I suppose you think that because she always looked such a tragedy. However, she is very ill, out of danger now, but of course not able to ride she was in the Hippodrome, you know and apparently she has no money, so one must do something for them. Poleski has barely enough for two, especially under these circumstances." "I am sorry," Pauline said gently.
It seems rather hopeless for this man and myself to continue arguing in different languages, so if you would not mind " When they were both in the fiacre she did not speak, but leaned back, her hands in her lap, her feet crossed, looking straight in front of her with hazel-green eyes, expressionless as those of the Sphinx. Count Poleski congratulated himself in silence over his discovery.
The eyes of the former travelled first of all to the bed and then to the heap of vegetation. "Qu 'est-ce que c'est que ca?" he demanded. "She is better, eh?" "No, she's worse," answered Michael. He seized upon the leaves and began to bundle them into the steaming basin. "We shouldn't have been gone so long. What's this did ye say, Poleski? Well, 'tis the only thing I can do for her.
The doctor?" "No, it was Emile." Vardri nodded towards the communicating door of the bedroom. "Poleski is here then?" "No, and he doesn't know I'm here. He has gone to Sária and will not be back till late. I was horribly irritable this morning, so he thinks I'm all right now." A ripple of amusement broke her voice as their eyes met.
Surely there were better rooms to be found in Barcelona for forty pesetas a week! Either lodgings must be very dear or else Emile Poleski had meant to take a large commission for his trouble in finding them! She was stiff and tired after the long journey and want of proper food, and every trifle took upon itself huge dimensions.
Some of the others were "Sapho" and "Becky Sharp," which latter Emile had also adopted as being particularly appropriate. "Oh, very well," he answered. "Shall it be the messages or a bullet? You can take your choice. Perhaps you would prefer the latter. It makes no difference to me. This comes of employing women. When Poleski brought you here first I was opposed to having you.
The crude blue of her dress, the tags and ends of tinselled braid set his teeth on edge. In his "Count Poleski" days he had known the quiet and exquisite taste of the mondaines of Vienna and St. Petersburg, and like most men he preferred dark clothes in the street. Later on he proposed to himself the pleasure of supervising her wardrobe, except her boots, which met with his fullest approbation.
Whether the spy is one who was formerly one of us, we do not know yet. It appears that it is Poleski who is the suspect. They have some evidence against him that is dangerous. If he is seen coming in here to-night, they will arrest him. The next time we will change the place, but for the present all that can be done is to warn him against coming here.
Then let it be a warning in the future you will be suspected and watched. There is no need for me to dilate upon the punishment for treachery, all that you knew when you joined us. You may consider yourself lucky to have escaped so easily to-night. Through the few minutes' delay you have caused, Poleski may have been arrested." Vardri shrugged and sat down.
"Mais, où suis je?" she murmured, painfully dragging out the words. Then followed Emile's name. The doctor laid her back gently, and stood holding one of her wrists. "She thinks it's you, Poleski! 'Tis diphtheria. A bad case, too. Shall want some looking afther. Who's seeing to her?" "I am," responded Emile, coolly. "The divil ye are!" The Irishman's long upper lip twitched humorously.
