It was just before Christmas, and the season had, of course, not yet commenced. We stayed at the Hôtel de Paris the hotel where most men en garçon put up and the car I put into the Garage Meunier. It was the first time I had seen "Monty," and it attracted me, as it does every man and woman. Here, too, Bindo di Ferraris seemed to have hosts of friends.
Usually Count Bindo di Ferraris spent his time with his gay friends, lounging in the evening at Maxim's, or giving costly suppers at the Americain.
"Known as the prettiest woman who comes on the Riviera," he declared, taking her hand and examining the wedding ring and the fine circle of diamonds above it. Bindo di Ferraris was an expert in gems. "Don't be a flatterer," she protested, with a light laugh. "You've said that, you know, hundreds of times before." "I've said only what's the truth, and I'm sure Ewart will bear me out."
After some months of waiting, the opportunity came, and I seized it. By appointment, at the Royal Automobile Club one grey December morning, I met Count Bindo di Ferraris, a young Italian aristocrat, whose aspect, however, was the reverse of that of a Southerner. About thirty, he was tall, lithe, and well dressed in a dark-brown lounge suit.
I don't think that in the whole course of my adventurous career as chauffeur to Count Bindo di Ferraris, alias Mr. Charles Bellingham, I spent such an anxious few days as I did during the week following my meeting with the redoubtable Sir Charles Blythe.
Well dressed and highly respectable, he presented a rather superior air, and walked on the Spa at certain hours, establishing a kind of custom from which he did not depart. He had now changed his name to Sinclair, while Bindo di Ferraris went under the less foreign cognomen of Albert Cornforth. I alone kept my own name, George Ewart.
We looked, and sure enough the vast woods that clothed the lofty mountainsides were being ruthlessly cleared away. We suggested that a protest should be made. "Oh, na, na! The woods are none of ours. The graf de Ferraris too has sold the estate to a gesellschaft from Vienna. They care nothing for the castle, but are hungry for timber.
Although Baily, Deprez, and Ferraris had accomplished much before Tesla's time, yet it was practically to the investigations and discoveries made by Tesla, between 1887 and 1891, that the induction motor of to-day is due.
Tesla was an independent inventor of this rotary field motor, for although anticipated in dates by Ferraris, he could not have known about Ferraris' work as it had not been published. With such an acknowledgment from Ferraris there can be little doubt about Tesla's originality in this matter. Mr.
But this inevitable change of the exterior seems to have no effect on the "inner man." "In the Prince's conversation I found the same talent, the unrivalled esprit. The fluency and elocution, so entirely his own, were as graceful, and the memory was as perfect, as at any former period." This memorable man is fond of matrimony; his present wife, a daughter of Count Zichy Ferraris, being his third.
