Now she hardly ever listened, and yawned in his face when he spoke of Poland and his high aims. But he must make allowances for her she was such a child of impulse, so lovely, so fascinating! And here in Paris, admired as she was, how could he wonder at her distraction! "Stanislass! my old Stannie," she cooed in his ear, "what am I to wear to-night for the Montivacchini ball?
I'll go and fetch it now." "Very well. I will get rid of Stanislass for the evening and we can have some hours alone and you will see if I don't help you to worry them hideously, Ferdie, even if that is all we can do!" And when he had left her presence, she paced the room excitedly. "It will prevent Stepan's marrying her at all events for; a long time."
We have secured a suite at the Universal this time, now that the Rhin is shut up, and it is such a large hotel, you can quite well stay there; Stanislass won't notice you among the crowd." Ferdinand agreed unwillingly and just then Verisschenzko came in. He had not seen Madame Boleski since the night at the Carlton, having taken care not to let her know of his further visits to England since.
If only the tiresome bothers of these stupid old quarrelsome countries did not upset matters, she just meant to make Stanislass shut up his ugly old Polish home, and settle in some splendid country house like this, only nearer London. Now that she had seen what life was in England, she knew that this was her goal. No bothersome old other language to be learned!
When she had left them Stanislass Boleski turned melancholy eyes to his old friend, but remained silent. "Has it been worth it?" Verisschenzko asked, with certain feeling they had relapsed into Russian. Stanislass sighed deeply. "No far from it I am broken and finished, Stepan, she has devoured my soul " "Why don't you kill her! I should."
She was a grave danger to the Allies and had betrayed them again and again. He must have no mercy. Her last crimes had been against France, her punishment would be easier to manage there. The strain of cruelty in his nature came uppermost as he reviewed the evil which she had done. Stanislass' haunted face seemed to look at him out of the mist of the half-lit carriage.
"My angel," she told him as they went along the passage, "that she-devil will kill thee one day, unless happily I can place thee in safety first. But if she does, then I will murder for myself! What has caused her fury tonight, some one has spoilt her game." In the oak-panelled smoking room, deserted by all but these two, Verisschenzko spoke to Stanislass, hastily, and in his own tongue.
The first husband has gone back to Germany from Sweden, but we shall secure him, too, presently. Meanwhile I shall hand Harietta to the French authorities her last exploits are against France. She has enabled the Germans to shoot six or seven brave fellows, besides giving information of the most important kind wormed from foolish elderly adorers and above all from Stanislass himself."
She withholds herself, and I would pay with the blood from my veins to possess her again!" "You have no longer any delusions about her you see her as a curse and a vampire?" Stanislass reddened. "I see everything, but I know only desire. Stepan, she has dragged me through every degradation. I am a witness of her unfaithfulness.
She did not wear gloves, and on her beautifully manicured hands she wore no rings except a magnificent ruby on the left little finger. It was her caprice to refuse an alliance. "Wedding rings!" she had said to Stanislass. "Bosh! they spoil the look. Sometimes it is chic to have a good jewel on one finger, sometimes on another, but to be tied down to that band of homely gold! Never!"
