"When are you coming to see me again, Stepan?" she asked, determined not to let him part without some definite future meeting settled. "I will come back and take coffee with you to-night," he answered unexpectedly. Harietta was enchanted, she had not hoped for this. "No one bothers so much about dressing now, stay and dine as you are."
"For all these things you might still have gone free, Harietta and fate would punish you in time, but you have committed that great crime for which there can be no mercy. You have acted the part of a spy. A wretched spy, not for patriotism but for your own ends you have not been faithful to either side. Have you not often given me the secrets of your late husband Hans?
There was nothing to distinguish any individual the company were of several nations German and Austrian and Balkan and Russian scattered about here and there among the French and American habitues. The only plan would be to continue to watch Harietta but although he did this throughout the dinner, not a flicker of her eyelids gave him any further clue.
"It is during the second when she passes before me that I receive the most profound impression, more even than at the actual moment of the firing." "Harietta Boleski is beside the post. The bugles stop their mournful sound. They tie her to it, but not tightly, only so that her fall may not be too hard. A gendarme presents her with a bandeau for her eyes, which she pushes aside with scorn.
And somewhere in France, Denzil and John were thinking of her too, each with great love in his heart. Harietta Boleski was growing dissatisfied with her life. England was of no amusement to her, and yet Hans insisted upon her staying on. She wanted to go to Paris. The war altogether was a supreme bore and upset her plans!
Harietta had never been so happy in all the thirty-six years of her life. This was her hour of triumph. She was here in a country which spoke her own language for her French was deplorably bad she had an unquestioned position, and all would have been without flaw but for this tiresome information she was forced to collect. Verisschenzko had been detained in Paris.
I love her with a love such beings as you cannot dream of, knowing only the senses and playing only to them. That will be your knowledge always, that I worship and reverence this woman, and hold you in supreme contempt." Harietta writhed and whined on the sofa where she had fallen. "Go," he went on icily. "I have no further use for you, and my car is waiting below.
"Is there not some quiet corner in the garden where we can be alone for a few minutes. You drive me mad." Harietta loved to hear this, and in triumph she raised her head and drew him into one of the sitting-rooms, and so out of the open windows on into the darkness beyond the limitations of the lawn.
"It is Ferdinand you must concentrate on; I am not concerned with the brother or his wife, except in so far as his hate for them can be used to our advantage. Do not embark upon this to play games of your own for your hate you may be foolish then and upset matters." "Very well." The two objects could go together, Harietta felt; she never wasted words.
Put your veil over your face and go quietly to your rooms. I will wish you a very good-night and farewell!" He got out and stood with mock respect uncovered to assist her, and she was obliged to follow him. The hall porter and the numerous personnel of the hotel were looking on. He bowed once more and appeared to kiss her hand: "Good-bye, Harietta! Sleep well."
