Eagerly Keralio seized the portmanteau, and, opening it, emptied the contents. A perfect shower of greenbacks genuine ones this time fell upon the floor. With shaking hands, like a miser who trembles as he handles his hoarded gold, Keralio picked up the money by armfuls and, taking it to a table, proceeded to count it. "Is it all here?" he demanded suspiciously. The valet scowled.
"I knew him in his youth his character is inflexible he has taken his side, and he will not change it." In 1783, Napoleon Bonaparte, then only fourteen years old, was, though under the usual age, selected by Monsieur de Keralio, the inspector of the twelve military schools, to be sent to have his education completed in the general school of Paris.
I thought you would," said a voice behind her. She turned and found herself face to face with Signor Keralio. At first she was so astonished that she was speechless. Then her instinct prompted her to turn and flee. If this man had caused her to be decoyed to this house it could be for no good purpose. But there was no way of egress. The front door was closed and locked.
Before her eyes had become quite accustomed to the dark, a man advanced out of the shadow. It was Signor Keralio. She recognized him instantly and instinctively she shrank back, alarmed. How had he dared come again to her house after what had occurred? He noticed the movement and asked: "I see that I'm unwelcome. Do I frighten you so much?" Coldly she answered: "You do not frighten me.
You'll take the flyer to Philadelphia. Say you come from the mother. They'll have no suspicion. Take the child and come here at once. Understand?" "Oui, monsieur." Keralio rose. In commanding tones, he said: "Then go at once." The valet went to get his hat. As he approached the door Keralio halted him and said: "What's Handsome doing keeping sober?" "He has to, for I lock up all ze liquor.
"Ken doesn't care for him at all, only they are both interested in the same business deal a silver mine in Mexico. Ken bought stock and Keralio is the only man he knows connected with it. That's why." The lawyer gave vent to a grunt of disgust. "If Keralio has anything to do with it, good-bye to Ken's money. In my opinion the fellow's a crook."
In a letter of 1784 to the Minister of War his father says of Napoleon that, "following the advice of the Comte de Marbeuf, he has turned his studies towards the navy; and so well has he succeeded that he was intended by M. de Keralio for the school of Paris, and afterwards for the department of Toulon.
He looked at her in surprise. Never had he seen her in this mood. Approaching her more closely, he said kindly: "That can't be the only reason, dear, what's the matter?" She hesitated a moment before she answered: "I'm very nervous to-day. I was dreadfully irritated last night at the dinner. I wish I hadn't gone " "Who irritated you?" "That man Signor Keralio. I simply can't tolerate the man.
You know he sailed for South Africa two weeks ago. This is Mr. Steell, Signor Keralio. I think you know my sister. Mr. Parker Signor Keralio." The old gentleman nodded affably, and, putting on his glass, scrutinized the newcomer narrowly. The president of the Americo-African Mining Company had always made it a point not to neglect any chance introduction.
"I discharged him to-day for insolence," said Helen. "He's gone!" "Yes he went shortly before you came in." The lawyer jumped to his feet, a look of exultation on his face. Quickly, he said: "Didn't you say that this François was formerly with Signor Keralio?" "Yes he was with him for years." The lawyer gave a wild whoop of joy. "Then we've got it at last." "Got what?" cried the women.
