Do you see one?" Saniel thought that the judge looked at him with a disagreeable persistency. "No," he said, sharply. Then rising, he said, more calmly: "That is not in my line."

The Prince having spoken a few words of encouragement to Berthold, which he was never likely to forget, signified to them that they might retire, and gave orders to one of the officers to attend to their wants.
