I dined there last night. My business here is done. I start for Rome to-night." "Lucky man. They have put on a new fast train, haven't they?" "Yes. You leave the Gare de Lyon at 7.15, and you are at Rome the second morning, in good time." "Magnificent! Why don't we all rush south? Well, good-bye again, and good luck." They touched hands perfunctorily and parted. This happened about mid-day.
It is needless to add they consider it a grave infringement of their personal liberty and think that they should be allowed to remain in the open and see all that goes on, just as the little Londoners beg and coax to be allowed to stay up "to see the Zepps." Passing the railway-station, we stopped to make some inquiries, and promptly ascertained all we wished to know from the chef de gare.
"In Paris you could get plenty good cigars," Hymie Salzman said, and Hymie was right for, at the Gare St. Lazare, M. Adolphe Kaufmann-Levi, commissionnaire, awaited them, his pockets literally spilling red-banded perfectos at every gesture of his lively fingers. M. Kaufmann-Levi spoke English, French, and German with every muscle of his body from the waist up. "Welcome to France, Mr.
"You shall tell me all here!" he said, firmly, crushing her delicate hands in his own against his breast, so that she felt the beating of his heart. "Give me my hand. I'll show you his letter his last letter to me." And, trembling, she drew from under her pillow that last scrawled letter, written from the squalid hotel near the Gare de Sceaux.
"Nothing," the old fellow declared promptly. "Since that night I've earned an honest living. I'm a waiter in a cafe in the Avenue de la Gare." "A most excellent decision," laughed the well-dressed man. "It is not everyone who can afford to be honest in these hard times. I wish I could be, but I find it impossible. Now, tell me, Giulio, what do you know about the affair at the Villa Amette?
Five minutes later he was in a public telephone-box speaking to the receiver of stolen goods. Then, without returning to the Hôtel Ombrone, we took a taxi direct to the Gare de Lyon. As Duperré took three first-class tickets to Fontainebleau, the undersized, grave-faced old man whom I had seen at the moment of our arrest followed him, and also took a ticket to the same destination.
We've got two splendid nurses, and a doctor who is giving us his entire time." "What doctor is it?" The chauffeur, having strapped the luggage to the back of the car, was looking to them for instructions. "What would you like to do, dear? Stop anywhere, or go straight home?" "Oh, home. I want to see the old man." In a twinkling they had left the gare and were heading for the heights."
A waiter at the Gare du Nord, in Brussels, on one occasion pressed upon me a five-franc piece, a small Turkish coin the value of which was unknown to me, and remains so to this day, a distinctly bad two francs, and from a quarter of a pound to six ounces of centimes, as change for a twenty-franc note, after deducting the price of a cup of coffee.
Whatever did follow caused the girl to murmur: "This is the lover I love; this is the lover I have been waiting for in my castle of romance. I am glad that I have lost all worldly things; I am glad, glad! When did you first learn that you loved me?" "At the Gare du Nord, in Paris; the first time I saw you." "And you followed me across the ocean?" wonderingly.
Also, although not quite so emphatically, he relinquished all thoughts of arriving at the Gare du Nord, and of finding a train to take him home to his province, where his wife lived. The reasons that made him desire his wife, were quite satisfied with the gentle pressure on his arm.
