At length his wandering eyes were caught and held by the eyes of Aristides, whose glance was sharp and poisoned. Georges recoiled a little."Surely I have seen you before?" he asked."It is possible. It is likely. But I do no{42}t remember our meeting.... Does Your Highness feel better now?""A little. But I want air."And then Georges suddenly began to tremble, for as he stopped speaking he became blindingly aware of the identity of his masseur.

Aristides took it, and with his own communicated to Georges an indefinable feeling of impending woe. He did not speak."But you must have recognized me " urged Georges. "Why did you not say so? We were friends once, you know." |
