Verisschenzko was silent for a little, and then he casually gave a resume of the character and place of Madame Boleski and her husband, a good deal more baldly expressed, but in substance much the same as he had given to Amaryllis at the Russian Embassy the night before. He spoke lightly, but his yellow green eyes were keen. "Look at her well she is capable of mischief.
They arranged a dinner for the following night but one, and said au revoir. An hour later the Russian was seated in a huge English leather chair in the little salon of his apartment in the rue Cambon, when Madame Boleski very softly entered the room and sat down upon his knee. "I had to come, darling Brute," she said.
Russia was moving forward, but Verisschenzko did not appear to be very optimistic in spite of this. There were things in his country, he told Amaryllis, which might handicap the fighting. Stanislass Boleski looked extremely depressed. He had a hang-dog, strained mien and Verisschenzko's contemptuously friendly attitude towards him wounded him deeply.
"I feel that I want to do my duty," she said softly, "but..." "Continue to feel that and Fate will show you the way. Now I must take you back to your husband whom I see in the distance there he is with Harietta Boleski. I wonder what he thinks of her?" "I have asked him! He says that she is so obvious as to be innocuous, and that he likes her clothes!"
We have secured a suite at the Universal this time, now that the Rhin is shut up, and it is such a large hotel, you can quite well stay there; Stanislass won't notice you among the crowd." Ferdinand agreed unwillingly and just then Verisschenzko came in. He had not seen Madame Boleski since the night at the Carlton, having taken care not to let her know of his further visits to England since.
And presently Amaryllis, standing safely with John, saw Verisschenzko dancing the maddest one-step with Madame Boleski, their undulations outdoing all others in the room! The day after the wonderful rejoicing which the homecoming of Amaryllis had been the occasion of at Ardayre, she was sitting waiting for her husband in that exquisite cedar parlour which led from her room.
Verisschenzko was writing and just glanced up while he murmured Napoleon's famous order to Mademoiselle George but Harietta Boleski pushed out her full underlip and sat down in a deep armchair. "No not this evening, I have only a moment. I have merely come, Stepan, you darling, to tell you that I have something interesting to say."
He gave her his arm and they moved from the room, coming almost into conflict with Madame Boleski and her partner, Ferdinand Ardayre, whose movements would have done honour to the lowest nigger ring. "There is your friend, Madame Boleski she dances and so well!" "Harietta is an elemental as I told you before it is right that she should express herself so.
"He loathes the English that is his reason, but Madame Boleski has no incentive like that." "Harietta has no country she would be willing to betray any one of them to gratify any personal desire. If she had been a patriot exclusively working for Germany, one could have respected her, but she has often betrayed their secrets to me for jewels and other things she required at the moment.
At that very moment, before they could enter the restaurant, and re-arrange their tables, Harietta Boleski and her husband swept upon them they were staying in the hotel. Harietta was enraptured. What a delightful surprise meeting them! Were they all just together, would they not dine with her?
