?〃 he muttered。
By mon accord; they both turned to the window。 They were just in time to see the American emerge into the street below。
He turned to the left and marched along at a good pace without once turning his head。 Two shadows stole from a doorway and followed noiselessly。 Pursuers and pursued vanished into the night。 Olga Demiroff spoke。
〃He will get back safely;〃 she said。 〃You need not fear … or hope … whichever it is。〃
〃Why do you think he will be safe?〃 asked Krassnine curiously。
〃A man who has made as much money as he has could not possibly be a fool;〃 said Olga。 〃And talking of money …〃
She looked significantly at Krassnine。
〃Eh?〃
〃My share; Boris Ivanovitch。〃
With some reluctance; Krassnine handed over two of the notes。 She nodded her thanks; with a plete lack of emotion; and tucked them away in her stocking。
〃That is good;〃 she remarked; with satisfaction。
He looked at her curiously。
〃You have no regrets; Olga Vassilovna?〃
〃Regrets? For what?〃
〃For what has been in your keeping。 There are women … most women; I believe; who go mad over such things。〃
She nodded reflectively。
〃Yes; you speak truth there。 Most women have that madness。 I … have not。 I wonder now …〃 She broke off。
〃Well?〃 asked the other curiously。
〃The American will be safe with them … yes; I am sure of that。 But afterwards …〃
〃Eh? What are you thinking of?〃
〃He will give them; of course; to some woman;〃 said Olga thoughtfully。 〃I wonder what will happen then。。。〃
She shook herself impatiently and went over to the window。 Suddenly she uttered an exclamation and called to her panion。
〃See; he is going down the street now … the man I mean。〃
