We have secured a suite at the Universal this time, now that the Rhin is shut up, and it is such a large hotel, you can quite well stay there; Stanislass won't notice you among the crowd." Ferdinand agreed unwillingly and just then Verisschenzko came in. He had not seen Madame Boleski since the night at the Carlton, having taken care not to let her know of his further visits to England since.
Dressing was a serious business to Harietta, but she meant to cut it down to half an hour to-night, because there was a certain apartment in the Rue Cambon which she intended to visit for a few minutes. "What an original street to have an apartment in!" people always said to Verisschenzko. "Nothing but business houses and model hotels for travellers!"
Oh! that was glorious when passion need be under no restraint when there need be no good-night! For in this the chivalry of Denzil never failed and each day they grew to respect each other more. Verisschenzko was to arrive in time for dinner on the last day of the old year.
He was up in London upon equipment business on the very Saturday that John got leave, and he was due to dine at the Carlton with Verisschenzko who had that day arrived on vital matters bent. As they came into the hall, a man stopped to talk to the Russian, and Denzil's eyes wandered over the unnumerous and depressed looking company collected waiting for their parties to arrive.
Have you come to England to see that bit of bread and butter or ?" But Verisschenzko, with a fierce savagery which she adored, crushed her in his arms. On the Tuesday morning after the Carlton dinner, fate fell upon Denzil and Amaryllis in the way the jade does at times, swooping down upon them suddenly and then like a whirlwind altering the very current of their destiny.
"She looked a little bored, but afterwards they danced several times together." "Ah!" and that was all Verisschenzko said, but his thoughts ran: "An infantry officer not a large enough capture for Harietta to waste time on in a public place when she is here to advance herself. She danced with him because she was obliged to. I must ascertain who this man is." Amaryllis saw that he was preoccupied.
"Amaryllis?" and Denzil almost started from a reverie. "Oh, yes, of course, she is a lovely creature, is not she, Stepan?" Verisschenzko narrowed his eyes. "I have told you that I adore her but with the spirit if it were not so, she would appeal very strongly to the flesh Yes? Did you not feel it?" "I did." "Well?" "Well "
"That is your cousin, Amaryllis Ardayre come along!" And in a second Denzil found himself being introduced to her, and being greeted by her with interested cordiality, as befitted their cousinly relationship. But Verisschenzko, whose eyes missed nothing, remarked that under his sunburn, Denzil had grown suddenly very pale. Amaryllis was enchanted to see her friend, the Russian.
Thus the advent of Verisschenzko, who thrilled her always, and a possible new admirer in Denzil, seemed a heaven-sent occurrence. Amaryllis and John were undesired but unavoidable appendages who had to be swallowed. Denzil's type particularly attracted her.
Her eyes swam with passion, as she leaned over the table whispering words of the most violent love in his ears. Verisschenzko remained absolutely unstirred. "How silly you were to send that postcard to Lady Ardayre," he remarked contemplatively in the middle of one of her burning sentences. "It was not worthy of your usual methods a child could see that it was a forgery.
