The men and women, none of whom could be plainly distinguished from the far-away wall, were undoubtedly a part of the castle's family, and were not to be subjected to the curious gaze of sightseers. Perhaps Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Graustark, was among them.
Then, no doubt, he taxed them a shekel apiece and let them go. An illumination of Heidelberg Castle is one of the sights of Europe. The Castle's picturesque shape; its commanding situation, midway up the steep and wooded mountainside; its vast size these features combine to make an illumination a most effective spectacle. It is necessarily an expensive show, and consequently rather infrequent.
Assuredly, she thought, to her now was to be revealed the long-sought burial-place of the White Lady's treasure.
