I propose for subject Me not posed; me as I am in the Rest. Is it not that it is then that I am the most pretty, the most chic?" "It certainly is," said he. "And you propose that I should paint you as you appear in the Rest?" "Perfectly," she interrupted. "Tender rose colour it goes to a marvel with my Cleo de Merode hair.
In all likelihood the document hidden in the closet was due to a premonition of impending evil a haunting dread of the danger that was creeping upon the unfortunate woman. The statement was in the form of a letter, addressed to Jack Vernon on the first page, and signed "Diane Merode" on the last.
You will, as you ought, espouse Mademoiselle de Mérode, who is, I am told, a very superior and amiable person; and as to Adéline, she will console herself. A girl with her advantages will always be able to marry sufficiently well, though not into the family of a millionaire. But my present business with you, Monsieur Eugène de Véron, relates to a different and much more important matter.
"Need you ask? I know all, Victor Nevill! I know that you are a liar and a traitor that you are everything wicked and vile, infamous and cowardly! Heaven has revealed the truth! I know that Diane Merode was never Jack's wife! It was you, his trusted friend, who stole her from him in Paris six years ago!
The Philosophus per ignem, Toparcha in Merode, Royenborch, as he is styled in certain of his writings, is not an easy man to tackle. I show the title-page of the "Ortus Medicinae," the collection of his works by his son. As with the pages of Paracelsus, there are many gems to be dug out.
"I shall be glad to help you to do anything in my power to clear your friend. I believe that he is innocent. Your sad story has awakened old memories, Mr. Drexell. And it is a great shock to me, as you will understand when I tell you all. I seldom read the London papers, and it comes as a blow and a surprise to me that Diane Merode has been murdered."
He shan't follow you I'll kill him if he tries!" "You idiot!" began Merode, and made a lurch toward her. But the pistol barked, and something white-hot zigzagged along his arm and bit like a flame into his shoulder. "Up with your hands up with them!" she said in a voice that shook with excitement as he howled out and made a reeling backward step.
In the centre of this plaza is a pillar with, at its base, a bust of Leopold, and on the top of the pillar a plaster-of-Paris lady, nude, and, not unlike the Bacchante of MacMonnies. Not so much from the likeness as from history, I deduced that the lady must be Cléo de Mérode. But whether the monument is erected to her or to Leopold, or to both of them, I do not know.
"Let me have him whilst I may let me hold him to the last, Monsieur Merode. His mother trusts me. She will want to know that I I stood by him until I could stand no longer. Please! we are so helpless I am so fond of him, and he is such a very little boy. Listen! You want me to write to Mr. Cleek; you want me to ask something of him. I won't do it for myself no, not if you kill me for refusing.
No doubt there were many individuals in the confederacy for whom it was reserved to render honorable service in the national cause. The names of Louis Nassau, Mamix of St. Aldegonde, Bernard de Merode, were to be written in golden letters in their country's rolls; but at this moment they were impatient, inconsiderate, out of the control of Orange.
