'Oh, I know you of old, said Meddlechip, walking up and down excitedly; 'I know you of old, with your sneers and your coolness, but it won't do here, stopping opposite the sofa, and glaring down at Vandeloup; 'it won't do here! 'So you've said twice, replied M. Vandeloup, with a yawn. 'How do you want me to conduct myself? Do tell me; I am always open to improvement.
'Clever! said Polglaze, and put the cheque in his safe. Vandeloup strolled along the street thinking. 'Bebe is out of my way, he thought, with a smile; 'I have a small fortune in my pocket, and, he continued, thoughtfully, 'Madame Midas is in Melbourne. I think now, said M. Vandeloup, with another smile, 'that I have conquered the blind goddess.
Vandeloup had not the least idea what the puddlers were, but desirous of learning, he followed his guide, who led him into another gallery, which formed a kind of loop, and joined again with the main drive. As Gaston stumbled along, he felt a touch on his shoulder, and on turning, saw it was Pierre, who had been put to work with the other men, and was acting as one of the runners.
'Hardly, observed a cool voice behind them; 'Miss Marchurst dances this with me you see, Mrs Riller, as that lady turned and saw Vandeloup, 'she has not your capability at playing wallflower, with a significant glance at Bellthorp.
'I need hardly remind you, said Vandeloup, in a pleasant voice, 'that when we landed in Australia I told you that there was war between ourselves and society, and that, at any cost, we must try to make money; so far, we have only been able to earn an honest livelihood a way of getting rich which you must admit is remarkably slow.
The man who poisoned Adele Blondet was sent to New Caledonia, escaped from there, and came to Australia, and prepared this poison at Ballarat; and why I called here tonight was to know the reason M. Octave Braulard, better known as Gaston Vandeloup, poisoned Selina Sprotts in mistake for Madame Midas.
'Kitty Marchurst, replied Madame, pausing a moment at the door of the office; 'she is the daughter of the Rev. Mark Marchurst, a minister at Ballarat. I think you will like her, M. Vandeloup, she went on, in a conversational tone; 'she is a charming girl only seventeen, and extremely pretty.
Vandeloup had told Kitty that no one was to know of their love for one another, and though Kitty was dying to tell Madame about it, yet she kept silent at his request, and acted so indifferently towards him when under Mrs Villiers' eye, that any doubts that lady had about the fascinations of her clerk soon vanished.
Slivers scrawled this down in the series of black scratches, which did duty with him for writing. 'Where do you come from? was his next question. 'The story, said M. Vandeloup, with suavity, 'is too long to repeat at present; but we came to-day from Melbourne. 'What kind of work can you do? asked Slivers, sharply. 'Anything that turns up, retorted the Frenchman.
Dressed in a rough white dress trimmed with pale blue ribbons, and her golden head surmounted by a sailor hat, with a scarf of the same azure hue tied around it, Kitty looked really charming, and Vandeloup could hardly restrain himself from taking her up in his arms and kissing her, so delightfully fresh and piquant she appeared.
