'Nonsense! It reflects the highest credit on your philanthropic
spirit; Hughie。 And don't run away。 Have another cigarette; and
you can talk about Laura as much as you like。'
However; Hughie wouldn't stop; but walked home; feeling very
unhappy; and leaving Alan Trevor in fits of laughter。
The next morning; as he was at breakfast; the servant brought him
up a card on which was written; 'Monsieur Gustave Naudin; DE LA
PART DE M。 le Baron Hausberg。' 'I suppose he has come for an
apology;' said Hughie to himself; and he told the servant to show
the visitor up。
An old gentleman with gold spectacles and grey hair came into the
room; and said; in a slight French accent; 'Have I the honour of
addressing Monsieur Erskine?'
Hughie bowed。
'I have come from Baron Hausberg;' he continued。 'The Baron … '
'I beg; sir; that you will offer him my sincerest apologies;'
stammered Hughie。
'The Baron;' said the old gentleman with a smile; 'has commissioned
me to bring you this letter'; and he extended a sealed envelope。
On the outside was written; 'A wedding present to Hugh Erskine and
Laura Merton; from an old beggar;' and inside was a cheque for
10;000 pounds。
When they were married Alan Trevor was the best man; and the Baron
made a speech at the wedding breakfast。
'Millionaire models;' remarked Alan; 'are rare enough; but; by
Jove; model millionaires are rarer still!'
