Another slight shrug of incomprehension of absolution from such practices and Titine moved to the linen cabinet and took out some fluffy things of lace and ribbon, then to a closet from which she brought a soft room-gown, a pair of silk stockings and some very small suede slippers.
"Old skinflint!" said the danseuse, who was crying, "will you let your own nephew be dishonored, the son of the man to whom you owe your fortune? for his name is Oscar Husson. Save him, or Titine will deny you forever!" "But how did he come here?" asked Cardot. "Don't you see that the reason he forgot to go for those papers was because he was drunk and overslept himself.
"Old monster!" cried Florentine, "haven't you a key that lets you in at all hours? My ball lasted till five in the morning, and you have the cruelty to come and wake me up at eleven!" "Half-past eleven, Titine," observed Cardot, humbly. "I came out early to order a dinner fit for an archbishop at Chevet's. Just see how the carpets are stained! What sort of people did you have here?"
He must bring her back. He must take her away from Japan forever. Harrington was crossing the hall of the hotel muttering to himself, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, when he felt a hand laid on his arm. It was Titine, Asako's French maid. "Monsieur le capitaine" she said, "madame est partie. It is not my fault, monsieur le capitaine. I say to madame, do not go, wait for monsieur.
To the quiet Titine her mistress created an impression of bringing not only herself into the room, but also the violent horse and the whole of the out-of-doors besides. "Down, Domino! Down, I say!" to the clamorous puppy. "Now out with you!" And as he refused to obey she waved her crop threateningly and at a propitious moment banged the door upon his impertinent snub-nose.
At last she got up suddenly, went down into the library and found the paper booklet of the Chemins de Fer de l'tat. In this there was a map of Normandy and Brittany and after a long search she found the name she was looking for Passy south from Evreux on the road to Dreux this was the town from which Hermia's telegram to Titine had been sent.
This morning very early Tanaka came back with Mademoiselle Smith and mademoiselle la cousine. They all talk a long time with madame in bedroom. But they send me away. Then madame call me. She cry and cry. 'Titine, she say, 'I go away. Monsieur do not love me now. I go to the Japanese house. Pack all my things, Titine. I say, 'No, madame, never. I never go to that house of devils.
"No don't come near me; I'm not even in complete negligée yet, but I will be in one minute when Titine fastens me up and makes the most of my scanty locks " She looked out at him with a laugh and gave her head a little jerk forward, and her splendid chestnut hair came tumbling down in the sunshine. "You're prettier than ever," said her nephew; "they'll take us for bride and groom as usual.
This morning Georgette had received a note from Titine who was in Paris where she had been left by her mistress to do some shopping and to await Hermia's return. Titine had expressed bewilderment at the disappearance of her mistress, who had left Paris in her new machine with the avowed intention of reaching Trouville by night.
The return of her maid from Paris added something to the sum of her information. Miss Challoner had left her hotel at ten in the morning in her new machine with an intention of making a record to Trouville. Titine was to follow her there when the shopping should be finished.
