Rushmore considered fortunate in the extreme, and in a short time she had learned the news, but with no mention of Logotheti's name. Six months earlier Margaret would have rejoiced at her good fortune.
He almost choked with anger as he reflected that if matters went on at this rate, Margaret would soon be going to Logotheti's house without even the nominal protection afforded by little Madame De Rosa. He rode back by the way he had taken outward and passed the Greek's house. The motor car was not there, which was a relief, on the whole.
'Not in the least, laughed Madame De Rosa, 'though I am sure that Cordova is quite able to take care of herself and is much too proud to owe you anything. She often called Margaret by her stage name, as artists do among themselves, but it jarred disagreeably on Logotheti's ear. 'You are right in that, he said, rather coldly, as a footman appeared and opened the outer door.
Incidentally, Lushington meant to do his utmost to prevent Margaret from going on the stage, and he would have been much surprised to learn that in this respect he was Logotheti's ally, instead of his enemy, against Margaret's fixed determination.
'I cannot believe it, she gasped. Logotheti's hand went to his inner breast pocket. 'Should you like to see the telegrams? he asked quietly. 'Here they are. My agent's cable to me, my instructions to him, his acknowledgment, his cable saying that the affair is closed and the money paid. They are all here. Pray look at them. Mrs.
When Margaret was alone she realised that she was more disturbed by Lushington's unexpected appearance at Logotheti's door than she had thought it possible to be. At the time, she had been surprised to see him and a little hurt by his manner, but she had attributed the latter to his natural shyness.
He had felt that his mother's son had no right to marry Margaret Donne, though she had told him as plainly as a modest girl could that she was not of the same opinion. Then had come Logotheti's mad attempt to carry her off out of the theatre, after the dress rehearsal before her debut, and Madame Bonanni and Lushington between them had spirited her away just in time.
For some minutes the chauffeur kept his eyes on the road ahead and both hands on the steering-gear. Then one hand moved, the speed of the car slackened suddenly, and the man turned and spoke over the back of his seat. 'I hope you'll forgive me, he said in English. Margaret started and sat up straight, for the voice was Logotheti's.
Some one has heard her sing and has offered her more! You shall tell me who it is! He gripped Logotheti's arm with fingers that felt like talons. 'Tell me quickly! he cried. 'I will offer her more, more than anybody can! Tell me quickly. 'Take care, you are spoiling my cuff, said Logotheti. 'I know nothing about it, beyond that piece of gossip. Of course you are aware that she is a lady.
Logotheti's almond-shaped eyes watched her quietly, and he stood motionless till she was established on her chair. Then he seated himself at a little distance. 'I hope I was not rude, he said, in artful apology, 'but it's not often that one's breath is taken away by what one sees. Horrid weather all day, wasn't it? Have you been out at all? 'No. I've been moping.
