Close before the bottle passed a single pair, like the bridal pair the mate and the furrier's daughter who had so long ago wandered in the wood. It seemed to the bottle as if he were living that time over again. Not only the guests but other people were walking in the garden, who were allowed to witness the splendor and the festivities.
He was the son of a portrait painter, and had just passed a first-rate examination for mate, and was to go on board his vessel the next day to sail for far-distant countries. Much was said about his voyage during the drive; and when it was spoken of, there was not exactly an expression of joy in the eyes and about the mouth of the furrier's daughter.
As we did so we perceived that it was surrounded by a high stone wall, and mademoiselle exclaimed positively: "It is Le Jaquemart; but it is strange it is occupied, for the Sieur de Richelieu is in Italy." "Bien," I thought to myself, "the furrier's niece knows all about the Sieurs de Richelieu!"
During such a pleasant time it forgot the twenty years up in the loft, and it is good to be able to forget. Close by it passed a couple arm-in-arm, like the happy pair in the wood, the mate and the furrier's daughter. It seemed to the bottle as if it were living that time over again.
"Jean is an old Frenchman, a hunter who drifted down to Oakdale from somewhere in Canada. He has a log cabin in Upton Wood, a forest just east of Oakdale. To him I owe the beautiful set of fox furs, you have so often admired. He had the skins dressed for me, and Mother sent them to a furrier's in New York and had them made into a muff and scarf for me. I have known him since I was a little girl."
Do you now understand?" asked the "saint." "Ah, I see! You want some documents introduced into the furrier's house incriminating both him and his wife?" "Exactly. And at once. They must both be arrested before noon to-morrow," Rasputin said. "I shall leave all the details to you, well knowing that they will be in good hands, my dear Manuiloff," laughed Rasputin grimly. "One thing is important.
One morning the bottle found a purchaser in the furrier's apprentice, who was told to bring one of the best bottles of wine. It was placed in the provision basket with ham and cheese and sausages. The sweetest fresh butter and the finest bread were put into the basket by the furrier's daughter herself, for she packed it.
The world's record for a man to stay under water, holding his breath, is four minutes and thirty-seven seconds. Joe was several seconds short of that, but he was ambitious. It was about a week after this that one day, as Joe and Helen were walking around town after the afternoon performance, Helen paused in front of a furrier's.
"Choose your consort with the eyes of an old man, and choose your horse with the eyes of a young man." "A good girl is worth more than seven boys." "When you are in town, if you observe that people wear the hat on one side, wear yours likewise." "The fox's last hole is the furrier's shop."
They found, however, a furrier's shop, and this they entered eagerly. From rusted metal hooks a few warped fragments of skins still hung, moth-eaten, riddled with holes, ready to crumble at the merest touch. "There's nothing in any of these to help us," judged Stern. "But maybe we might find something else in here."
