The principal personage who has been mentioned, the giver of the fete, and to whom General Kissoff had been speaking in that tone of respect with which sovereigns alone are usually addressed, wore the simple uniform of an officer of chasseurs of the guard.
He marched with a rapid step, scarcely drawn by the cord which tied him. He was still "the Man of Iron," of whom General Kissoff had spoken to the Czar! The next day, the 11th of September, the detachment passed through the village of Chibarlinskoe. Here an incident occurred which had serious consequences. It was nightfall. The Tartar horsemen, having halted, were more or less intoxicated.
This was why the Czar, to the communication made to him for the second time by General Kissoff, had answered by the words, "A courier this moment!" The Czar remained motionless at the window for a few moments, when the door was again opened. The chief of police appeared on the threshold. "Enter, General," said the Czar briefly, "and tell me all you know of Ivan Ogareff."
Moreover, tempered by snow like a Damascus blade in the waters of Syria, he had a frame of iron, as General Kissoff had said, and, what was no less true, a heart of gold.
