I will see that justice is done. It is no girl he has to deal with now." "Stop!" cried the Princess, the command checking the men. Quinnox leaped in front of his charge. "He is my prisoner, and he shall have justice. Keep back your soldiery, Prince Bolaroz. It is a girl you have to deal with.
Prince Gabriel, he said, not knowing that he was cutting his listener to the heart, was daily with the Princess, and it was believed that he was ready to loan Graustark sufficient money to meet the demand of Bolaroz. The mere thought that Gabriel was with her aroused the fiercest resentment in Lorry's breast.
"By the way, you have mentioned Prince Bolaroz the Sixth, but you haven't given a name to the country he ruled." O'Dowd stared. "The Saints preserve us! Is the man a numbskull? Are you saying that you don't know who and what My God, such ignorance bewilders me!" "Painful as it may be to you, O'Dowd, I don't seem able to place Bolaroz in his proper realm." "Whist, then!"
He left her at the head of the stairs, and did not see her again until she passed him in the throne room. Then she was pale and brave and trembling. Prince Bolaroz and his nobles stood to the right of the throne, the Graustark men and women of degree to the left, while near the door, on both sides were to be seen the leading military men of both principalities.
It was then that Quinnox had wit enough to change front and drag his prisoner to the place which, most of all, he had wished to avoid. "The prisoner!" shouted the northern nobles, and in an instant the solemn throne room was wild with excitement. "Do not sign that decree!" cried some one from a far corner. "Here is your man, Prince Bolaroz!" cried a baron. "Quinnox has saved us!" shouted another.
You knew when that treaty was framed that we could raise no such funds in fifteen years," said Halfont, forgetting himself in his indignation. Gaspon and other men present approved his hasty declaration. "Am I dealing with the Princess of Graustark or with you, sir?" asked Bolaroz, roughly. You are dealing with the people of Graustark, and among the poorest, I. I will sign the decree.
