The equerry, who was on duty in an anteroom, through a partly opened door overheard the Admiral urging the Archduchess to obtain the consent of her husband with whom she was known to exert extraordinary influence to a union of Austria-Hungary with Germany upon the death of Francis Joseph, who was then believed to be dying a scheme which had long been cherished by the Kaiser and the Pan-Germans.
I don't feel a bit like it, but I suppose I must;" and reluctantly rising from the table, he returned to the parlour, where he found Mr. Walters folding the note he had promised to deliver. As soon as he had despatched Kinch on his errand, Mr. Walters put on his hat and walked to the office of the mayor.

In this neglige, Potemkin approached the door of his anteroom.

Pierre did not understand a word, but the conviction that all this had to be grew stronger, and he meekly followed Anna Mikhaylovna who was already opening a door. This door led into a back anteroom.

Then he went boldly within, crossing the anteroom and standing fairly in the broad beam of light pouring through the open door of communication with the private office.
It came from behind a curtain spread over some clothes that hung on the wall, and Seitz said to himself that the person must be the maid whom he had just met. She was in Els Ortlieb's service, and he was glad to have this living witness at hand. If he could induce Heinz to talk with him here in the anteroom it would be impossible for her to escape.
