It was the basket figure, where the ladies are all grouped in the centre. I was on one side of Lilly: on the other was a pretty, foreign-looking little creature dressed in black with gleams of scarlet breaking through.
Over dinner, Lefevre was beset with inquiries about his mysterious case: Was the young man better? Had he been very ill? Was he handsome? What had the foreign-looking stranger done to him? and for what purpose had he done it? These questions were mostly ignorant and thoughtless, and Lefevre either parried them or answered them with great reserve.
He was a foreign-looking man, and older than most of the clerks employed by Davis and Atchison which was the firm's name. He gave his own name as Martin. He had been sent over from Carbonear about ten days before to teach the factory a new way of treating seal-pelts by means of chemicals. We learnt afterwards that he earned good wages.
If this careless young man had only looked at the address on the wrapper of the bottle he could easily have guessed whose was the handwriting especially recognizable in the foreign-looking L and M. That timidly proffered little gift was Nina's humble effort at compensation; and now he was bringing it forward as a proof of Miss Burgoyne's great good-nature!
He continued to stand obstructingly in the middle of his log doorstep, one hand on the knob of the half closed door behind him, his eyes fixed very curiously on Johnny's flushed disorder. "What kind of an 'any one' are you looking for?" said Barry slowly. "Oh a well, I guess you've got to help me out on this. You know the country. There's no use stalling. It's a girl a foreign-looking girl."

"Miss Mackwayte knows Mortimer?" echoed Desmond in stupefaction. "But certainly," replied Nur-el-Din. "Was it not I myself " She broke off suddenly with terror in her eyes. "Ah, no!" she whispered. "It is enough. Already I have said too much..." Desmond was about to speak when the door opened and a foreign-looking maid, whom Desmond remembered to have seen in the dancer's dressing-room, came in.
But don't you see the diabolical cleverness of the scheme? The telegram arrived just in time to allow me to catch the 1:25 p. m. train, and rendering it idle to think of making a trunk call if I would obey an urgent message from my mother. Then again, when I reached Eastbourne, why should I suspect a foreign-looking gentleman who said Dr. Sinnett had sent his car to take me to the hotel?
We soaked ourselves in the turbulent rivers of the town with a feeling that we should never see them again. A foreign-looking waiter greeted us, and led us to one of a number of very small tables covered with linen which impressed even Frank's uncritical eyes with its mussiness.
"Tell Dexie I wish to see her here for a few minutes," he said, as Jarvis answered the summons. "She has gone out, Mr. Sherwood, and she left word that she would not be back till tea-time," and she glanced at the foreign-looking gentleman who made himself so very much at home. "Very well, that will do," and Jarvis left the room.
