Then they parted for the night with much of the disturbance and the complex emotions removed from Denzil's heart. When Verisschenzko reached Paris and discovered the desecration of the Ikon, an icy rage came over him. He knew, even before questioning his old servant, that it could only be the work of Harietta. Jealousy alone would be the cause of such a wanton act.
Another woman would have been insulted at the tone and the insinuation in the words, but not so Harietta. She did not pretend to have a brain, that was one of her strong points, and she understood and appreciated the crudest methods, so long as their end was for the pleasure of herself. She nodded, and that was all.
"May I not have the pleasure of a turn with you; it is delightful to meet you again." Harietta slipped her hand out of Hans' arm and stood still, determined to secure Stepan at once since the chance had come. Verisschenzko divined her intention and continued, his voice serious with its mock respect: "I wonder if I could persuade you to come with me and find your husband.
They smoked silently for a moment Verisschenzko's Calmuck face fixed and inscrutable and Denzil's debonnaire English one usually grave. "Some one told me that your friend, Madame Boleski, was having a tremendous success in London. I wish I could have got leave, I should like to have seen the whole thing." "Harietta is enjoying her luck-moment; she is in her zenith.
But how was she going to be sure to see Stepan again that was the question which still agitated her. Verisschenzko wished to further examine Ferdinand Ardayre, and so decided to make every one uncomfortable once more by staying on. Stanislass, very nervous with him now, talked fast and foolishly. Harietta fidgeted, and in a moment or two Ferdinand Ardayre was announced.
You may as well avail yourself of it and return to your hotel. In the morning the last proof of the interest I have taken in you may be given, but to-night you can sleep." Harietta cried aloud she was frightened at last. What did he mean? But even fear was swallowed up in the frantic thought that he had done with her, that he would never any more hold her in his arms.
Now that Verisschenzko had come, Harietta ardently wished that he would. The most venomous hate was arising in Ferdinand's resentful soul. He felt that here was a rival to be dreaded indeed. He saw that Harietta was nervous; he had never seen her so before. He shut his teeth and determined to stay on. Verisschenzko continued his disconcerting silence.
As soon as he recalled himself to Madame Boleski they all went into the restaurant to the Boleski table, just inside the door, by the window on the right. Harietta put John on one side of her and Denzil at the other, and beyond were Verisschenzko and her husband, with Amaryllis between, who thus sat nearly opposite Denzil, with her back to the room.
"Ferdinand Ardayre is deeply incriminated with Harietta; it is only a question of a little time and he will be taken too. Then, Denzil, you, in the natural course of events, would have been the Head of the Family. You will need all your philosophy never to feel any jar in the situation with your son as the years go on.
But I only love you, Darling Brute even though we have had a row." "I know that, of course. I am not jealous, only you have not given me any proofs lately, so I am going to retire from the field. I came to say good-bye." He looked adorably attractive, Harietta thought he made her blood run.
