In a small way he had long made a study of Lionel Varick, and it amused him to see Varick in a new rôle that of a prosperous country gentleman. Suddenly Bubbles found an ally in a most unexpected quarter. Helen Brabazon called out: "I've always longed to attend a séance! I did once go to a fortune-teller, and it was thrilling ." Bubbles stepped down off her footstool.
His mind worked quickly, as minds are apt to work when faced with that sort of problem, and he decided that on the whole he might as well let Varick do as he wished. "You'd better not say very much to her. Just say you hope she's feeling all right by now or something of that sort."
She gave a deep, deep sigh as she sat down again. Then she turned herself and the chair round till she was exactly facing Varick. In a voice which had suddenly become much more her own voice she addressed him, speaking slowly, earnestly: "I see a lady standing behind you. She is very stern-looking. She has a pale, worn face, and dark blue eyes. They are very like your eyes.
"I don't think there's very much to know," she answered uneasily. "His father had a place in Yorkshire, and got involved in some foolish, wild speculations. In the end the man went bankrupt, everything was sold up, and they were very poor for a while horribly poor, I believe. Then the elder Varick died, and his widow and Lionel went and lived at Bedford.
"What's that?" cried Sir John, astonished, and Sir George Covert cried: "Brava! Bravissima! There speaks the Ormond through the Varick!" Walter Butler leaned forward, staring at me. "You refuse to meet me if I use our Mohawks?" And Dorothy, her voice trembling a little, picked up the word from his grinning teeth.
But he had had time to imbue his boy with an intense pride in the past glories of the Varick family.
Even what she sometimes playfully called her petit vice had not made her haggard or worn, and she had never lost interest in becoming, well-made clothes. Blanche Farrow thought she knew everything there was to know about Lionel Varick, and, as a matter of fact, she did know a great deal no one else knew, though not quite as much as she believed.
She thinks him an accomplice, but of course we regard that as nonsense, for we've found out all about the man, and he is coming to see our toxological expert to-morrow." "And now, Blanche, comes the curious part of the story! The doctor who had attended the first Mrs. Varick years and years ago had suspected foul play.
Varick began staring into the fire again, and Blanche felt intolerably nervous and uncomfortable. "I think, Lionel, that I must speak to Bubbles very seriously!" she said at last. "I haven't a doubt now that she really has got some uncanny power a power of stirring the imagination of making those about her think they see visions."
The Individual declined to purchase and departed, meeting at the door the curly Doctor, who once again offered his medical services in case the stranger ever got into “trouble,” and who once again assured that person with an air of mystery that “me and my wife is all right—yes, you may depend, we is all right, we is.” MADAME MAR, AND MADAME DE GORE, No. 176 VARICK STREET.
