If she had been innocently indiscreet, he had also yielded to temptation, not so innocently, and although Martin was not a man to consider the question of morals between the sexes as evenly balanced, still he had winced very uncomfortably under Alix's cross-examination, and was not anxious to reopen the subject. "Let by-gones be by-gones!"
"Yes," he replied, "let us keep together." The smoke from our guns rose up into the air, and then we could see the batteries of the English, who still continued their fire all along the hedges which bordered the road. The first brigade of Alix's division advanced at a quick step along the road leading to Haie-Sainte. In the rear I recognized Marshal Ney with several of the officers of his staff.
The next morning, up in the woods above Alix's house, the crude black mask was found, and some distance farther on an old grey cap, from which the lining and sweatband had been ripped. The search for the man, however, was fruitless.
"I will run in again in the morning," he said, managing to produce a sympathetic smile. "And I'll telephone this evening to see how she is." All the way down the walk to the gate, he kept repeating the words "tomorrow, or next day." In some inexplicable way they had fastened themselves upon him. At the gate he turned and looked up at Alix's bedroom windows.
"Anyhow," remarked Constable Foss, "we now know why that dog of Alix's was killed. This robber had things purty well sized up. He knowed he had to fix that dog first of all, and that goes to show another thing. He is purty well posted around these parts. He knowed all about that dog. He ain't no tramp or common stranger. The chances are he ain't even a perfessional burglar.
To-day the modistes were furnishing them at the fabulous price of twenty-five dollars, trimmed, you understand, and palmetto hats were really getting to be a branch of the commerce of the little city; but ours, thanks to Alix's flowers and ribbons, cost but ten dollars. The church was crowded.
Then you come on, Pete and tell me what you think!" "Here " Peter said, authoritatively, shouting the message, and taking the calf from her arms; they were laughing as they entered the dry, hot darkness of the stable. Alix's riding horse put a Roman nose reproachfully over the bitten barrier of his box-stall. "We've got company for you, Creep-mouse!"
Already the guide had begun to be interesting. I caught a few words: "Celtic caverns" "Leibulf, the first Count" "the terrible Turenne, called the 'Fléau de Provence' the Lady Alix's guardian" which made me long to hear more; but I didn't want to crawl on until my Fellow Worm could crawl with me. "I can't go," he said. "It wouldn't do to leave the car here.
Peter knew that it was Cherry, because Alix's touch was always firm and sure; more than that, he himself had played this same bit no longer ago than last night, and he remembered now that Cherry had asked him just what it was. He experienced a sudden and pleasing emotion; he did not stop to analyze it.
Tell me, tell me this minute, Alix Crown." "Hasn't he told you written you about ANYTHING?" cried the girl. "I don't know what you are driving at, Alix, but whatever it is I KNOW David hasn't got anything against you that would make you say such things as you've just been saying." She hesitated a moment and then laid her hand on Alix's head. "I've been wondering a whole lot of late, Alix.
