The Auction Block Once out of the sluice, we were immediately in the Zuider Zee, whose yellow waves rocked "Lorelei" as if she were a cradle, causing the barge to wallow heavily in our wake. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Thus far Max Melcher's campaign had worked even better than he had expected; and meanwhile he had employed Jim in assiduously cultivating Robert Wharton and arranging as many meetings as possible between Bob and Lorelei. The Auction Block Lorelei recognized the deep-voiced man as Hannibal C. Wharton, one of the dominant figures in the Steel Syndicate; she knew him instantly from his newspaper pictures. The Auction Block But Jim seized him by the arm; Lorelei sprang in front of him. The Auction Block It had been her intention to call Lorelei to witness this dramatic disclosure and thus enhance its effect, but in the excitement of the moment she forgot. The Auction Block I believed at first that he was in love with Nell, and had got himself asked on board "Lorelei" so that he might have the chance of knowing her better. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Lorelei could hear only a part of the words that followed, but the tones of the two voices drew her from her retreat and toward the front of the apartment. The Auction Block "You speak as if she were a dangerous character, and as if she had deliberately entangled him," Lorelei said, defendingly. The Auction Block Then he saw Lorelei's face, and her agonized question took shape out of the whirling chaos in his mind. The Auction Block In some unaccountable way the story of Nobel Bergman's humiliation became public and afforded the basis for a newspaper article that brought him to Lorelei's dressing-room in a fine fury. The Auction Block The men might go, if they liked, he said, and there really wasn't much danger; but in such rough weather he couldn't allow women to run the risk in "Lorelei." The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Lorelei abhorred spiders; the picture of some evil-minded millionaire enmeshing her in a web of intrigue brought a sickening feeling of helplessness and apprehension. The Auction Block "Do you consider yourself in such a condition now?" queried Lorelei, who had been vaguely amused at this Rubaiyat. The Auction Block When, on the morning after her distressing adventure, Lorelei sent for her brother and demanded vengeance upon her assailant he decided that it was time to test the issue. The Auction Block The shock of Lorelei's announcement, the sight of his stricken friend, had sobered him considerably, yet he was not himself by any means. The Auction Block You must have seen it: Captain Noble's 'Lorelei,' which used to lie near the Rowing Club. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Lorelei exploded her bomb at breakfast Sunday morning, and the effect was all she had dreaded. The Auction Block He could be heard gently apologizing and explaining that he was in quest of a Fairy Princess, whereupon Lorelei hastily locked her door. The Auction Block "I'm beginning to doubt that," Lorelei said, slowly. The Auction Block Lorelei began to see sunshine, and before she knew it she was laughing, in the best of humor with herself and her surroundings. The Auction Block There will be no notice up on board "Lorelei": "Please do not speak to the man at the wheel." The Chauffeur and the Chaperon The Hammon-Lynn affair was already notorious; Lorelei's part in it led the stage-broken wiseacres to doubt her innocence, and their altered attitude soon became apparent to her. The Auction Block As she danced away she signaled over her shoulder to Lorelei, who made haste to seek the cloak-room. The Auction Block Lorelei stirred uncomfortably, and the faint color in her cheeks faded slowly. The Auction Block Lorelei would have preferred a different location, not particularly desiring to be near Lilas; but there was no time in which to look about, and the necessity that faced her made any assistance welcome. The Auction Block "Conscientious" hardly expressed him, because it's almost a year since Captain Noble used "Lorelei," and we hadn't written that we were coming to claim her; yet here she was, en fête for our reception. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Adoree was at home; her voice answered cheerily, and her interruptions of amazement and delight caused Lorelei's message to spin itself out unduly. The Auction Block At whatever hour of the night Lorelei might come in, no sound was ever allowed to disturb her until she arose. The Auction Block Bergman invited Lorelei to finish the dance; then he inquired, "What do you think of her?" The Auction Block Together the men entered the building and at the first ring were admitted to Apartment Number One by Lorelei herself. The Auction Block I remarked in my vaguest way that it was a wonder some catastrophe hadn't happened to Tibe or other less important members of the party, on board a boat named 'Lorelei.' The Chauffeur and the Chaperon The other occupants of the room had listened breathlessly; now Lorelei stirred and Merkle read more than mere bewilderment in her face. The Auction Block Mrs. Knight sniffed and wiped her eyes, whereupon Lorelei went to her and hid her face upon her mother's shoulder. The Auction Block "Lorelei's got her nerve to talk to you after the panning you gave Demorest," she continued. The Auction Block "Here are the new pictures of Lorelei for your story, old man," Mr. Slosson said. The Auction Block Thus we left them, and I saw that the ladies were thankful to be safe aboard "Lorelei" again. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon "Now, why did you say that," Lorelei asked, quickly, "and why did you ask in that peculiar tone if she and I were friends?" The Auction Block At Lorelei's entrance he smiled and nodded without rising, then continued his earnest conversation with Miss Lynn. The Auction Block Lilas had introduced the man as one of her girlhood chums, and Lorelei had tried to be nice to him; then in some way he arranged to take her home. The Auction Block Lorelei voiced her first impulse, then shrilly appealed to Lilas to do something. The Auction Block Even when she was "Lorelei," and had no concealments from the world, "Mascotte" never sped more bravely. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon She was still rejoicing garrulously when Lorelei burst into one of her rare passions of weeping and buried her face in her hands. The Auction Block "Why do you choose the Long Island road?" asked Lorelei. The Auction Block You see, dad, I've been crazy about Lorelei ever since I first saw her, and—" "To be sure, that's quite natural. The Auction Block For once in his life Bob showed unmistakable self-consciousness; this was, so far as Lorelei knew, his maiden effort to be serious. The Auction Block Many young men despise aunts as companions; but evidently he isn't one of those, as he beautified "Lorelei" simply to give his aunt pleasure. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Lorelei roused herself, and spoke with quiet decision. The Auction Block The breath of the overheated city changed as by magic, and the thin-faced sufferer at Lorelei's side drank it in eagerly. The Auction Block "But, Lorelei—" He set the glass down with a mirthless laugh. The Auction Block Lorelei's family spent most of the night in discussing their great good fortune. The Auction Block Before we turned, we knew that there was a stranger on "Lorelei," but we were surprised when we saw what sort of stranger he was. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Lorelei was his wife, Bob reflected, dizzily—quite clearly he remembered marrying her. The Auction Block Lorelei was not a little mystified by Merkle's cryptic message, for she could imagine no possible way in which she or the writer himself could be connected discreditably with Jarvis Hammon's affair. The Auction Block Even Lorelei's halting assurance that the gentleman was indeed her husband did not wholly satisfy, and it was with a suspicious mien that the man finally gave way. The Auction Block Lorelei flashed a glance at her brother, who made a quick sign of reassurance. The Auction Block However, I soon forgot about the caretaker and his feelings in admiration of "Lorelei." The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Try to put her in some kind of shape while Lorelei packs her bag. The Auction Block During the ensuing performance Lorelei pondered her friend's disquieting prophecy; yet she could see no reason for grave apprehension. The Auction Block Merkle returned to the library, sent Lorelei in to her brother's assistance, then scanned his friend's face anxiously. The Auction Block What with Lorelei's good fortune and Lilas's catastrophe Mrs. Knight was well-nigh delirious. The Auction Block Still, it does seem a shame that you should be disappointed when you took 'Lorelei' in good faith, and made her so pretty. The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Throughout this sordid chatter, with its avaricious gloatings and endless repetitions, Lorelei sat listless, her thoughts far from pleasant. The Auction Block Lorelei saw that he was very drunk, and marveled at his control during the recent exhibition. The Auction Block Bob was pale and a bit unsteady when he arrived, but Lorelei saw that he suffered only from the effects of his previous debauch. The Auction Block Lorelei rushed to the outside door, restraining with difficulty a wild impulse to run screaming through the hall of the apartment building and so arouse the other tenants. The Auction Block "Had you engaged any one to work 'Lorelei'?" The Chauffeur and the Chaperon Lorelei was with 'em when it happened, and if it's— murder she'll be in it. The Auction Block Mother and daughter were loitering over a midday breakfast, and Lorelei, according to custom, was recounting the incidents of the previous evening. The Auction Block For almost the first time in Bob's society Lorelei laughed out clearly. The Auction Block "You're going to wear an apron and help me scorch the dinner," Lorelei laughed. The Auction Block Lorelei named several tailors of whom Bob had seldom heard. The Auction Block Lorelei gasped an incoherent question, but neither of the two who faced each other appeared to hear it or to notice her presence in the room. The Auction Block At last Melcher's voice came over the wire, and Lorelei recited her message. The Auction Block Lorelei was standing very white and still; now she said, "Don't you think you'd better go?" The Auction Block "Did Mr. Merkle tell you how and why he came to make that offer?" asked Lorelei, indignantly. The Auction Block During this little declaration Lorelei had watched him keenly; she appeared to be seriously weighing his offer. The Auction Block I didn't mean to keep you waiting, but I couldn't imagine … Yes, this is Lorelei's mother. The Auction Block Lorelei carried out her intention of telephoning on the following day, and about the close of the show that night Merkle's card was brought up to her dressing-room. The Auction Block "I didn't want a career," Lorelei denied with heat. The Auction Block A short time later Lorelei turned from the kitchenette to find Adoree Demorest poised, a salad-bowl in one hand, a wooden spoon gripped in the other, on her face a rapt expression of beatitude. The Auction Block "Have you rubbed the dish with garlic?" inquired Lorelei. The Auction Block Lorelei watched his trembling fingers fill the glass before she spoke. The Auction Block Lorelei stared at her friend in genuine surprise, for it was obvious that Lilas was deeply agitated. The Auction Block When he and Jim had gone Mrs. Knight addressed Lorelei with motherly candor. The Auction Block Bob returned in excellent spirits—nothing had power permanently to dampen his cheerfulness—and, seizing Lorelei's hand, he slipped a diamond ring upon her third finger, then a plain gold band over that. The Auction Block He remembered Jimmy Knight's sentence directed at Lorelei. The Auction Block "You must quit drinking before you begin work," said Lorelei. The Auction Block Lilas substantiated this, giving further details as to Melcher's reputation, and then broke down again, weeping with such miserable abandon that Lorelei for the first time began to doubt her own previous convictions. The Auction Block Why, if I—" Lorelei rose and laid her hand over his lips, saying quietly: "I'm planning our happiness, don't you understand? and it's a big stake. The Auction Block Lorelei was not quite sure that Bob would consent to dine in the modest little home, but under the circumstances idleness was maddening, so she fell to work. The Auction Block Seizing Lorelei by the shoulders, she held her off as the target for a searching gaze. The Auction Block As Lorelei came to know him better and to understand the conflicting forces within him, she began to wonder how long he could hold himself true to his bargain. The Auction Block When Lorelei awoke on the following afternoon her first inquiry was for Jim; but he had not come home, and her mother knew nothing of his whereabouts. The Auction Block Greatly encouraged by this lack of desire, he boasted that the battle was already won, and Lorelei pretended to agree with him. The Auction Block With a gasp Lorelei leaped to her feet and fled from the room. The Auction Block Lorelei did not secure another word alone with the dresser until the middle of the second act, by which time Mrs. Croft was her own colorless, work-worn self once more. The Auction Block As the machine glided into noiseless motion Lorelei noted a limousine waiting near by, and saw a dim figure within. The Auction Block He turned his tired, bright eyes upon her, and Lorelei stirred uncomfortably. The Auction Block A fat matron beside Lorelei elbowed her way forward; in one hand she carried a pair of embroidered silk stockings, with the other she raised a lorgnette. The Auction Block Lorelei felt herself flushing uncomfortably under the stares of the onlookers, and, glad to escape, she moved away beside the undisturbed cause of all the furore. The Auction Block Later in the evening Robert Wharton appeared, as usual, and so resentful was he at the deceptions previously practised upon him that Lorelei with difficulty escaped a scene. The Auction Block Lorelei made her accusation boldly, prepared for the usual burst of anger, but Jim listened patiently until she paused. The Auction Block As for the car itself, Lorelei decided it to be a combination of every absurd tradition of the coach-builder's art. The Auction Block Lorelei sighed in hopeless weariness of spirit, for variations of this scene had been common of late, and they always filled her with the blackest pessimism. The Auction Block "How are you going to frame him, with a square dame like Lorelei?" asked Armistead. The Auction Block With one of his infrequent, wan smiles he extended his hand, and Lorelei grasped it warmly, though her face was set and strained. The Auction Block Lorelei had left a handful of silver carelessly exposed, and, discovering this, Mrs. Croft counted it. The Auction Block But Lorelei declined, explaining lamely that she did not care for public places. The Auction Block "I don't know no more than I told you," she informed Lorelei. The Auction Block As Lorelei hurried down the passageway a man in evening dress turned, and she recognized Robert Wharton. The Auction Block Lorelei secured her number and was surprised to recognize her brother's voice. The Auction Block Merkle lay back inertly, lolling and swaying to the side-thrust of the cushions; but Lorelei found her fists clenched and her muscles hard with the nervous strain. The Auction Block The reply, which came with sincere feeling, widened Lorelei's eyes with uncontrollable surprise. The Auction Block Lorelei cast a troubled glance at Merkle and found that he, too, gave signs of uncertainty. The Auction Block Displeased at her own irritation, Lorelei made the excuse of a shopping trip to escape from the house. The Auction Block The head waiter himself hustled forward and, catching Lorelei's eye, signaled her with an appreciative droop of the lid. The Auction Block Lorelei's amazement was convincing, and his keen eyes softened. The Auction Block "I don't want him to do anything," protested Lorelei. The Auction Block She was a small, timid old woman, upon whose manifest need of employment Lorelei had taken pity some time before. The Auction Block I must; or—Lorelei, dear, will you do me a favor? The Auction Block Lorelei introduced her companion and made known the cause of their present plight. The Auction Block Lorelei shook her head; she felt sick with dread of his next words. The Auction Block I'm of age, and Lorelei's a grown woman. The Auction Block Lorelei averted her face, for she could not bear to meet his frank eyes. The Auction Block Lilas was off with a rush, and Lorelei hastened after her, speculating vaguely as to the cause of all this anxiety. The Auction Block "But surely he thought something of his family," protested Lorelei. The Auction Block Together they set out through the starlight, leaving the chauffeur with instructions to secure help from the nearest garage; and as they followed the dim road Merkle continued to apologize until Lorelei silenced him. The Auction Block The three were still buried in discussion when Lorelei appeared at the door. The Auction Block Lorelei was eying the speaker with undisguised curiosity. The Auction Block Lorelei's head was up, and she spoke with a note of defiance. The Auction Block Pope held out his hand to Lorelei, and as she took it her lips parted in her ever-ready smile. The Auction Block He's a great help to the family, for he keeps 'em from getting too proud over Lorelei. The Auction Block Pope found Lorelei completely dressed, in expectation of his arrival. The Auction Block "How—BEAUTIFUL!" gasped Lorelei, when she had taken in the whole scene. The Auction Block He turned to answer a question from Hannibal Wharton, and Lorelei gave her attention to the part of the entertainment which was beginning on the stage. The Auction Block Lorelei came down boldly, dressed for the street, and, since she could not pass the besieger, excused herself briefly. The Auction Block For a moment Lorelei scrutinized her brother in silence, taken aback at his outrageous philosophy. The Auction Block Lorelei, who was watching him, decided that he must have at least twice the usual number; yet it was a good mouth—a good, big, generous mouth. The Auction Block Lorelei felt her embarrassment growing, for this woman differed entirely from what she had expected. The Auction Block Adoree flung out of her finery and donned a Japanese robe, offering another to Lorelei. The Auction Block "I've a notion to box your ears—" Lorelei broke in reprovingly. The Auction Block Lorelei ate her breakfast in silence; then, in reply to a question, accounted for the lateness of her arrival by saying that she had dined with Mr. Merkle. The Auction Block Nevertheless, the existing condition of affairs met the approval of all; and the three conspirators lived in a constant state of eager expectation over Lorelei's fortunes. The Auction Block Of the two Hammon was the more blameworthy; but his domestic unhappiness in a measure canceled his guilt—so, at least, said the code under which Lorelei lived. The Auction Block Only his splendid constitution—that abounding vitality which he had inherited from sturdy, temperate forebears—enabled him to keep up the pace; but Lorelei saw that he was already beginning to show its effect. The Auction Block Lorelei looked up from her sewing at a little cry of rage from Lilas. The Auction Block Merkle inquired anxiously if Lorelei were hurt; the chauffeur ran after the offending car, yelling anathemas into the night. The Auction Block You and—that gang of yours—are full of tricks, but Lorelei's decent, and she's going to stay decent. The Auction Block Lorelei smiled at memory of the miles they had covered so swiftly; but she saw that he was serious and in a sour temper. The Auction Block Lorelei's heart sank at thought of that gaudy machine outside, but there was an honest appeal in the speaker's eyes, and, moreover, the memory of her own obligation rose to prevent her from appearing ungrateful. The Auction Block Lorelei's relief must have been obvious, for Adoree sped swiftly to the corner, then was back again without the dog. The Auction Block In spite of Wharton's reproachful tone, the gaze he bent upon Lorelei was good-humored, and she saw that he was in a mood different to any she had ever seen him in. The Auction Block Lorelei's voice broke; her eyes filmed over with tears. The Auction Block Lorelei looked sharply at her brother, who was approaching with her wraps, and noted that he was perfectly sober. The Auction Block At his hotel Wharton roused himself, and Lorelei sent him reeling into the vestibule. The Auction Block Something in the speaker's words rang false; but just what that something was, Lorelei could not decide. The Auction Block "You'll save me from him," said Lorelei, with a wan smile, "and I'll know that you are in good company for one evening at least." The Auction Block She gave me a note to a manager, too, and I sent him Lorelei's photograph. The Auction Block As Jim and his mother breakfasted together on the following morning he broached the subject of his recent conversation with Lorelei. The Auction Block Lorelei found her mother visibly upset by the story in the morning's newspaper. The Auction Block He took Lorelei's hand, then shot a sharp glance at her escort as the girl introduced them. The Auction Block Bob readily agreed—having reached a condition of mellowness where he agreed enthusiastically to anything—and Lorelei was only too glad to depart. The Auction Block Lorelei had never seen this much-discussed actress, whose wickedness had set the town agog, and her first impression was vaguely disappointing. The Auction Block Lorelei closed her eyes, nauseated, disillusioned, miserable, seeing more clearly than ever the depths into which she had unwittingly sunk, and the infamy into which Jim had descended. The Auction Block He looked meaningly at Croft; and Lorelei, interpreting his glance, sent the dresser from the room on some errand. The Auction Block "Drive on, quickly," Lorelei implored, but the chauffeur cranked his motor reluctantly, craning his neck in an evident desire to see more of this interesting affray. The Auction Block Lorelei awoke to her surroundings with a start, sensing the sudden gravity that had fallen upon her three companions. The Auction Block To Lorelei he added: "This will be considered a great joke on Broadway." The Auction Block "Don't joke about such things," cried Lorelei, sharply. The Auction Block It was all so like a nightmare that Lorelei began to doubt her own sanity. The Auction Block It was Lorelei who at last prevailed upon her husband to leave peaceably, and she was about to accompany him when Lilas Lynn checked her. The Auction Block But I want Lorelei to stay and—hear. The Auction Block Lorelei endeavored to free herself from his embrace, but he clutched her the tighter and laughed insolently. The Auction Block Lorelei had little desire to remain as the witness to a distressing scene, but she seized upon the delay, for even a sordid lovers' quarrel was preferable to the caresses of a sodden bridegroom. The Auction Block Lorelei seated herself at the disordered dining-table and stared miserably at the wall. The Auction Block Before this picture Lorelei paused, staring with wide eyes of wonder. The Auction Block Everywhere was the same evidence of good taste in decoration and luxury of equipment, but a suspicion had entered Lorelei's mind, and she avoided comment. The Auction Block She said Lorelei wouldn't have the least bit of trouble getting a position. The Auction Block It was published in connection with the Hammon divorce proceedings, news of which was exciting comment, and it further smirched Lorelei's reputation. The Auction Block The climax of these annoyances came one night after a party at which Lorelei had been presented to an old friend of Miss Lynn's. The Auction Block This unshaken confidence in her afforded Lorelei far more comfort than Bob's unconcerned attitude, which might be merely the result of his own lax standards. The Auction Block Lorelei was very white now, but she was given no chance to speak. The Auction Block Lorelei's were limpid and of a twilight blue. The Auction Block Bob welcomed the suggestion with a delight that drowned Lorelei's frightened protest; then, as the idea grew in his mind, he joyously appropriated it as his own. The Auction Block The smooth celerity with which this whole adventure ran its course argued a thorough preparation on James's part, but Lorelei was in no condition to analyze. The Auction Block "I don't know why I told you all this," she half apologized to Lorelei. The Auction Block "Lorelei wouldn't let us suffer," he ventured, tremulously. The Auction Block |
