I was still dazed over the sudden appearance of the police, but managed to tell my story in full to Dangloss and Count Halfont that's Uncle Caspar and then the chief told me how he and his men happened to be there. In the meantime, the castle physician was attending to you. Dannox had been carried away. I never talked to a more interested audience in my life!
He is not afraid of Dangloss or Braze or Quinnox, but he is afraid of what he calls 'American luck! He is even superstitious about it." "We must not we cannot fail," grated William Spantz, and the cry was reiterated by half a dozen voices. "The world demands success of us!" cried Anna Cromer. "We die for success, we die for failure! It is all one!"
The northern plainsmen who were so soon to acknowledge Axphain sovereignty, wept and wailed over their unhappy lot. Brothers and sisters from the south cursed and moaned in sympathy. Shortly before nine o'clock, Harry Anguish, with his guard of six, rode up to the castle. Captain Dangloss was beside him on his gray charger.
When we are positive that he is a detective and that he is dangerous, there is a way to stop his operations." His son grinned amiably as he swept his finger across his throat. The old man nodded. "Dangloss suspects more than one of us" ventured Brutus, his gaze travelling toward Olga. There was lewd admiration in that steady glance. "But we'll fool the old fox.
"I'll bet my head 'at inside ten minutes old Dangloss will know who you are, where you come from an' what you're doin' here." "I'll bet fifty heads he won't find out what we're doing here," grinned Anguish, looking at Lorry. "Well, let's hunt up the thirst department."
Then he told of the queer exposure Dangloss had unwittingly made. Lorry, more excited than he cared to show, agreed that there was something very suspicious about this new discovery. They walked about the quaint town for an hour or two, examining the buildings, the people and the soldiery with deep interest.
Count Marlanx, puffing and perspiring, his joints dismayed and his brain confused, rode away at noon with Baron Dangloss. Beverly, quite happy in her complete victory, enjoyed a nap of profound sweetness and then was ready for her walk with the princess.
"I must see Baron Dangloss at once," she cried in English, utterly disdaining her instructions to Baldos. "The baron is engaged at present and can see no one," responded the good-looking young officer in broken English. "Where is he?" she demanded nervously. "He is at the home of Colonel Goaz, the commandant. What is your business with him?"
No one revealed the slightest sign of apprehension arising from the mysterious demonstration in which nature had taken a hand. Truxton King was holding forth, with cynical good humour, for the benefit, if not the edification of Baron Dangloss, with whom he rode Mr. Hobbs galloping behind not unlike the faithful Sancho of another Quixote's day. "It's all tommy-rot, Baron," said Truxton.
"Great Scott!" exclaimed Anguish. "It never rains but it hails, so here's hail to the princes three." "We are the Mecca for runaway royalty, it seems," said Count Halfont. "Go on with the story, Baron Dangloss," cried the princess. "It is like a book." "A description of the young man accompanies the offer of a large reward for information that may lead to his return home for reconciliation.
