'I conclude Rallywood is capable of taking care of himself. The Count grinned. 'Exactly what I believed you would think. There remains only Colendorp. But Colendorp is the man we must have all will depend on Colendorp. 'Do you suppose he will bend? 'If not he must break! But, no; I know him well! I have chosen him because he touches no woman!
Well, it was good to know that Colendorp had not died in vain; indirectly but none the less surely his death had brought about the defeat of Sagan's plot. Then he rode away into the heart of the winter woods, where the branches groaned and thrashed under the driving wind.
'And you are coming too, are you not? went on Madame de Sagan, with a note in her voice that Rallywood was learning to dread. 'I fancy not. Unziar and Adiron have been mentioned. 'Yes, Anthony Unziar, because he is my cousin, and for the sake of Valerie. Also Captain Colendorp. I do not like him, he is always black and sneering, but the Count chose him yesterday, and then I suggested yourself.
'But we are going back to Révonde in a day or two, and then I will wipe out the remembrance of everything that has happened at Sagan from my mind forever! Elmur was about to reply when Sagan spoke again. 'No one appears to have heard or seen anything of Captain Colendorp. We will have the dogs out, Captain Rallywood.
Even he felt the check of the man's iron impassiveness. 'You sent for me, my lord, returned Colendorp, as one who hints that time is short and he would be through with business. 'Take a cigar, said the Count, pushing a box across the table, and also pouring out a generous glass of the liqueur, for the manufacture of which Maäsau is famous the golden glittering poison known as bizutte.
Duke Gustave is sunk in pleasure and has sold the country over and over again to the highest bidder, and only got out of his share of the bargain by Selpdorf's infernal cleverness. This time we will play an open game. With Germany to stand by us, we have nothing to fear! 'And if His Highness will not consent to these changes? again demanded Colendorp.
Men who don't love women, love money, and men who do 'Love both, said Elmur quietly. 'To-morrow night Colendorp shall be here with me. You also will be present. Colendorp is a poor man as men go in the Guard and we must approach him softly and by degrees, said Sagan. Elmur concealed a smile.
Poor old Insermann! he was the last of a good stock, and I, for one, don't like new blood. What have you to say about that pass now, Colendorp? If I am not mistaken, you defended it? 'Insermann was by three inches too tall, replied the individual addressed. 'For a short man one would be hard put to it to discover a more useful Hullo!
'Maäsau the Free! Long live the Duke! The Duke's man ... I ... Colendorp of ... The wind had lulled for a second. Again the mad blast caught and wrenched Colendorp's figure, the snow gave between his feet, and he plunged forward heavily into the gorge of the Kofn river.
But to return, I left you at the Castle looking for Colendorp; whether you found him or not does not come into this affair. Perhaps he was in Sagan's way and he removed him 'With a knife. 'That is quite in the Count's manner. Well, I got safely to England, where my business took a day and a half longer than I expected.
