"Trust me," she replied, laconically. "I had a cousin who was an actor and I saw him put on a beautiful beard with spirit-gum and creped hair once. That was twenty years ago, but I reckon they can still be had here in town.","Well, yes. Miss Dallas," returned he, with much deliberation. "I am' satisfied, for the time being.","What did she say to you concerning it?",CHAPTER XIV NEW QUARTERS AND OLD FRIENDS，Jen frowned.，"You have good custom today, François," he said with a gesture toward the chattering groups at the other tables.，"Well, sir, the smell made me sleepy; and though I heard a noise behind me I could not turn my head. I was just as if in a nightmare, sir. Then the black arm of that witch came from behind me and grabbed at my throat, and she held a handkerchief with that stuff on it to my nose.""In that case go down to the kitchen and tell my servants from me that you are to stay there.
