It is good running across you I thought you were miles away!" Verisschenzko spoke to the head waiter, and gave him directions as to the disposal of the lovely lady who would presently arrive, and then he went on to his table, rather at the top, in a fairly secluded corner.
Her world lay in ruins, he seemed the one and only good. She grovelled on the floor and kissed his feet. "Master, Master! Keep me near you I will be your slave " But Verisschenzko pushed her gently aside with his foot and going to a table near took up a cigarette. He lighted it serenely, glancing indifferently at the dishevelled heap of a woman still crouching on the floor.
She had not been able to have a word with Stepan, who had been far from her at the banquet before the ball. She was torn with jealousy of Amaryllis; and the advent of Hans, when she would have wished to have been free to re-grab Verisschenzko, was most unfortunate. It had not been altogether pleasant, his turning up at Bridgeborough, but at any rate that one evening was quite enough!
But who is that walking with Amaryllis at the other side of the lake?" John Ardayre looked up, and on over the water to the glory of the beech trees on the rising slope of the park, and there saw moving at the edge of them his wife and Verisschenzko, accompanied by two of the great tawny dogs.
But every one is tired and restless and nobody cares for anything real I am afraid I am not strong enough to stand aside from it though, and I wonder sometimes what I shall become." Verisschenzko looked at her earnestly he was silent for some seconds. "Fate may alter the atmosphere. There are things hovering, I fear, of which you do not dream, little protected English bride.
John's letter lay on the top, and Verisschenzko caught the look of interest which came into Denzil's face. "Don't mind me, my dear chap," he remarked, "read your letters." And they went on into the sitting-room. "I want just to look at this one it is from John Ardayre whom we met to-night," and Denzil opened it casually "I wonder what he is writing to me about, he did not say anything at dinner."
When she had left them Stanislass Boleski turned melancholy eyes to his old friend, but remained silent. "Has it been worth it?" Verisschenzko asked, with certain feeling they had relapsed into Russian. Stanislass sighed deeply. "No far from it I am broken and finished, Stepan, she has devoured my soul " "Why don't you kill her! I should."
"That is Harietta Boleski," Verisschenzko remarked, his mood changing, and that penetrating and yet inscrutable expression growing in his regard. "It is almost too far away to be certain, but I am sure that it is she. Am I right? Is that window in her room?" "Yes how wonderful of you to be able to recognise her at that distance!" "Of what is she thinking? if one can call her planning thoughts!
When Stanislass had returned from the Club, whither she had despatched him for the evening, so that she might be free to dine with Verisschenzko, he found that she had already been taken away. The shock, when he discovered that nothing could be done, had nearly killed him he now lay dangerously ill in a Maison de Sante, happily unconscious of events.
"And Ferdinand is the next direct heir-in-law that makes one sick " Verisschenzko poured his friend out a whisky and soda and said smiling: "Then let us drink once more to the Ardayre son!" Lady de la Paule really felt proud of her niece; the party at Ardayre was progressing so perfectly.
