You will make me a wrecker of governments a traitor to my duty." The King turned and looked out to sea. "I must think," he said in a tired voice. "Perhaps it is only a matter of time. Delgado is free. Perhaps I shall not have to present him with my throne. Conceivably he may come and take it." Von Ritz approached again and took Karyl's hand.
In the name of God the Compassionate, land and go wheresoever you like." A.Q.: "I think that I had almost rather wait until the Crocodile comes in." H.: "Land! Land! Captain Delgado, get up the cargo and man your boat. Mine too is at the service of these lords. You, Captain, will like to get away by this night's tide.
At that moment there came along one Esteban Delgado, a barber, an enemy to existing government, a jovial plotter against stagnation in any form. This barber was one of Coralio's saddest dogs, often remaining out of doors as late as eleven, post meridian. He was a partisan Liberal; and he greeted Goodwin with flatulent importance as a brother in the cause. But he had something important to tell.
If the vacillation of Louis Delgado could be complemented by the strong ambition of a woman, perhaps he might be almost as serviceable as though the strength were inherent. And Paris knew that Louis worshiped at the shrine of the Countess Astaride. The Countess was therefore worth inspecting.
It is the chief of their settlements on the east coast of Africa. They claim the whole coast from Cape Delgado in the north, situated in about eleven degrees south latitude, to Delagoa Bay, which will be found at about the twenty-sixth degree south latitude; an extent of nine hundred miles in length, but reaching, I fancy, a very little way inland.
He says that he has heard what a great man who are from his friend, Delgado, also that you and Mr. Somers are English, a nation which he adores." "Does he?" I exclaimed. "I should never have thought it from his looks. Thank him for his kind remarks and tell him that we are going to land here and march up country to shoot." This country is not a fit place for such noble gentlemen.
There was a murmur of compliment from the Turk, adding his assurance of interest, and the Frenchman took up the thread of his narrative. "We supposed that Karyl was dead the Throne of Galavia clear for Delgado. Alas, we were in error!" The speaker shook his head in deep regret, as, turning to Martin, he added: "It was a pardonable mistake. Let us hope the announcement was merely premature."
"I have taken the very great liberty," he said, "of making the Duke Louis Delgado an enforced guest on the yacht where he awaits Your Majesty's pleasure." "When the Duke avowed himself to be kidnaped, he committed an error so grave that it can hardly be overestimated." The speaker used the last word as an afterthought. His first inclination was to say, forgiven.
The fastidiously manicured fingers were as tapering and white as her own. "Madame," he observed gravely, "you flatter me. My hand has done nothing. But I do not attribute its failure to its lack of brawn." "Some day," murmured Delgado, from his inert posture in the deep cushions of a divan, "when the time is ripe, I shall strike a decisive blow for the Throne of Galavia."
"But you've got 'em, though," went on Keogh. "And there's Goodwin and Blanchard and Geddie and old Lutz and Doc Gregg and that Italian that's agent for the banana company, and there's old Delgado no; he wears sandals. And, oh, yes; there's Madama Ortiz, 'what kapes the hotel' she had on a pair of red slippers at the baile the other night.
