Canfield really did great work for me while he held that position, and I must not neglect to give him credit for it. O'Malley, Coyle, the St. Cyrs and Canfield were really therefore the several component parts of my immediate staff and those five were the only persons among all my hundreds of workers who knew Dubravnik to be their chief; and it is a perfectly safe statement to say that in all St.
Then recollection came, for I heard your voice. It recalled to me my senses. I remembered who Dubravnik was. Is it not strange that I should have forgotten? Even for a moment, is it not strange that I should have forgotten?" "No, dear, no," I replied. "Then I found the sword, in the snow. I remembered that I wanted to kill Durnief, and I put the point against his back.
I shall have the pleasure of meeting you often, Dubravnik, for I understand that you are frequently at the palace." "Shall you be there?" I asked. "Yes; I am detailed to the palace guard. Have you enjoyed the evening here?" "Hugely." "Of course you have met the princess frequently." Durnief had a way of half closing his eyes when he talked.
"Dubravnik?" she said, in a low tone, as if she were not convinced; but I did not speak again; and the captain also remained silent. Minutes, which seemed like hours, passed in another deathlike silence, broken only by the panting of Durnief. I wondered if Zara had fainted, or had gone for help, or what! There seemed to be no good reason for the silence, and the waiting.
She came and stood quite near to me, and with infinite scorn, impossible to describe, she said slowly: "I think our interview is at an end, Mr. Dubravnik, for there is evidently nothing to be gained by it. I much prefer to choose my friends among those whom you call assassins, than from frequenters of the palace if the others are like you." I rose also, and bowed coldly.
"Dubravnik," she said, and you can have no idea how sweetly that name was made to sound by her utterance of it, "I have not yet completed the story I was telling you; but there is only a little more, and you must hear it." "Yes," I replied. "As you will, Zara. I am content. But need we go more deeply into the sorrows of that poor girl and her suffering brother?
"Having heard what you did knowing, as you do, my secret unwilling as I know you are, to betray me, what do you propose, Mr. Dubravnik?" I replied deliberately. "I have thought of joining the nihilists, but I have reconsidered the question as impracticable. Therefore, I have decided that you must leave Russia." "I? Leave Russia? Ordered away by you?" "Yes, princess."
I will await you there, Dubravnik," he added, and the glance that he cast upon me made me wonder if I had not, perhaps, trusted or, rather, tried this chivalrous man too far, in taking the princess to his house.
She raised her hand and pointed toward the window. "Out there, Dubravnik, death waits for you. I had forgotten. I had forgotten." With a start she gained her feet and stood for a moment palpitatingly uncertain, clasping and unclasping her hands, while her bosom rose and fell in this stress of an utterly new emotion. One whom she loved was threatened, now.
"Zara, did you love Stanislaus?" She sighed deeply. She raised her eyes to mine, and she stretched forth a tentative hand for me to clasp, and hold. My touch gave her a sense of personal protection. "How you probe the innermost secrets of one's heart, Dubravnik," she smiled at me. "I will tell you the truth, and the whole truth.
