He had looked forward to this evening with Nadine Haer, had planned to lay the foundations for a future campaign, when, as a newly created Upper, he would be in the position to mention marriage. He fumed, inwardly, even as he helped her with her wrap, preparatory to leaving.
Joe said, uncomfortably, "They say the military is a science, too." Her expression was almost as haughty as that of her brother. "Do they? I have never thought so." "Really, Nadine," her father grumbled. "This is hardly your affair." "No?
And as to Major Hawke and this Madame Louison I've the Guv'nor's own orders they are never to see Miss Nadine. That is, Hawke not at all, and the lady only when Miss Delande is present! Them's my solid orders, and the old Guv'nor put my eye out with a ten-pound note the first I ever got from him. No, Captain!
"Joe," Nadine said, "you'll be pleased to meet Philip Holland, Category Government, Rank Secretary. Phil, Major Joseph Mauser." The other, possibly forty, shook hands firmly and looked into Joe's face. He had a crisp manner. "Good heavens, yes," he said. "That remarkable innovation of using an engineless aircraft for reconnaissance.
As Kendal ascended the steps of the palatial home of the Garners, he came face to face with a woman who was standing in the vestibule, just in the act of touching the bell. One glance, and he fairly reeled back. "Nadine Holt!" he cried, aghast, "is it you you?" "We meet again at last!" hissed the girl, confronting him with death-white face.
That and the child the little Nadine. . . . As much as Anton was disliked, so much was his brother Boris beloved of the people. His story you know. Of this I am sure that he lived and died without once regretting the step he had taken in marrying an Englishwoman. They were lovers to the end, those two."
If her lover was fickle, Nadine told herself that she did not care to live and face the dull, cold world, for what is life and the world to a young girl if the lover on whom she has set her heart and her hopes proves false to her? From the moment that Nadine Holt heard the story of the perfidy of her lover she was a changed being.
"Sorry," Joe said to Nadine. "Why?" she said simply. "The fact of the matter is that Balt and I are continually at each other. He is quite the active member of the Nathan Hale society." Joe frowned his ignorance and looked at Holland. Holland chuckled.
"It is not like Johnstone to let Nadine meet all the gay coterie which will fill the great halls," mused Madame Delavigne. "I suppose that the dear child will have a week of 'marble prison' in her rooms, with only the governess. I think I shall let General Abercrornby leave before I call. What do you advise? Johnstone has always ignored the ladies of Delhi!"
The roses on her cheeks were not yet faded by the insidious climate of burning India, and a thrilling earnestness accented the music of her voice. "What can we do, Nadine?" murmured Justine Delande. "Nothing," sighed the motherless girl. "But when this Major Hawke comes, you must, for my sake, find out all you can. Ah! To leave India forever!" she sighed.
