Nor were their names down on the list of those who had secured berths in advance for this Saturday night. "You're rather at fault," said I, rather maliciously, not displeased at my masterful friend's failure. "Not a bit," said he. "Fendihook's leaving on Sunday certainly means that he was starting to fulfill a provincial engagement on Monday. If it was a week's engagement, he crosses to-night.
He did astonishing things with the billiard balls, making them run all over his body like mice and balancing them on cues and juggling with them five at a time. I think that day he must have gone through his whole répertoire. The party assembled for tea in the drawing-room. Fendihook's first words to Liosha were: "Hallo, my Balkan Queen, how have you been getting on?"
I've found out all about you. You shouldn't be such a famous character." Liosha stood speechless, for a moment, quivering all over, her eyes burning. "He's married already " she gasped. "Certainly. He decoyed you here just to seduce you." Liosha made a sudden spring, like a tigress, and had it not been for Jaffery's intervening boom of an arm, her hands would have been round Fendihook's throat.
And though Jaffery has never confessed it, I am absolutely certain that, just as Monsieur Jourdain spoke prose, sans le savoir, so, without knowing it, was Jaffery in love with Liosha when she drove away from Northlands in Mr. Ras Fendihook's car. Perhaps before. Quien sabe? But he imagined himself to be in love with a moonbeam.
