Well, I didn't, but I hope the agreement goes just the same. And I'll stick to what I said. I'll get the other one married off. It may take a little time, but I think I can find some one." "Find some one?" cried Jeneka indignantly. "Find some one?" repeated her father. "She has been sought by every young man of quality in the whole kingdom. How dare you suggest that "
It's a most extraordinary incident." "I wouldn't marry one of them now, not if he begged and my father commanded!" said Kalora bitterly. "And poor Jeneka! This takes away her last chance. Until I am married she can not marry, and after to-day not even a blind man would choose me." "For goodness' sake, don't worry! You tell me you are nineteen.
Then he paused, for he was beginning to comprehend that young Mr. Pike had stepped in and saved him, and that, instead of rebuking Mr. Pike, he should be weeping on his breast and calling him "son." Jeneka came to her senses at the same moment, for she saw her dream of five years coming true. She knew that soon she would be the Countess Muldova. Mr.
The Governor-General, waiting impatiently up the hallway, heard the prolonged buzzing and came to investigate. He found the adorable Jeneka, all trembling with indignation, in the doorway. She saw him and pointed.
He looked and saw the distinguished stranger, the man of many titles and unbounded wealth, standing close to the slim princess, holding both her hands and beaming upon her with all of the unmistakable delirious happiness of love's young dream. "What does it mean?" asked the Governor-General. "Is it possible " "He was rude to me," began Jeneka, "He was most insulting " Mr.

Mr. Pike wasted no time in circumlocution. During this hurried interview Jeneka had been holding a determined thumb against the electric button.
Whereas Jeneka would recline for hours at a time on a shaded veranda, munching sugary confections that were loaded with nutritious nuts, Kalora showed a far-western preference for pickles and olives, and had been detected several times in the act of bribing servants to bring this contraband food into the harem. Worse still, she insisted upon taking exercise.
Pike suddenly felt himself caressed by three happy mortals. "I shall make you a Knight of the Gleaming Scimitar," said the Governor-General. "I have the authority." "Thanks," replied Mr. Pike. "And we can have a double wedding," exclaimed Jeneka, whose ecstasy was almost apoplectic. "We shall be married in Washington," said Kalora decisively.
"I have heard of romantic young women jumping overboard and taking poison on account of rich young men, but I never heard of a girl's snuffing herself out so as to give her sister a chance to get married. The thing for you to do at a time like this, when you find yourself in a tangle, is to think of yourself and your own chances for happiness. Father and Jeneka will take care of themselves.
My presence certainly would remind him of the wreck of all his ambitions, but if I should settle down in Vienna or Paris, or " she paused and gave a little gasp "or if anything should happen to me, if I should should disappear, that is, really disappear, Jeneka would be free to marry and " "Oh, pickles!" said Mrs. Plumston.
