I'll have Miss Smith back again and send these letters off." "Good!" the Duke declared. "I'm going down to the House, but I don't suppose there'll be anything doing. By the bye, we shall have to be a little feudal next week. Japan is a country of many ceremonies, and, after all, Maiyo is one of the Royal Family. I have written Perkins, to stir him up a little."
"Here under this roof," the Baron continued, "is sanctuary, but in the streets and squares beyond, it seems to me and I have thought this over many times, it seems to me that even the person of the great Prince, cousin of the Emperor, holy son of Japan, would not be safe." Prince Maiyo shrugged his shoulders.
They kept us far enough away from the fighting, when they could, but, by Jove, they did make us move!" "We are waiting now for Prince Maiyo," the Duchess remarked. "You know him?" "Know him!" the General answered. "Duchess, if ever I have to write my memoirs, and particularly my reminiscences of this war, I fancy you would find the name of your friend appear there pretty frequently.
"Only a few nights ago," he said, "Captain Koki and the other attaches spent an evening with me. We have charts and pieces, and with locked doors we played a war game of our own invention. It should all be over in three weeks." Prince Maiyo laughed softly. "You are right," he said. "I have gone over the ground myself. It could be done in even less time.
"I want to know how Japan became assured that America had no intention of going to war with her. In other words, I want to know whether those papers which were stolen from Fynes and poor Dicky found their way to the Japanese Embassy or into the hands of Prince Maiyo himself." "Anything else?" she asked with a faint note of sarcasm in her tone. "Yes," Mr. Harvey replied, "there is something else.
"Not a soul," his wife answered, "except Sir Charles. I had to ask him, of course, for Penelope." "Naturally," the Duke assented. "I am glad Penelope will be there. I only wish that she were English instead of American, and that Maiyo would take a serious fancy to her." "Perhaps," the Duchess said dryly, "you would like him to take a fancy to Grace?"
The Ambassador bowed, and escorted her to the door. "I have confidence in you, Penelope," he said. "You will try your best?" "Oh, yes!" she answered with a queer little laugh, "I shall do that. But I don't think that even you quite understand Prince Maiyo!" The perfume of countless roses, the music of the finest band in Europe, floated through the famous white ballroom of Devenham House.
Perhaps that was one of the reasons why Prince Maiyo was just then, amongst certain circles, one of the most popular persons in Society. "My dear Duchess," he said, "my indisposition was nothing. And as for your climate, I am beginning to delight in it, one never knows what to expect, or when one may catch a glimpse of the sun. It is only the grayness which is always the same."
The 3 of February wee departed from this Iland, and the same day fell with another Iland called the Iland of Maiyo, which is 14 leagues from the other Iland: there is in the midst of the way between these two Ilands a danger which is alwayes to be seene.
I take it that your mind is made up, you have arrived at definite conclusions?" "Absolutely." Prince Maiyo answered. "I shall make no great secret of them. You already, my dear Baron, know, I think, whither they lead. I shall be unpopular for a time, I suppose, and your own position may be made a little difficult. After that, things will go on pretty much the same.
