Jamieson can't figure on what they're going to do next, or how to beat them at their own game, simply because he doesn't know what their game is. They know just what they want to do, while we haven't any idea, except that they're anxious to have Zara and myself back where Farmer Weeks can do as he likes with us."
All is so green and peaceful, in spite of the countless fortifications which render the harbour well-nigh, if not quite, impregnable, that Nature and War seem for once to go hand-in-hand. At twilight Zara looms up into view, and another short stay is made. The town turns out en masse for the coming of the Wurmbrand or the Pannonia the fast boats from Trieste or Fiume are the events of the week.
And it isn't the fault of this country that there are bad and wicked men in it, who are willing to do wrong if they see a chance to make money by doing so." "But if this country is all that people say about it, they shouldn't be allowed to do it. The law is helping them. In Poland, it was just the same. The law was against my father there " "Listen, Zara!
The nuns escaped to Zara, and the Benedictines crossed to Tkon in the island of Pasman, where they still are. Sebenico lies within a fine harbour at the mouth of the Kerka, some six hours from Zara. During the Italian struggle for freedom and unity many patriots were shut up in the damp dungeons of this fort by the Austrians.
Ever so many welcomes to the family and Montfitchet!" And Zara suddenly felt a lump in her throat. How she had misjudged them all in her hurt ignorance!

There was a good deal of running into each other's rooms before dressing for dinner among the ladies at Montfitchet, that night.
That is the main thing. Thank Heaven!" he exclaimed, "Kalonay and Paul are out of the way, and those crazy boys from Paris. We will settle it here among ourselves in five minutes." "And the American?" asked Zara. "He knows, he will come with him. Suppose he believes, suppose he believes that Kalonay and I have sold you out, but suspects that you know it?"
All reached shore in safety, and King Richard then hired three small vessels, in which he sailed to the port of Zara, whence he hoped to reach the domains of his nephew, Otho of Saxony, the son of his sister Matilda. The king had with him now but two of his knights, Baldwin of Béthune, and Cuthbert of Evesham.
And poor Zara could say nothing of her other anxiety, for now that Ethelrida was engaged to her uncle her lips, about her own sorrow concerning her little brother, must be more than ever sealed.
One does not always wish to hear such expressions as that; and coming from you, addressed to me, they are not pleasant." "Not even when you know them to be sincere, Zara? I spoke in the past tense, and only of what might have been were the disparity of our years less, and if the environment by which we are respectively surrounded could have been different."
"If they can't do any better there than they've done so far on this trip, we needn't worry much, I guess." "Well, do you see what they were up to, now, Dolly?" Dolly wrinkled her brows. "I guess so," she said. "They meant to come aboard the train at Canton and try to get hold of you and Zara. But I don't see why "
