As a brother in good standing, one could hardly do less than humour her gracefully; so Lanyard trotted up to the companion ladder, and Liane, resting a hand of sisterly affection upon his arm, besought him to make clear to her feminine stupidity Swain's hopelessly technical explanation of the compass and binnacle. Obligingly Mr.
Lanyard spared himself the thankless trouble of watching to see if they were followed having little doubt they were and took his ease by the side of Liane Delorme.
But to-morrow both, and more than likely Liane as well, would be on the wing; or Lanyard had been sorely mistaken in seeing in her as badly frightened a woman as he had ever known, when she had learned of the assassination of de Lorgnes.
But it was not known until the day after." "Was it the man of whom he was jealous who was murdered?" "No, the woman, Liane Devereux. She had been shot in the face. Oh, it was horrible! It is horrible now to talk to you of it. Her features were so destroyed that she could be recognized only by her hair, which was golden-red, and her figure her beautiful figure which all the world admired so much.
"Your debt to me is fully discharged, Liane. But, messieurs, one question: Knowing I am determined to restore these jewels to their owner, why this open handedness?" "Cards on the table," said Phinuit. "It's the only way to deal with the likes of you." "In other words," Monk interpreted: "you have under your hand proof of our bona fides."
With the utmost docility Benouville effaced himself. "Eh, bien, Monsieur Duchemin!" "Eh, bien, madame la comtesse?" Liane sipped at her champagne, making impudent eyes at Lanyard over the brim of her glass. "By what appears, you have at last torn yourself away from the charming society of the Château de Montalais." "As you see." "That was a long visit you made at the château, my old one?"
He could not remember that Liane had ever before called him by that name. "Do I? Sorry...." His tone was listless. "But does it matter?" "You know that to me nothing else matters." Lanyard checked off on his fingers: "Swain, Collison, Mussey. Who next? Why not I, as well as another?" "Do you imagine for an instant that I class you with such riffraff?"
It was on this night that the Curé made up his mind to volunteer, and soon he was at the Front. Nearly three years passed before he and De Visgnes met again, both en permission, travelling back to Rheims to pass their "perm." Jean was now engaged to Liane de St. Pol who, with her parents, had remained in the bombarded town, refusing to desert their poor protegées.
"I admit it's not half bad at times, but if this battered old headpiece of mine is to be of any further service to us, Liane, you must be careful not to turn it!" Once decided upon a course of action, Liane Delorme demonstrated that she could move with energy and decision uncommon in her kind. Under her masterly supervision, preparations accomplished themselves, as it were, by magic.
Her case was proved beyond all doubt, and even Roger, who had heard the scream of recognition and witnessed the fainting fit, could no longer deny that the Countess de Mattos and Liane Devereux were one.
