Anonyma scanned this unexpected gift nervously. She was much more used to taking other people aback than to being taken aback herself. But Kew was more ready. He dived for the pencil and wrote, "Only a bit punctured," on the slate. "You'd better bring it in and bathe it," suggested the lady, when she had studied this. They followed her in silent single file.
Just now our fashionable women are bitterly reprehended for copying the dress of the "Anonymas," who establish the very pronounced fashions of Paris. Half of them do not know what model they have taken. The other half accept the various and tasteless costumes, not because they are devised by "Anonyma," but because they are striking.
Seated in his silent parlors, walking moodily through the beautiful rooms, haunted with memories of the splendid "anonyma" whose reign is yet visible, he dreams of his wasted past, his lonely future. Can he repair it? Enveloped in smoke wreaths, from his portico he surveys the thousand twinkling city lights below. He is careless of the future movements of his Parisian goddess.
"Don't call her Russell's car, it sounds so cold." "There is Russell's Christina doing nothing," compromised Anonyma. "And petrol isn't so bad as it will be. And it's a beautiful time of year. And you are not strong yet, really. And we want Jay back." "A procession of facts doesn't make a plan," objected Kew. "It may lead to one, eventually," said Mrs. Gustus.
"Why do you tell me all this?" he asked finally. "Because I recognise your face as that of a sp I mean a fellow-worker in the great brotherhood of espionage," said Anonyma. "Come on, then," said the man. So they walked off together. "Why did you take up this calling?" asked the man presently. "Are you a German?" "Well, more or less," said Anonyma. "At least, I have never been a Christian.
I don't think she had known that Anonyma was there. Kew was not sorry that he had intruded. At sunset, when the high sea span About the rocks a web of foam, I saw the ghost of a Cornishman Come home. I saw the ghost of a Cornishman Run from the weariness of War, I heard him laughing as he ran Across his unforgotten shore. The great cliff, gilded by the west, Received him as an honoured guest.
Send us a good encouraging letter, addressed to the house in Kensington. We always wire our address there as we move. Give us details about Trelawney, and, if possible, the name of the nearest post town. If we must lie, let us give all the pleasure we can by doing so. Poor old Anonyma. "It's getting dark, I must go back to the Family.
And what business has a conscientious objector to be spy-hunting? Do I understand that you will only help your country when you can do it vicariously, through the police, with no risk to yourself? It isn't very dignified." "A spy is outside every pale," said the stranger. "My conscience objects to the shedding of blood. Yet it is an English conscience all the same." "English?" said Anonyma.
And so, my dear sir, while mater-familias bends her black brows in disgust, we smile our superior little smile, and extend to Mistress Anonyma our gracious indorsement. And if giddiness is grateful, or if folly is friendly, well, of course, we can't help that. Indeed it rather proves our theory. I had intended to say something about Hopkinson; but really there is very little to say.
A tremor ran through the stranger. "A map?" he repeated. "Yes, a map," said Anonyma; and then, as he did not move, she added on the spur of the moment, "Also a design for a new kind of bomb which I bought from a man in London." "A bomb?" he said. Anonyma thought that he was evidently a foreigner, though his accent was English. He seemed to find English rather difficult to understand.
