Curtis was marshaling her forces for a mighty effort when the door opened, and Steingall entered, accompanied by a tall, well set-up man in evening dress, and wearing an open overcoat and green Homburg hat. "Well," cried Devar, springing forward with outstretched hand, "I'm mighty glad to see you, John D.!" The newcomer's face lit with pleasure, but before he could utter a responsive word Mrs.
Yet to Amaryllis it was perhaps the raffish green imitation-velours Homburg hat which did most to alter Dick Bellamy's aspect; so that she would wait for a glance of his eyes to assure herself that this was indeed her wonderful friend and champion, and no new man nor changed spirit. But Pépe, its one honest and unpretentious person, had made the whole trio bizarre and incredible.
Manage it they did, however; crept into their narrow cells at night, to emerge next morning, like butterflies from the chrysalis, gay, bright, and brilliant, and to recommence the never-varying but pleasant round of eating, sauntering, love-making, and gambling. Homburg was not then what it has since become.
Mine is most inconvenient, because he generally adores me, and at best only leaves me for a three weeks' cure at Homburg, and now and then a week at Paris; but Malcolm could be sent to the Rocky Mountains, and places like that, continuously; he is quite a sportsman." "That is not my idea of a husband," I said. "Well, what is your idea, snake-girl?" "Why do you call me 'snake-girl'?" I asked.
"Never mind. Cut off. We'll tell you all about it to-morrow." Master Maloney prepared reluctantly to depart. As he did so there was a sound of a well-shod foot on the stairs, and a man in a snuff-coloured suit, wearing a brown Homburg hat and carrying a small notebook in one hand, walked briskly into the room. It was not necessary for Psmith to get his Sherlock Holmes system to work.
When did a rheumatic ploughman have recourse to Bath or Buxton? They order these things better in France. Between Osse and Oloron stands Escot, long famous for its warm springs. The principal patrons of this modest watering-place are the peasants. It is their Carlsbad, their Homburg, many taking a season as regularly as the late King Edward.
"Farewell, then, to the thousand franc note " "Pooh! Nonsense! You don't suppose I throw away my last cash that way. The Frankfort jewellers know me well, or think they do, which is the same thing. They have seen enough of my coin since I have been at Homburg. For them, as for my excellent mother-in-law, I am the wealthy partner in the undoubted good firm of Van Haubitz, Krummwinkel, & Co.
"Every woman does," Helen admitted, smiling. "I suppose the child really can keep the hat, can't she?" she added, turning to the Commandant. "Officially the matter is outside my cognizance," he declared. "I shall have nothing to say." The two young men exchanged glances. "A hat," Somerfield ruminated, "especially a Homburg hat, is scarcely an appurtenance of warfare."
The woman did not reply at first, but raised her eyes to the ceiling, as if she were reading there the list of all the foreigners of distinction who honored the Hotel de Homburg by their presence at that moment. "Lucy Huntley!" she repeated. "I don't recollect that name! I don't think there's such a person in the house Lucy Huntley! What kind of a person is she?"
There was a little applause, all due to Ashmead's preliminary apology, but there was no real reception; for Germany is large and musical, and she was not immediately recognized at Homburg. But there was that indescribable flutter which marks a good impression and keen expectation suddenly aroused.
