He took his medicine bravely twelve leaden pills administered by as many skilful surgeons. It is perhaps just as well for you that you are widows. If he had lived long enough he would have made a widower of himself." The three wives of Von Blitz hugged themselves and cried out in their joy! "But it is yet too early to congratulate yourselves on your freedom.
It was easy to unlock the doors and come into this room. I found that some one had been here before me. The door to the passage had been forced open from without cracked by dynamite. Many of the treasure boxes have been removed. Von Blitz was here not an hour ago. He wears boots. I saw the footprints among the naked ones in the passage. They will come back for the other chests.
Strict orders were given that no one was to venture into that portion of the park open to long-range shots from the hills. Chase set the minds of all at rest by announcing that the islanders would not seek to set fire to the château from the cliffs: such avaricious gentlemen as Von Blitz and Rasula would never consent to the destruction of property so valuable.
Now the advance was no longer calculable or predictable; at any moment a spot apparently beyond danger might be threatened and attacked. Immediately men remembered the exotic growth of flowers which came up to hide some of London's scars after the blitz and the lush plantlife observed in Hiroshima. Why hadnt the allwise scientists remembered and taken them into account before the bomb was dropped?
It was Von Blitz who told the leading men of the island that their wives the Persians, the Circassians, the Egyptians and the Turkish houris were in love with the tall stranger. It was he who advised them to observe the actions, to study the moods of their women. If he spoke to one of the women, beautiful or plain, the whole male population knew of it, and smiled derisively upon the husband.
"But Von Blitz has sworn to kill you," she expostulated with some heat. "You are wasting your integrity, I must say, Mr. Chase." "Would you have me shoot him from ambush?" he demanded. "Not at all. You could have taken him captive and held him safe until the time comes for you to leave the island." "He would not have been my captive in any event.
I never travel with a window open; my health's delicate." I tried to shut it, but it wouldn't go up or down, till a gentleman put out his cane and touched it, and down it slid, like Signor Blitz. It did seem as if everything about the cars went by miracle. I thanked him, but I found afterward it would have been more polite not to have spoken.
I have since been informed that he had wagered fifty florins with Joseph Kilian, the gamekeeper, that the boar-hound would renew the attack. He advanced slowly, patting the dog with his hand, and saying persuasively "Good dog, Blitz! good dog!"
"Ay, ay," shouted several, in a breath; "what is to be done with 'em? There's no water for them that's sartin." "Why, what can be done?" responded an inhuman monster. "Chuck 'em overboard!" "Dunder an' blitz!" exclaimed a ferocious German, who appeared pleased with the idea; "dhat is de besht blan wees not can do petter dhan to glear 'em out from de sheep."
When "Potter the ventriloquist," the predecessor of the well-remembered Signor Blitz, went round giving his entertainments, there was something unexplained, uncanny, almost awful, and beyond dispute marvellous, in his performances.
