There after he visited the resort of Fitzgerald and Moy's in Adams Street, opposite the imposing Federal Building. There he leaned over the splendid bar and swallowed a glass of plain whiskey and purchased a couple of cigars, one of which he lighted. This to him represented in part high life a fair sample of what the whole must be. Drouet was not a drinker in excess. He was not a moneyed man.
"'I am indeed fortunate, said Quong Lee, ignoring Ah Moy's concluding remark, 'tremendously lucky, in fact, for I think I have in my laboratory just what you desire. Yes, I am sure of it. I will get it without further delay. He took down a lighted lantern from the wall, and lifting a trap door at the end of the room, plunged into the darkness.
As a consequence, she recalled, with rising feeling, how often he had refused to go to places with her, to share in little visits, or, indeed, take part in any of the social amenities which furnished the diversion of her existence. He had been seen at the theatre with people whom he called Moy's friends; now he was seen driving, and, most likely, would have an excuse for that.
"Ah Moy's place bore an unsavory reputation even among the saffron-hued residents of Four-and-a-half Street, but its bland proprietor was regarded by the authorities as a particularly inoffensive and law-abiding specimen his high standing at Bethany proving a very strong card.
I have a copy of the marriage certificate here if you wish to look at it." Mr. Moy's modesty declined to look at it. "Quite needless, Sir Patrick! I admit that a marriage ceremony took place on the date named, between the persons named; but I contend that it was not a valid marriage. Sir Patrick presented Anne. "This is the lady, Mr. Moy." Mr. Moy bowed, and made a suggestion.
Indeed, it had been but a half consent on the part of either, elicited only by the dire alternative of exposure; the envelope and letter were destroyed, and Vivian carried off the cheque to some of the Jews with whom he had had only too many transactions, and they never met him again. Moy's part all along had been half cowardice, half ambition.
I would leave you to proclaim the whole to the world; if it were not for my poor wife and her father, I would be glad to do so. Heaven knows how this has hung upon me for years." "I can well believe it," said Julius, not to be hindered now from grasping Mr. Moy's hand. It seemed to be a comfort now to tell the whole story in detail.
"We have had enough of irregularity," she said sternly. "I, for one, object to more." Sir Patrick waited patiently for Mr. Moy's reply. The Scotch lawyer and the English lawyer looked at each other and understood each other. Mr. Moy answered for both. "We don't presume to restrain you, Sir Patrick, by other limits than those which, as a gentleman, you impose on yourself.
I tell you, man, I am in a hurry! "Now, Quong Lee, while wholly in Ah Moy's power, and quite well aware of it, exacted from all of his countrymen a certain amount of deference, and was loath that his visitor should prove an exception to this gratifying rule.
They are friends of Moy's, visiting here." Owing to the peculiar nature of his position, such a disclosure as this would ordinarily create no difficulty. His wife took it for granted that his situation called for certain social movements in which she might not be included. But of late he had pleaded office duty on several occasions when his wife asked for his company to any evening entertainment.
