I wouldn't like her to see the print of that tiger's claw on my neck." "There's her address the Gainsborough Studios. Drop me at Mouquin's and I'll have the table set in one of the small rooms upstairs. I'll meet you at the door." Jim glanced at the address, put it in his pocket and helped her draw on her heavy coat. "You'll be nice to Jane? I want her to like you.
It was only a lark. . . . I thought of the girl in Mouquin's; how much better it would have been to spend the evening with her, exchanging badinage, and looking into each other's eyes! Pshaw! I covered my face with the grey mask and descended to the street. The trolley ran within two miles of the Hunt Club.
She touched the signet-ring on my little finger. "I have seen that once before to-night. No," she mused, "you will not blow up the post-office to-night, nor the police-station." She lifted the corner of her mask, and I beheld the girl I had met in Mouquin's! "You?" "Silence! So this is the meaning of your shuffling those cards? Oh, it is certainly droll!" She laughed.
At such moments all the life on the Elsinore becomes as unreal as life to the philosopher is unreal. I am a philosopher. Therefore, it is unreal to me. But is it unreal to Messrs. Pike and Mellaire? to the lunatics and idiots? to the rest of the stupid herd for'ard? I cannot help remembering a remark of De Casseres. It was over the wine in Mouquin's.
We want people to read us because we're intelligent enough to know how to please them, not because they're intelligent enough to overcome the difficulties we put in their way. But let's go out to dinner this evening and talk it over." They dined together at Mouquin's every night for a week. At the end of that time Vroom, still sarcastic and grumbling, was a convert.
I always avoid the chance acquaintance, unless, of course, the said chance acquaintance is met under favorable circumstances like the girl in Mouquin's, for instance! After all, it was only an incident; and, but for his picking up that card, I never should have remembered him.
I forgot, temporarily, the beautiful unknown at Mouquin's. I forgot the sardonic-lipped stranger I had met in Friard's. I forgot everything save the little ticket that had accidentally slipped into my package, and which announced that some one had rented a blue domino. And here was a Blue Domino at my side. Just simply dying to have me talk to her! "I am madly in love with you," I began.
At the most, they could only ask me to vacate the premises, should I be so unfortunate as to be discovered. In that event, Teddy Hamilton would come to my assistance. . . . She was really beautiful! And then I awoke to the alarming fact that the girl in Mouquin's was interesting me more than I liked to confess.
"No; I reckon not," Jim laughed. "I've changed our plans for the evening," she announced. "We won't go to ride tonight. I want you to bring my best friend to dinner with us at Mouquin's. Go after her in the car. I want to impress her " "I got you, Kiddo! She's goin' to look me over eh? All right, I'll stop at the store and get a clean collar.
You ought to know that, after the talk we had at Mouquin's the other night. You can't be thinking of leaving us! There's no end of possibilities here." "Sorry," said the dogged soldier of dreams.
