Had you even a suspicion that Jules De Froilette had been working in his own interests for these two years past, and not in yours?" "True, Frina, we have advanced. Heaven help De Froilette when I touch power. Who knows what injury he may not have done to my cause in these two years? And he has succeeded in drawing this English Captain into his schemes."
Marathon was fought mostly by Athenians, and Alexander was Phillip's son, of Macedonia." "'Zactly," said Jordan. "Athens wur the boss place, wur it not? It had ther best talkers, and best public schools, and wur it not thar thet the woman Frina kept house?" "Yes, Phryne was an Athenian, I believe, a woman of a good model, but not a model woman," said Sedgwick, with a faint smile.
She slipped the box she had shown him underneath some papers in her drawer, and then with a smile reseated herself, and, drawing paper toward her, she rapidly began to write a note to Frina Mavrodin. She rose quickly with a little gesture of surprise when the King and the English Ambassador were announced.
He is a gentleman and a gallant swordsman, and I writhe under the fear that he believes that attack was of my contriving." There was the genuine ring of truth in the Baron's words. Frina Mavrodin was not surprised. She believed that she thoroughly understood him, or would not have visited him. "You would befriend Captain Ellerey were it in your power?" she questioned.
He knew nothing of the tale which had been told concerning the Countess. Frina had closed the door and stood beside them, but she did not speak. As Ellerey turned and showed that he had no other question to ask Dumitru, she led the way back, but at the door of her room she paused. "You have come to protect the Princess, Captain Ellerey. You are welcome.
They were subtly hidden, well devised to catch a schemer; but, being innocent, they failed to ensnare me." "We ourselves have eyes, Countess; it is not necessary that the British Ambassador should see for us." "No, your Majesty; but we, the Court, sometimes fancy that he attempts to take that duty upon himself," Frina answered. "Then you will not help me, Countess?" said the King with a smile.
"The moment the token is given I must know," said Maritza. "I have a plan. I have had plenty of lonely hours in which to mature plans. I am longing to put them into action. We are too cautious, Frina." "Your want of caution in going openly into the city has nearly ruined us, Maritza." "I have many friends in the city." "True, and many enemies; and it is the enemies who happen to be in power.
The days of waiting are ever the longest days to live through, and the hours had dragged heavily for Frina Mavrodin since Baron Petrescu had started for the hills. Hardly anyone saw her except Hannah, and the old serving woman pitied her, judging her distress by her own.
It was I, Captain Ellerey, who ran with you along the deserted streets from the Altstrasse that night; it was I who, when only numbers had succeeded in binding you, came and looked into your eyes and was satisfied." "Yet you didn't trust me enough to whisper your name," said Ellerey. "At Court you came under the influence of Frina Mavrodin," she went on hastily.
"Quickly, Captain," said Stefan. "Go, go!" Frina cried. "You must be with her. She will need all your love and courage to-day." "But you what will you do?" "I, too, may find a way to help her." He caught her hand and raised it to his lips. "God keep you," he whispered. "And you, Desmond." Then he sprang to the window. "Do I come?" asked Stefan. "No," Ellerey answered.
