We have spoken of matters so intimate that I do not know whether in this absolute privacy I should not be justified in going further and disclosing to you our whole scheme for an attack upon the English Navy. It would need only an expression of your sympathy with those views which we have discussed, to induce me to do so." Monsieur Douaille hesitated for several moments before he replied.
Only I say that the sooner America makes up her mind to the sacrifice, the better. Her Monroe Doctrine is all very well for the Northern States. Now you know the truth, and the whole truth. You know, Monsieur Douaille, what we require from you, and you know your reward. Our host has already told you, and will tell you again as often as you like, the feeling of his own country.
You yourself, Monsieur Douaille, are a good Parisian, and no good Parisian should miss his yearly pilgrimages to the Mecca of the pleasure-seeker. We meet together this evening, therefore, purely as friends who have a common interest at heart."
South America is Germany's natural heritage, by every right worth considering. It is our people's gold which founded the Argentine Republic, the brains of our people which control its destinies. Our Eldorado is there, Monsieur Douaille. That is the country which, sooner or later, Germany must possess. We look nowhere else. We covet no other of our neighbours' possessions.
I want you, Monsieur Douaille, to absolutely understand this, because it may affect your views. What we do require is to strike a long and lasting blow at the navy of Great Britain. As a somewhat larger Holland, Great Britain is welcome to a peaceful existence. When she lords it over the world, talks of an Empire upon which the sun never sets, then the time arrives when we are forced to interfere.
Grex asserted confidently. "We are at least beyond reach of these bungling English spies. There is no further fear of eavesdroppers. We are entirely alone. Each may speak his own mind. There is nothing to be feared in the way of interruption. I trust, Monsieur Douaille, that you appreciate the altered circumstances."
"If it is permitted," he suggested, "I should like to do myself the honour of paying my respects to you." Monsieur Douaille was flattered. "My stay here is short," he regretted, "but your visit will be most acceptable. I am at the Riviera Palace Hotel." "It is one of my theories," Mr.
"Listen to me, my friend Douaille my friend, mind, and not the statesman Douaille. I am a German citizen and you are a French one, and I tell you that if in three years' time your country does not make up its mind to strike a blow for Alsace and Lorraine, then in three years' time Germany will declare war upon you." Monsieur Douaille had the expression of a man who doubts. Selingman frowned.
I trust that I shall have the pleasure of seeing something of you, Monsieur Douaille. A little conversation would be most agreeable." "In Monte Carlo one meets one's friends all the time," Monsieur Douaille replied. "I lunch to-day with my friend our mutual friend, without a doubt who calls himself here Mr. Grex." Mr. Simpson nodded.
We shall go to war with you, Monsieur Douaille, to get Calais, and when we've got Calais oh, my God!" Selingman almost reverently concluded, "then our solemn task will be begun." "England!" Monsieur Douaille murmured. There was a brief pause. Selingman had seemed, for a moment, to have passed into the clouds. There was a sort of gloomy rapture upon his face.
