Miss Rome had then gone just outside the theatre to the entrance of the passage, in order to point out to Captain Cutler a flower-shop at which he was to buy her some more flowers; and the witness had remained in the room, exchanging a few words with the priest.
If she spoke to a policeman she did not know what would ensue. Perhaps she would have to charge this man and appear in a police-court next day. She became angry with herself. She would not be driven in by this persistent, sneaking aggression. She would ignore him. Surely she could ignore him. She stopped abruptly, and looked in a flower-shop window.
"Then you take the first to the right and the first to the left, and you'll get a blue 'bus as'll take you to the 'Elephant. That's a bit of the way. Then you arst again. And 'ere this'll pay for the 'bus." He held out coppers. This practical kindness went to Dickie's heart more than all the kisses of the young ladies in the flower-shop. The tears came into his eyes.
Carmina lifted her head, and spoke in steadier tones. "Where have they been taken to?" "To the flower-shop at the back to be kept till called for." "No other address?" "None." The last faint hope of tracing Frances was at an end. Carmina turned wearily to leave the room. Zo called to her from the hearth-rug. Always kind to the child, she retraced her steps. "What is it?" she asked.
He walked back quickly to the flower-shop kept by Ulrich, in the Senatorska. A rare thing happened to Paul Deulin at this moment. He fell into a train of thought, and walked some distance by the side of Netty without speaking. It was against his principles altogether. "Never be silent with a woman," he often said. "She will only misconstrue it."
But now here were toys and things which Whiting, in a climax of generosity, had culled from bake-shop and grocer, from flower-shop, fruit-shop, and confectioner. He snapped out the light and drove on. He had still a half-hour for his adventure. It took just three of the thirty minutes to slide up to the curb in front of the tall tenement. He made three trips in and up to the top floor.
The clergyman's voice rose clear and comforting over them: "'The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all ever more. Amen." "Is there a flower-shop near here?" was the perfectly commonplace question Austin asked as they went down the church steps together into the spring sunshine. "Yes, just a few steps away. Why?"
The next entries were: "Flower-shop and livery-stable." They related to his betrothal, when he had plenty of money in his pockets. Then came "furniture dealer and paper-hanger " they were furnishing their house. "Forwarding agents" they were moving into it.
So Madeleine had engaged her immediately! As usual, Furst had kept him waiting for his lesson; it was nearly three o'clock already, and he was so hurried that he could only change his collar; but, on the way there, in a sudden spurt of gratitude, he ran to a flower-shop, and bought a large bunch of carnations.
Madame Jules had arrived, dressed in white, looking simple and noble, wearing in her hair the marabouts the young baron had seen her choose in the flower-shop. That voice of love now pierced his heart. Had he won the slightest right to be jealous of her he would have petrified her then and there by saying the words, "Rue Soly!"
