'But we are going back to Révonde in a day or two, and then I will wipe out the remembrance of everything that has happened at Sagan from my mind forever! Elmur was about to reply when Sagan spoke again. 'No one appears to have heard or seen anything of Captain Colendorp. We will have the dogs out, Captain Rallywood.
Captain Rallywood, tell my father of Count Sagan's visit to the Duke's rooms in the middle of the night with Baron von Elmur. I we, Isolde and I heard the shots. You do not know it, but there is a plot. Your life is not safe! Captain Rallywood is right; no life that stands in Count Sagan's way is safe!
Yet all the richness and delicacy of the blended colourings struck Rallywood with only one odd remembrance his own boot-heel outlined in Révonde mud upon a long suède glove. The same association apparently occurred to Baron von Elmur. His glance fled from Valerie to Rallywood, and he smiled with some malice. 'What have we here, Mademoiselle? The stamp of some idealised cavalry charger? he asked.
'Take my arm, Mademoiselle, I beg of you, von Elmur bent his head, speaking urgently: 'I am aware that his August Impertinence well deserved your rebuke! But many heard it, and by some a sinister construction has been put upon it. For your father's sake, will you condescend to listen to me?
His feeble legs failed, he stumbled forward and pitched into the arms of Elmur, who set him upright with a gentle skilfulness that almost cheated the eyes of the spectators. The Duke, slightly shaken, and exceedingly annoyed, turned upon the girl: 'Mademoiselle grows proud! 'Forgive me, sire; I did not dream that you would stoop so low! rejoined the girl, with apparent humility.
An attendant intercepted the German before he regained the hall, after leaving Valerie with Madame de Sagan. 'My lord desires to speak with your Excellency, he said. Elmur frowned.
'But he fights the better because he is a sinner. 'He is not to be tempted, then. But he is in love with Mdlle. Selpdorf with your future wife, and she must blind him. A man in love is easily blinded. 'And Rallywood? asked Elmur. 'We don't want Rallywood, rejoined Sagan, with an odd glance at Elmur. 'I can manage him, if you will leave him to me. Elmur smiled.
'I wonder how Baron von Elmur would like to hear that his future wife was not ashamed to declare her love for another man! retorted Isolde. 'I mean to tell him. 'No, no, Valerie, don't! exclaimed Madame de Sagan, whose weakness exuded very often in a sort of kind-heartedness, 'I should not tell him. Such a confidence is apt to turn sour in a husband's memory.
You are mistaken; I have had a great deal to do with them. I know all that Captain Rallywood has said to you yes, I had a right to know. For it was I who brought Major Counsellor to the Duke's apartments at the Castle, because I knew there was a plot against his Highness. But I did not know it was a German plot in which Baron von Elmur was using Count Sagan.
'I go to get it and other things also. I have arranged the interview with Selpdorf. Elmur bowed and returned to his place by the side of the Countess. Isolde's blue eyes, dewy as a child's with unshed tears, appealed to him. 'It is not true? Elmur reflected that he had never before seen her look so pretty.
