I am so happy!" "And I, too, Mazi!" and the man drew the girl to him, a strange light shining in his eyes. They sat down just outside the little cottage, where the gleam from the lamp would not reflect on them too strongly, and talked of many things. Of old things that are ever new, and of new things that are destined to be old.
"No, I didn't expect you would," said Colonel Ashley, with a smile. "But are you well enough acquainted with him to have a talk with his sweetheart?" "You mean Mazi?" "Yes." "Well, I s'pose I might get a talk with her. But what's the idea?" "Nothing special, only I'd like to see if she tells you the same story she told me. Have a try at it when you get a chance."
Who is she?" and she pointed to the huddled figure on the sand. "I'll tell you who she is," said Colonel Ashley. "She is the legal wife of Jean Carnot, alias Jean Forette, and " A scream from Mazi stopped him. "Tell me it isn't true, Jean! Tell me it isn't true!" begged the girl. Jean Carnot did not speak. "He knows it is true," said the colonel.
I'll take care of her. You put the bracelets on him. And see that they're good and tight. We don't want him slipping out and getting married again. He doesn't have much regard for bonds of any sort, matrimonial or legal." And then he lifted poor, little Mazi up and carried her into the cottage, while Morocco Kate got slowly to her feet and sat down on the bench in the darkest shadows, sobbing.
Seeing nothing, she went back and sat beside a table, on which gleamed a lamp. By the light of it a woman was knitting, her needles flying in and out of the wool. The girl took up some sewing, but laid it down again and again, to go to the door and peer out. "He is not coming yet, Mazi?" asked the woman in French. "No, mamma, but he will. He said he would. Oh, I am so happy with him!
That's the best way to do, or undo, a man that I know of. Find out if he has a girl. That'll be your trick." "All right that and golf. I'm ready." And Jack Young worked to such good advantage that three days later he had a pretty complete report ready for his chief. "Jean Forette has a girl," said Jack; "and she's a little beauty, too. Mazi Rochette is her name.
"The records show," went on the inexorable voice of Colonel Ashley, "that next Jean Carnot, as he called himself then, became infatuated with a pretty girl and this time I'll say she was just about as pretty as you, Mazi and her name was Annie Tighe. She was an Irish girl, and she insisted on being married by a priest, so there wasn't any faking there. Jean was properly married at least."
