Rouletabille stopped in his tracks and declared solemnly: "Monsieur Koupriane, recall what Natacha Feodorovna as she raised her lovely eyes to heaven, replied to her father, when he, also, wished to understand: 'Never."
One telegram from Alexandra Feodorovna read as follows: "Father and Protector of our House, why do you refuse to come and give us comfort? God has given the Romanoffs an heir, and we desire your counsel and your prayers. Do, I beg of you, return to sustain us with your presence. When we met our conversation remained unfinished. I confess that I doubted then, but I now believe.
Natacha Feodorovna is the last word in wickedness and doesn't deserve anybody's pity. She is the accomplice of the revolutionaries and the instigator of all the crimes against her father." "I am sure that you are mistaken, Excellency. But how have you been guided to her?" "Simply by you." "By me?" "Yes, we lost all trace of Natacha.
Sir Reginald, still listening at his telephone, held up his hand for silence. Lady Olivia was still speaking. "Yes, it is quite true," she continued. "You had scarcely been gone an hour, this morning, when he suddenly presented himself in the music-room, where Feodorovna and I were sitting, and called Mlle. Sziszkinski out of the room.
"Did you ever, while in Saint Petersburg or elsewhere, meet a certain Count Vasilovich, Professor?" "Often, my dear; much more often, indeed, than I at all desired," answered the professor. "He is a bad man, Feodorovna; a thorough-going scoundrel, without a single redeeming trait. Has he anything to do with your trouble?"
I needed no second bidding, you may be sure, but snatched up the poor little thing and took her straight down into her own cabin, where excepting for the few moments necessary to release Feodorovna from confinement in her cabin nurse and I have been busy ever since, chafing her poor limbs and soothing her as well as we could.
Alexandra Feodorovna, on having it opened and discovering the insult to her "holy Father," waxed furious. Meanwhile, Rasputin had been discovered, and was at home foaming at the mouth at the indignity. He, "the saviour of Russia," had been thrashed and degraded! At two o'clock that morning he took a car to the palace, and I accompanied him.
Some exceptional service called him, without doubt, very early to the Court. "Why, what are you doing here? You are not yet gone then, Monsieur Roidetabille?" "Politeness before everything, Monsieur le Grand-Marechal! I would not go before saying 'Au revoir' to the Emperor. "Your scheme, doubtless, is to speak to him once more regarding Natacha Feodorovna?" "Not at all.
The final words of that amazing letter, which in itself showed the terms upon which Alexandra Feodorovna was with the convicted horse-stealer from Pokrovsky, were as follows: "Here, O dear Father, we have only the everlasting toll of war! Germany is winning as she will surely win. She must. You will see to that! But we must all of us maintain a brave face towards our Russian public.
"I have for thee letters from her, also letters for thy wife," and from the pocket of his clerical coat he drew four letters, rather crumpled. The Emperor hastily scanned the two which Alexandra Feodorovna had addressed to himself, and I noticed a smile of satisfaction flit across his grey, mobile features.
