Chapter IX
THE GERMAN PLOT AGAINST ENGLAND "When last I had the pleasure of meeting mademoiselle, both her nationality and her name were--well--slightly different, eh?" I remarked, bending forward with a smile. From her pretty lips rang out a merry ripple of laughter, and over her sweet face spread a mischievous look. "I admit the allegation, M'sieur Jacox," was her rather saucy response in French. "But I had no idea you would again recognise me."
