She handed it to me without a word . The letter ended: "Adieu Nicholas! tu es, Toujours Mon Adoré Ta Suzette." but the way it was folded only showed "Toujours Mon Adoré Ta Suzette" and this much Alathea had certainly seen . I felt as if there was some evil imp laughing in the room There was nothing to be said or done.
Mère Marianne, who once was a village belle, is now thirty-three years of age, strong as a man, fair-haired, hatless, bronzed by the sun, salt-tanned, blue-eyed, a good mother to seven fair-haired, blue-eyed children; yet a hard, amiable drinker in her leisure hours after a good catch. "Bonjour, my all beautiful!" she greets Suzette as the door opens.
Suzette flung the paper down, and came back to the other two. "I felt," said Wade, "that it was extremely improbable " "But where," Adeline put in faintly, "could he have been if he wasn't at the Mills?" "Anywhere in the world except Wellwater Junction," returned Suzette, scornfully. "He may have stopped over at Springfield, or " "Yes," Adeline admitted, "that's what Elbridge thought."
And the thrice-happy Suzette is dreaming of her own wedding to come, for it is long past midnight and I am alone with my wise old cat "The Essence of Selfishness," and my good and faithful spaniel whom I call "Mr. Bear," for he looks like a young cinnamon, all save his ears. If poor de Savignac were alive he would hardly recognize the little spaniel puppy he gave me, he has grown so.
The old man was so fond of the animal that he was determined even death should not separate them, and he had caused her to be stuffed and placed near his bed. As Suzette took puss down, she uttered an exclamation of surprise at finding her so heavy. The lover hastened to open the animal, when out fell a shower of gold.
Suddenly I stopped, for my ear caught the sound of a tail gently patting the straw in the cavernous old stable beyond my spaniel's kennel. I looked in and saw a pair of eyes gleaming like opals in the gloom. Then the tawny body of Mirza, the mother, rose from the straw and came slowly and apologetically toward me with her head lowered. "Suzette!" I called, "how did she get here?"
I sighed unconsciously . "Are you in some mess, my son?" George asked concernedly. "In your case with Suzette, money can always smooth things she has perhaps been annoying?" "I have entirely finished with Suzette George, how a man pays for all his follies Have you, with all your affairs, ever got off scot free?"
"Bien entendu, mon général!" agreed his aide-de-camp tersely as he leaned forward and kindled a fresh cigarette over the candle-shade. Happily I noticed at that moment that the cigarette-box needed replenishing. It was an excuse at least to leave the room. A moment later I had tiptoed to the closed kitchen door and stood listening. Suzette was laughing.
He gave me every assurance he would be silent as the grave and then he changed the topic to that of Suzette He was sorry I had given her her congé, because I would find it hard to replace her Those so honest and really not too rapacious, were very difficult to find Since he had heard that Suzette was no longer my little friend, he had been looking out for me, but as yet had seen nothing suitable!!
Few women play cards honestly, and Suzette was the first to go out; but seeing that Ralph floundered and lost continually, she gave him her attention, looking over his hand, and talking for him, and counting with so dexterous deceit that he escaped also, while Terrapin paid for the wine. It was not the most reputable amusement in the world; but the hours were winged, and midnight came untimely.
