I took a perfectly ripping French kid out to dinner last night name's Liane, from the Varietés and she was calling me 'mon grand cheri' before the salad, and 'mon p'tit amour' before the green mint. Maybe that'll buck you up!
And, mademoiselle, if you'll be kind enough to fetch me that carafe of ice water, I'll see if we can't bring the skipper to his senses, such as they are." His tone was sufficiently urgent to rouse Liane out of the lassitude into which reaction from terror had let her slip.
Roger would hardly have consented to the carrying out of Virginia's plan, which he called "kidnapping," had George Trent not joined his arguments to his sister's. "It does seem a mad idea," he admitted, "but if the woman isn't Liane Devereux, no harm will be done, except that she'll be taken a longer journey than she expects. If she is ah!
I cannot find it in my heart to blame you, since I am what I am, what the life you saved me to so long ago has made me. Why should you believe in me? Why should you credit the sincerity of this confession, which costs me so much humiliation? That would be too good for me, too much to ask of life!" "I think you cannot fairly complain of life, Liane.
You with your wit, your strength, your skill, your poise I with my great love to inspire and sustain you what a pair we should make! what happiness would be ours! Think, Michael think!" "I have thought, Liane," he returned in accents as kind as the hands that held her. "I have thought well..." "Yes?"
"I don't believe you," Liane retorted coolly. For some moments Lanyard continued to stare reflectively at his feet. Nothing whatever of his thought was to be gathered from his countenance, though eyes more shrewd to read than those of Phinuit or Monk were watching it intently. "Well, Mr. Lanyard, what do you say?" Lanyard lifted his meditative gaze to the face of Phinuit.
"Now there is where you can instruct me. I have been long in exile." "But you know how Liane graduated from the chorus of the Variétés, became first a principal there, then the rage of all the music halls with her way of singing rhymed indecencies." "One has heard something of that." "On the peak of her success she retired, saying she had worked long enough, made enough money.
I'd stake my life on it, if it were necessary." "How do you proceed to explain the identification and burial of Liane Devereux's body if she is now alive in Cairo?" "I don't pretend to explain yet. There was a mistake that's all I can say." "Liane Devereux was too well known for that to be possible.
While the waiter fetched additional chairs, the woman made her escorts known: Messieurs Benouville et Le Brun, two extravagantly insignificant young men, exquisitely groomed and presumably wealthy, who were making the bravest efforts to seem unaware that to be seen with Liane Delorme conferred an unimpeachable cachet.
We will take your car and go on." "But, monsieur, I " Leon began to expostulate. The icy accents of Liane Delorme cut it: "Well, Leon: what is your objection?" "Objection, madame?" the fellow faltered. "Pardon but it is not for me to object. I I was merely startled." "Then get over that at once," he was advised; "and bring my jewelcase Marthe will point it out to you to the touring-car."
