John's carriage," she managed to murmur as she peered from the window. Colette dropped her paper of pins, went hastily into the adjoining bedroom and slipped out again before John Meredith was ushered in where the surplice immaculately laundered, was waiting to be donned by its original owner. After slipping it on, John's hand from force of habit sought the pocket and there encountered something.
"In hers only to hinder what evil I could, and to protect her from herself," the detective answered steadily and frankly. "I make no excuse, because there isn't any to make. But if I didn't live up to my contract with you, I can say honestly that I never betrayed your interest. You can guess the helplessness of a man in my fix. I have no influence over Colette.

She said in an off-hand way, "Yes; but I don't count among the lilies now." Then she said almost roughly, "Don't you love Ismérie any more?" "Yes, mother." "Really. Then what about Colette?"

Curran trembled with eagerness and suspense. He loved her, this wretch, witch, fiend of a woman! "The question is, can I deal with her myself? She is intractable."
The stale society in which you live regards music as a sort of legitimate vice.... Come, sit down! Play me your sonata." "No. Let us talk a little longer." "I'm not here to talk. I'm here to teach you the piano.... Come, play away!" "You're so rude!" said Colette, rather vexed but at heart delighted to be handled so roughly.

Colette stumbled on the fact in her search of California, but the fates have been against that clever woman." He laughed heartily at the complete overthrow of the escaped nun. Honora looked at him in astonishment.
"Colette, surely it was the dearest love-letter a man ever received. If I could have had it all these dreary months!" "Do you wonder that I feared its falling into strange hands?"
