It is true that Alice thought the payment he received miraculously high for the quality of work done; but, with this agreeable Jew in the hall, and the coupé at the kerb, she suddenly perceived the probability of even greater miracles in the matter of price.
She drew the duchess quickly out through the side door, which led to the little corridor, and thence to the adjacent staircase, and over the small court to one of the minor gates of the palace, leading to the park. The coupe of the queen was standing before this door, and the master of the stole and the lackeys were awaiting the approach of the queen.
He stepped to the door, drew aside the portière, and said: "Washington, call a coupé for me. Quick, now." Then he called after the boy as he went to the telephone, "Tell them to hurry it up." He turned towards Phillida; then with a new impulse he turned again and walked impatiently to the office. "Mr. Oliver, won't you ask if my man is below, and send him here as quickly as possible?"
But he had no sooner come to this conclusion than his mind grew disturbed at the thought of all the falsehoods which must be involved in the preservation of this show of honour to the world. He jumped up from his seat in the coupé, but there were others in the carriage with him, and he seated himself again. The train was carrying him nearer and nearer to his goal; and what a goal!
Rumors flew about the town as to the beauty and good taste of the modern or the antique furniture as it was seen to arrive. The great firm of Odiot and Company sent down a magnificent service of plate by the mail-coach. Three carriages, a caleche, a coupe, and a cabriolet arrived, wrapped in straw with as much care as if they were jewels. "Monsieur Graslin is going to be married!"
The sly Jules knows from her shaken voice the golden hoard is in danger. In a few moments he is by her side in the coupe. "Where to?" huskily asks the head-waiter. "To the 'bal de minuit. We can talk there." "Allons! au Jardin Bullier," he cries. Before the "fiacre" stops, Jules has an idea of the situation. Ah! a grand "coup." Jules is a genius!
Then a substantial sweet: a coupe aux marrons or a nesselrode pudding, yes?" Kedzie wanted to ask for a plain, familiar vanilla ice-cream, but she knew better. She ordered the nesselrode and got her ice-cream, after all. There were chestnuts in it, too so she was glad she had not selected the coupe aux marrons.
"Order a coupé for me to be here at half past eleven to-night," he said. "But you are not fit to go, Syd," the other could not help but respond. "I will be when the time comes," was the reply. "You will see. Say nothing to the others about it." "Then let me go with you," suggested Roy. "Well, perhaps you may, but you will sit in the carriage. Now go out and order it, please."
"Come, come, little one, you know perfectly well that you can use Madame Chorche's coupe. She always says it is at our disposal." "How many times must I tell you that I don't choose to be under any obligation to that woman?" "O Sidonie" "Oh! yes, I know, it's all understood. Madame Fromont is the good Lord himself. Every one is forbidden to touch her.
He thought only of her, while his coupé went down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, bustling with noise and movement and flooded with light. The coachman took a side street and the carriage disappeared through an open gateway between two high posts surmounted by two lamps, in a passage leading to a huge white mansion whose slate roof was ablaze with sunlight.
