"Not exactly that, sir, but he seemed to be uncommon vexed when we could give him no news of her." "Where is his lordship now?" "Gone to London, sir, by the 10.5. He damned me for the last time half an hour ago." "Oh, did he?" Medenham glanced at his watch, twisted himself free of the wheel, leaped to the pavement, and tapped one of the hall-porter's gold epaulettes impressively.
"I think we had better remain here," said the girl sadly, though it was plain that Curtis's offer of protection during the alarm created by the hall-porter's errand had advanced him a long way in her esteem.
She went down gaily, in spite of her weariness, and used the hall-porter's telephone to ring up Julia. Miss Winter would come and was very pleased, thank you. Marie went upstairs again, the ascent making her breathless. The stairs and the landings were grey stone, uncarpeted, for this was the cheapest block of flats in the road. Oh, money, money! Accursed, lovable stuff!
Now she had two hundred and no man to keep. It would have taken a woman to understand why she suddenly sprang up, why her sallowed face took on a hasty colour, and with what an incredulously beating heart she hastened down the grey stone stairs to the hall-porter's box.
It was fortunate that there were no street boys in the Grunewald colony, as Wölfchen would assuredly have played with them; as it was, his playfellows were only a hall-porter's children.
"My lord wrote it at the hall-porter's desk, while I stood there then with Mr Mr. Morris," said Gumbo, and the letter was to this effect: "DEAR SIR I am sorry I cannot comply with your wish, I'm short of money at present, having paid large sums to you as well as to other gentlemen. Yours obediently, MARCH AND R. "Henry Warrington, Esq." "Did Lord March say anything?" asked Mr.
"Seen anything of Mr. Van Koon?" he asked. "Mr. Van Koon? yes, sir. He came back a few minutes after you and Mr. Allerdyke and he had gone out, got a suit-case from upstairs, left word that he'd be away for the night, and went off in a taxi, sir," answered the man. "Seemed to be in a great hurry, sir!" Before Fullaway could speak, Chilverton seized the hall-porter's arm.
It won't harm the boy to cast a glance at those circles for once in a way. I also went to our hall-porter's home as a boy. And why not?" She wanted to say: "But that was something quite different, there was no danger in your case" but then she thought better of it and said nothing.
Come, we will discuss our mutual strange non-conformity to the wild world's custom or caprice over a glass of good wine, observe, please, that I am neither a 'total abstainer' nor a 'vegetarian, and that I have a curious fashion of being TEMPERATE, and of using all the gifts of beneficent Nature equally, and without prejudice! While he spoke, they had crossed the road, and they now entered the vestibule of the hotel, where, declining the hall-porter's offer of the "lift," Heliobas ascended the stairs leisurely to the second floor, and ushered his companion into a comfortable private sitting-room.
The facts disclosed by the hall-porter were certainly remarkable. Only one member of the party had behaved in a normal manner. Sir Hubert Fitzjames, soon after his arrival, went quietly to bed, but the hall-porter's report as to the conduct of the others was passing strange. One of them, to his surprise, had rung up the Prefecture of Police in Paris on the telephone.
