In the person of this suave but inflexible arbiter Lanyard identified a former maitre d'hotel of the Carlton who had abruptly and discreetly fled London soon after the outbreak of war. He fancied that this one knew him and was sedulous both to keep him in the corner of his eye and never to meet his regard directly.
There's only one person I want to walk with Peter." Peter all but shouted. He drew her to him, and for once Julie was honestly alarmed. "Not now, you mad boy!" she exclaimed, but her eyes were enough for him. "All right," he laughed at her; "wait a bit. There's time yet." In the little entrance-hail the maître d'hôtel greeted them. They were the party of importance that night.
I merely beckoned to the Maitre d'Hotel, as he stood poised on the edge of the couple's kiosk, with the order for their breakfast in his hands, and, when he had reached my half-way station on his way across the garden to the kitchen, stopped him with a question.
The manager of the restaurant hurried toward the entrance and he heard the question repeated. "Is Mr. Rosario here?" "We have a table for him, madame, but he has not yet arrived," the maître d'hôtel replied. "If madame will allow me to show her the way!" Arnold rose to his feet with a little start. Notwithstanding her fashionable outdoor clothes and thick veil, he recognized Mrs.
"He demanded the paper of our maître d'hôtel, saying you, Señor, were a pig of a detective and as we admire the detective not at all, everyone searched for it. But I had seen other things, Señor," he smiled knowingly. "You have it?" "Si, si, but not so loud! Could I give it to the old one? Even a poor waiter may sometimes observe!
A nice-looking, elderly gentleman whom we met in front of the ruined Hotel du Nord said that the Germans came there and, finding champagne in the cellar after the maitre d'hotel had told them there wasn't any, set fire to the hotel, and, as I recall it, shot him. How true such stories are I cannot say, but there was no doubt that Senlis had been punished.
And more than one looked thoughtfully his way while the maitre d'hotel hovered above them, murmuring confidentially. Four nods sealed an understanding with him. He strutted off with far more manner than had been his at any time since the arrival of Lanyard, and vented an excess of spirits by berating bitterly an unhappy clown of a waiter for some trivial fault.
"Well, I'll be damned if I'll !" started Rebener angrily, when he was interrupted by the proprietor, who holding his finger to his lip, said: "Please, Mr. Rebener, please!

Was I to believe that Louis, my favorite maitre d'hotel, my fellow schemer in many luncheon and dinner parties, my authority upon vintages, my gastronomic good angel, was one of a band of conspirators, who played with life and death as though they had been the balls of a juggler?
