I held out my hand. "At any rate, you've got what I haven't," said I. "A woman who loves you to welcome you home." And I went away, longing, longing for Lola's arms and the deep love in her voice.
And experience had taught her why it is that human nature soon tires of intensity, turns to frivolity. She felt that, if she could act, she would try to show that not Turiddu's fickleness nor his contempt of the woman who had yielded, but Santuzza's sad intensity and Lola's butterfly gayety had cost Santuzza her lover and her lover his life.
She whispered: "No'ty ickle boy Batster! Lola's last night, an' ickle boy Batster fluttin'! Flut all night wif dray bid dirl!" William made no reply. There are occasions, infrequent, of course, when even a bachelor is not flattered by being accused of flirting.
He shrieked and shrank and hid his face in Lola's dress. When he was forced to speak he declared that the dead man was not Captain Vauvenarde. Captain Vauvenarde was at the Cercle Africain. He, himself, was seeking him. He would take the gendarmes there, and they could arrest the Captain for the murder of Sultan of which his papers contained indubitable proofs.
And now again the terrible "Hiss-s-s!" taken up by the other box, and the words repeated loudly and more angrily even than before the historic words which sealed Lola's doom at Her Majesty's Theater: "WHY, IT'S BETTY JAMES!" She was, indeed, Betty James, and London would not accept her as Lola Montez.
And yet, while my head was reeling with one buffet a memory arose and gave me another on the other side. I remembered the preposterous attitude in which Dale had found us when he rushed from Berlin into Lola's drawing-room.
Lola held out her hands in a passion of joy and eagerness. "What does he say? Oh, hurry! Oh, let me have it!" Jane suddenly crushed the letter, and her eyes were stern as she withdrew it resolutely from Lola's reaching fingers. "No, Lola, no!" she said, in a sharp tone. "I can't let you have this letter! I can't! I can't!" Lola's breath was suspended in amazement.
When I had assumed the responsibility of that innocent-looking suit-case I never dreamt that it contained Lady Norah Kendrew's stolen jewels, as it did, otherwise I would certainly never have attempted to pass it through the Customs at Rouen. But why and how, I wondered, had Lola's suspicions been aroused? Why had she warned me?
"Why, marry me," said the artful adviser, who was Captain Thomas James; and so the very next day they fled to Dublin and were speedily married at Meath. Lola's husband was violently in love with her, but, unfortunately, others were no less susceptible to her charms. She was presented at the vice-regal court, and everybody there became her victim.
It seemed impossible to doubt that Jane had indeed worked the wrong of which Señora Vigil accused her although Jane's own word, and no word of the señora's, bore this conviction to Lola's breast.
