There was no other solution this Count Sykypri had been her lover when she was a mere child, and probably the concealment had gone through all her first married life. And no doubt her reason for marrying him, which she admitted was a very strong one, had been that she might have money to give to the child and its father. The sickening sickening, squalid tragedy of it all!
But should the boy Mirko return at any time to the man Sykypri, his father, or should she, Zara, from the moneys settled upon herself give sums to this man Sykypri the transaction between herself and her uncle regarding the boy's fortune would be null and void. This was the document's sense. Zara read it over but the legal terms were difficult for her.
"Follow that taxi!" he said to the driver, "that green one in front of you I will give you a sovereign if you never lose sight of it." So the chase began! He must see where she would go! "Mimo!" the "Count Sykypri" she had telegraphed to and she had the effrontery to talk to her lover, in her uncle's house!
He knew she was coming up; she would get it there on her return, so she scribbled a line to Count Sykypri, and told him she had been and why and that she must hear at once, and then she left and hurried back to her uncle's house. And when she got there it was twenty minutes to eight.

Chérisette." And ere his rage burst in a terrible oath he noticed that stamps were enclosed. Then he threw the paper with violence into the fire!
"Yes, he told us of it, as an inexpensive resting place, until our affairs prospered, and we came straight there and wrote to you at once." "I was greatly surprised to receive the letter. Have you any money at all now, Mimo?" "Indeed, yes!" And Count Sykypri proudly drew forth eight bits of French gold from his pocket. "We had two hundred francs when we arrived.
