Now you bend your lovely head, and I puts it on you oh, ain't you more beautiful than the Queen of Sheba! And ain't you Melky's queen, Mrs. Goldmark say you was!" "Lor', Mr. Rubinstein!" said Mrs. Goldmark, coyly. "It's as if you was proposing to me!" "Why, ain't I?" exclaimed Melky, gathering courage. "Don't you see I'm in all my best clothes? Ain't it nothing but weddings, just now? There's Mr.
He finished his supper, thinking hard all the time he ate and drank; finally he approached the desk to pay his bill. The young woman whom Mrs. Goldmark had left in charge lifted the lid of the desk to get some change and Melky's astonished eyes immediately fell on an object which lay on top of a little pile of papers.
Yada looked round, doubtfully. They had turned two or three corners by that time, and were in a main street, which lay at the back of Praed Street. He glanced at Melky's face which suggested just then nothing but cunning and stratagem. "What can you do for me?" he asked. "How much do you want? You want money, eh?" "Make it a hundred quid, mister," said Melky.
So he promised to return, and then hurried back to his hotel to find Melky Rubinstein pacing up and down outside the entrance. Purdie tapped Melky's shoulder and motioned him to walk along Praed Street. "Look here!" he said. "I want you to take me to see your cousin and the pawnshop. We must have a talk you said your cousin's a good business woman. She's the sort we can discuss business with, eh?"
"Strikes me you ain't up to your job!" remarked Melky, coolly. "He went out, three-quarters of an hour ago. Gone home, I should say." The man turned away, evidently puzzled, but just as evidently taking Melky's word. He went off in the direction of Star Street, while Melky strolled along to the pawnbroker's shop. It was necessary that he should tell his cousin of what he had done. Mrs.
"Where are you taking me?" asked Yada, suspiciously, as they crossed the threshold. "All serene, mister!" answered Melky, reassuringly. "Friend o' mine here my cousin. All right and all secure. You're as safe here as you will be in your grave, mister s'elp me, you are! Zillah!" Zillah walked into the parlour and justified Melky's supreme confidence in her by showing no surprise or embarrassment.
Lauriston was so much struck by Melky's argument and advice that it needed no more explanations to convince him of its wisdom. "But how could I get away'" he asked. "There'll be that detective chap hanging about outside I know I've been shadowed ever since last evening! They'll never let me get away from London, however much I wish.
