—
so
if
you
don
’
t
feel
up
to
going
out
,
I
’
ll
tell
Nicole
and
we
’
ll
have
a
very
quiet
last
evening
.
"
The
precautions
were
needless
for
the
situation
of
the
parties
outside
the
door
was
so
harassed
as
to
preclude
any
but
the
most
fleeting
judgments
on
matters
not
pertinent
to
themselves
.
Standing
there
was
Abe
,
aged
by
several
months
in
the
last
twenty
-
four
hours
,
and
a
very
frightened
,
concerned
colored
man
whom
Abe
introduced
as
Mr
.
Peterson
of
Stockholm
.
"
He
’
s
in
a
terrible
situation
and
it
’
s
my
fault
,
"
said
Abe
.
"
We
need
some
good
advice
.
"
"
Come
in
our
rooms
,
"
said
Dick
.
Abe
insisted
that
Rosemary
come
too
and
they
crossed
the
hall
to
the
Divers
’
suite
.
Jules
Peterson
,
a
small
,
respectable
Negro
,
on
the
suave
model
that
heels
the
Republican
party
in
the
border
States
,
followed
.
It
appeared
that
the
latter
had
been
a
legal
witness
to
the
early
morning
dispute
in
Montparnasse
;
he
had
accompanied
Abe
to
the
police
station
and
supported
his
assertion
that
a
thousand
franc
note
had
been
seized
out
of
his
hand
by
a
Negro
,
whose
identification
was
one
of
the
points
of
the
case
.
Abe
and
Jules
Peterson
,
accompanied
by
an
agent
of
police
,
returned
to
the
bistro
and
too
hastily
identified
as
the
criminal
a
Negro
,
who
,
so
it
was
established
after
an
hour
,
had
only
entered
the
place
after
Abe
left
.
The
police
had
further
complicated
the
situation
by
arresting
the
prominent
Negro
restaurateur
,
Freeman
,
who
had
only
drifted
through
the
alcoholic
fog
at
a
very
early
stage
and
then
vanished
.
The
true
culprit
,
whose
case
,
as
reported
by
his
friends
,
was
that
he
had
merely
commandeered
a
fifty
-
franc
note
to
pay
for
drinks
that
Abe
had
ordered
,
had
only
recently
and
in
a
somewhat
sinister
rôle
,
reappeared
upon
the
scene
.
In
brief
,
Abe
had
succeeded
in
the
space
of
an
hour
in
entangling
himself
with
the
personal
lives
,
consciences
,
and
emotions
of
one
Afro
-
European
and
three
Afro
-
Americans
inhabiting
the
French
Latin
quarter
.
The
disentanglement
was
not
even
faintly
in
sight
and
the
day
had
passed
in
an
atmosphere
of
unfamiliar
Negro
faces
bobbing
up
in
unexpected
places
and
around
unexpected
corners
,
and
insistent
Negro
voices
on
the
phone
.
In
person
,
Abe
had
succeeded
in
evading
all
of
them
,
save
Jules
Peterson
.
Peterson
was
rather
in
the
position
of
the
friendly
Indian
who
had
helped
a
white
.
The
Negroes
who
suffered
from
the
betrayal
were
not
so
much
after
Abe
as
after
Peterson
,
and
Peterson
was
very
much
after
what
protection
he
might
get
from
Abe
.
Up
in
Stockholm
Peterson
had
failed
as
a
small
manufacturer
of
shoe
polish
and
now
possessed
only
his
formula
and
sufficient
trade
tools
to
fill
a
small
box
;
however
,
his
new
protector
had
promised
in
the
early
hours
to
set
him
up
in
business
in
Versailles
.
Abe
’
s
former
chauffeur
was
a
shoemaker
there
and
Abe
had
handed
Peterson
two
hundred
francs
on
account
.
