The scornful laughter which greeted the reading of the document by Count Halfont did not lose any of its force in the report that the truce-bearers carried, with considerable uneasiness, to the Iron Count later on. No one in the Castle was deceived by Marlanx's promise to provide safe conduct for the Prince.
At this juncture the Prince, gathering from the manner of his ministers that the question was settled to his liking, leaned forward and announced to his uncle, the premier: "I'm tired, Uncle Caspar. How much longer is it?" Count Halfont coughed. "Ahem! Just a few minutes, your Highness. Pray be patient er my little man." Prince Bobby flushed.
In case we conclude to accuse the Prince of Dawsbergen, it must be after careful and judicious thought. There are many things to consider, gentlemen. For my part, I would be overjoyed to seize the villain and to serve him as we did his tools, but my hands are tied, you see. I would suggest that you go at once to the Princess and Count Halfont, tell them of your suspicions "
Dangloss chuckled, an unheard-of condescension on his part. "We shall meet again, Count Marlanx. You were not far wrong in your accusations against me, but you have much to account for in another direction." "This is all a clever trick," cried the Iron Count. "But you shall find me ready to accommodate you when the time comes." At this juncture Lorry and Count Halfont came up with Ravone.
Anguish and the Countess Halfont, she proceeded to devote herself to the task of soothing and amusing the distressed princess while the soldiers of Graustark ransacked the moonlit hills. The night passed, and the next day was far on its way to sunset before the scouts came in with tidings. No trace of the mysterious signalers had been found.
If that gentleman's ears burned in response to the sarcastic comments of the Duke of Perse and Baron Pultz, they probably tingled pleasantly as the result of the stout defence put up by Halfont, Dangloss and others.
It would not be right or just for us to say who shall be their future rulers, for all time to come, without consulting them." "I have no hesitancy in saying that Graustark already idolizes this brave American," said Halfont, warmly. "He has won her affection.
As the Prince strode soberly from the Room of Wrangles, every eye was upon his sturdy little back and there was a kindly light in each of them, bar none. The Duke, following close behind with Halfont, said quietly: "I love him, Caspar. But I have no love for the man he loves so much better than he loves any of us.
We will do it!" "There's a chap named Brutus. I ask special permission to kill him. That's the only request I have to make." "I very strongly oppose the appeal to Grand Duke Paulus. We must act decisively before that alternative is forced upon the unhappy Halfont. It was Perse's scheme, months ago. Perse! Confound him, I believe he has worked all along to aid "
They were near the foot of the staircase when Halfont paused and grasped Lorry's arm. Steadily they looked into each other's eyes. "I admire you more than any man I have ever known," said the Count, huskily, "You are the soul of honor, of courage, of manliness. But, my God, you cannot become the husband of a Princess of Graustark! I need not tell you that, however. You surely must understand."
