Again and again she had been perplexed and mystified by certain incomprehensible things which she had observed for instance, the fact that, as she knew, part of Max's correspondence was conducted in cipher; that at times he seemed quite unaccountably worried and depressed; and, above all, that he was for ever at the beck and call of Adrienne de Gervais.
She will one day stand amongst singers where you stand amongst the world's violinists." Kirolski bowed, and glanced smilingly from Baroni to Diana. "I've no doubt Miss Quentin will do more than that," he said. "A friend of mine heard her sing at Miss de Gervais' reception not long ago, and he has talked of nothing else ever since. I am very pleased to meet you, Miss Quentin." And he bowed again.
However, matters went altogether from bad to worse after an interview between the brothers, Gervais and Gregoire, in the course of which the latter lost his temper and indulged in unpardonable language. On the morrow, too, he began an action-at-law, to which Gervais replied by threatening that he would not send another grain of corn to be ground at the mill.
Diana stared at him in dismay, flushing a little. It was the first time he had spoken harshly to her since their marriage. In an instant he had caught her in his arms, passionately repentant. "Dearest, forgive me! It was only only that you are bound to read such things, and it angered me for a moment. Miss de Gervais and I see too much of each other to escape all comment."

One would have said that they were threatening and pursuing some one. He set out on his march again, then he began to run; and from time to time he halted and shouted into that solitude, with a voice which was the most formidable and the most disconsolate that it was possible to hear, "Little Gervais! Little Gervais!"
Marianne, as it happened, had weaned Gervais the day before, and he was there among the ladies, still somewhat unsteady on his legs, and yet boldly going from one to the other, careless of his frequent falls on his back or his nose. He was a gay-spirited child who seldom lost his temper, doubtless because his health was so good.
"Yes," said Gervais Aventin, and, as the detective sat silent for a moment, he enquired: "Is my information too vague to be of any use to you?" Juve was wondering inwardly why the dickens Etienne Rambert was not in that compartment when, according to the depositions of the guard, he must have been there; but he said nothing of this. Instead, he said: "Your information is most valuable, sir.
"You lie." Again he gripped me by the shoulder, gripped till the tears stood in my eyes. "No one, monsieur; I swear it." "You will not speak! I'll make you, by Heaven." He seized my thumb and wrist to bend one back on the other, torture with strength such as his. Yeux-gris sprang off the table. "Let alone, Gervais! The boy's honest." "He is a spy." "He is a fool of a country boy.
There were the twins nestling in their cradle, locked in one another's arms; there was Rose, the dear lost one, in her little shift; there were Ambroise and Gervais, bare, and wrestling on a patch of grass; there were Gregoire and Nicolas birdnesting; there were Claire and the three other girls, Louise, Madeleine, and Marguerite, romping about the farm, quarrelling with the fowls, springing upon the horses' backs.
