General le Gallifet advanced to meet him with a puzzled look of half-recognition on his face, which was at once banished by Tremayne holding out his hand without the slightest ceremony, and saying "Ah, I see you recognise me, General!" "I do, my Lord Alanmere, and, you will permit me to add, with the most profound astonishment," replied the General, taking the proffered hand with a hearty grasp.
Noble alike by lineage and nature, no fairer mistress could have been found for the lands of Tremayne and Alanmere, but what seas of blood and flame now lay between him and the realisation of his love-ideal! He must forsake his own, and become a revolutionary and an outcast from Society.
She would fulfil her engagement with the Triple Alliance, and declare war the moment that one of the Powers was attacked, but she would not pour British gold in millions into the bottomless gulf of Italian bankruptcy. Such were the main points in the speech of the Duke of Argyle, who followed Lord Alanmere, and spoke just before the division.
"Tell Lord Alanmere from me that I now accept the terms he has offered as President of the Anglo-Saxon Federation, first, because at all hazards I would see Britain delivered from her enemies; and, secondly, because I have chosen rather to be an English gentleman without a crown, than to wear a crown which after all would only be gift from my conquerors."
But it goes without saying that nowhere did the news produce greater distress or more utter bewilderment than it did among the occupants of Alanmere Castle, and especially in the breast of her who had been so quickly and so strangely installed as its new owner and mistress. Everywhere the wildest rumours passed from lip to lip, growing in sensation and absurdity as they went.
