It was infinitely more agreeable to be a grande dame in Paris, and presently in London, than to be the spouse of Hans in Berlin, where, whatever his secret power might be with the authorities, he could give her no great social position; and social position was the goal of all Harietta Boleski's desires! She could attract lovers in any class of life that had never been her difficulty.
The man swore in German under his breath. "Of a lightness always, Harietta! No devouement, no patriotism.... Should I have agreed to the divorce, loving your body as I do, had it not been a serious matter? The pig-dog who now owns you must be sucked dry of information and then I shall take you back again." A cunning look came into Madame Boleski's hazel eyes.
"Since when has Stanislass taken to using this very Eastern perfume?" and he sniffed with disgust. The wide look of startled innocence grew in Madame Boleski's hazel eyes. "I believe Stanislass must have got a mistress, Stepan. I have noticed lately these scents on his things as you know, he never used any before!"
If I sit back, the pillar hides me I do not wish them to see me yet." Denzil glanced down the room; two people were taking their seats by the wall. The mask was off Harietta Boleski's face for the moment; it looked silly with its raised eyebrows and was full of ill temper and spite.
With me she has been admiring you from afar." The two women bowed, and with cheery, disarming simplicity, the American made some gracious remarks in a voice which sounded as if she smoked too much; it was not disagreeable in tone, nor had she a pronounced American accent. Amaryllis Ardayre found herself interested. She admired the superb attention to detail shown in Madame Boleski's whole person.
But if it is, as I think, Ferdinand's and Harietta Boleski's work, they would not be likely to know that John had desired that Denzil should marry you, Amaryllis, and so would have thought a short card with longings to see you would be a natural thing to write. Indeed you can be at rest. And now I will go and dress for dinner, and we will forget disturbing thoughts."
Look at the eagerness which has come into her eyes you can see her in the mirror if you want to." But Verisschenzko had missed nothing, and he bent forward to endeavour to identify the person upon whom Madame Boleski's gaze had turned.
