaning against one of the moss-grown monoliths, "what are you doing here?" Red Money "There is a gypsy girl there called Chaldea." Red Money I love you, and—" "Have done with this nonsense, Chaldea. Red Money The old lady had no great love for Chaldea, who flouted her authority, and would not, therefore, be very kindly disposed towards the girl. Red Money "She hates Chaldea, and I suspect that Chaldea has something to do with the matter of this conspiracy." Red Money Chaldea—so he interpreted the dance—swayed gracefully from the hips, without moving her feet, in the style of a Nautch girl. Red Money "Chaldea wants me to marry her, you know." Red Money "I wash my own shirt," said Chaldea, significantly, and sprang up the steps of her gaily-painted caravan to shut herself in. Red Money It was not, as she speedily decided, for a single cry from Chaldea would bring the gypsies round to protect their new queen. Red Money "Twenty thousand for himself and five thousand for Chaldea." Red Money For this reason Chaldea sought out the Servian gypsy, who was her slave. Red Money "Why is Chaldea jealous of you?" he demanded angrily. Red Money "Kushto bak to the rye, who showed it to the lady," said Chaldea, tossing her head so that the golden coins jingled. Red Money "May I die in a ditch if I did!" cried Chaldea vehemently. Red Money The young man believed, in some vague way, that Chaldea had originated the conspiracy which had to do with the letter, and was carrying her underhand plans to a conclusion with the aid of Silver. Red Money "It will come—I can wait," insisted Chaldea sullenly. Red Money Meanwhile, since she was on the spot and desired to gather all possible evidence connected with Chaldea's apparent knowledge of the crime, Miss Greeby went straight from Lambert's cottage to the gypsy camp. Red Money I know about the letter for certain, since Chaldea showed it to me, when I went to ask questions about the murder in the hope of gaining the reward. Red Money Chaldea hates you because the fool has chosen to fall in love with me. Red Money Do you think that to hurt me, Noel, Chaldea might have—" "No! Red Money Perhaps it would have been better to temporize but that would have meant a surrender young to Chaldea's unmaidenly wooing. Red Money "That is what we have to find out from Chaldea!" Red Money But, of course, he might prefer dark beauties like Chaldea. Red Money However, Chaldea has the letter, according to Silver, and we must make her give it up. Red Money "Do you think Chaldea wrote the letter?" she asked, having obeyed him. Red Money After all, it would be best to go to London for a time to wait until he saw what Chaldea would do. Red Money It was plain that Mrs. Tribb knew of Chaldea's admiration for her master, and could not understand why he wished her to enter the house when Lady Agnes was present. Red Money Chaldea told me so, when she was trying to make me fall in love with her. Red Money It was to Chaldea's interest that Pine should not live, since she loves you, and I don't think she is to blame. Red Money I go back to the wood in Hengishire, my dear, to bring about much that will astonish Chaldea—curses on her evil heart. Red Money This was merely on the surface, however, for the artist was desperately wretched, because the other half of himself was married to another man, while Chaldea, getting neither love-look nor caress, felt savagely discontented. Red Money Needless to say, Garvington did not welcome his cousin enthusiastically when he entered the library to find him waiting with Chaldea beside him. Red Money "He thinks that you are a fool, as I do, my Gorgious," said Chaldea scornfully. Red Money It came when the pair entered the cottage, for then Chaldea ran swiftly in a circle toward the monoliths, and crouched down behind one. Red Money "Because I want revenge," cried Chaldea, stepping forward and striking so hard a blow on the table that the dishes jumped. Red Money As for Kara, he had long since loved Chaldea, who treated him like a dog, and he could not help seeing that she adored the Gentile artist—a knowledge which almost broke his heart. Red Money "Remember that Silver and Chaldea practically accuse us of murdering your husband." Red Money Miss Greeby, with crossed legs and leaning on her bludgeon, listened to the voluble speech of Mother Cockleshell, which was occasionally interrupted by Chaldea. Red Money "Things have changed," cried out Chaldea with a mocking laugh. Red Money It was for this reason that Chaldea had raised the standard of rebellion, and for this reason also she gained her triumph. Red Money It might be that she would discover something which Pine—Chaldea now thought of him as Pine—might like to know. Red Money Aha," sneered Chaldea contemptuously, "you take me for a fool, saying more than I can do. Red Money "But Chaldea is artful, and knows the rye." Red Money I will do Chaldea the justice to say that I don't believe she asks a single penny for the letter. Red Money Yes, and to see Chaldea, and to call on Silver, who is living in my old cottage. Red Money Agnes was tall and slender, and moved with a great air of dignity and calm self-possession, and this to the uncontrolled Chaldea was also a matter of offence. Red Money "As to Chaldea shooting Pine—" "Leave it to me, leave it to me, ma'am," said the old gypsy with a grandiloquent wave of her dirty hand. Red Money Passing by Chaldea's caravan she spat on it and muttered a word or so, which did not indicate that she wished a blessing to rest on it. Red Money What Mother Cockleshell knew, she did not guess; what Mother Cockleshell intended to do, she could not think; but she was satisfied that Chaldea would in some way pay for her triumph. Red Money "He came to me a long time before Christmas and said that Chaldea found this," she flourished the letter before her brother's eyes, "in Hubert's tent when he was masquerading as Hearne." Red Money But there was no need for Chaldea to ask her jealous heart where she had gone. Red Money It appeared that Chaldea, being pretty and unscrupulous, and having gained, by cunning, a wonderful influence amongst the younger members of the tribe, was insisting that she should be elected its head. Red Money Chaldea dodged him in the alert way of a wild animal. Red Money Chaldea was told so by the dead, and told me, my lady. Red Money "I wish you wouldn't speak the calo jib to me, Chaldea," said Lambert, smiling on the beautiful eager face. Red Money Taken up with his own private troubles, Lambert did not pay much attention to those of the tribe, and looked about for Chaldea. Red Money Chaldea's looks had been damaged and roughened by wind and rain, by long tramps, and by glaring sunshine. Red Money "Take me to her then," replied the other, and rapidly gathered into her brain all she could of Chaldea's appearance. Red Money And, like Lord Burleigh's celebrated nod, Chaldea's wink could convey volumes. Red Money Chaldea did not open her mouth, but simply snapped her fingers twice or thrice rapidly. Red Money Chaldea, who did not stand on ceremony, walked to the end of the camp without paying any attention to the excited gypsies, and flung back the flap of the old woman's tent. Red Money Thinking of these things, Miss Greeby abandoned the subject of Chaldea, and of her possible love for Lambert, and exclaimed impulsively, "Why don't you chuck civilization and strike the out-trail?" Red Money Shortly she saw the artist chatting with Chaldea at the beginning of the path which led to his cottage. Red Money Her rough merriment and masculine looks showed Chaldea that, as a rival, she was not to be feared, so the angry expression on the dark face changed to a wheedling smile. Red Money By his side stood Chaldea, and her eyes glittered, as she came to the point of explanation without any preamble. Red Money When Chaldea made her abrupt entrance he was talking volubly to Pine, and the millionaire addressed him—when he answered—as Silver. Red Money Chaldea laughed, and blew from her fingers a feather, carelessly picked up while in the thicket which had concealed her eavesdropping. Red Money "It's a Gorgio my heart is set on," pursued Chaldea steadfastly. Red Money "I love you—I love you," panted Chaldea from the grass, where he had thrown her. Red Money Chaldea gathered herself up with the spring of a tigress, and in a moment was at his elbow with her face black with rage. Red Money Pine knew only too well, since Chaldea had impressed him thoroughly with the fact that she had overheard many of his secrets. Red Money "There are rabbits and rabbits," said Chaldea sententiously. Red Money But Chaldea knew how to manage this part of the business, risky though it was. Red Money "What a mine of wisdom you are," jeered Chaldea, nodding. Red Money Chaldea's eyes flashed and her cheeks grew crimson. Red Money And quite right, too, thought Chaldea, although she had no notion of permitting such an elopement to take place. Red Money But while arranging what she should do, if Lambert proved obstinate, Chaldea also arranged to fascinate him, if possible, into loving her. Red Money So searching was the thin moonlight that he recognized Chaldea at once, as she wandered here and there restless as a butterfly, and apparently as aimless. Red Money Chaldea's eyes flashed, and she made a hasty sign to attract the happy omen of his saying to herself. Red Money But Chaldea was born in the country whence she takes her name. Red Money As soon as the coast was clear, Chaldea stole like a snake along the ground, through the high herbage of the garden, and beyond the circle of the mysterious monoliths. Red Money "No," declared Chaldea curtly, and shot a swift glance at Lambert. Red Money Chaldea knew her at once, having often seen her when she had come to visit Mother Cockleshell a few months previously. Red Money She had every reason to be after the picturesqueness of the camp in general, and Chaldea in particular, for Mother Cockleshell looked like a threadbare pew-opener, or an almshouse widow who had seen better days. Red Money "Wicked words," muttered Chaldea tossing her black locks. Red Money In the second place, Chaldea was piqued to think that Lambert should prove to be so indifferent to her undeniable beauty, as to love this pale shadow of a Gentile lady. Red Money And there was a good deal of the dangerous beast-of-prey beauty about Chaldea, which was enhanced by her picturesque dress. Red Money |
