Then it was that these two arose stiffly from their sheltered bench and gave heed to the things that were about them. The Channel was behind them. They journeyed to Paris by the night mail. He was waiting for her on the platform when she descended from the wagon lit in the Gare du Nord. Sleepy passengers crowded with them into the customs department.
There is no possible neutrality on the greater issues of life. The Face of Paris I shall never forget the poignant impression that Paris made on me that first morning in early June when I descended from the train at the Gare de Lyon.
One of his business associates in Paris, rendered impatient by the failure of the great man to return as quickly as he had promised, arrived in England by the afternoon service from the Gare du Nord, and was actually standing in the foyer of the hotel when Vanrenen entered with the others.
"Monsieur Max would have you to know, mademoiselle, that he possesses an altogether unusual and superior set of Oriental china, which he bought from a certain villanous Jew at the corner of the rue André de Sarte; that for safety he has locked that china into the artistic and musty dower-chest standing against the wall; and that for greater safety he has forgotten the key in an antique hotel near the Gare du Nord!"
Count Julius Marulitch breathed heavily, and Constantine Beliani threw a wary eye over Alec. "Good!" said Stampoff. "That clears the air. I shall be ready to accompany your Majesty by the train that leaves the Gare de l'Est at seven-thirty P.M." Prince Michael laughed dryly. "You see," he said. "I was sure Stampoff would interfere with my dinner hour."
One came, the old reprobate who drove it casting his practiced eye about for a likely looking customer. He deigned to notice me, recognizing me for an American, and well knowing our national childish impatience, and its lucrative consequences. He drove up to the curb. "Where to?" he asked defiantly, blinking his bleary eyes, his red alcoholic face set in insolent lines. "La Gare du Nord."
"Oh, bother!" she exclaimed. "I knew that it was somewhere up by the Gare du Nord." They turned off from the Rue Lafayette and pulled up opposite a milliner's shop. "Mademoiselle Rignaut lives up above," Lady Anne said, alighting. "It's sweet of you to have brought me, Julien." "I am going to wait and see that you are all right," he replied, ringing the bell.
Gratitude to America is expressed everywhere, and Prague, in 1921, is perhaps the one capital in the world where Wilson's name and fame are still undimmed. Is not Wilson's face in bas-relief on the wall of the main station, "Gare Wilson," supported, curiously enough, by the admiring figures of two Bacchantes wreathed in the vine? It counts more to be an American in Prague than to be English.
They could have made our speed walking on their hands, and they accomplished at least a third of the journey this way. Of course, I deluged them with large round five and ten centimes pieces. We arrived at last before a door in a short street near the Gare du Nord. Was it the Rue Jessaint?
Of course, I am not asking how you spent your time, except in so far as concerns the lady and the business with which I entrusted you." Jacob dived into the inside-pocket of his jacket and produced a little note-book of which he turned over the pages and read them aloud in the voice of a man reading a report: "Wednesday evening, 8.15.
