"I've put the case truthfully, haven't I? Now, do you copy out that letter and address it; meanwhile I'll go round to Voisin's and order breakfast. Try to have it finished by the time I get back. We'll post it on our way." She promised that she would do so, but instead sat a long while with the letter in her hands. It was so unlike herself that she could not bring herself to send it.
J. would have invested had he had the few francs. Not having them, he persuaded the Publisher to, and to buy three of the best into the bargain, and never did his own empty pockets stand in the way of a more profitable investment, for had he bought not all but only a few in this wilderness of Van Goghs, and had he sold them again as he would never have done, we might now, if we chose, dine every night at the LaPérouse or Voisin's and prepare for the reckoning without a tremor.
There was just a second of embarrassed silence, and then Miss Jenrys came forward and greeted her guests, with precisely the same courteous welcome extended to us each and all. But she only referred to her exclamatory first words in reply to Monsieur Voisin's question: 'You greeted us with some rather startling words, Miss Jenrys.
I had persuaded Lossing to remain out of sight, and had myself viewed Voisin's departure from afar, and when I reported the fact Lossing exclaimed, 'Masters, this must end! That man must not be permitted to visit Miss Jenrys after this! 'Rest easy, I answered him.
"What a luxurious picture you draw, Captain Trevalyon," said Vaura gayly, "and what an epicure! you dwell with such pleasure upon each dish, your livers, your " "Pardonnez," answered Trevalyon, laughing; "not mine, the turtle's" and continuing with mock gravity, "I never expect mine to be dressed at Voisin's." "Horrible! a too warm anticipation of torment," cried Vaura.
"'His own brother, Sheik Otham, has charged me in his name to make this offer. "Clémentine, dumb with amazement, did not reply. "'I, Empress! she finally stammered. "'The decision rests with you. They must have your answer before midday. If it is 'yes, we lunch together at Voisin's, and the bargain is made.
Lossing and Voisin seemed to be eagerly watching something perilously near the choking smoke and falling timbers, I thought, and I shouted a warning to them just as a group of firemen crossed my path. Almost at the instant a voice it sounded like Voisin's cried: 'Look! there's a man! In the hubbub of sounds the cry was not heard beyond me.
It was a tremendous triumph for J. when he paid the biggest of all, which he did, not so much because he set out to deliberately as because, by the choice of chance, he had invited us to Voisin's in the Rue St.
As the days went on I found that Monsieur Voisin's attentions were growing more marked, and his visits on the avenue almost constant.
The headwaiter at Voisin's told me this: "Mr. Barnes, of New York, ordered a dinner, carte blanche, for twelve. "'Now, says he, 'garcon, have everything bang up, and here's seventy-five francs for a starter. "The dinner was bang up. Everybody hilarious. Mr. Barnes immensely pleased. When he came to pay his bill, which was a corker, he made no objection.
