I have been all alone waiting for you for the last hour I began to fear you would not come." Verisschenzko looked at her, with his cynical, humorous smile, whose meaning never reached her. He took in the transparent garments which hardly covered her, and then he bent and picked up a man's handkerchief which lay on a table near. "Tiens! Harietta!" he remarked lazily.
With Harietta this disappointment could never occur, since she created no illusion that she was appealing to the mind at all, and so a man if he were attracted faced no unknown quality, but was aware that it was only the animal in him which was drawn, and if his senses were his masters, not his servants, her victory was complete.
"Lady of my Soul!" he cried, exalted once more, and he bent as though to kiss her hands, but straightened himself and threw them gently from him. "No! I will resist all temptations! Now you must dress and dine, and dance, and do your duty and later we will say farewell." Harietta Boleski stamped across her charming chintz chamber in the great tower.
Women with the attributes of Harietta, were they European, would have surface vulgarity showing and so be out of the running, or they would have real passion which would be their undoing passion is glorious it is aroused by something beyond the physical. Observe her nostril! There is simple, delightful animal sensuality for you!
"She is longing to understand life, she is groping; why do you not set about her education, Denzil?" "That is the husband's business." "Not in this case. I consider it is yours; you are the right mate for her. John Ardayre is a good fellow, but he stands for nothing in the affair. Why did you waste your time upon Harietta, when time is so short?" "I was given no choice."
Dressing was a serious business to Harietta, but she meant to cut it down to half an hour to-night, because there was a certain apartment in the Rue Cambon which she intended to visit for a few minutes. "What an original street to have an apartment in!" people always said to Verisschenzko. "Nothing but business houses and model hotels for travellers!"
"The news is of vital importance, Stanislass. You must return with me to London; of all things you must show energy now and hold your men together. I leave in the morning. You hesitate! impossible! Harietta keeps you! Bah! then I wash my hands of you and Poland. Weakling! to let a woman rule you. Well; if you choose thus, you can go by yourself to hell. I have done with you."
"I am absolutely certain that whether it is in John's writing or not, Ferdinand, or some one who uses his unique scent, has touched that card. Now we must investigate everything." He walked up and down the room in agitation for a few moments; talking rapidly to himself half in Russian Amaryllis caught bits. "Ferdinand how to his advantage? None. What then? Harietta? Harietta but why for her?"
"She looked a little bored, but afterwards they danced several times together." "Ah!" and that was all Verisschenzko said, but his thoughts ran: "An infantry officer not a large enough capture for Harietta to waste time on in a public place when she is here to advance herself. She danced with him because she was obliged to. I must ascertain who this man is." Amaryllis saw that he was preoccupied.
Verisschenzko threw himself into the opposite chair, his yellow-green eyes full of a mocking light. "I have seen a brooch even finer than the ruby ring at Cartier's just now I thought perhaps if I were very pleased with you, it might be yours." Harietta bounded from her chair and sat upon his knee. "You perfect angel, Stepan, I adore you!" she said.
