So little while ago there was no Mlle. Celie " and, as Hanaud raised his hand, she said hurriedly, "Yes, yes; I will control myself. But to think of Mme. Dauvray now!" And thereupon she blurted out her story and explained to Mr. Ricardo the question which had so perplexed him: how a girl of so much distinction as Celia Harland came to be living with a woman of so common a type as Mme. Dauvray.
Dauvray, so absorbed in the determination to convince; and Mlle. Celie running from the room to put on the black gown which would not be visible in the dim light. "Whilst I took off mademoiselle's dress," Vauquier continued, "she said: 'When I have gone down to the salon you can go to bed, Helene. Mme.
Neither Mme. Dauvray nor Helene Vauquier could have worn these shoes. They were lying, one here, one there, upon the floor of Celie Harland's room, as though she had kicked them off in a hurry. They are almost new, you see. They have been worn once, perhaps, no more, and they fit with absolute precision into those footmarks, except just at the toe of that second one."
Yes they could not have been here last night," Hanaud agreed, and sat for a moment silent. Then he turned to the head waiter. "Have you noticed any woman with Mme. Dauvray and her companion lately?" "No, monsieur. I do not think so." "Think! A woman, for instance, with red hair." Harry Wethermill started forward. Mr. Ricardo stared at Hanaud in amazement. The waiter reflected. "No, monsieur.
"Now, when did Mme. Dauvray tell you that you might have Tuesday?" Servettaz hesitated. His face became troubled. When he spoke, he spoke reluctantly. "It was not Mme. Dauvray, monsieur, who told me that I might go on Tuesday," he said. "Not Mme. Dauvray! Who was it, then?" Hanaud asked sharply. Servettaz glanced from one to another of the grave faces which confronted him. "It was Mlle.
To take a metaphor from the work of the man she loved, she was a natural receiver. So now, although no word was spoken, she was aware that Mme. Dauvray was greatly excited greatly disturbed; and she dreaded the reason of that excitement and disturbance. While they were driving home in the motor-car she said apprehensively: "You met a friend then, to-night, madame?" "No," said Mme.
"Servettaz," he said, "you will answer any questions which monsieur may put to you." "Certainly, M. le Commissaire," said the chauffeur. His manner was serious, but he answered readily. There was no sign of fear upon his face. "How long have you been with Mme. Dauvray?" Hanaud asked. "Four months, monsieur. I drove her to Aix from Paris."
Pere Francois at New York has conferred a day with Judge Davis, and bids his new charge be calm and trust to his own advice. Isabel Valois is in a maze of new impressions, and bewildered by a strange language. Bravely attired, and of a generous port, Raoul Dauvray installs himself in one of the palatial hotels which are the pride of the occidental city.
Helene Vauquier was avaricious and greedy, like so many of her class. Her hatred of Celia, her contempt for Mme. Dauvray, grew into a very delirium. But it was a delirium she had the cunning to conceal. She lived at white heat, but to all the world she had lost nothing of her calm.
And even as she spoke Mme. Dauvray's voice rang shrill and irritable up the stairs. "Celie! Celie!" "Quick, Helene," said Celia. For she herself was now anxious to have the seance over and done with. But Helene did not hurry. The more irritable Mme. Dauvray became, the more impatient with Mlle. Celie, the less would Mlle. Celie dare to refuse the tests Adele wished to impose upon her.
