"It is nothing," another muttered. "Maignan was playing tricks, your excellency, and cut Diego's hand a little; that is all." "Cut his hand now!" I exclaimed angrily "And the King about to play with him. Let me see it!" Diego sulkily held up his hand, and I saw a cut, ugly but of no importance. "Pooh!" I said; "it is nothing. Get some plaister.
A small number of armed men were sent to reconnoitre the mountains near Diego's home. The hunt was kept up for two days; but nothing was found except the tracks of the Indian in the soft mud of the river, and a circle of ashes, the remains of a small fire.
Lady Exeter was aware of the loss she had sustained, and uttered a stifled cry; but this was attributed to the fright natural to the occasion by Lord Roos, who had not noticed what had taken place, and only caused him to hurry Diego's departure.
