In the softly lighted room, against the pale silk hangings, Madame

Bonanni saw a tremendous profile over a huge fair beard that was half

grey, and one large and rather watery blue eye behind a single eyeglass

with a broad black riband. Before the possessor of these features

turned to look at her, she uttered a loud exclamation of amazement.

Logotheti was really in prison, after all.

Instantly the watery blue eyes met her own. Then the eyeglass dropped

from its place, the jaw fell, with a wag of the fair beard, and a look

of stony astonishment and blank disappointment came into all the great

features, while Madame Bonanni broke into a peal of perfectly

uncontrollable laughter.

And with the big-hearted woman's laugh ends the first part of this

history.
