That fool Saxe Leinitzer will stroke his beastly moustache, and smile at me out of the corners of his eyes. The Dorset woman, too bah, I shall go away. What is it, Annette?" "His Highness the Prince of Saxe Leinitzer has called, milady." "Called! Does he regard this as a call?" she exclaimed, glancing towards the clock. "Tell him, Annette, that your mistress does not receive at such an hour.
"If there was one person living whom I could have sworn that this man dared not visit, it was our Emperor," the Prince said. "It is only a few years since, through this man's intrigues, Germany was shamed before the world." "And yet," Lady Carey said sweetly, "the Emperor has received him." "I have private intelligence from Berlin," Saxe Leinitzer answered. "Mr.
Sabin said, "though Saxe Leinitzer is our enemy, I am not sure that he can do us any harm. If he declines to release you well, when the twelve months are up you are free whether he wishes it or not. He has put me outside the pale. But this is not, or never was, a vindictive Society. They do not deal in assassinations. In this country at least anything of the sort is rarely attempted.
If you will allow me I will wish you good-night." She made her way into the ball-room, and found the Prince of Saxe Leinitzer, who was just leaving. "Do you know where Lucille is?" she asked. He looked up at her sharply. "Where?" "At the Carlton Hotel with him." He rose to his feet with slow but evil promptitude. His face just then was very unlike the face of an angel. Lady Carey laughed aloud.
Her lips were parted in a smile of good-natured scorn. "Don't be absurd, Saxe Leinitzer. It is true that I love intrigue, excitement and danger. That is what made me join your Order, and really I have had quite a little excitement out of it, for which I suppose I ought to thank you. But as for the rest, why, you are talking rubbish.
"You are joking, Prince," he exclaimed. "I regret to say," the Prince answered, "that you will find it very far from a joking matter." Mr. Sabin was suddenly stern. "Prince of Saxe Leinitzer," he said, "you are a coward and a bully." The Prince started forward with clenched fist. Mr. Sabin had no weapon, but he did not flinch.
"Now I really believe," he said gently, "that she meant to be rude. Partner, I declare hearts!" Felix was standing out from the next table whilst his hand was being played by General Dolinski, his partner. He drew her a little on one side. "Do not irritate Saxe Leinitzer," he whispered. "Remember, everything must rest with him.
"My good people," he said blandly, "I wish you all a very good-morning." There was a little murmur of greetings, and before they had all subsided the Duke spoke. "Saxe Leinitzer," he said, "I have a few questions to ask you." The Prince looked across the room at him. "By all means, Duke," he said. "But is the present an opportune time?"
The Emperor struck a bell and gave a few orders to the young officer who immediately answered it. Then he turned again to Mr. Sabin. "I have summoned Saxe Leinitzer to Berlin," he said. "These matters shall be gone into most thoroughly. In the meantime what can I do for you?" "We will await the coming of the Prince," Mr. Sabin answered grimly.
Sabin smiled. "I am not jealous," he said softly, "of the Prince of Saxe Leinitzer!" As though attracted by the mention of his name, which must, however, have been unheard by him, the Prince at that moment turned round and looked for a moment towards them. He shot a quick glance at Lady Carey. Almost at once she rose from her chair and came across to them.
