In consequence of M. de Keralio's report, Bonaparte was transferred to the Military College of Paris, along with MM. Montarby de Dampierre, de Castres, de Comminges, and de Laugier de Bellecourt, who were all, like him, educated at the public expense, and all, at least, as favorably reported.
If he only knew how repellent he is to a decent woman he would cease to annoy me." He laughed. "Oh, Keralio's not a bad sort when you get to know him. Those foreigners think nothing of making love to a woman " "I don't want to know him," she retorted with spirit, "and what's more, I don't want him coming here. One evening he was so insulting that I had to show him the door.
Three children were born of this marriage, two boys and a girl: Louis, whose acquaintance we have made under the name of Roland, Amelie, whose beauty he had praised to Sir John, and Edouard. It was there that Bonaparte knew the child, when, on M. de Keralio's report, he was judged worthy of promotion from the Ecole de Brienne to the Ecole Militaire. Louis was the youngest pupil.
She might pretend to, but only to pacify us. Afraid that punishment might be visited on the child, she would obey the warning not to talk, and she will come here to Keralio's flat to-morrow at the time the letter stated. Of course, she has no idea Keralio wrote the letter. But even if she had, it would make no difference. I know her. She would run any risk to save her child."
"Oui, monsieur. Didn't you receive my telegram. I brought the child from Philadelphia yesterday evening." Steell, puzzled, turned to his companion. "What child are they talking about?" he whispered. "I have no idea. Some more mischief they're up to, I guess." Again Keralio's voice was heard asking: "Where is Handsome to-day? I told him to come. Why isn't he here?" "He's drinking again, monsieur.
But François was so utterly fagged after his long walk from the Elevated road, carrying his heavy suitcase, that he worried about nothing save his own discomfort. Unable to find a taxi, he had been compelled to tramp the entire distance, and the fatigue of it had made him peevish. He could have saved himself at least a mile if he had taken a more direct road, but Keralio's orders were explicit.
The loss of the diamonds did not directly concern her, although she felt that, too, was part of the mystery. But his strange aloofness of manner, his inexplicable loss of memory and nervousness, the frenzied outburst when she had mentioned Keralio's name that afternoon, the sudden craving for drink was not all this to some extent, corroboration of what the fencing master has told her?
The bitter, cynical smile was still on Keralio's lips as he went on: "You see the folly of resisting me. Had you surrendered at that time all might have been well. The price was not too much to pay. I would have been discreet. No one but ourselves would have known that you and I were "
The lawyer was silent for a few moments. Then meditatively, he said: "No, that would be a mistake. No doubt, by this time, she has received Keralio's anonymous letter. She is probably frantic with anxiety over the news of her child's disappearance, and will respond eagerly to any clue that promises to take her to her child. If we warned her she would pay no heed.
"Signor Keralio " "Ah always that fellow! Who is he?" "An adventurer of the worst type. I have had him shadowed by one of my men. He has a police record as a dangerous criminal of international reputation." "And Kenneth's valet that fellow François." "He was formerly in Keralio's employ." The President rose. Extending his hand to the lawyer, he said: "That's enough.
