But Lord, what fools we are! And, Julien, we get worse. It's the old people who keep these places going." "The older we get," Julien replied, "the harder we have to struggle for our joys." Kendricks wheeled suddenly in his place. "Tell me how long you have known Herr Freudenberg?" he insisted. "How many times have you been seen with him?
To do as you ask, it will be necessary that I I, Paul Jesen, so well-known, whose opinions are followed by millions of my country people it would be necessary for me to abandon my convictions, to turn a right-about-face. Ask yourself, is it not like selling one's honor when one writes the things one does not believe?" Herr Freudenberg smiled.
"You know where to find him, I suppose?" "I know the hotel at which he is staying." "Make it your business to find him," Herr Freudenberg ordered. "Bring him with you, if before one o'clock to the Abbaye Theleme; if afterwards, to the Rat Mort." Estermen looked stolidly puzzled. "Am I to mention the subject of the toys of Herr Freudenberg's manufacture?"
If you do not know who I am, why have you mentioned Herr Freudenberg's name to me?" "Madame," Julien answered, "because the man who brought me the message from Herr Freudenberg, the man who conducted me to him, the man concerning whom you told me that strange, pathetic little story he let fall one word. I asked him no question. I wished for no information except from you. Yet I am only human.
An affair of jealousy a moment of madness. One takes account of these things. Then Herr Freudenberg himself has great friends here, friends in high places. He will see that nothing happens." "A very pretty scheme," Julien remarked sarcastically. "Supposing, however, I turn the tables upon you, mademoiselle. You are here and I have taken away this little plaything.
"It would please me," Herr Freudenberg continued, still speaking almost under his breath, "to converse with the companion of Mademoiselle Soupelles. From you, dear Marguerite, I conceal nothing. I made no appointment with you to-night because it was my intention to speak with that person, and I could not tell where he would be. All has happened fortunately.
Herr Freudenberg turned deliberately on one side where the little flower girl was still lingering. "Mademoiselle," he said, "something tells me that it is you whom we have to thank for this adorable creation. It is indeed a work of supreme art. If mademoiselle would permit!"
Somehow or other, his old dreams, his old faith in himself had returned for a moment. And then the bitterness all swept in upon him. "I think, Herr Freudenberg," he said, "that you are talking a little in the skies. At any rate, it makes no difference. Those things have passed." "Those things have passed," Herr Freudenberg assented. "There is no future for you in England.
"Do you imagine that you can continue to use the methods of other generations with impunity? The thing is absurd. There are too many who know already the secret of Herr Freudenberg, maker of toys! There are too many who will know, also, before long, the secret of the explosion in the Rue de Montpelier!" Falkenberg nodded gravely. "I understand," he admitted.
She was a born flirt a matter of nationality as well as temperament, and not to be escaped and her eyes flashed the correct reply. But a moment later she was gazing wistfully at the door. "You expect Herr Freudenberg?" Julien inquired. "I cannot tell," she replied. "I must not say that I am expecting him because he did not ask me to meet him here.
