Extreme
fatigue
was
signified
in
every
line
of
her
figure
;
and
upon
her
countenance
a
deep
perplexity
was
written
.
Her
eyes
were
gray-irised
,
and
of
that
mould
that
seems
to
have
belonged
to
the
orbs
of
all
the
famous
queens
of
hearts
.
Their
whites
were
singularly
clear
and
brilliant
,
concealed
above
the
irises
by
heavy
horizontal
lids
,
and
showing
a
snowy
line
below
them
.
Such
eyes
denote
great
nobility
,
vigour
,
and
,
if
you
can
conceive
of
it
,
a
most
generous
selfishness
.
She
looked
up
when
the
American
entered
with
an
expression
of
surprised
inquiry
,
but
without
alarm
.
Goodwin
took
off
his
hat
and
seated
himself
,
with
his
characteristic
deliberate
ease
,
upon
a
corner
of
the
table
.
He
held
a
lighted
cigar
between
his
fingers
.
He
took
this
familiar
course
because
he
was
sure
that
preliminaries
would
be
wasted
upon
Miss
Guilbert
.
He
knew
her
history
,
and
the
small
part
that
the
conventions
had
played
in
it
.
"
Good
evening
,
"
he
said
.
"
Now
,
madame
,
let
us
come
to
business
at
once
.
You
will
observe
that
I
mention
no
names
,
but
I
know
who
is
in
the
next
room
,
and
what
he
carries
in
that
valise
.
That
is
the
point
which
brings
me
here
.
I
have
come
to
dictate
terms
of
surrender
.
"
The
lady
neither
moved
nor
replied
,
but
steadily
regarded
the
cigar
in
Goodwin
's
hand
.
"
We
,
"
continued
the
dictator
,
thoughtfully
regarding
the
neat
buckskin
shoe
on
his
gently
swinging
foot
--
"
I
speak
for
a
considerable
majority
of
the
people
--
demand
the
return
of
the
stolen
funds
belonging
to
them
.
Our
terms
go
very
little
further
than
that
.
They
are
very
simple
.
As
an
accredited
spokesman
,
I
promise
that
our
interference
will
cease
if
they
are
accepted
.
Give
up
the
money
,
and
you
and
your
companion
will
be
permitted
to
proceed
wherever
you
will
.
In
fact
,
assistance
will
be
given
you
in
the
matter
of
securing
a
passage
by
any
outgoing
vessel
you
may
choose
.
It
is
on
my
personal
responsibility
that
I
add
congratulations
to
the
gentleman
in
Number
10
upon
his
taste
in
feminine
charms
.
"
Returning
his
cigar
to
his
mouth
,
Goodwin
observed
her
,
and
saw
that
her
eyes
followed
it
and
rested
upon
it
with
icy
and
significant
concentration
.
Apparently
she
had
not
heard
a
word
he
had
said
.
He
understood
,
tossed
the
cigar
out
the
window
,
and
,
with
an
amused
laugh
,
slid
from
the
table
to
his
feet
.
"
That
is
better
,
"
said
the
lady
.
"
It
makes
it
possible
for
me
to
listen
to
you
.
For
a
second
lesson
in
good
manners
,
you
might
now
tell
me
by
whom
I
am
being
insulted
.
"
"
I
am
sorry
,
"
said
Goodwin
,
leaning
one
hand
on
the
table
,
"
that
my
time
is
too
brief
for
devoting
much
of
it
to
a
course
of
etiquette
.
Come
,
now
;
I
appeal
to
your
good
sense
.
You
have
shown
yourself
,
in
more
than
one
instance
,
to
be
well
aware
of
what
is
to
your
advantage
.
This
is
an
occasion
that
demands
the
exercise
of
your
undoubted
intelligence
.
There
is
no
mystery
here
.
I
am
Frank
Goodwin
;
and
I
have
come
for
the
money
.
I
entered
this
room
at
a
venture
.
Had
I
entered
the
other
I
would
have
had
it
before
now
.
Do
you
want
it
in
words
?
The
gentleman
in
Number
10
has
betrayed
a
great
trust
.
He
has
robbed
his
people
of
a
large
sum
,
and
it
is
I
who
will
prevent
their
losing
it
.
I
do
not
say
who
that
gentleman
is
;
but
if
I
should
be
forced
to
see
him
and
he
should
prove
to
be
a
certain
high
official
of
the
republic
,
it
will
be
my
duty
to
arrest
him
.
The
house
is
guarded
.
I
am
offering
you
liberal
terms
.
It
is
not
absolutely
necessary
that
I
confer
personally
with
the
gentleman
in
the
next
room
.
Bring
me
the
valise
containing
the
money
,
and
we
will
call
the
affair
ended
.
"
