CHAPTER SIXTEEN “How do you do?" .Marie pave •ns es her surprisingly »by smiles. She thought this Barones* Lascar fascinating. Then she turned to Nino in her direct way. “I don't see why it's strange that intelligent people should visit Corfu. After all, Ulysses came here." She turned back to Madame Imsrar. “Did yuu come by Brindisi?” "Yes, and what an atrociously dull place! That's your yacht in the bay, isn’t it?" Marie nodded. Madame Lascar continued, with a faint glance of malice at Lippi, “A very old friend of mine is on iL” She paused, this time including Tony in her slow smile. “A very old friend," she repeated. “Felix Northeim. I’m wondering, in fact, if it would be potnblt for me to see him.” Tony mentally took his hat off to such delicate maneuvering. She wax superb. He had to hand it to both her and Lippi for a Latin exhibition of manners under strain. “I’ll tell him you’re here,” the Marchese said quickly. Marie spoke up, her voice cordial. "Why do that, Nino? The Baroness must come back with us for tea. Wiß you?” “How very kind! I am sure that Felix will be stesf astonished." Madame Lascar sounded triumphant. “What lovely hair you have, my dear," she said to Marie as they walked out of the hotel. “That shade of rad is quite rare—so rick And the way you wear it—you call that a shoulder bob in America, don’t ?»u? Ah, what it is to be young! all me about Felix.” She slipped an arm under Marie’s. Lippi muttered something under bis breath. He walked behind with Tony, whose distrust of this woman had rushed back. For in that single flash of triumph, her eyes on Maris had been cold. He had seen such looks in other women’s eyes when confronted with younger rival*. Was that what La Lascar thought? Marie -a rival? He found himself terribly afraid of this added complication to the danger on the yacht Then he snapped into wariness, for within a few paces of the launch, Nino said to him too casually. “By the way, did you notice her carnation? An exquisite imitation, tut" 80 Nino was in on the cruel and cryptic carnation language ... tAey were still sounding kim out. “As a matter of fact, I did notice it," Tony answered, with evident frankness. “Some sort of silk.” He laughed. “Odd thing. I mentioned it to the Jap this morning. There were some carnations in Sheldon's room last night like this one—only white.” He was prepared for Nino's keen side glance, quickly withdrawn. “I dare say they’re not uncommon,” Nine observed. "I know that when they run short of fresh flowers on the Serena, they occasionally uxe artificial ones." He made a slight grimace. “Personally I prefer the garden products." In his heart Nino wa* preying that be might never find one of the sinister white carnations in hit room. see When the grinning Kioto announced the arrival of the Baroness Lascar oa the Seremt, Northeim couldn't speak for a moment Gutterala choked in his throat "My new brown gabardine suit—the yellow and white tie—quick I That Nine that dnmmer seel—a donkey, indeed, bringing her here I" he growled, and flung off the black brocade gown, in which he had lounged all that infuriating day. Felix looked at himself. The brown suit wea the last word in elegance. It Ere proportion and authority to heavy body and short logs. L T«n minutes later, » Thelma

gallantly ushered La Lascar into the sanctum and retired. Felix Northeim didn’t rise from his chair when Madame Lascar walked in and shut the door. He sat at his small table, bis back to the starboard windows, his massive head thrust forward. “You shouldn’t have come, Theresa,” he said as his hand went out to the ivory seal on the table. That seal was his high executive prop. "You mean, my dear Felix, that you r<-gr*-t I am able to go anywhere ?” She looked at him a shade wearily, her delicate eyebrows arched. They knew each other so well. She had scon him in settings almost like this one. Even in the suite of a luxurious yacht, it pleased him to have one monastic chamber in which to wea<~e his schemes and run his enterprises. Undoubtedly, in one of those file cabinets opposite the door, there would be a dossier cov.-nng every contact of her recent visit to America. "You are a rash woman, Theresa.” He stared at her critically. She bore her middle years with amazing distinction. If he could trust her — but he couldn’t. "From you, Felix, that la flattery.” He was as ruthless as ever, she thought. Yet when she was with him the ugly fascination of the man fevered her blood. She watched him fondle the seal. "This was once the symbol of our life." She touched the red carnation on the lapel of her coat. “Do you think you can bleed it white? What a showman you are with your seal, your white warning, your snake ring—l see you still wear it for its hypnotic effect." The great emerald of the snake ring glittered on the fourth finger of his fleshy hand holding the seal. “Show business, you »ay? Well my business, you know, must not be trifled with,” he said softly. A flush thickened his swarthy akin. “I waa very fond of you, Theresa." “Wat? Do you think I accept that as an epitaph? You had your Luigi follow me in America, and he was on the Savoia. You are toeing your grip, Felix. Once upon a time, you would have delivered those carnations in person 1" Northeim stared at her eloeely "They frightened yra, though, Theresa, or you would not be here. There are tears in your eyes." He drew in hie pendant lip and got to his feat. He wanted to think she was afraid. Perhaps ha had been too hasty. Her elegance impressed hiss. Yes, ska might still be useful. “AeA, we quarrel like childreal" he said, strutting around to where she sat, her back to the curtained windows. “Coma now—you shall always wear the red carnation." He stroked the flower. She smiled, her thin, scarlet lips edged with bitterneM. “You would be a great man, Felix, if you weren't *0 vain A great man," she added, who once pretended he believed in the vroletariat ... a new Lenin, another Stalin. But you have made a market of your brains and ideals ... a dangerous market. You have gon* too far, for the sake of power.” She had rained his moment of tenderneee. He went back to his chair and took up his seal “1 hoot power.” he declared. The Baroness leaned back ta her ehair. "Nevertheless, you are going to need me, FeMx," she murmured. •There are two men waiting tor you in Cannes—Haensel aad Voredhin. You eea, I know what grea oa. 1 know who they represent." He started. “Who told you that?" She smiled. “Rumors travel. This central agency of yours, which promises so much, has aroused comment and envy among those working along similar lines.” “I shall absorb all such groups," he boMtad. Thereta Lascar shrugged. "You mean you will buy them mth the—
