If I can wring them out of the old professor, or find them, I will then hide them away and secretly report the whole affair to the Viceroy, in my chosen colors as a friend of the Crown, and they'll give me a huge reward; my permanent army rank will soon follow. So, if Justine only holds to my alibi, by God! I will marry her, for she would be a badge of respectability.
Horse and rider shot into sight again, rounding the curve of the avenue near the gates, and in a break of sunlight Justine saw the glitter of chestnut flanks and remembered that Impulse was the only chestnut in the stables.... She went back to her seat and continued writing.
Madame's toilet operations were resumed, for she was engaged in dressing. The chambermaid's nose had already been the recipient of a superb muslin chemise, with a simple hem, which Caroline had thrown at her from the dressing-room, though she had given her the same kind for the last three months. "What are you thinking of, Justine? I told you to choose from the chemises that are not numbered."
But that might be from some impulse of the moment, for Justine was naturally a little excitable. We walked aside, and, looking at me with a flush of happiness in her face, she said: "You remember one day on the 'Fulvia' when I told you that money was everything to me; that I would do all I honourably could to get it?" I nodded. She continued: "It was that I might pay a debt you know it.
"So you have written my husband to come back?" "As you see." Bessy looked her straight in the eyes. "I am very much obliged to you extremely obliged!" Justine met the look quietly. "Which means that you resent my interference " "Oh, I leave you to call it that!" Bessy mocked, tossing the letter down on the table at her side. "Bessy! Don't take it in that way.
"But tell me what it is!" "Besides, you are the one that's in the wrong " "Speak, or I'll go away." "There's no one but you that can get me out of the scrape and it was you that got me into it." "Come, come." "It's about " "About " "About Justine!" "Don't speak of her, she's discharged. I won't see her again, her style of conduct exposes your reputation "
I shall not want you again to-night. But I shall change my dress. It is so unpleasant; I hate blood. I hope you will be well in the morning." To this Justine replied: "Ah, madame, I am sorry. I could not help it; but I shall be quite well in the morning, I am sure." Then she added quietly to me: "The poor madame! She will not see suffering. She hates pain. Sickness troubles her.
"Madame will be cremated, and her ashes placed in an urn in the garden, mademoiselle, in a fine mausoleum, with just her name, 'Justine, and the dates no more. Madame told me that these were her wishes." "Do you know what is in this box?" "Not at all, and I incline to think there may be nothing: the mind was quite confused.
Alexandra asked briskly of the graduate servant. Justine was business-like. "Seven dollars for two persons is the smallest sum we are allowed to handle," she said promptly. "After that each additional person calls for three dollars weekly in our minimum scale. Four or five dollars a week per person, not including the maid, is the usual allowance." "Mercy!
She looked at herself in the mirror and said aloud ill-humoredly 'I did not look well this evening, my complexion is going with alarming rapidity; perhaps I ought to keep earlier hours, and give up this life of dissipation. Does Justine mean to trifle with me? She rang again; her maid hurried in. Where she had been I cannot tell; she came in by a secret staircase.
