"I try to do what I say, Mr. Renault." "Attendez wait!" cried Mr. Renault, and closed the window. Now was Eliphalet's chance to bolt. The perspiration had come again, and it was cold.

"Wait a moment," he said, leading her aside towards the waiting-room, while the crowd that was going to the douane passed them by. Then he turned to Julie's porter. "Attendez un instant." The man sulkily shook his head, dropped Julie's bag at their feet, and hurried off in search of a more lucrative job. "I am going back to-night," added Delafield, hurriedly.
