They were, therefore, now prepared to place the most implicit confidence in him, and to hail him as a leader in the enterprise Don Josef had projected. The Spaniard had been giving him an exact account of all the information he had received, and of the plans he had formed. Ronald thought them excellent; there was, however, no time to be lost.
Finding pride insufficient for her solace, she now, womanlike, sought what she had refused. The entrance of Josef, at this juncture, however, and the resumption of the journey, deprived Carter of what had been the most propitious moment he had yet had to bind her heart indissolubly to his own.
The arrangement being speedily made, for extra help and security Johann fetched his younger brother, Josef, as a companion, and the little party started by torchlight at two o'clock in the morning. Jakob now produced a telescope, through which he hoped we might detect moving figures amongst the snow of the Wild Gall.
Frankh was a careful and strict teacher; Josef not only was taught to sing well, but learned much about various instruments. He had school lessons also. But his life in other ways was hard and cheerless. The wife of his cousin treated him with the utmost indifference, never looking after his clothing or his well being in any way.
"There can't be much choice in cocoons. Most of them look alike, except that some are bigger than others." Josef regarded the boy a moment and then laughed. "Don't be too cock-sure of that!" he retorted ironically.
Valla had assured him that he could rely on him for any service; and Varhely left Vienna, certain that he should find Manin's old minister at Florence.

"But I thought," said the puzzled Carter, "that you were the only descendant of Augustus." "I am." The little head was raised in imperial pride.
I will come straight back from the embassy and then go with Josef to the police." The next moment I was adrift in Berlin. Outside darkness had fallen. I had a vague suspicion that the house might be watched, but I found the Bendler-Strasse quite undisturbed.
"I shall rejoin the party at Vienna. You may call me when we arrive. Not before." He turned his back upon the discomfited Josef. Carter, on reentering the car, braced himself to render an acceptable yet plausible excuse for Stovik's absence. The Countess Muhlen-Sarkey was placidly sleeping in the corner. Trusia was sitting with palm-propped chin, gazing straight out of the window.
"He was my friend," the American said, as though no further explanation could be demanded. "He was their quarry," retorted Josef vehemently. "Else why the questions to Posner and attempts to bribe, the fortune in bills, the name written significantly across the capital's, the city where to friends and foes he was best known.
