Gerald's Ordeal, Vol. 2 of 3

That lazy beggar, Mortimer, had not made his appearance when he came out, and would probably have gone off somewhere on his own account before this, Charles thought, and so not caring to go back immediately to the hotel, he crossed the street and entered the garden of the Tuileries at one of the side gates. Here, for some time, he remained wandering up and down the' shaded alleys, or reclining on one of the seats, until a sudden longing for an ice took possession of him, and he summoned sufficient energy to return to his hotel for the purpose of getting one.
