Evidently the rascals were traveling under other names now. "They'll bear watching," he concluded. "I must put Mr. Vane on guard as soon as he comes in." He gave up the idea of leaving a note and took his station in the corridor of the hotel. After waiting about two hours he saw a well-known form approaching, dress-suit case in hand. "Mr. Vane!" "Oh, Joe, so you're here already!

As we rode into the yard, we had some ado to keep our horses from treading on the sleeping soldiers, who lay scattered all round the building, and also in its open corridor fronting toward Obraja.

The commandant paused before a door decorated with flags and led her into another corridor lined with cubicles much larger than those she had seen at first. "Open number seven." The soldier took his bunch of keys and opened the door. "Now fetch mademoiselle's effects from the other corridor. Which number was your room, mademoiselle?" "Twenty-two. But I can fetch them ... I have really nothing."

At last he sprang up, threw on a light top-coat, grabbed a hat, and made for the door. He would go down to the Chateau and investigate. Anything was preferable to this miserable waiting.
