Harrigan got off the box and rang the bell.
Nick heard him ask for Gaspard Lebeau. Gaspard was summoned.
"I've two trunks for you," said Harrigan.
"For me?" asked Gaspard.
"Yes; a young woman hired me to bring them, and she said it would be all right. You'd pay the price."
"What sort of a woman?"
"A very gallus French siren with a big white hat and a black plume as long as the tail of me horse."
"All right," said Gaspard, promptly; "bring in the trunks."
They were carried up the stairs to Gaspard's room.
Harrigan mounted the box and drove away.
