The stove, with much labor and much expenditure of time and care, was hoisted into this, and August would have grown sick and giddy with the heaving and falling if his big brothers had not long used him to such tossing about, so that he was as much at ease head, as feet, downward. The stove once in it safely with its guardians, the big boat moved across the lake to Leoni.
The King was silent. "Leoni!" he exclaimed at length. "I am faint with hunger. Is there no place near where we can get food?" "There is a farm we passed a little lower down, Sire," replied Leoni; "but we dared not stay for fear the pursuers might be searching either bank." "Let them search and find if they will," cried the King. "I must have refreshment before I do more."
"My name, your Majesty?" said the stranger quietly. "What!" cried the King. "You know who I am?" "As well as your Majesty knows his faithful servant," came now in familiar tones. "Master Leoni!" cried all three, in a breath, the King's voice sounding loudest of all.
And Leoni snatched the cloak which Denis had thrown on a chair and wrapped it round the King. "We will start at once, sir." "Yes," said Francis, "we will start at once at once." And he leaned heavily on Leoni's arm, while the latter drew the heavily plumed hat which the boy handed him lower over the King's features. Denis accompanied them to the door. "Farewell," he said.
I was helping my father's visitor just now, and I am afraid I have hurt him a great deal. His shoulder is hurt, and he tells me that it has not been treated by a leech." "Hurt?" cried Leoni, speaking quickly. "I did not know of this. Why did you not tell me last night?" "Oh, I didn't think," said Denis.
I always feel that Master Leoni could kill anyone just as he pleased." "Of course you believe in magic?" said Carrbroke. "I don't know. I suppose I do," replied Denis. "I do," said Carrbroke; "and your friend seems so different from other men. Look at his eye." "Oh, I never do if I can help it," said Denis. "You've noticed it, then?" "Noticed it?" cried Carrbroke. "Who could help it?
"Yes, Sire," said that individual, just loud enough for the young man to hear. "This must be done with guile." Denis's eyes flashed. "Pardon, Sire," he cried eagerly. "You might go in disguise." And the next moment the boy's heart swelled within his breast, for the King slapped him heartily on the shoulder. "Good!" he cried. "That's it! Do you hear, Leoni? That's the idea: I'll go in disguise."
"We must act at once," he said, as they joined him and he gazed at a narrow window through which the moonlight came. "Our King is in danger of his life." Denis's hand went to his sword. "We will fight to the last," he said, "and die." "Boy!" exclaimed Leoni contemptuously. "Fight and die! Better act with craft and live. What! Would you fight an army? Bah!
"He is better, then?" cried Denis, springing up as Leoni entered; and then he looked wonderingly at Leoni, who stood perfectly still, rapt of manner and silent, gazing fixedly at him with that expressionless stony eye, while with the other he seemed to be looking Saint Simon through and through.
He went on ship-board With those bold voyagers, who made discovery Of golden lands: Leoni's younger brother Went likewise, and when he returned to Spain, He told Leoni, that the poor mad youth, Soon after they arrived in that new world, In spite of his dissuasion, seized a boat, And all alone set sail by silent moonlight, Up a great river, great as any sea, And ne'er was heard of more: but 'tis supposed, He lived and died among the savage men.
