Sapt, with a most perfunctory bow to the queen, came straight to where Rudolf stood. "Is he dead?" he asked, without preface. "Yes, Rupert is dead," answered Mr. Rassendyll: "I killed him." "And the letter?" "I burnt it." "And Rischenheim?" The queen struck in. "The Count of Luzau-Rischenheim will say and do nothing against me," she said. Sapt lifted his brows a little.
Had not the king himself desired secrecy? Yes, but he who spoke as the king chose any risk sooner than let Rischenheim go back and warn Rupert of his presence. "Is that the Count of Luzau-Rischenheim?" called Rudolf from within. "If so, let him enter and then shut the door." There was something in his tone that alarmed Rischenheim. He started back on the step.
Pray keep him in a good temper, for all our sakes." And he flung the door open, saying, "Sire, the Count of Luzau-Rischenheim has the honor to wait on your Majesty." With this he shut the door promptly, and stood against it. Nor did he move, save once, and then only to take out his revolver and carefully inspect it. The count advanced, bowing low, and striving to conceal a visible agitation.
One was empty; the Count of Luzau-Rischenheim lay on the other, fully dressed, his right arm supported in a sling of black silk. Rupert paused on the threshold, smiling at his cousin; the girl passed on to a high press or cupboard, and, opening it, took out plates, glasses, and the other furniture of the table. Rischenheim sprang up and ran across the room. "What news?" he cried eagerly.
