As the czardas quickened until its pace reached the speed of a whirlwind, de Savignac suddenly staggered to his feet his breath coming in short gasps. "Sit down!" I pleaded, not liking the sudden purplish hue of his cheeks. "Let me alone," he stammered, half angrily. "It is so good to be alive again." "You shall not," I whispered, my eye catching sight of a gold louis between his fingers.
Alone in the world, the sole survivor of her massacred tribe, the Russians to her were the murderers of her people, the assassins of the free musicians with eagle profiles she used to follow as they played the czardas from village to village.
