After they had waited a few moments in the somewhat dingy surroundings of a house seldom used by its proper owners, Elvira entered in plumed hat and habit, a slender and exquisite little figure, but with a haughty twitch in her slim waist, superb indifference in the air of her little head, and a grasp of her coral- handled whip as if it were a defensive weapon, when Lisette flew up to offer an embrace with
He came to announce dinner. Lisette had not needed any instructions. She knew what was expected of her when a visitor happened to be at the castle at meal-times. Besides, she wanted to show the lady from the manor what she could do. Not since the count's arrival at the Nameless Castle had there been so cheerful a meal as to-day.
It was undoubtedly Schmall who took Lisette Beaurepaire to that hotel in Paddington and poisoned her; it was just as undoubtedly Schmall who took Ebers to the hotel in London Docks and got rid of him. But, I tell you, Merrifield swears that neither he nor Van Koon knew of these things, and did not connive at them." "Did they know of them afterwards?" asked Fullaway. "Ah!" replied the chief.
James Allerdyke, and certainly murdered Lydenberg, Lisette Beaurepaire, and Ebers. Van Koon is an American crook, whose real name is Vankin; Merrifield, as you know, is Mr. Delkin's secretary; the other man is one Otto Schmall, a German chemist, and a most remarkably clever person, who has a shop and a chemical manufactory in Whitechapel.
Miss Ogilvie and her pouting companion were received by a fashionable- nay, extra fashionable looking person, whom Mary and Kate Gould called Cousin Lisette, and the old farmer, Eliza Gould.

A gallant gentleman and a beautiful lady if they are thrown together then there follows either marriage or danger. A marriage is better than a danger." "This time, Lisette, marriage and danger go hand in hand. The count is preparing for the war."

And you, Mr. Henfrey? Where will you go?"
It may seem foolish to you to be so carefully guarded, but I can't quite explain it to you so you would understand it, and therefore I'm going to ask you to obey my wishes without question, and more than that, when Lisette is temporarily in charge of you to obey her." "Indeed I will, dear Mrs. Farrington," said Patty heartily; "and truly I wasn't rebelling the leastest mite.
On the other side of that glass he became aware of a still figure, shrouded and arranged in formal lines, of a white face, set amidst dark hair ... then as in a dream he heard Celia Lennard's frightened whisper "That's she that's Lisette! Oh, for God's sake, take me out!"
And then will you lie down for a while, or come with us down to the west veranda? It is always cool there in the morning." "No, I don't want to lie down. I'll join you girls very shortly. I suppose you have a maid for me, Mona? I shall need one for my exclusive service." "Oh, yes, Auntie; you may have Lisette." "Not if she's French. I can't abide a French maid." "Well, she is, partly.
