You see, I don't mind telling you this, but it is just as well, if you will forgive my mentioning it, Miss Van Teyl, that these things are not spoken of to any one. My business over here is supposed to be secret. I am going round some of the factories from which we are drawing supplies." She drew a long breath and began to feel a little more like herself.
"I guess one of them is going to slip down to the next table before long," Van Teyl observed, with a little movement of his head. They all three turned around and looked at the wonderful bank of pink roses within a few feet of them. "One of the opera women, I daresay," the young man continued. "They are rather fond of this place." Pamela leaned forward.
I see you've brought your kit along." "In case you decided to engage me, sir," the man replied. "Oh, you are engaged right enough," Van Teyl assured him. "You'd better make the best job you can of putting out my evening clothes. If you ring for the floor valet, he'll help you. The bedrooms are through that door." "Very good, sir!"
Van Teyl demanded. "Pamela and I are good pals, of course, but she has a will of her own in all she does, and I don't fancy that anything I could say would influence her very much." "There are two things about your sister," Fischer continued. "The first is that she's got to quit this secret service business she's got herself mixed up in." "Don't talk nonsense!" Van Teyl exclaimed.
If it's a girl, I shall give you my blessing." Van Teyl groaned and said nothing. A foreboding of impending trouble depressed Pamela. She turned towards Fischer and found in his grim face confirmation of her fears. "What does this mean?" she demanded. "Your brother will explain," Fischer replied. "It is better that he should tell you everything." "Everything?" she repeated. "What is there to tell.
"Please go and see," Fischer begged earnestly. "The telephones are just outside. Tell your sister that I particularly wish her to accept my invitation. Tell her that there will be news." Van Teyl went out to the telephone. Fischer sipped his champagne and crumbled up his bread, his eyes fixed a little dreamily on the grey river. He was already conscious of the glow of the wine in his veins.
The usual little crowd was waiting in the lobby of a fashionable London restaurant a few minutes before the popular luncheon hour. Pamela Van Teyl, a very beautiful American girl, dressed in the extreme of fashion, which she seemed somehow to justify, directed the attention of her companions to the notice affixed to the wall facing them.
"You are Miss Van Teyl, and you wish to speak to your brother. The moment Mr. Van Teyl returns I will ring you up or fetch you." He replaced the receiver upon its hook, and returned to the bedroom. For some little time he was initiated into the mysteries of his new master's studs, boots and shoes, and general taste in wearing apparel.
His eyes were innocent even of any question. Fischer's forehead was wrinkled, and his brows drawn close together. "I am Nikasti," the other acknowledged "Kato Nikasti. Mr. Van Teyl has just engaged me as his valet." "You can take off the gloves," Fischer told him. "I am Oscar Fischer." "Oscar Fischer," Nikasti repeated. "Yes! ... Burning something when I came in weren't you?
The lust for killing was upon him. Fischer sat up and blinked. He felt the atmosphere of the room, and he knew his danger. His hand stole into his hip pocket, and a small revolver suddenly flashed upon his knees. He drew a long breath of relief. He was like a fugitive who had found sanctuary. "So that's the game, James Van Teyl, is it?" he exclaimed. "Now listen."
