And tears rising, despite all his efforts, to his vague, blue, glowing eyes he caught hold of his daughter Celine, kissed her violently, distractedly, and then went off, with his bag under his arm, followed by his young companion. "Celine," resumed Madame Theodore, "give Monsieur l'Abbe your pencil, and, see, monsieur, seat yourself here, it will be better for writing."
Céline smiled again: "Mademoiselle dismissed me before she had finished her luncheon. I had disrobed her previously, and she said she should retire as soon as she drank her coffee. She may have forgotten the door." Cora turned toward the bed. "Did you lock your door, Ellen?" But Ellen did not know; she could not remember if she had or had not.
She had some apprehension as to this unknown caller, but he had seen her, and whoever he was she must face him, for Cora was no coward. Céline tripped along thinking intently. "This man is Edward Percy Edward Percy, the lover of two women. He was frightened when he saw this Mrs. Arthur, and my words reassured him; why?
And I need not mention the politicians or the financiers or all those who fish in troubled waters." "But I say," interrupted Duthil, "it seems to me that you yourself made good use of the affair. Your interview with the little girl Celine brought you in a pot of money."
They then decided to go down, but at the bottom of the stairs they lingered for another quarter of an hour chatting with a neighbour who had lately lost a child. And just as they were at last leaving the house they heard a call: "Mamma! mamma!" It came from little Celine, whose face was beaming with delight. She was wearing a pair of new shoes and devouring a cake.
"Celine, you must leave that alone. I forbade you to touch my tools," said he; then taking the bag, he deposited it with great precaution against the wall behind him. "And so, madame," asked Pierre, "this man Laveuve lives on this floor?" Madame Theodore directed a timid, questioning glance at Salvat.
It indeed proved necessary to climb a few more steps; and then, following Madame Theodore and Celine, Pierre found himself in a kind of narrow garret under the roof, a loft a few yards square, where one could not stand erect. There was no window, only a skylight, and as the snow still covered it one had to leave the door wide open in order that one might see.
At last, when he was thirty, he was stupid enough to go to America with an inventor, who traded on him to such a point that after six years of it he came back ill and penniless. I must tell you that he had married my younger sister Leonie, and that she died before he went to America, leaving him little Celine, who was then only a year old.
"Pardonne, mademoiselle, but might I suggest we must not forget this," touching Miss Arthur's tightly laced waist. "True, Céline, quite right; the toast, then. And, Céline, remain down-stairs and when Mr. Then come and let me know. I prefer to have him fancy me surprised, you see," smiling playfully. "I see; mademoiselle has such tact," and the French maid disappeared. "Mr.
"Very well, dearest, go and dress yourself, while Celine finishes dressing me; but don't keep me waiting." "I am ready now, love," you cry out, at the end of ten minutes, as you stand shaved and dressed. But all is changed. A letter has arrived; madame is not well; her dress fits badly; the dressmaker has come; if it is not the dressmaker it is your mother.
