If she were such a fool Poleski should have taught her better before bringing her on board. They agreed that he had sense enough in other things, and had certainly trained her not to be a nuisance. After déjeuner Emile had hunted up the least doubtful of the French novels they possessed and sent her up on deck to get the benefit of the sea air of which she was supposed to stand in need.
If some of us dream dreams we have also to face actions and realities." Perhaps the episode of Marie Roumanoff belonged to the days before he joined the Brotherhood and became an exile from his country. She knew that once upon a time he had owned land and estates in Russia, and Emile the Anarchist of Barcelona had been known as Count Poleski.
As the dresser took off her habit, she asked the woman whether Monsieur Poleski had been behind the scenes during her turn, and was there a note or message? It appeared that there had been no sign of Emile, and she hesitated for a moment, hardly knowing what to do. The order for her presence in the Calle de Pescadores, which of course had been sent by Sobrenski, had told her to come at once.
You wear your badge, but do you never read the words on it? Poleski used to tell me great things of your enthusiasm, your devotion. Now I am putting you to the test. You like to act a picturesque part, it seems, to wear boy's clothes, to sing, to be the only woman among us, to act the heroine. We do not want acting here. This is Life, not the stage.
Poleski has certainly failed to educate her as regards taste in clothes. You saw how she was dressed when she came on board !" Half an hour later the anchor was up, and they were cutting through the white-crested waves. The girl pointed to a green headland on the left that rose suddenly and overhung the water like a sentinel on guard.
He motioned Vardri towards a chair. "Well, since you have refused to entertain my plan, we must think of something else. I'm at present writing a series of articles on 'Militarism in France, and should like to have them translated for publication in an English journal. You speak the language well, better even than Poleski, for you have a better accent.
They have just settled to draw lots to-morrow night. I wonder who will have the 'honour' of becoming executioner? I suppose they can't do it to-night because Poleski isn't here." Arithelli shook her head. "That is not the reason. They have given Emile other work to do in Russia. He is leaving here very soon. I thought you knew." "Who told you that Poleski is going away? It may not be true."
He wondered whether she would faint or scream or perhaps refuse, but probably she would be easier to manage now that Poleski was safely out of the way. He had schemed that business well too, and could now spare all his attention for Vardri and the girl.
Count Emile Poleski was obliged to be at the Barcelona Station at five o'clock in the afternoon one hot Friday in May.
We shall have to talk them over later on." "When you like. Vladimir, do you remember the girl Monsieur Poleski brought on board once for a few days. I never knew her real name. She always looked so ill and miserable. Do you remember?" "It is about this very girl that he has written." Pauline looked up quickly. "She is dead?" "No! No!
