They happened to be in Paris, putting in a fortnight's rest after an exhausting four months on the road, and waiting for the beginning of a beautiful tour booked for Aix-les-Bains, for the race-weeks at Dieppe and Deauville, for Biarritz the cream of August and September resorts of the wealthy.... Then, in a dazzling flash, mobilization.
'My dearest girl, I was beside myself, and talked sheer nonsense, said Georgie. 'But you know really now, dearest, any woman of the world would be provoked at your foolish refusal of that dear good Smithson. Only think of that too lovely house in Park Lane, a palace in the style of the Italian Renaissance such a house is in itself equivalent to a peerage and there is no doubt Smithson will be offered a peerage before he is much older. I have heard it confidently asserted that when the present Ministry retires Smithson will be made a Peer. You have no idea what a useful man he is, or what henchman's service he has done the Ministry in financial matters. And then there is his villa at Deauville you don't know Deauville a positively perfect place, the villa, I mean, built by the Duke de Morny in the golden days of the Empire and another at Cowes, and his palace in Berkshire, a manor, my love, with a glorious old Tudor manor-house; and he has a pied
I dare say you could have managed better than I do," replied Giselle, with a sad smile, but without a spark of jealousy. "Oh, you are in high favor. He gave up this week the races at Deauville, the great race week from which he has never before been absent, since our marriage. But you see my ambition has become limited; I am satisfied if he lets me alone."
Maurice is at Deauville with the rest, and I do not know Miss Sharp's home address nor if she has a telephone probably not. My heart beats I have every feeling of excitement as stupid as a woman! I analyse it all now, how mental emotion reacts on the physical even the empty socket of my eye aches I could hardly control my voice when Burton began a conversation about my orders for the day just now.
Marie returned, after three days, from Dinard in a depressed and somewhat puzzled frame of mind. He had found no trace whatever of Arthur Benham, either at Dinard or at Deauville, and, what was more, he was unable to discover that any one even remotely resembling that youth had been seen at either place. The matter of identification, it seemed to him, should be a rather simple one.
"I'm quite expecting you to get bored in about a week and to rush me off to Deauville or somewhere of that ilk. And as to being 'good' why, it isn't in you!" "I'm not so sure." Magda rose and together they strolled over the grass towards the house, Coppertop skirmishing happily behind them.
And there the costumes were such as might be seen at Deauville or Ostend, Etretat or Trouville. Highly they scandalized the good folk of Folkestone, to be sure but little was said, and nothing was done, for, after all those were the folk who spent the money!
He had promised her that she should be the richer by a neat little bundle of fat and flourishing railway stock when his happiness was secured, and he was not going to break his promise. But he did not mean to give George and Georgie free quarters at Rood Hall, or at Cowes, or Deauville; and he meant to withdraw his wife altogether from Lady Kirkbank's pinchbeck set.
She declares that he is so amusing, and in Paris he knows everyone worth knowing." "Oh, yes. He gave us an awfully good time in Paris last season took us to Longchamps, and we afterwards went to Deauville with him. He wins and loses big sums on the turf." "A born gambler. Everyone knows that. I heard a lot about him in the Travellers' Club, in Paris."
"Why if you can come here cannot you come to Deauville, Nicholas? there must be some irresistible attraction stronger than to be with your friends!" "Yes he is an excellent Swedish masseur who is glued to Paris. Also I like solitude sometimes ." "Solitude!" and Coralie glanced at Miss Sharp's rapidly disappearing figure . "Hein?" I would not permit myself to grow angry.
