It is for you good for the colour in your cheeks; now they will bloom again!" and Barbi stroked her own well-coloured cheeks. Dominique, sunning himself outside with a cloth across his arm, bowed as she passed, and smiled affectionately: "He is better this morning, M'mselle. We march we are getting on. Good news will put the heart into you." Christian thought: 'How sweet every one is to-day!
Christian found her things packed, and the two servants waiting. In a few minutes they were driving to the station. She made Dominique take the seat opposite. "Well?" she asked him. Dominique's eyebrows twitched, he smiled deprecatingly. "M'mselle, Mr. Treffry told me to hold my tongue." "But you can tell me, Dominique; Barbi can't understand."
Sit down there and write to him; tell him to put himself entirely in my hands." He turned his back on her, and went into his bedroom. Christian rose, and sat down at the writing-table. A whisper startled her. It came from Dominique, who was holding out a pair of boots. "M'mselle Chris, what is this? to run about all night?" But Christian did not answer. "M'mselle Chris, are you ill?"
"To you, then, M'mselle," said Dominique, as one who accepts his fate; "to you, then, who will doubtless forget all that I shall tell you my master is not well; he has terrible pain here; he has a cough; he is not well at all; not well at all." A feeling of dismay seized on the girl. "We were a caravan for all that night," Dominique resumed.
Dominique's features were fixed in a sardonic grin; he rubbed the palm of one hand with the finger of the other. "Mr. Treffry made me give him whisky afterwards, and he had no money to pay the bill that I know because I paid it. Well, M'mselle, to-day he would be dressed and very slowly we came as far as Auer; there he could do no more, so went to bed. He is not well at all."
