VI. The Seven Of Hearts - Page 09 of 21 "Now is the time to act and recover what belongs to us. It may be a difficult matter, but we rely upon the assistance of Mon. Andermatt. It will be to his interest to explain his conduct which has hitherto been so strange and inscrutable. He will explain not only why he concealed these facts at the time of the suicide of Etienne Varin, but also why he has never revealed the disappearance of the paper--a fact well known to him. He will tell why, during the last six years, he paid spies to watch the movements of the Varin brothers. We expect from him, not only words, but acts. And at once. Otherwise---" The threat was plainly expressed. But of what did it consist? What whip was Salvator, the anonymous writer of the article, holding over the head of Mon. Andermatt? An army of reporters attacked the banker, and ten interviewers announced the scornful manner in which they were treated. Thereupon, the `Echo de France' announced its position in these words: "Whether Mon. Andermatt is willing or not, he will be, henceforth, our collaborator in the work we have undertaken." * * * * * Daspry and I were dining together on the day on which that announcement appeared.

She did not reply, and it occurred to me that she had used the servants' entrance. How did she know the way? Then there was a silence that was quite embarrassing. She looked at Daspry, and I was obliged to introduce him. I asked her to be seated and explain the object of her visit. She raised her veil, and I saw that she was a brunette with regular features and, though not handsome, she was attractive--principally, on account of her sad, dark eyes. "I am Madame Andermatt," she said. "Madame Andermatt!" I repeated, with astonishment. After a brief pause, she continued with a voice and manner that were quite easy and natural: "I have come to see you about that affair--you know. I thought I might be able to obtain some information---" "Mon Dieu, madame, I know nothing but what has already appeared in the papers. But if you will point out in what way I can help you. ..." "I do not know....I do not know." Not until then did I suspect that her calm demeanor was assumed, and that some poignant grief was concealed beneath that air of tranquility. For a moment, we were silent and embarrassed. Then Daspry stepped forward, and said: |
