If the advice of Dane, the chauffeur, were taken, they would be motoring to Clermont-Ferrand; and why not say to Bertie: "No cheque unless you get us an invitation to visit the Roquemartines while you are there?" That château near Clermont-Ferrand would prove a lodestar, and help Mr. Jack Dane to lure the Turnours through chill gorges and over snowy mountains.
What bad luck that the Roquemartines had selected that particular duchess for this particular house party, when they must know plenty, and could just as well have chosen another specimen! "I have heard her name," I admitted, primly. And so I had, too often. "A friend of mine was was with her, once." "As her maid?" "Not exactly." "Another sort of servant, I suppose?"
You're only saying that, so that I won't think you're sacrificing yourself for me. Do you know anything about the Roquemartines?" "A little." "Good gracious, I hope you've never met them?" "I believe I lunched here with them once three years ago, with a motoring friend of theirs."
The word "château," in France, covers a multitude of comfortable, unpretentious family mansions, as I had not to find out now, for the first time; and the dwelling of the Roquemartines, though a fine old house of the seventeenth century, is no more imposing, under its high, slate roof, than many another.
