He will do Jean Jacques great harm in the end, of that I am sure.

The very day Mademoiselle Zoe left the Manor Cartier to marry the English actor, Jean Jacques took that Spanish bad-lot to his home; and there he stays, and the old friends go--the old friends go; and he does not seem to miss them." There was something like a sob in M.Fille's voice.

He had loved Zoe in a way that in a mother would have meant martyrdom, if necessary, and in a father would have meant sacrifice when needed; and indeed he had sacrificed both time and money to find Zoe.

He had even gone as far as Winnipeg on the chance of finding her, making that first big journey in the world, which was as much to him in all ways as a journey to Bagdad would mean to most people of M.Mornay's world.

Also he had spent money since in corresponding with lawyers in the West whom he engaged to search for her; but Zoe had never been found.
