There are two sisters named Mercer, inclined to be noisy they are playing roulette in the next room now. One is small and dark, almost Hebraic in type, named Leila and called Lollie. The other, larger, very blonde and languishing, and with a decided preference for masculine society, even, saving the mark, mine!
"The cone was empty! Where did he get them?" But the magician only smiled, and went on with his other tricks. "Has any one a gold watch?" he asked. Not many of the boys had gold watches, but Lollie Henry exhibited with pride one that his grandfather had given him on his birthday. "May I borrow it?" said the magician; "ah, thank you," and he took it before Lollie had really consented.
Have you any elastic?" Lollie came up just then, and Jim took himself and his mending downstairs. Luckily, Aunt Selina found several letters in his room that afternoon while she was going over his clothes, and as it took Jim some time to explain them, she forgot the task she had given me altogether.
"You'd better not tell me where you're going," warned Maisie, but she didn't stop Lollie in time. "Well, I wish you luck and I'll do my best for you." She stopped and kissed the girl. "There's one warning I want to give you, Miss White," said Lollie as she stood in the doorway. "The colonel is a desperate man and I don't think somehow that he's coming through this with his life.
Nevertheless, she did not hesitate to go downstairs. "Is that Miss White?" asked the girl. "Yes. It is Lollie Marsh, isn't it? Won't you come in?" Lollie was hesitant. "Yes," she said after awhile and they went upstairs together. "I'm very sorry I disturbed you, Miss White, but it is a matter which can't very well wait. You know that Mr. Stafford King has been kind to me?" Maisie nodded.
She might have been more than pretty but for her eyes, which were too light a shade of blue to be beautiful. She was expensively gowned and walked with the easy swing of one whose position was assured. "Good morning, Lollie," said the colonel. "Did you see him again?" She nodded. "I got a pretty good view of him," she said. "Did he see you?" She smiled.
"I've told you to forget everything that has ever happened in our business! And I've told you a hundred times not to mention Pinto or any of the other men in this business! You can do as you're told! And take that look off your face!" He rose with extraordinary agility and leant over, glowering at the girl. "You've been getting a bit too fresh lately, Lollie, and giving yourself airs!
"I hate to bring you here, Lollie, and ask you these questions," the colonel was saying, "but we are all in some danger and we want to know just where we stand with you." She made no reply. "The charge against you is that you've been in communication with the police. Is that true?" "If you mean that I've been in communication with Mr. Stafford King, that's true," she said.
Of course it was Jack o' Judgment. I tell you, the night you were in Yorkshire making a mess of that Crotin business, Jack o' Judgment came here, to this very room, and told me that he would ruin us one by one, and that he would leave me to the last. He mentioned us all you, Crewe, Selby " He stopped suddenly and scratched his chin. "But not Lollie Marsh," he said.
"I don't know, but I've seen magic tricks before and they always bring everything out right somehow!" The day after the party the two girls sat as usual in the big swing talking things over. "I like that boy with the funny name," said Dotty; "the one they call Lollie. Such a silly name for a boy!" "Yes; such a dignified name as Lorillard ought not to have such a silly nickname.
