Having stored these things in the prince's memory, she said: 'You will see everything happen just as I have said. Then she escorted him a little way; they parted, and she went home to mourn his absence. Prince Almas, relying on the Causer of Causes, rode on to the Place of Gifts and dismounted at the platform.
She was the more troubled, because she could not imagine how her talisman should have caused the prince's separation from her; she did not however lose her judgment, and came to a courageous resolution, not common with persons of her sex. Only herself and her women knew of the prince's absence; for his men were reposing or asleep in their tents.
The deputies returned to Ghent in despair, but three days afterwards a new deputation was sent to the Spanish camp, which at last, by the intercession of one of the prince's friends, who was a prisoner in Ghent, obtained peace upon moderate terms.

The cities and places included in the Prince's commission, but not yet acknowledging his authority, should receive satisfaction from him, as to the point of religion and other matters, before subscribing to the union. All prisoners, and particularly the Comte de Bossu, should be released without ransom.

As it slowed down, car after car passing us, Mamma gave a little scream and pointed. "Look, there's another automobile on a truck!" said she. "My goodness, if it isn't exactly like the Prince's!"
