'That is well, for you are about to present them. The Duke lies practically in my power at this moment, Count Simon continued grimly. 'Gustave is a coward. The way to his presence lies open, and I think you will agree with me that his Highness of Maäsau will consent to most things rather than look the fear of death in the eyes! 'There must be no violence, Elmur began.
Let us hope she'll never meet with worse at the hands of her own husband. 'I join in the hope, my lord, since I am to be that most fortunate man! It was not the most felicitous moment, but Elmur was aware that in no other way could he assure Valerie's safety against the treachery of his colleague. Sagan fell back a step. 'So the wind blows from that quarter?
'The Guard keep their falsehoods for outsiders, I suppose? Unziar liked this harping upon Rallywood less and less. He moved irritably. 'But that is not all. You have admitted that you are going to marry Elmur. That also signifies something. 'Whatever it signifies, it does not signify that I am disloyal to Maäsau. 'You have seen for yourself that there is a change here at Sagan, argued Unziar.
An ambassador is esteemed in just the same degree as the country he represents. If his country triumph he triumphs also. 'In this case I might point out that your personal success, the Chancellor said airily, 'would be the best, shall I say the only possible, preliminary to the success of the mission with which his Imperial Majesty has charged you. Elmur drew in his lips slightly.
Elmur, standing near by, filled his glass and drank, with a silent nod at Unziar. 'I shall be delighted to assist you in settling the question, returned Rallywood; then, consulting his card, he added, I find I have an engagement for the last dance, some twenty minutes hence. May I recommend the interval to your consideration?
'Then' Elmur laid a hand on the old man's shoulder, but Sagan shook it off 'then, Captain Colendorp, he must go to make room for another who can better fill his place! Just as Wallenloup must go to give room to another and less obstructive chief. Colendorp's dark eyes glared straight in front of him.
'It is nothing to me who picks up what I have thrown away. With this rebuff to Rallywood she placed her hand upon the German's, as if to ask him to lead her from the room, and added 'You wish for an introduction? Then allow me to present you to each other. His excellency the Baron von Elmur. She paused, and her eyes dwelt for a moment on Rallywood's.
Our State is more elastic in its laws than yours. I cannot foresee what will happen to him in mine! replied Selpdorf smiling. 'There is but one thing that could happen to him under military law in any country. He will be shot! said Elmur pleasantly, then added with a sudden uncontrolled irritation, 'And that too is picturesque. The Chancellor spread out his hands.
In the meanwhile, his despatches will be forwarded to you if you will select a safe person to meet the Count's messenger beyond the river. Later you can return them to Major Counsellor and score a point by the act. Selpdorf made no comment, but changed the subject. 'I have had a little talk with my daughter. Elmur laid down his pen and his impassive air became more marked than ever.
'The only difficulty would be to find a nation sufficiently disinterested for our purpose, my lord, replied Colendorp deliberately. 'I have found one. Sagan indicated Elmur, but the Guardsman still kept his gaze on the Count. 'Only one small obstacle stands in the way of carrying out our plans the plans, recollect, of the wisest and most patriotic of our countrymen. I need not name it.
