afternoon. I heard a delighted voice
chirruping at me from across the foyer of the Hotel de l'Europe:
"Allo! Allo! Allo! Cheerheeo, my frien'! I ahm glad to see you again!"
Monsieur Jaccquard grasped my hand, beamed at me and rushed on, without giving me a chance to get a word in edgewise.
"Tonight I leave for Marseilles. An' I ahm all—how you say?—all set to tell my wife 'bout you. My wife not lak Américains; she say you are Shylockers. But w'en I tell her how you help zat poor countrywoman of mine, why, by Gods, she never will dare say it again!"
I gave Monsieur Jaccquard a sour, suspecting look. But the eyes that looked into mine were limpid and blue, absolutely guileless. I put a sudden, sharp clamp on my tongue. I knew now that as far as he was concerned my suspicions were unfounded. He had not been implicated in Mademoiselle Pauline's adroit "touch.". . .
After all, we had been lucky, Monsieur Jaccquard and I. The Mayor of Soerabaya was in jail!

Is gold that flows
Like a Yellow River.
