No conventional greetings of any sort had been exchanged. De Grost had scarcely closed the door behind him before Hagon addressed him breathlessly, almost fiercely. "Who are you, sir," he demanded, "and what do you want with me?" "You had my letter?" De Grost inquired. "I had your letter," the other admitted. "It told me nothing. You speak of business. What business have I with any here?"
At the time when you were the idol of all Russia and the leader of the great revolutionary party, you received funds from abroad." "I accounted for them," Hagon muttered. "Up to a certain point I accounted for everything." "You received funds from the Government of a European power," De Grost continued, "funds to be applied towards developing the revolution.
"You say that Hagon is infatuated?" "Blindly," de Grost replied. "He scarcely lets her out of his sight." "Your people watch Bernadine?" "Always." "Very well, then," Violet went on, "you will find that he will attempt an intrigue with the woman. The rest should be easy for you." De Grost sighed as he bent over his wife. "My dear," he said, "there is no subtlety like that of a woman."
"Has Bernadine approached him yet?" Violet inquired. "Not yet. He is half afraid to move. I think he realizes, or will very soon, how serious this man's existence may be for Germany." Violet was thoughtful for several moments, then she looked up quickly. "Bernadine will try the woman," she asserted. "You say that Hagon is infatuated?" "Blindly," De Grost replied.
He says that you you are Father Paul." Hagon did not hesitate for a second. "It is true," he admitted. Then there was a silence short, but tragical. Hagon seemed suddenly to have collapsed. He was like a man who has just had a stroke. He stood muttering to himself. "It is the end this the end!" he said, in a low tone. "Sophia!" She shrank away from him. He drew himself up.
"I am myself a wealthy man. I ask from you nothing in money; I ask you nothing in that way at all. A few words of information, and a certain paper which I believe you have in your possession, is all that I require." "Information?" Hagon repeated, shivering. "What I ask," de Grost declared, "is really a matter of justice.
At the time when you were the idol of all Russia and the leader of the great revolutionary party, you received funds from abroad." "I accounted for them," Hagon muttered. "Up to a certain point I accounted for everything." "You received funds from the Government of a European Power," de Grost continued "funds to be applied towards developing the revolution.
Bernadine's instinct had not deceived him, and the following afternoon his servant, who had already received orders, silently ushered Madame Hagon into his apartments. She was wrapped in magnificent sables and heavily veiled. Bernadine saw at once that she was very nervous and wholly terrified. He welcomed her in as matter-of-fact a manner as possible.
