Hamilton was certainly very kind; and Stumpy felt that, with such a powerful friend, he had the weather-gage of his avaricious grandfather. Leopold led the way to the shop of his uncle, and the New York merchant joined them. "I want the gold, uncle," said Leopold. "What for you want him?" demanded Herr Schlager. "I have found the owner." "Donner and blitz! Den he is no more your golt."
"May Allah bless you and profit for Himself, excellencies," said the good Selim. Neenah plainly had advanced her suspicions to the brown body-servant. Genevra blushed and then her eyes blazed. She gave the girl a scornful look; Neenah smiled happily, unreservedly in return. "Allah help us, you should say, if Von Blitz returns," interposed Chase hastily. "Is the door barred?" "No, excellency.
Von Blitz, the German, has three and is talking of another." "You mean to say that they can have as many wives as they choose?" demanded Saunders, wrinkling his brow. "Yes, just so long as they don't choose anybody else's." Saunders was buried in thought for a long time, then he exclaimed, unconsciously aloud: "My word!" "Eh?" queried Bowles, arousing himself.
"I don't mean the old story, sir, of the Persians and I'm saying, sir, what's more, there wasn't a word of truth in it I mean the ladies of the château, begging pardon, too. Von Blitz came to me often with complaints that you were being made a fool of by a pretty face or two, and that you were going over to the enemy, body and soul. Of course, I stood out for you, sir. It wasn't any use.
"Well, he's dear with any name, and I'm glad Judy discovered him when she did, money or no money," said Patricia seriously. "He was so disappointed when Madam Blitz said my voice needed another year to grow in, that I'm awfully glad I've hit on something to do that will fill in the time, and keep me learning. That's really the great thing, isn't it, after all?"
Then he was pleased to accuse Chase of duplicity and double-dealing, going so far as to charge the deposed American with plotting against Von Blitz to further his own ends in more ways than one. At last, however, when he was ready to give up in despair, Chase saw signs of conviction in the manner of the native leader. His own fairness, his courage, had appealed to Rasula from the start.
Chase," and her face was suddenly full of real concern, "is there truly great danger?" "I fear so," he answered. "It is only a question of time. I have tried to check this uprising, but I've failed. They don't trust me. Last night Von Blitz, Rasula and three others came to the bungalow and coolly informed me that my services were no longer required. I told them to to go to "
I said I'd decided to resign, to get out of the infernal place. But I've changed my mind. I'll stick my time out. I've got three months longer to stay and I'll stay. If Von Blitz thinks he can drive me out, he's mistaken.
Evidently it had been no easy task to remove the chests. The four burly men sat down upon the chests, Von Blitz alone being visible to the watchers. They were fagged to the last extreme. "Dis is der last," panted Von Blitz, blowing hard and stretching his big arms. The guttural German tones were highly accentuated by the effort required in speaking. His three helpers said nothing in reply.
Von Blitz stood at the landing place to welcome Rasula and his comrades, and to be the first to clasp the hand of the man from London. For the first time in his life his stolidity gave way to something resembling exhilaration. He cast more than one meaning glance at the château, and those near by him heard him chuckle from time to time.
