And the Valkyrie is Blanchflower's daughter! Very odd that! I must have seen her as a child. Her mother" he paused again slightly "was a Greek by birth, and gloriously handsome. Blanchflower met her when he was military attache at Athens for a short time. Well, that's all very interesting!" And in a ruminating mood the Englishman took out his cigarette-case. "You smoke, Madame?"
He tumbled on to the ground a large clasp pocket-knife, a hunk of black bread, a cigarette-case and some old letters. "I had one," he muttered anxiously. "Somewhere, I know...." I heard the Colonel's voice again. "No one touched! There's some more of their precious ammunition wasted.... What about your Ekaterina, Piotr Ivanovitch Ho, ho, ho!... Here, golubchik, the telephone!... Hullo! Hullo!"
But Toby's idea of dignity was to sit on the corner of the table and swing one leg. If any apprehension lingered in her mind, she concealed it most successfully. She looked like an alert and mischievous boy. There came a knock at the door, and for a moment her eyes sought Saltash. He grinned back derisively, and pulled out his cigarette-case. "Entrez!" he called. The door opened with a flourish.
"Nothing to drink, thanks," Brooks answered. "A cigarette, if you are going to smoke." Lord Arranmore pushed his cigarette-case across the small round table which stood between their easy-chairs. The room was empty. "You will find these tolerable. I promised to be brief, did I not?
Flamby tossed her tam-o'-shanter on to a chair, slapped the pockets of Don's tunic in quest of his cigarette-case, found it, took out and lighted a cigarette, and then curled herself up in a corner of the settee, hugging her knees. "Paul thinks I'm fast," she said.
Thresk?" he asked pointedly. "Yes, it's rather an impertinence, isn't it?" Thresk agreed. "But I was looking into a case late last night in which irrevocable and terrible things are going to happen if there is not forgiveness." Dick took his cigarette-case from his pocket. "I see," he remarked, and struck a match. Both men rose from the table and at the door Dick turned.
Quinby gave his peculiar nasal laugh. "A nice youth," said he. "A very nice youth!" "Do you mean nice or nasty?" I asked, inclined to bridle at his tone. "Oh, anything but nasty," said Quinby. "Only well perhaps a bit rapid for his years!" I stooped and put my name in the book before making any further remark. Then I handed Quinby my cigarette-case, and we sat down on the nearest lounge.
Schmalz ran the fingers of his one arm over my pockets, flinging my portfolio on the billiard-table towards Clubfoot, and the other articles as they came to light ... my pistol, watch, cigarette-case and so forth ... on to a leather lounge against the wall. In his search he brushed me with his severed stump ... ugh, it was horrible! Clubfoot had snatched up the portfolio and hastily examined it.
Duncannon flung the word with violence. He took a single stride forward, standing over Herne in an attitude that was almost menacing. His hands were clenched. "What?" he said again. Herne leaned back, and felt for his cigarette-case. "Take it easy, old chap!" he said. "It was bound to come, you know. It was never meant to be more than a temporary occupation among these friendlies.
The Duke took his cigarette-case from his pocket and lighted a cigarette. Suddenly he lost his bored air; his face lighted up; and he said joyfully: "Of course, why didn't I think of it? Why should we start from a pit of gloom like this? Let us have the proper illumination which our enterprise deserves." With that he set about lighting all the lamps in the hall.
