"There is Tarzan-jad-guru," he said, and Jar-don understood. The Masquerader
Let the ostrich with his head in the sand still imagine himself unseen; the masquerader still conceive himself secure beneath his paper travesty; the serpent still coil apparently unrecognized beside the bare, gray stone that reveals him to the eye I was too cowardly, too feeble, to cope with strategy and double-dyed duplicity like this!
O fool! dolt! blind ass! tottering idiot! drunken masquerader! miserable Jack Knave, performing suicide with that blessed coxcomb air of curling a lock! Clotilde! Clotilde! Where has one read the story of a man who had the jewel of jewels in his hand, and flung in into the deeps, thinking that he flung a pebble? Fish, fool, fish! and fish till Doomsday!
In the silence that followed, the noise of the turning of locks and the drawing of bolts was distinctly audible in the study. "Damn you!" cried Stanhope, pale with the sudden white-hot passion of the unstable. "This is your doing you you masquerader!" The two men stood facing each other, hardly a yard apart. They were almost exactly of a figure, Stanhope being if anything a shade the taller.
It killed him: the run here the shock of seeing me. He must have had a heart like rotten quartz!" Paulette, Collins, Baker, all of us, stood there blankly.

They rummaged Curtis's portmanteaux and steamer trunks, and came upon evidence in plenty to prove that he was no mere masquerader in another man's name. But that was all.
It was at this moment that Raoul passed in front of the funereal masquerader, who had just happened to turn in his direction. And he nearly exclaimed: "The death's head of Perros-Guirec!"
"They are back in their old apartments, sir," replied the chamberlain. "What, not imprisoned?" "No, Sire; they are carefully watched, but they are still your Majesty's guests." "Absurd!" cried the King fiercely. "This man can be no ambassador. He is a marauder, a masquerader, who came to my court to act the common thief." "But the letter, Sire, of which he was the bearer?"
"A very superior villager," the Princess remarked, "if you mean Mr. Andrew." Forrest looked up, and fixed his cold intent eyes upon his host. "I suppose," he said, "you are sure that this man Andrew is really what he professes to be, and not a masquerader?" "I have known him," Cecil answered, "since I was old enough to remember anybody.
