'But Prince Eugen will live, she said positively, 'and if he lives 'Then I shall be free. I would renounce all my rights to make you mine, if if 'If what, Prince? 'If you would deign to accept my hand. 'Am I, then, rich enough? 'Nella! He bent down to her. Then there was a crash of breaking glass. Aribert went to the window and opened it.
What million? His eyes wandered uneasily round the room. 'Ah! he said, pretending to laugh. 'I see how it is. I have been chattering in my delirium. You mustn't take any notice of that, Aribert. When one has a fever one's ideas become grotesque and fanciful. 'You never talked in your delirium, Aribert replied; 'at least not about yourself.
Then he told him all he had learnt from Mr Sampson Levi. 'What have you to say to that? Racksole ended. Prince Aribert made no reply. 'What have you to say to that? Racksole insisted. 'Merely that Eugen is ruined, even if he is alive. 'Not at all, Racksole returned with cheerfulness. 'Not at all. We shall see about that.
It presented no peculiar features: it was just an ordinary room, rather small, rather mean, rather shabby, with an ugly wallpaper and ugly pictures in ugly frames. Thrown over a chair was a man's evening-dress jacket. The door was closed. Prince Aribert turned the knob, but he could not open it. 'It's locked, he said. 'Evidently they know we're here.
And as for Sampson Levi, I will bet you a thousand marks that he and I come to terms this morning, and that the million is in my hands before I leave London. Aribert shook his head. 'You seem to be pretty sure of Mr Levi's character. Have you had much to do with him before? 'Well, Eugen hesitated a second, 'a little.
'Poisoned, sire! exclaimed old Hans, with an air of profound amazement and concern, and he seized the glass. 'Impossible, sire. I myself opened the bottle. No one else has touched it, and the cork was perfect. 'I tell you it is poisoned, Aribert repeated. 'Your Highness will pardon an old man, said Hans, 'but to say that this wine is poison is to say that I am a murderer.
Despite the extraordinary experiences through which he had recently passed, events which called aloud for explanations and confidence between the nephew and the uncle, he would say scarcely a word to Prince Aribert.
'I don't know, said Racksole, feeling stupid and queer; 'I don't know. Then he marched heavily after Prince Aribert into the room. On the mantelpiece were a couple of candles which had been blown out, and in a mechanical, unthinking way, Racksole lighted them, and the two men glanced round the room.
Prince Aribert became suave, even deferential to Nella, and more friendly towards Nella's father than their respective positions demanded. The latter amused himself by studying this sprig of royalty, the first with whom he had ever come into contact.
Scarcely could she feel its pulsation, and to Aribert her eyes expressed a sudden despair. At that moment Hans re-entered the room and beckoned to her. 'I have heard that Herr Racksole has returned to the hotel, he whispered, 'and that he has captured that man Jules, who they say is such a villain.
