"Well, suppose I were to help you," said Carrie, after a time. "You, Carrie; how could you?" "But suppose I were to I am not the sort of person who does anything for nothing. What would you give me if I got you out of this?" "But how could you get me out of it?" "Why, I suppose by giving Kitty the money." "Carrie, you talk nonsense. Unless, indeed, you were to persuade Sam Raynes "
The next morning I made an excuse to go down to the ship with my brother, and there, by dint of pressure, I got those stained and dingy papers into my possession again. I had only that day before me, for we were going to a hotel the same evening, and the Raynes were to set out next day for their summer place among the hills, a long way back of Bombay. Our stay had already delayed their departure.
In a box to the left of the dress-circle sat, "laughing all hyaenally", the following distinguished visitors: Mr Mulholland of No. 7 College Buildings. Mr Raynes of No. 4 ditto, and Mr Kay.

This was the time when a letter addressed by me to Paris for M. Zola appeared to have gone astray, and when we were therefore rather apprehensive of some action on the part of the French authorities.

Perceiving that she had hurt his feelings, she said: "How old are you now? I thought you were younger than you look." "I am forty-five"; and then he added: "I forgot to ask after Princesse de Raynes. Are you still intimate with her?"
He turned and went away like a man who is fully master of himself, and waited till it was day before taking away the baroness; but he had no longer any thoughts of sleeping. As soon as they were alone he said: "Madame, I saw you just now in Princesse de Raynes' room; I need say no more, and I am not fond either of reproaches, acts of violence, or of ridicule.
Why shouldn't I lend it to Sam Raynes?" "Lend it?" "Well, well, it's all the same; I asked him to keep it for me." "I'll go to him at once and get it," said Elma, preparing to run down the steps. Carrie caught her by the arm. "I'm awfully sorry," she said, "but it's no use, he he says we cannot have it for a week, perhaps a fortnight. He is doing a little deal with it, as he expresses it.

In a few moments, when we get to the station, you will see the Princesse de Raynes and Comtesse Henriot waiting for me with their husbands. I wished them to see as, and to know that we had spent the night together in the railway carriage. Don't be alarmed; they will tell it everywhere as a most surprising fact.
Perceiving that she had hurt his feelings, she said: "How old are you now? I thought you were younger than you look." He grew rather pale. "I am forty-five;" and then he added: "I forgot to ask after Princess de Raynes. Are you still intimate with her?" She looked at him as if she hated him: "Yes, I certainly am. She is very well, thank you."
Josephine de Maistre had gone back to the peace and comfort of her seclusion, after the critical interview, and no one of Mr. Raynes household had betrayed the secret.
