He rang a bell on his table and the girl who had so filled T. X. with a sense of awe came from an adjoining room. "You will see that this is delivered, Miss Holland." She inclined her head and stood waiting. Kara rose from his desk and began to pace the room. "Do you know T. X. Meredith?" he asked suddenly. "I have heard of him," said the girl.
"We are full here, and there is a party going on to Kara. You will go with them. The barber will be here to shave you directly. You have not been out very long, judging by the length of your hair. Here is your prison dress. You must put that on to-morrow instead of the one you have on, but you may carry yours with you if you like, it will be useful to you when your term in the prison is done."
I know there is a small one called the Gida running in just between the mouths of the Yenesei and Obi; and there is the Kara on farther, and then the Petchora. As far as I can remember that is all that were marked, but of course there may be lots of little streams that were not put down.
Vassalaro had stayed with me and he wanted to pay whatever rent was due," replied the other. "What like of man was he?" asked T. X. The brief description the man gave sent a cold chill to the Commissioner's heart. "Kara for a ducat!" he said, and swore long and variously. "Cadogan Square," he ordered. His ring was answered promptly. Mr.
Lucy Martin sat contentedly on a cushion at Kara's feet. She had not been permitted to bear away the other girl as she had planned. However, she was allowed to stay on with the Girl Scouts in their camp for a visit which made her equally content. To Mr. and Mrs. Hammond she had explained that she could not leave for two reasons. Kara needed her and Tory was making a picture of her.
"He should be the easiest for you," said John Lexman, reflectively. "Why Gathercole should go off I can't understand," T. X. continued. "According to the story which was told me by Fisher, his last words to Kara were to the effect that he was expecting a cheque or that he had received a cheque.
There is no doubt whatever that Kara has engineered all the political assassinations which have been such a feature in the news from Albania during this past year. We also found in the house very large sums of money and documents which we have handed over to the Foreign Office for decoding." Sir George thought for a long time.
I must wait." "What a nuisance," said Lambert, looking annoyed. "Fancy, Clara. I have an idea of painting these two as Beauty and the Beast, or perhaps as Esmeralda and Quasimodo. I want them to come to the cottage and sit now, but they will wait for this confounded Ishmael." "We can come to-morrow," put in Chaldea quickly. "This afternoon I must dance for Ishmael, and Kara must play."
The girl chatted, Kara played, and Lambert painted, and all three pretended to be very happy and careless. 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.
And, no doubt, he was as attached to his instrument as any mother could be to her child. It was not difficult for Miss Greeby to guess that this weird, hairy dwarf was the Servian gypsy Kara, of whom Lambert had spoken. She took advantage of the knowledge to be disagreeable to the girl. "Is this your husband?" asked Miss Greeby amiably. Chaldea's eyes flashed and her cheeks grew crimson.
