Granger shook his head, and instinctively stood back a pace from this leaden-eyed, unresponsive stranger, who had been his friend. Spurling was quick to notice the revulsion. "And are you going to desert me and turn me out?" "Desert you! If you knew how lonely I have been you wouldn't ask that question."

Flamby, I tell you that the Hohenzollerns are a haunted race, ruling a haunted land, doomed and cursed.
