Whenever Sylvia saw them, and she saw them daily at the Casino, either Madame Wachner or L'Ami Fritz would ask her in an eager, sympathetic voice, "Have you had news of Madame Wolsky?" And then, when she shook her head sadly, they would express and especially Madame Wachner would express increasing concern and surprise at Anna's extraordinary silence.

Madame Wachner stepped suddenly back, and as she did so L'Ami Fritz moved a step forward. Sylvia looked at him, an agonised appeal in her eyes. He was smiling hideously, a nervous grin zig-zagging across his large, thin-lipped mouth. "You should have taken the coffee," he muttered in English. "It would have saved us all so much trouble!"

Marat, indeed, is constantly claiming the post of temporary dictator. Marat, indeed, is constantly claiming the post of temporary dictator. Cf. "The Revolution," II., 129, on the number of armed emigres. Cf. ibid., 473. According to Marat, "it is useless to measure a degree of the meridian; the Egyptians having already given this measure. "L'Ami du peuple," Nos. 419, 519, 543, 608, 641.

When they reached the front door L'Ami Fritz stooped down, and began looking under the mat. Sylvia smiled in the darkness; there seemed something so primitive, so simple, in keeping the key of one's front door outside under the mat! And yet foolish, prejudiced people spoke of Lacville as a dangerous spot, as the plague pit of Paris. Suddenly the door was opened by the day-servant.

"It was terrible!" said Madame Wachner vehemently. "Terrible!" The hour in the garden sped by very quickly, and Sylvia was rather sorry when it came to be time to start for the Casino. "Look here!" cried Madame Wachner suddenly. "Why should not L'Ami Fritz escort Madame Wolsky to the Casino while you and I take a pretty drive?

Propped up against the now lighted lamp was a letter addressed to Monsieur Polperro in a peculiar, large handwriting. L'Ami Fritz, again uttering that queer guttural exclamation, snatched up the envelope, and hurriedly put it into his breast-pocket. "I brought that letter out of M'sieur's bed-room," observed the day-servant, cringingly. "I feared M'sieur had forgotten it!

Will it do if we are with you about five?" "Yes," said Madame Wachner. And then, to Chester's satisfaction, she turned and went away. "I cannot stay now," she said, "for l'Ami Fritz is waiting for me. 'E does not like to be kept waiting." "What a nice woman!" said Chester heartily, "and how lucky you are, Sylvia, to have made her acquaintance in such a queer place as this.

The last time I took some I lay awake all night." "Oh, but you must take coffee!" Madame Wachner spoke good-humouredly, but with great determination. "The small amount you have in that little cup will not hurt you; and besides it is a special coffee, L'Ami Fritz's own mixture" she laughed heartily. And again?

She looked up surprised, L'Ami Fritz very seldom spoke to her, or for the matter of that to anyone. "You must play to-night, Madame!" he said imperiously. "I have a feeling that to-night you will bring us luck, as you did that first time you played." She looked at him hesitatingly. His words made her remember the friend to whom she so seldom gave a thought nowadays.
