Over and above this military official, the only other person present was a police official, a certain Doctor Prince, originally a police surgeon and now a distinguished detective, sent to be a bodyguard to the group.

Has that been sufficient to destroy all your patriotism, all your love for your own country?" The Princess made a little grimace. "My dear Anna," she said, "I am not so serious a person as you are. I am profoundly, incomprehensibly selfish. The only human being in the whole world for whom I have had a spark of real affection is Maurice, and I adore him. What he has told me to do, I have done.
"Bending before men," if it is not to be a mere empty grimace, better dispensed with than practiced, is Hero-worship, a recognition that there does dwell in that presence of our brother something divine; that every created man, as Novalis said, is a "revelation in the Flesh." They were Poets too, that devised all those graceful courtesies which make life noble!
Antoine cried, standing out and confronting me. "It is you, is it?" "Yes," I answered sharply, meeting his eyes and speaking in a tone I had not used for a week. "And if you do not mend your manners, Master Antoine " "Go round the buttress!" he retorted with a grimace. "I will!" I answered. "I will! And then " "You dare not!" "Come!" I said; "come, and see! And when I have done it, my friend "
The lamp was lighted, and when he sat down Wyllard, who raised himself feebly on his pillow, turned a pallid face to him. "Charly tells me you picked the boat up," he said. "We did," said Dampier. "She had three or four planks on one side ripped out of her." Wyllard's faint grimace implied that this did not matter, and Dampier braced himself for the question he dreaded.
The eye glanced here and there, taking in details. "What the what is all this?" There was a soft flurry, and Miss Vesta was beside him. "Oh! my dear my dear young friend! thank God, you are yourself again!" Geoffrey's eyes softened into tenderness as he looked at her. "Dear Miss Vesta! what is the matter? I seem to have " He tried to move his right arm, but stopped with a grimace.
"I adore her," said Saltash with his most hideous grimace. "But I don't go to her for amusement." Toby came forward to fill his glass with liqueur. "Too strait-laced, sir?" he suggested with the suspicion of a smile. Saltash nodded with a sidelong glance at the young face bent over the decanter. "Too limited in many ways, my Toby," he said. "But at the same time useful in certain emergencies.

"I think you are correct about that," said Zoe.
I could almost hear this fellow grimace; and he was never tired of bemoaning his bygone happy state as a Hairdresser's Journeyman in the Rue St. Honoré at Paris. "Why did a Vain Ambition prompt me to journey from Marseilles to Constantinople?" cried he about Fifty times a day. Where is my Wife? Where is my Wife's Cousin? They are drinking the wine of Ramponneau; they are dancing at the Barriers.
"Don't look at me when you say that," complained Mollie, with a little grimace. "When we ought to be in there capturing the thieves if that is what they are," he finished. "I'd bet on it," said Frank. "All gypsies are born robbers. Just the same, I wouldn't mind having some of their loot." "Frank!" Grace exclaimed, in a shocked voice.
