Again, writing to Benvenuto Cellini, to express his pleasure in a portrait bust of his execution, which he had just seen, he says: "Bindo Altoviti took me to see it I had great pleasure in it, but it vexed me much that it was put in a bad light." Mr. Harford transforms into, "I will teach him all that I know, and all that his father wished him to learn." Rather a considerable promise!
I was rather sick at being compelled to leave so suddenly. Of late I had hardly been in London at all. I was very desirous of visiting some aged relations from whom I had expectations. Bindo saw that my face had fallen. "Look here, Ewart," he said, "I'm sorry that you have to do this long run at such short notice, but you won't be alone you'll pick up a lady, and a very pretty young lady, too."
And as she disappeared into the hotel she turned and waved her tiny black-gloved hand back at the handsome Bindo. "Done, my dear chap!" chuckled Blythe in a low voice to his companion as the neat figure disappeared behind the glass swing-doors. "The rest is easy if we keep up pluck." "It's a big thing, of course; but I'm sanguine enough," declared my employer. "That little girl is a perfect brick.
Any attempt to reach Turin was now impossible, and when late that night I entered the little town of Dessau I sent a carefully worded telegram to Bindo at the little newspaper-shop in the Tottenham Court Road, explaining that, though free, I was still in peril of arrest.
About ten o'clock that night, when in dinner-jacket and black tie I re-entered the Rooms again, I encountered Regnier. He was on his way out, and I followed him. In the shadow of the trees in the Place I overtook him and spoke. "Hulloa, Ewart!" he exclaimed, "I saw you this afternoon. Is Bindo here?" "He's been, but has returned to London on business." "Coming back, I suppose?" he asked.
Meanwhile, Princess Helen, who had become the most popular figure in Leghorn, and had given her patronage to several functions in the cause of charity, went out a great deal, and I accompanied her very frequently to the best houses. "Poor Bindo is having a pretty quiet time, I fear," she laughed to me one day in her easy, irresponsible way. "He is lying low." "Waiting for the coup eh?"
"And so am I, my dear fellow," was Sir Charles's response. "Bindo met me in the Constitutional, gave me a hundred pounds, and told me to go out at once. So I came." "And when is he returning?" "Only he himself knows that. He seems tremendously busy. Henderson is with him. When I left he was just going to Birmingham." "You know who Pierrette is?" "Yes.
The Baron was hand in hand with Gapon and his colleagues, but escaped to England, and has been there for nearly a year, until, as the outcome of the dastardly plot against you, he altered his appearance, and returned as George Ewart, chauffeur to Baron Bindo di Ferraris of Rome. The arrests yesterday were very smartly made." "But how do you know the details of the attempt upon me?"
Fortunately we had a spare one, therefore it was only the half-hour delay that troubled us. Bindo helped me to take off the old cover, adjust a new tube and cover, and worked the pump with a will. Then, just as I was giving the nuts a final screw-up, preparatory to packing the tools away in the back, he said "I expect, Ewart, this long run of ours has puzzled you very much, hasn't it?"
The Grand was overrun by a smartly dressed crowd, and the Spa was a picturesque sight during the morning promenade. The beautiful "Belvedere" grounds were a blaze of roses, and, being private property, were regarded with envy by thousands who trod the asphalte of the Esplanade. Almost daily Bindo took Paul for a run on the car.
