He hates his brother who is the head of the family and he hates his brother's wife for family reasons which it is not necessary to waste time in telling you. I knew him in Constantinople. Underneath I believe he hates the English there is a slur on him." "I have already met him," and Harietta's eyes sparkled. "I hate the wife also for my own reasons yes how can I help you with this?"
He called up the Universal and asked to be put through to the apartment of Madame Boleski, and soon heard Harietta's voice. It was a little anxious and yet insolent too. "Yes? Is that you Stepan! Darling Brute! What do you want?" "You cannot you come and dine with me to-night alone?" His voice was honey sweet, with a spontaneous, frank ring in it, only his face still looked as a fiend's.
Harietta's ill humour rose again; she was annoyed that she had forgotten this incident. Her instinct of self-preservation usually preserved her from committing any such mistakes.
What could this mean? Verisschenzko had come straight through from Petrograd to England. He had been delayed and had never returned to Paris since September. He knew nothing of Harietta's sacrilege as yet. But he had at last accumulated sufficient proof against her to have her entirely in his hands. He thought over the whole matter as he came down in the train to Ardayre.
The affairs of Poland were not prospering as he had hoped, and these papers required his supreme attention there was German intrigue going on somewhere underneath. He longed for Harietta's sympathy which she had been so prodigal in bestowing before she had secured her divorce from that brute of a Teutonic husband, whom she hated so much.
I shall only give her up because of justice she must not be at large. You see, even in my case, I who pride myself on being balanced, can have my true point of view obsessed by hate. It is an ignoble passion, my son!" "You will catch Ferdinand too?" "Undoubtedly he is just a rotten little snipe, but he does mischief as Harietta's tool and through his business in Holland."
But when he was alone with Denzil late, after the two women had retired to bed, he sunk into a deep chair in the smoking room and suddenly burst into a peal of cynical laughter. "What the devil's up?" demanded Denzil, astonished. "I am thinking of Harietta's exquisite mistake. She believes the baby is mine!
Amaryllis had been to Harietta's dinners and dances, and now the Boleskis had been asked down to Ardayre in return for the three days at the end of the month, when the coming of age of the young Marquis of Bridgeborough would give occasion for great rejoicings, and Amaryllis herself would give a ball.
Most criminals have some stable point in immorality; Harietta is troubled by nothing fixed, no law of God or man means anything to her, she is only ruled by her sense of self-preservation. Her career is picturesque." "Had she ever any children?" Verisschenzko crossed himself. "Heaven forbid! Think of watching Harietta's instincts coming out in a child! Poor Stanislass is at least saved that!"
She picked him up and could hardly control her voice into a tone of respectfulness as she spoke: "Monsieur Insborg demands if he can see Madame in half an hour. He telephoned to Madame but received no reply." For a second Harietta's eyes betrayed her; they narrowed with alarm, and then she said suavely: "I suppose the receiver was off.
