1 Midnight - the hour of surprises -- at the Cafe de la Mort. 2 "We gave the American tourists their money's worth tonight!" 3 "There are kisses - and kisses - that one was too real!" 4 "I picked up this card as a prospect." 5 "It is the rich and famous Marcel - is he in there now?" 6 "Then that is the job for us tonight." 7 A Parisian moon was meant for romance - not robbery -- 8 "Some day we'll have a home like that --" 9 "But I - wouldn't know how to act - like a lady." 10 "No - we don't kill him." 11 "I want to talk to you." 12 "He's my friend - disguised as a decoy." 13 "One is dead and the other won't go far - we winged him." 14 "Haven't we met before?" 15 Blood poisoning - from the scarf which Marie had bound with love. 16 "Your Beau Brummell crook - bah - his nails were too clean - he could not live!" 17 "Why did you save my life last night?" 18 "Isn't it true that you recognized me? - I just saw your registration card - you were in my lecture class at the University." 19 "What brought you to this life?" 20 "I was unjustly accused a thief - so I wanted to show them all I could make good." 21 "But after making good - you seem to have stayed ....." 22 "There was a girl - " 23 "- I loved her." 24 The Department of State of Apache Headquarters - where passports, credentials and references are made to order. 25 "I think I know where Armand is - and I have a scheme -" 26 "Can you not 'arrange' to have the maid of Pierre Marcel take a vacation?" 27 "Make me the certificate to substitute in her place." 28 Men and maids ..... 29 "If he is awake, you may see him." 30 "I just came to see if you were sleeping." 31 "The most wonderful kiss awakened me." 32 "I want you to meet a charming lady." 33 "I am sure, Jeanne, you can make him forget the past and the companions who were not good for him -" 34 "He just dreamed of a wonderful kiss - I wonder if you could make that dream come true." 35 No disguise can hide love where it is, nor assume it where it is not. 36 "Now that my prisoner is recovering - I believe he can stand his sentence of six months here with me -" 37 "I accept - on one condition - that I be granted one hour to go where I will -" 38 "For your nice lover - you would let us all starve, eh?" 39 "You stand by the door." 40 "You snuff-smelling, absinthe- gargling Frochard - I am leaving you now! Forever!" 41 "Marie - is she here?" 42 "She has gone forever -" 43 "- and it is all your fault!" 44 "Worth twenty thousand francs - just what I need - with Frochard's help." 45 "Don't give it to her - she wants it for that sweetheart." 46 "Armand has gone to London - but it was not I he kissed good-bye." 47 "Pierre Marcel has stolen him from me - and for that he will pay!" 48 "She is right - we have plans -" 49 "Everything is fixed - you are to be a friend of Eugene Daudet, Marcel's old crony, now dead -" 50 "Remember all I have told you - and he cannot get you mixed -" 51 "Before he died, your old friend, Eugene Daudet, asked me to see you." 52 "Madame is ill -- she came with me from the convent - the trip was too severe." 53 "It's a burglar alarm invented by the boy who lives with me - he has gone to London to market it." 54 "May I not call when Madame is recovered?" 55 "We would be delighted - you may 'phone us - at the Ritz." 56 "Comrades, have faith in me now, and we will all be rich!" 57 "I'm going to get the last franc Pierre Marcel has ...." 58 "What are you going to do - murder him?" 59 "No - marry him!" 60 At the Ritz. 61 "It is not well to let him think it is easy to see me." 62 "But - it is not easy to see her." 63 "I want you to be my honor guests at a musicale tomorrow night." 64 "Don't accept so fast - it is not good." 65 "Maybe - we come." 66 Guests of "Honor". 67 "One more squeak out of you, and I'll smack you." 68 "It is like you - untouched by an ugly world." 69 "Madame has been neg- lected - I must find her - and entertain her." 70 "While her watchful eyes are away, let us dance -" 71 "Madame, this liquor is for ALL the guests." 72 "It is all so wonderful - I shall hate to leave it." 73 "Why should you leave it - I want you to be here always - already I love you -" 74 "You will have to steal me from Madame." 75 All Paris whispered when Pierre Marcel was married - he had been so aloof from love ...... 76 "Give this to Marie - her wedding present -" 77 "She is not an orphan from the convent -- but of high birth -" 78 "- I loved her so - I stole her as a baby -" 79 "I meant to tell her years ago - but I feared to make her unhappy -" 80 "You will never know my big sacrifice - how much it cost to raise her - but I know you will be good to us now ....." 81 "I am not the girl you think -- not from the convent -" 82 "- but from the streets -" 83 "I married you for revenge -- not for love." 84 "I am an Apache -" 85 "- the girl Armand loved -" 86 "- and I married you because you said I was not good enough for him." 87 "Monsieur Armand has just arrived." 88 "That is how she used our money - to marry Armand!" 89 "Armand, kiss me!" 90 Sunlight and Shadows. 91 "They told me - you were dead -" 92 "To you I was dead -" 93 With the light of day, love's tangled threads slowly weave new patterns.
