"Help me down, please. It's a little difficult here."
He took Mrs. Shiffney's hand. Its clasp now told him nothing.
They crossed the bridge and came once more into the violent activities, into the perpetual uproar of the city.
By the evening train Mrs. Shiffney and her party left for Algiers. Claude went down to the station to see them off.
On the platform they found Armand Gillier, with a bunch of flowers in his hand.
Just as the train was about to start he presented it to Madame Sennier.
From the window of the wagon-lit Mrs. Shiffney looked at the two men standing together as the train drew away from the platform.
Then she nodded and waved her hand.
There was a mocking smile on her face.
When the station was hidden she leaned back, turning toward Henriette.
