But as I turned away I glanced back from the dark passage where Charliet, the French-Canadian cook, was supposed to keep a lamp and never did, and saw the girl in the living room look after me, with a look I had never seen in any girl's eyes, if I'd seen a hunted man have it. "Gad, she knows I know she met me and she doesn't mean to say so," I thought vividly.
And where I mean I can't understand, about Collins and Dunn!" "They got me out," said I, and explained about them. But there was no particular surprise on Paulette's face. She never made an earthly comment, either, when I told her they'd always known all about her and Hutton, except, "I never thought they were dead; I told you that. I'd an idea, too, that Charliet didn't think so either."
We didn't confide in you, because you seemed pretty thick with Macartney, if you come to think of it; and it seemed a hefty kind of a lie, too, when you told Charliet you'd buried us. I rather think that's all, till to-night " his indifferent drawl stopped as if it were cut off with a knife. "My God, Stretton," he jerked, "I'd forgotten!
Dudley, little and fat, in the dirty boots he had worn all day, and just a little loaded, told me to wait till the morning or go to the devil, when I asked about the mine. Charliet banged the food on the table for supper Marcia despised housekeeping, and if the living room had been reformed nothing else had and I sat down in silence and ate. At least I shovelled food into my famished stomach.
It was almost the first time she had spoken, and it was more to Collins than to me, but I answered. "We'll get Charliet all right," I began and Collins gripped me. "I dunno," he drawled. "Strikes me some one's going to get us first!" He snapped out our candle, which was senseless, since Dunn's red-hot fire showed us up as plain as day, and all four of us stood paralyzed.
