What terror had Zara seen through that window, that had startled her so, just before we discovered and confessed our mutual love? Whatever it may have been, no evidence of it remained, to suggest disquiet in my own present sense of security.
Bessie, overjoyed by Paw Hoover's kindness and his promise to do nothing toward having her taken back to Hedgeville, spent the rest of the afternoon happily. Indeed, she was happier than she could ever remember having been before. But her joy was dashed when, a little while before supper, she came upon Zara, crying bitterly.
"The way he acted makes it look as if that was just why he was here, too," said Dolly. "He was sneaking around, and he certainly didn't seem very pleased when Bessie found him." "He did his best to squirm away," said Bessie. "If Zara hadn't been so nervous while we were eating supper I would never have thought of going after him, either.
Brack knows that, too, if he doesn't and he knows, also, that I know one or two things about him that make it a good idea for him to be careful, unless he wants to be disbarred." "Then you'll keep on working and you'll try to find out what's become of Zara, too?" "Yes. I looked up the number that Bessie saw the number of that car. And it's just as I thought.
He looked so completely what he ought to look, she thought magnificently healthy and handsome, and perfectly groomed. No mother could help being proud of him. "Tristram, dear boy, now tell me all about it," she said. "There is hardly anything to tell you, Mother, except that I am going to be married about the 25th of October and you will be awfully nice to her to Zara won't you?"
Zara el-Khala had committed no crime, but her sudden flight for it looked like flight you will agree was highly suspicious. And as I sat there in my office filled with all sorts of misgivings, in ran one of the men engaged in watching the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke had been seized with illness as he left his box in the Montmartre theatre and had died before his car could reach the hotel!
The man had moved quickly past Madame Zara, and had started toward the hotel, and Zara had held out her hand to him, as though to entreat him to remain. But he did not stop, and she had taken a few uncertain steps after him, and had then, much to the American's dismay, fallen limply on her back on the soft sand.
Zara el-Khala had at this time established a reputation which extended beyond those circles from which the regular patrons of this establishment were exclusively drawn and which had begun to penetrate to all parts of Paris. You will remember that it was the extraordinary circumstance of her remaining at this obscure place of entertainment so long which had first interested me in the lady.
"You'll see a farm where everything is done the way it should be, and, while I think Paw Hoover's a mighty nice man, I've got an idea that on his farm everything is done just about opposite to the proper fashion." "When are we going, Miss Eleanor?" Zara asked that question.
"Yes, I know," said Zara, seating herself on a stump and swinging her legs to and fro, after she had kissed Bessie, still laughing. "I'm not afraid of her, though, Bessie. She'd never catch me she can't run fast enough! And if she ever touched me " The smile vanished suddenly from Zara's olive skinned face. Her eyes gleamed. "She'd better look out for herself!" she said.
