"Ye-es, I think I do," said Denis, and the colour on his cheeks grew a little deeper, and then deeper still, and he winced a little as if he felt that Carrbroke's searching eyes were reading his inmost thoughts; and then he started and felt worse, for it seemed to him that his companion suspected his reasons for being there, so that he was ready to utter a sigh of relief when Carrbroke said: "Well, you needn't look like that.
For Ned Carrbroke had always something fresh to propose in the way of horsemanship, and often enough invited his French companion to sword-play, which was readily accepted; and to Carrbroke's wonder and delight Leoni would come to look on, and at Denis's request advise them upon questions dealing with offence and defence, and proper conduct of the rapier both in French and Italian schools.
"That is no dream, sir," said Leoni meaningly; "but be silent and let me guide. We are on our way to make our escape." "Escape!" whispered back the King excitedly. "Then then oh, it's coming back quite clearly. You have tried and failed?" "Hist! Silence, Comte!" whispered Leoni, in a commanding tone, as he turned upon the speaker, but without taking his hand from Carrbroke's lips.
"Well? did you beat him?" "I think so. He ran away. But I had my arm nearly wrenched out of the socket." "That's bad. You have had it seen to by a doctor, of course?" "Oh no. It will get well. But who are you?" "Oh, I'm Sir John Carrbroke's son Edward; but he always calls me Ned. I was so tired last night and slept so soundly that I didn't hear you and your friends come.
But he will be desperate. Your Majesty's safety must not be risked. I implore you, let me call the guard." "Well, as you will," said the King. "No, it would only be to reveal that secret place to the common herd. No one shall know it but ourselves. But stop; there is some one close at hand whom I dare trust. Old Sir John Carrbroke's son.
