"They considered," said Putney, who had completed the affair on the part of Suzette, and was afterwards talking it over with his crony, Dr. Morrell, in something of the bitterness of defeat, "that their first duty was to care for the interests of their stockholders, who seemed to turn out all widows and orphans, as nearly as I could understand.
Terrapin addressed her as Suzette, and stated that his friend Ralph was a stranger and quite solitary; whereat Suzette turned upon him a pair of soft, twinkling eyes, and laughed very much as a peach might do, if it were possible for a peach to laugh.
"But you understand, I suppose, don't you, that in order to make the division, the whole place must be sold?" Suzette looked at him in surprise. Adeline wailed out, "The whole place sold?" "Yes; how else could you arrive at the exact value?" "I will keep the house and the grounds, and Suzette may have the farm." Putney shook his head. "I don't believe it could be done. Perhaps "
I've no doubt but if we could have him among us again, in the attractive garb of the State's-prison inmates, I should be hand and glove with brother Northwick." Adeline's reasons for going to Putney in their trouble had to avail with Suzette against the prejudice they had always felt towards him.
I became stern, then, as I had earlier become with Suzette, and made Coralie understand that I would have no interference from anyone. I frightened her and presently she left me more attracted than she has ever been . As I said before, women are amazing creatures.
At the same time he put the finishing touch to his picture, and when hung upon his wall, between their photographs, Suzette danced before it, and took half the credit upon herself. Foolish Suzette! she did not know how that old man was her most dangerous rival. He had done what no beautiful woman in France could do weakened her grasp upon Ralph Flare's heart.
They were all silent in view of the necessity that stared them in the face. Then Adeline roused herself from the false dream of safety in which her words had lulled her. She wailed out, "He's got to go! Oh, Suzette, let him go! He's got to go to prison if he stays!" "It's prison there" said Northwick. "Let me stay!" "No, no! I can't let you stay! Oh, how hard I am to make you go!
If this history of Ralph Flare that we are writing was not a fiction, we might make Suzette give way at once under the burden of her grief, and rest upon a chair, and weep. On the contrary, she did just the opposite. She laughed. Human nature is consistent only in its inconsistencies.
"Still you've got to pay." Magda returned home with those words ringing in her ears. They fitted into the thoughts which had been obsessing her with a curious precision. It was true, then. You had to pay, one way or another. Lady Arabella knew it. Little Suzette had somehow found it out. That night a note left Friars' Holm addressed to the Mother Superior of the Sisters of Penitence.
People came running up the street and out of the courtyards. An ambulance glided swiftly through the crowd. A little girl whose name was Suzette was picked up from the edge of the kerbstone out of a pool of blood. Her face lay sideways on the policeman's shoulder, as white as a sculptured angel on a tombstone.
