The natural feelings of a woman, at least, were strong in her, and she was fretting over the prospects of the baby who was soon to be born to her. Captain F. shared her anxiety. Now comes the scene which has stamped itself on my memory. I was sitting in Madame de Kries' parlor with her and her daughter an odd dark little thing, five or six years old. Suddenly Mrs F. came in.
"Well, a Mrs Fitzhubert used to come and see my mother long ago at Heidelberg. Do you know if your mother was ever at Heidelberg?" "I fancy she was I'm not sure." Still the Imp was very innocent, although the form of Harry's reply caused her inward amusement and triumph. "My mother was Madame de Kries. Ask Lady Tristram if she remembers the name."
Without a moment's hesitation he went; with him too all resolutions to know and to care nothing further about the matter vanished before the first chance of seeing more of it. And Mina had been Mina de Kries. She received him in the library; the Journal lay on the table.
She went on, in all innocence this time; she had no reason to think that Cholderton had been in possession of any secrets, and if he had, it would not have occurred to her that he would record them. "He knew my mother quite well; he used to come and see us. Does he mention her Madame de Kries?"
Besides, I did not know at that time, and I do not think that Madame de Kries did, where the first letter came from; Mrs F. said nothing about it. But when the certificate arrived about the middle of July, as I understood the mistake was clear; for a note in the official's hand translated the dates into New Style for the benefit of the foreigners to whom he was supplying the document.
