Pargeter has been asking for you, sir; he's in the card-room." Vanderlyn felt a curious sensation sweep over him. That which he had thought so improbable as to be scarcely worth consideration had come to pass. Pargeter had not gone to England that night. He was here, in Paris, at L'Union, asking for him. In a few moments they would be face to face.
He looked helplessly at Pargeter, then said suddenly, "I met my friend at L'Union last night." "Then you already knew of Madame's disappearance last night?" said the official eagerly. "No! no!" exclaimed Pargeter crossly. "Of course we didn't know then! We didn't know till just now that is, till this morning, when Mr. Vanderlyn went out to Madame de Léra's villa to fetch my wife.

Founded in memory of the hospitality shown by the English gentry to the French émigrées, during the Revolution, this, the most old-fashioned of Paris clubs, impales the Royal arms of France, that is, the old fleur-de-lys, with those of England. At all times L'Union has been in a special sense a resort of diplomatists, and Vanderlyn spent there a great deal of his spare time.
L'union libre as the French artist understands it was not in his social tradition, whatever might be his literary assimilation of French ideas. He might passionately adopt and defend it, because it was her will; none the less was he, at the bottom of his heart, both ashamed and afraid because of it.

There was the dusty "Grande Place," surrounded with even dustier trees and numerous cafes; the "Cafe du Progres"; the "Cafe de l'Union," and other stereotyped names familiar from a hundred French towns, and pale-faced civilians, with a few officers in uniform, were seated at the usual little tables in front of them.
The motto of modern Belgium, "L'Union fait la Force," was not yet invented, and there was no great and powerful authority in which they believed and about which they could gather. This history presents the picture of Ghent assisting an army of English soldiers to lay siege to Ypres.
Suddenly Vanderlyn caught sight of Pargeter, and that some moments before he himself was seen by him. The millionaire was standing watching a game of whist, and he looked as he generally looked when at L'Union, that is, bored and ill at ease, but otherwise much as usual.
