I am so stupid about the names of your different counties. But I agree with him that family is not everything, and that clothes make the gentleman. He tells me that he gets all of his clothes from the same tailor as the Duke. Do you get your clothes in London, Mr. Edestone?"
These are times that try men's souls, and you are now dealing with men who must win." They had arrived on the stroke of the hour, and Edestone was quickly taken in charge and shown without a moment's delay into the presence of General von Lichtenstein. The General was a man whose age was impossible to tell. He was over sixty, but how much over one found it hard to estimate.
He was brave, but unlike Edestone his was the bravery of an unthinking recklessness rather than that of a perfectly balanced mind which, contemptuous of the body that carries it, forces that body to do its bidding. The fact that Edestone had offered him an unheard of reward had made little impression, going in one ear and out of the other.
"Oh, that does not amount to anything," said Edestone. "It will be well in a week. Have you seen the morning papers?" With a smile he handed him a sheet on which was printed all the news of the day which the wireless man had picked up during the night. "The United States has not been heard from," he commented as he glanced it over.
My sister, Princess Billy, is almost in tears and hysterical. She insisted upon seeing your pictures because she said that you were an old friend of hers she had met on the steamer coming over from America." Accepting, Edestone smiled as he thought of the undignified manner of their meeting, and was taken in charge by the young man.
To his surprise, moreover, the Colonel and two of the cavalry-men accompanied him to the door of his apartment. "Mr. Edestone," said the Royal Equerry, "I am sorry, but my orders are to place a sentry at your door. You are not of course to consider yourself in any sense a prisoner, but an honoured guest whose safety is of paramount importance.
You are fast losing the respect of the other nations by your present methods, always looking after your own pocket-books while the rest of the world is bleeding to death." Edestone was thoughtful, and appeared to have no answer for this, and Lindenberry reverted to his request. "If you really want to have an interview with Lord Rockstone, Jack, I think I can possibly arrange it.
God certainly gave you confidence in yourself." "There is nothing very strange about that," replied Edestone. "As I understand it, the only thing that they have against the Duke of Windthorst is that he was dining with Rebener and myself, and were I to state that at no time during the dinner had he shown any disloyalty to his King and country, it might do a little good.
They will take her dead, now that they cannot get her alive, and they hope to be able to put new life into her after they have taken all life out with the 'long distance telephone attachments, as you call them." "Why is he so certain that you will not drop bombs on his city?" asked Lawrence. "I do not know," replied Edestone, "unless he knows that I am more of a gentleman than he is.
They had also seen with powerful glasses that, in certain parts of the city there was great activity of some kind, but they were unable to ascertain exactly what it was. "I cannot understand," frowned Edestone, "how they can possibly decline a proposition pour parler. I asked them to agree to nothing.
