"Did you say Stephano's, or what do you think of one of these places closer at hand? I was told of a little restaurant in Soho the other day, where the cooking is remarkable." "I'm all for Stephano's," Mr. Moss declared, grinning; "and the sooner the better. One of the neatest pieces of business I ever did in my life I brought off there in the old bar.
When at last he reached the table Mr. Bundercombe did not beat about the bush. "Louis," he said, "we have been to Stephano's tonight for the first time for some weeks. I came along here to see you because of what Luigi told me. Now you can just take this from me: You've got to tell me the truth. There's something wrong with you! What is it?" Louis extended his hands. He was making his one effort.
They sent for his man, and, on Stephano's arm, the old gentleman withdrew. He returned for a moment, however, and spoke again. "You will do exactly as I wish and allow no human being to enter the Grey Room. Keep the key in your pocket, Sir Walter; and do not go there yourself either. It is still a trap of death for everybody else in the world but myself."
I may even choose to give our friend Mr. Cullen a leg up." I was relieved to hear it and told him so. "I presume," I said, "that Mademoiselle Blanche, of Bond Street, is identical with the young lady who talked to us at Stephano's the other night?" "Say, you're becoming perfectly wonderful at the art of deduction!" my future father-in-law declared. "Same person!"
This thing had affected her like some physical shock. The crowds and noises of the street bewildered her. If only she could get away from them and think quietly And then she heard her name spoken, and looked round, to see Eddy. 'Glad you could come, he said. 'I've something I want to talk to you about. It'll be quiet at Stephano's. She noticed, almost unconsciously, that he seemed nervous.
"I only suggested the other places because I thought Miss Parker might like a change." We drove to Stephano's. It struck me that Luigi's greeting was scarcely so cordial as usual. He piloted us, however, to the table usually occupied by Mr. Parker. On the way he took the opportunity of drawing me a little apart. "Mr. Walmsley, sir," he said, "can you tell me anything about Mr.
I am not going to ask you what he did with the notes he had whether he palmed them off on you or not but I will simply say that between the time of his entering Stephano's and the time of my searching him he got rid of a thousand pounds' worth of counterfeit notes." "Sounds very clever of him!" I remarked.
"No pardon is necessary," said the physician; "because you did not offend me. One word more and I must take my leave. Crimes are multiplying thickly in Florence, and Stephano's band becomes each day more and more daring; so that it is unsafe to walk alone in the city after dusk. Beware how you stir unattended, my dear Francisco, at unseasonable hours."
He had shown no disposition to seek her company. But now he seemed always to be on hand. To take her out to lunch appeared to be his chief hobby. One afternoon Joe commented on it, with that air of suppressing an indulgent smile which Mary found so trying. 'I saw you and Eddy at Stephano's just now, he said, between sentences of a letter which he was dictating.
"Another advertisement, I suppose." "Can we drop you anywhere, Paul?" my sister inquired. "Or would you like to give us some supper?" I had been staring out of the window. There was not a sign anywhere of Eve or her father; nor had I been able to catch a glimpse of Mr. Cullen. "I am sorry," I replied; "but I am supping with some friends at Stephano's. Could you set me down there?"
