It was Cynthia, who had been waiting to see us alone. "You don't think Doctor Chapelle had anything to do with it?" she asked, in a hoarse whisper. "Then Hampton Haynes has been here?" avoided Kennedy. "Yes," she admitted, as though the question had been quite logical. "He told me of your visit to Carl." There was no concealment, now, of her anxiety. Indeed, I saw no reason why there should be.
Chapelle, the Prefecture of Police, and the Hôtel de Ville are all blazing without a possibility existing of any portion of any one of them being saved from the general wreck and ruin. The military are as far as the Pont Neuf on the left bank of the river, and just beyond the Hôtel de Ville on the right.
If the military situation did not look so black for the Allies at the end of May as it does this December, it looked black enough with the crumbling Russian resistance before Mackensen's phalanx. Neuve Chapelle had been a costly and empty victory. There had been no successful drive in Champagne and Artois to encourage those who bet only on winning cards.
One of the most important pieces of lead work in art is the figure of an angel on the chewet of Ste. Chapelle in Paris.
The sacrilege was repeated by Frederick Barbarossa in 1165, who went farther and forced Charlemagne to get up from his chair before him. The corpse, in rising, fell in pieces, which have been dispersed through Europe as relics. We saw such of them as remain here at the Chapelle.
The British Seventh Division at Festubert continued to work south along the German trenches. Its bayonets and bombs cleared the way before it. The plan was for them to continue toward Rue d'Ouvert, Chapelle St. Roch, and Canteleux. In the meantime the Second Division, on the left of the Seventh Division, was to fight its way to Rue du Marais and Violaines.
However, a newspaper experience gives you one thing, if no other assurance. "I believe you have a patient, a Miss Virginia Blakeley?" I ventured. "Miss Blakeley? Oh yes, and her sister, also." The mention of the names was enough. I was no longer needed as a buffer. "Chapelle," blurted out Hampton, "you must have done something to her when you treated her face.
Happily not very much of the Louvre is destroyed, and at the Palais Royal the fire was extinguished when only a portion of that building had been consumed. The Prefecture of Police is consumed, but the Palais de Justice is not, and the Sainte Chapelle has suffered but little injury. The greatest conflagration of to-day was that at the Grenier d'Abondance.
At that moment she would have flung everything in life away to rush into his arms! Denzil was wounded at Neuve Chapelle on March 10th, 1915, though not seriously a flesh wound in the side. He had done most gallantly and was to get a D.S.O. He had been in hospital for two weeks and was almost well when Amaryllis came up to Brook Street, on the first of April.
She even kept her seat for some moments, as she did not wish to show how angry she felt. She could hear Lucy Stewart laughing at the end of the next saloon, where she was treating a whole table of little women who had come from the public balls at Montmartre and La Chapelle.
