[Love Eternal by H. Rider Haggard]@TWC D-Link bookLove Eternal CHAPTER V 1/24
CHAPTER V. MADAME RIENNES About 11 o'clock on the day following this conversation, Godfrey found himself standing on the platform in the big station of Lucerne. "How are you going to get to Kleindorf ?" Miss Ogilvy asked of him. "It's five miles away by the road.
I think you had better come to my house and have some _dejeuner_.
Afterwards I will send you there in the carriage." As she spoke a tall gaunt man in ultra-clerical attire, with a very large hooked nose and wearing a pair of blue spectacles, came shuffling towards them. "Madame is Engleesh ?" he said, peering at her through the blue glasses. "Oh! it is easy to know it, though I am so blind.
Has Madame by chance seen a leetle, leetle Engleesh boy, who should arrive out of this train? I look everywhere and I cannot find him, and the conducteur, he says he not there.
No leetle boy in the second class.
