The only effective counter-move was made by Ormonde who rejected Fitzgerald's overtures, and, in spite of Desmond's menacing attitude on the South-west, raided the Kildare country, and brought Silken Thomas back in hot haste to defend his own territories. Fitzgerald's rising began in June.

Europe soon saw that it was a woman of no ordinary ability who was sitting on the throne of Russia. In her foreign policy, and in the vigor infused into the internal administration of her empire, the master-hand became apparent. As a counter-move to her designs upon Poland, the Turks were induced to harass her by declaring war upon Russia.

The desperate fight thus closed with a slight advantage to the French, due to the timely advance of Eugène with Macdonald's corps against the right flank of the wearied allies, when it was too late for them to make any counter-move. These had lost severely, and among the fallen was Scharnhorst, whose wound proved to be mortal.

Nick now knew that Venner recognized both Chick and himself, and was serving only the Kilgore gang.

Then Nick, who had speedily planned his own counter-move, again turned to Rufus Venner.

Subsequently, however, a sympathiser explained to him delicately the true meaning of the question, and, as a counter-move, Lord Cranston made a violent attack upon 'Empire building plus finance. He drew distinctions between governing men and making money.

That must be our counter-move." Madame de Chantonnay protested volubly. For if Frenchmen are ready to sacrifice, or, at all events, to risk all for a sentiment and history says nothing to the contrary Frenchwomen are eminently practical and far-sighted. Madame had a hundred reasons why the Beauvoir estate should not be sold. Many of them contradicted each other.

The old man actually paid him the compliment of writing a letter about him later on, saying that it would be a good thing to prosecute it would give Red Mick a good scare, even if it didn't get him into gaol. Circumstances, no doubt, justified a prosecution, and it was hard to see bow Mick could make a counter-move.
