"You may 'Ah! all you wish, but I am going to marry that girl, in spite of her refusal." "And how is that to be accomplished if you have not the young lady's consent?" Spencer thrust his hands deep into his pockets and faced von Fincke resolutely. "She idolizes her father; his word is law to her." "And you have his consent to the match?"
The time is not ripe for threats, Spencer. The invention is not yet completed; until it is no threats. We must not kill the goose before the golden egg is laid." "Washn't makin' threats," stammered Spencer, startled by the angry gleam in his companion's eyes. "Now, don't get mad, von Fincke, think of all I've done in that Mex "
"Your friend, Captain von Mueller, has won many friends during his sojourn in Washington." "A brilliant man; he will go far." Hartzmann rubbed his hands with satisfaction. "His work in England will not be forgotten. He has courage, and the instinct of the hunter; he never blunders." "High praise," said von Fincke.
"Our agents have opened headquarters in New York. We hope to destroy by means of fire bombs British ships clearing from American ports." "If that is accomplished, it will lend material aid to our war zone policy," exulted von Fincke. "And later on we hope to establish the American seaports as bases for a fleet of naval auxiliaries, loaded with supplies for our swift submarines and cruisers.
I hoped that you would get my note in time." "I found it on my return to the hotel. Hartzmann, well met." Von Mueller returned the older man's firm clasp. "It is some years...." "Years? What are they when old friends foregather," exclaimed Hartzmann. "Let us sit and talk." "Wait, wait," remonstrated von Fincke.
"Who is the man glaring at us from the end of the table?" "Baron Frederic von Fincke." Her manner was barely civil and that was all. Under his heavy eyebrows Miller's eyes snapped. She should talk to him, and he squared his broad shoulders. "I have already met the young girl sitting next him," he said, "and who is her dinner partner?" "Captain Edwin Sayre, United States Army."
The reserve fleet will be missing." "Will the President review the fleet?" "It is so believed, Herr Captain." Von Fincke, who had been silently eyeing his companions, stood up. "Would that not give us an opportunity to bottle up the fleet in the North River by slipping down one of our biggest ocean steamers and sinking her in the channel?" "It might be done," but Hartzmann looked doubtful.
The oversight worried him, and he was about to attempt to dodge the dancers and cross the room in search of Kathleen when Baron von Fincke stopped and addressed him. "She is very beautiful, your Miss Whitney," he said slowly. His English was not fluent "But she has not the tact of her pretty mother.
"I started to, sir, but seeing you walking with Baron von Fincke down Massachusetts Avenue, sir, I...." Henry's eyes wavered and fell before Miller's scrutiny. "Followed me?" prompted the latter, bending forward. "Only a little way" quickly. "I did not like to intrude, sir, and by following hoped to get a chance to give you Miss Kathleen's package and note.
"Americans are an emotional people," commented a quiet voice at his elbow, and turning hastily Miller recognized Baron Frederic von Fincke. "One death more or less does not create a furore elsewhere." "That depends on who dies," retorted Miller. "True. If it should be a member of the Imperial Family" Von Fincke's gesture was eloquent. "To them, all give way. We others are pawns."
