Let me see, it must have been in March " "I don't remember any rope of pearls," said Gorman. "I take no interest in pearls." "No? Still I hoped you might recollect those pearls. They were the finest I ever had in my hands." Goldsturmer spoke in a tone of pained regret. It seemed to him a sad thing that there should be any man in the world who took no interest in pearls.
Even politicians are not, of course, always believed, but they know how to lie in a way which makes it very difficult for any one to give expression to unbelief. Goldsturmer may actually have believed Gorman. He certainly pretended to. He did not even offer a two per cent. bonus. "I must ask you to pardon me," he said, "for occupying your time with my inquiries.
Goldsturmer slipped into the room and stood meekly near the door. "Sit down," said Gorman. "Sit on the bed if you can't find a chair, and tell me what you want with me, as quickly as you can." "It's very kind of you," said Goldsturmer, "to receive me at this hour. Nothing but the very pressing nature of my business but I will get to the point. You will doubtless remember a certain rope of pearls.
"It was Goldsturmer," said Gorman, "who told me. He seemed to think that Miss Donovan might buy them." Madame at once knocked down two wine-glasses and a vase of flowers. "That cursed offspring of the litter of filthy Jews who make Hamburg stink! Tell him that I will pull out his hair, his teeth, his eyes, but that never, never will that American miss touch one of my pearls.
"Madame Ypsilante bought them," said Goldsturmer. "There's no use coming to me," said Gorman, "if you've failed to get your money. I've nothing to do with the lady." Goldsturmer smiled. "She paid," he said. "Otherwise she would not have got the pearls. There was another lady who might have bought them, an American, a Miss Donovan." "But Madame got them," said Gorman. "Yes.
Round her neck was a magnificent rope of pearls. Gorman had no doubt that they were those of which Goldsturmer had spoken. They were finer than any he had ever seen. It was easy to believe that there was no other such necklace in the world and that only a queen should wear them. But they suited Madame Ypsilante. She would, so far as her appearance went, have made a very fine queen.
