Where my heart is, there, you see, my kingdom is also." "Ah! my dear, my dear," Katherine said, touched, yet somewhat weary. "And after all it is not wholly for our own sakes we make this fight to keep you." Miss St. Quentin's voice sank. She spoke slowly and as though with reluctance. "We do it for the sake of the person you love best in the world.
Just then a pale-faced, sickly-looking waiter came up from behind and hoarsely whispered in Quentin's ear: "Get out, quick! The big prince made a mistake. He was to have quarrelled with you, Monsieur." He was gone before he could be questioned. "See!" exclaimed Dickey. "It was a job, after all, and the dago is at the bottom of it!" "Sh!
For a second the young lady at Quentin's side exhibited surprise; a faint flush swept into her cheek, and then, with a rare smile, she extended her hand to the American. "Of course, I remember him. Phil and I were playmates in the old days. Dear me, it seems a century ago," she said. "I cannot tell you how well the century has treated you," he said, gallantly. "It has not been so kind to me."
The morning newspapers carried the story of Quentin's adventure to the Garrison home, and Dorothy's face, almost haggard as the result of a sleepless night, grew whiter still, and her tired eyes filled with dread.
His answer carried the shock of an evocation. "I merely asked her what she thought of you." "Of me?" "She admires you immensely, you know." For a moment Mrs. Quentin's cheek showed the lingering light of girlhood: praise transmitted by her son acquired something of the transmitter's merit. "Well ?" she smiled. "Well you didn't make my father give up the Radiator, did you?"
"Miss Quentin's is rather a special case. To begin with, she has engaged a private sitting-room, and in addition to that she was recommended to come here by Signor Baroni himself." The good word of a teacher of such standing as Baroni was a matter of the first importance to a lady offering a home from home to musical students, though possibly had Mrs.
The low-voiced, intense stranger, young and evidently beautiful, told her that Quentin's injuries were not inflicted by thieves, but by the hired agents of one who had cause to fear him.
She loved Ugo Ravorelli, and, until he appeared suddenly before her in London, Philip Quentin was dead to her thoughts. And yet she felt as if she were playing with a fire that would leave its scar not on her heart or Quentin's, perhaps, but on that of the man she was to marry.
Last March I made my way here, disguised, to tell you of the king's coming change of faith and of St. Quentin's certain defection. I demanded then my price, my marriage with mademoiselle. But you put me off again. You sent me back to Mantes to kill you St. Quentin." "Aye. And you have been about it these four months, and you have not killed him." Lucas reddened with ire.
"If you can't manage her, who can? Mr. March?" Clara shook her head. Then reluctantly, for though honestly ready to lay down her life for her mistress, she found it far from easy to invite supersession in respect of her, she said: "Miss St. Quentin's more likely to get round my lady than any one else." "Well, then, I'll talk to her. Where is Miss St. Quentin?" "Here, Dr. Knott. Do you want me?"
