"That dress cost some money, I'll bet," said the Gunner, cheaply attired as a Pierrot. "Just look at the gold lace. I say, he's got glass buttons." "Glass be hanged, Fergie, they're diamonds. Real diamonds, honour bright, Murat wore diamonds. He was buckin' about them in the Club to-night," said a captain in a British infantry regiment quartered in Poona.
On the day the first light snow fell she clapped her hands and cried to Pierrot: "By midwinter I will have him the finest dog in the pack, mon pere!" This was the time for Pierrot to say what was in his mind. He smiled. Diantre would not that beast the factor fall into the very devil of a rage when he found how he had been cheated! And yet He tried to make his voice quiet and commonplace.
"It's a very easy name to remember: Shakespeare, William Shakespeare." To Cecilia Fisher "The King said that nobody had ever danced as I danced to-night," said Columbine. "He said it was more than dancing, it was magic." "It is true," said Harlequin, "you never danced like that before." But Pierrot paid no heed to their remarks, and stared vacantly at the sky.
All these arrangements being made, I determined to disguise myself as Pierrot. There's no disguise more perfect; for, besides concealing the features and the shape of the body, it does not even let the colour of the skin remain recognizable. My readers may remember what happened to me in this disguise ten years before.
Pierrot recognized him, and with an audible breath of relief waved his hand. It was DeBar, who trapped in the Barren Country north of Lac Bain. Pierrot knew him well. They had exchanged fox poison. They were friends, and there was pleasure in the grip of their hands. DeBar stared then at Nepeese.
He turned, still holding her in his arms. In the open door stood Pierrot. During that terrible interval which followed an eternity of time passed slowly through the little cabin on the Gray Loon that eternity which lies somewhere between life and death and which is sometimes meted out to a human life in seconds instead of years.
This morning the lucky gondoliers divided thirty philippes which they found in the gondola, and they have been fortunate enough to pick up their 'felce'. Pierrot will remember Muran and the ball at Briati. The man says that he is the son of M. de Bragadin, the procurator's brother.
His work did not frighten him. Even in that tragic moment as he stood against the wall, his defense if it ever came to a defense framed itself in his mind. Pierrot had murderously assaulted him without cause. In self-defense he had killed him. Was he not the Factor of Lac Bain? Would not the company and the law believe his word before that of this girl? His brain leaped with the old exultation.
I put away the cheque, and after shaking him by the hand, I got up and rolled away in true Pierrot fashion, and after making the tour of the ball-room I went to a box on the third tier of which I had given the key to the young officer, and there I found my beggars. We took off our masks and congratulated each other on our success, and told our adventures.
Meantime Pierrot, or rather Madame Strahlberg, had leaped over an imaginary barrier and came dancing toward the company, shaking her large sleeves and settling her little snake-like head in her large quilled collar, dragging after her the Hungarian, who seemed not very willing.
