Everyone saluted the flag, and the King said: "There, gentlemen, the Auriole is a duly commissioned warship of the British Navy, and you have our authority to do all lawful acts of war against our enemies. Good-morning! I shall hope to hear from you soon." "I'm sorry, your Majesty," said Mr Parmenter, "that we can't fire the usual salute.
"I have made a certain discovery, Mr Parmenter," said Lennard, with a gravity which made Auriole raise her eyelids quickly, "but whether I have found a comet so far unknown to astronomy or not, is quite another matter.
The little Wolseley Ten wound through the green lanes and presently mounted a pine fringed slope. Away to the west hung the smoke of London with the pleasant countryside in between. Auriole touched the chauffeur on the arm and he stopped. Alighting from the car she scrambled over uneven ground and presently threw herself down under the shade of a tree.
While the potentates of the Alliance were almost quarrelling as to what was to be done, the Auriole paid a literally flying visit to the British positions, and then the hospitals.
I'll send a wire to Henchell and tell him to hurry up with his gun at Pittsburg and send on news to all the American observatories. Then we'll have breakfast and, as it's a cloudy morning, I think we might start right away for London in the Auriole and get this business fixed up. The enemy doesn't know we're here at all, and so long as we keep above the clouds there's no fear of anyone seeing us.
Still, that needn't trouble anyone. It looks as if it were going to be a splendid night for star-gazing, and I don't want Auriole disappointed, so she can go up to the observatory with you at the proper time and see what there is to be seen. See you later, I have only just about time to get the connection for London." Lennard was not altogether sorry that this accident had happened.
If you take my advice you will have your coffee and something to eat and tell us the rest of it while you're getting something that will do you good. What do you think, Poppa?" "Hard sense, Auriole, hard sense. Your mother used to talk just like that, and I reckon you've got it from her. Well now, here's the food, let's begin.
I've got a hunger on me that I'd have wanted five dollars to stop at the time when I couldn't buy a breakfast." They sat down, Miss Auriole at the head of the table and her father and Lennard facing each other, and for the next few minutes there was a semi-silence which was very well employed in the commencement of one of the most important functions of the human day.
He spoke the final words slowly and with great meaning, then turned and went out. Auriole caught Ezra Hipps by the sleeve as he passed her. "What does he means 'all the rest?" she questioned. The American scarcely paused in his stride. "Think it over," he said, and closed the door behind him.
And now," he continued, rising, "if you will allow me, I will say well, I was going to say good-night, but of course it's good-morning I'm going to bed." "Will you come down to lunch, or shall I have some sent up to you?" said Auriole. "No, thanks. I don't think there will be any need to trouble you about that.
