We left the terms to him, and he suggested a compensation far greater than we should have asked. The sum we received from Franz, together with that which we should get from Castleman, would place us beyond want for a year to come. Surely luck was with us. After Castleman's arrival our meals were served in our room, and we saw little of him or of Franz for a week or more.
Drew in the middle, the white rag dropping from the barrel of his carbine, brought the black a step or two in advance. Just so had Castleman ridden into Lexington earlier, and that had been at night with a far more wary and dangerous enemy to face. The scout's confidence rose as he watched, without making any show of his surveillance, the uneasy men ahead.
"Yolanda's head will surely be turned, Sir Count, when she hears you have called her the princess. So much greatness thrust upon her will make it impossible for us to live with her." "She rules us all as it is, sweet soul," said Castleman. "Yolanda is ill upstairs, Sir Count," said Frau Kate. "She wanted to come down this evening, but I commanded otherwise. Twonette, go to her.
"Yes," returned Castleman, "if the duke wants it, God give it him; but I am sorry to see war with so peaceful a people as the Swiss." "There are many persons in Burgundy foolish enough to agree with you," answered De Rose, laughingly, "but for my part, the will of my master is my will." "Amen!" said the cautious burgher. De Rose smiled, and said:
Add corn to soup, with salt, pepper and a little parsley, and simmer slowly half an hour. Just before serving, add a tablespoonful of flour, beaten very thoroughly with a tablespoon of butter. Serve very hot. From MRS. ALICE B. CASTLEMAN, of Kentucky, Alternate Lady Manager. Put a veal bone to boil in one quart of water.
"You shall wear the duke's own color, purple, if you will hold your tongue about worthless matters and tell your father what I want," cried Yolanda, impetuously thrusting Twonette toward Castleman. "You tell him your own wants," answered Twonette, pouting. "Then perhaps his own daughter may have his ear for a moment or two." Yolanda laughed at Twonette's display of ill-temper.
The audience roared, and Aunt Nannie was furious, but poor dear Bishop Chilton had spoken but the literal truth, that he could not spread the wings of his eloquence in the presence of his "better half." And with Major Castleman, though it seemed different, it was really the same. Sylvia's mother had let herself get stout which seemed a dangerous mark of confidence in the male animal.
No! four o'clock is better; then we will sup at six, and have an hour or two before we eat. That's it, uncle; have them here by four. Tell them to fail not by so much as a minute, upon their allegiance. Tell them to be here promptly on the stroke of four." She ran from the room singing, and Castleman started toward the front door.
Yolanda buried her face in Mother Kate's breast; Castleman walked to and fro, and sympathetic Twonette wept gently. It was not in Twonette's nature to do anything violently. Yolanda, on the contrary, was intense in all her joys and griefs. "Did Sir Max tell you who he is?" asked Castleman, stopping in front of Yolanda. "No," she replied, "I will tell you some day how I guessed it.
I discovered it by by magic by sorcery. He will tell you as much." "By the magic of your eyes and smiles. That's the way you wheedled it out of him, and that's the way you coax every one to your will," said Castleman, laughing while Yolanda pouted. "I never saw a girl make such eyes at a man as you made at this Sir Max," said Twonette, who was waiting for her blue velvet gown.
