"Unt t'en," continued Pelletan, persuasively, fancying, no doubt, that he saw some signs of yielding in his partner's face, "eef monsieur remains, he can haf t'e house done ofer to suit heem; he can t'row away t'e furniture he does not like; he can paint out t'e marble columns; he can cause all t'e servants to pe tressed to hees taste. He would make one grand sensation!
Another Sunday school lesson! Miss Coleman and her unforgotten lecture upon beauty flashed upon my mind. But this man was promising me more than she had done, and his every word was measured. What was the mystery? What had he to say to me? "T'e most beautiful voman in t'e vorld," he went on in a slow, cadenced whisper. "Do you vish it?" His glittering eyes held mine again.
Shall I leave the secret? It's life for life, we're even. If beauty were cheap, who'd care for it? It's death to be first, but afterwards nothing! If I burned it but no I promised . Why not? "Delilah!" Your health, dead eyes! I haf put t'e bacillus of perfect vine into t'e new grape juice, and I svear it's Prosit, dead eyes! here's a P.P.C.; quickest goodby Poor Kitty!
"I haf anticipate' monsieur's question; t'is statement will show heem." Rushford took it and glanced at the total. "Hmmmm. Four hundred and eighty francs say a hundred dollars." "T'at, monsieur," explained Pelletan, "iss based upon our present custom. As pusiness increase', so do t'e expense increase." "Of course." "But not in t'e same ratio as t'e receipts.
"T'is rogue," and he pointed to Richard, "'ave betray your plan to 'is sister, who betray it to 'er 'usband, who save t'e Duc de Monmoot'. N'est-ce pas?" "That is so," said Blake, and Ruth scarcely thought it worth while to add that she had heard of the plot not only from her brother, but from Blake as well.
I shall gif it. I do not know if t'e human type is t'e highest t'at eart' is capable of supporting, but it is t'e highest present type, and it shall be my vork to gif it t'at for v'ich it has hungered and t'irsted, and towards v'ich slowly it has groped its vay; it shall be my vork to gif humanity beauty and perfection." The light that illumined his yellow, wrinkled face made me cry out:
If t'is is true, 'ow can t'ey 'ave miss Monmoot'? Send word to Milor' Churchill at once, Wentwort'. Let t'e matter be investigate' at once, Wentwort' at once!" The General was dancing with excitement. Wentworth saluted and turned to leave the room. "If you 'ave tole me true," continued Feversham, turning now to Richard, "you shall 'ave t'e price you ask, and t'e t'anks of t'e King's army.
It is t'e same vit' man and voman; t'ey are animals. T'e ugly man or voman is veak, diseased or inferior. On t'e ot'er hand," I felt what was coming by the sudden oiling of his squeak "t'e goot man or voman, t'e goot human organism, mus' haf beauty. Not so?" Again he rubbed his hands. Helen glanced mischievously at me, as a half-repressed snort interrupted his dissertation.
You vant to be t'e only perfect voman in t'e vorld, and so you shall be, for some time. T'at is right. T'at is your revard." My cheeks flushed at his injustice. I do care for others. I am not selfish not more than everybody. And yet at that moment I feared him and his knowledge; I shuddered at nameless terrors. Really, I often wonder that I ever had the courage to try. And oh, I am so glad!
The Professor leaned forward and, fixing me with his eye, spoke in a hoarse whisper, tense with excitement: "Mees Veenship, I am a biologist; you are a voman, creature of Nature, yearning for perfection after your kind. I I can gife it you. You can trust me; I am ready. I can gif you your vish, t'e vish of efery normal voman. Science t'at is I can make you t'e most beautiful being in t'e vorld!"
