Where was there a more affectionate son, a pleasanter home than hers? The velvet and brocade dresses belonging to the Baroness de Hierges had fallen to the Eletto. How young Florette looked in them! When she glanced into the mirror, she was astonished at herself. Two beautiful riding-horses for ladies' use and elegant trappings had been found in the baron's stable.
Brannigan, we have some arrangements to make about the concert to-night. Madame d'Avala is to sing in the school auditorium, a benefit performance," and she went out, followed by her sister and niece. "Where's Florette?" Freddy asked again, his voice trembling with eagerness. "I seen her in K.C., sonny." "How's the ac'?" "Fine! Fine! Great!" "No kiddin'?" "No kiddin'." "Florette all right?"
He pounced upon it, muttered about some wrinkles, put it into place, and went to the dressing table to hand Florette the cold cream. He found her make-up towel, all caked with red and blue, which she had flung down on the floor. He patted her highly glittering hair and adjusted a pin.
Other mothers spent their lives for their little boys. Florette only risked hers twice a day. While the partner played an accordion Florette ran out for her quick change. Freddy was waiting, with her dress hung over a chair. He flew to meet her. His eager, nimble fingers unfastened the blue frock. He slipped the next costume over her head without mussing a single beloved blonde hair.
Florette had swell clo'es. This'n's swell, too. My! ain't it great to see a classy gown again!" Madame d'Avala laughed and Freddy joined her. "Say, you seen the teachers at this school?" he asked. "You seen 'em?" Madame d'Avala nodded. "Nice ladies," said Freddy in an effort to be fair. "But no class you know what I mean. Way they slick their hair back, an' no paint or powder.
She had looked exactly like it when a young girl, she said; it was strange how precisely he had hit the color of her hair; but she was afraid it was blaspheming to paint a Madonna with her face; she was a poor sinner, nothing more. Florette was glad that the work was finished, for restlessness again began to torture her, and the mornings had been so lonely.
Ulrich now saw the fulfilment of Don Juan's words, that power was an arable field; for there were many full ears in Aalst for them both to harvest. Florette still nursed, with maternal care, the soldier's orphan which she had taken to her son's house; the child, born on a bed of straw was now clothed in dainty linen, laces and other beautiful finery.
"Florette! She ain't sick? Bert, is Florette sick?" "No! No, I " "You tell me, Bert! If it's bad news about Florette " His voice died out. His face grew white. Bert could not meet his eyes. "No, no, now, Freddy," Bert mumbled, turning away his head. "You got me all wrong. It it's good news, sonny." Like a flash Freddy's face cleared. "What about, Bert? Good news about what?"
"America will bring us many good things, my sweet Florette," said her father more cautiously, "and she will bring triumph to our gallant France. But we must have patience. How can she send us letters from Armand, my dear? How can she send letters to Germany, her enemy?" "Then we shall never hear of him till the war is over?" the girl sighed. "Oh, it is my fault he went away!
He believed himself to be as necessary a part of her life as the heart in her breast, for Florette lavished all her beauty, all her sweetness on him. No Johns for Florette, pretty and blonde though she was. To the contempt of her contemporaries Florette refused every chance for a free meal. Freddy was her sweetheart, her man.
