So he had gone first to the Chelsea studio in which he played the painter who never painted but kept a whole wardrobe of disguises for the models he never hired. Thence he had issued on this occasion in the living image of a well-known military man about town who was also well known to be a client of Dan Levy's. Raffles said the cashier stared at him, but the cheque was cashed without a word.
Monsieur Levy's eyes at once filled with tears; he murmured a few feeling words about his family, and then pressed my hands warmly: "Thank you, thank you, dear Doctor." Since then, Monsieur Levy has suffered a good deal, I must admit. There are the plugs! And those abominable india-rubber tubes we push into the wounds!
Perhaps he will let us know soon, for it is clearly a secret known to his wife; and though she has hitherto kept one secret, that is precisely the reason why Riccabocca would not wish long to overburden her discretion with another. Randal reached home in time to dress for a late dinner at Baron Levy's.
His listener interrupted him here with a few questions, the clear and prompt replies to which enabled Harley to detect Levy's plausible perversion of the facts; and he vaguely guessed the cause of the usurer's falsehood, in the criminal passion which the ill-fated bride had inspired.
"Go to him! in his own house! What a scene, what a scandal! Could he ever forgive you?" "At least, then, I will implore him to come here. I can not write such horrible words; I cannot! I cannot! Go, go!" Levy left her, and hastened to two or three of Audley's most pressing creditors, men, in fact, who went entirely by Levy's own advice.

"I only think he should be warned that he is being followed." "Whatever he has done?" I ventured. "Yes!" said she. "Whatever he has done after what he did for Teddy yesterday!" "You want me to warn him?" "Yes but not from me!" "And suppose he really did take Mrs. Levy's necklace?" "That's just what we are supposing." "But suppose it wasn't for a joke at all?"
The fresh frosty air roused his intellectual faculties, which Levy's ominous words had almost paralyzed. And the first thing the clever schemer said to himself was this, "But what can be the man's motive in what he said to me?" The next was, "Egerton ruined! What am I, then?" And the third was, "And that fair remnant of the old Leslie property! L20,000 down how to get the sum?
Meanwhile, the object of this dialogue the type of perverted intellect, of mind without heart, of knowledge which had no aim but power was in a state of anxious, perturbed gloom. He did not know whether wholly to believe Levy's assurance of his patron's ruin.
It was a welcome break in the monotony for him to receive a call from Levy's agent, and the fact that the visitor felt inclined to provide liquid refreshment of a grade considerably higher than he had been able to indulge himself in for many years did not detract from his welcome.
