The French, on the other hand, had little sympathy with a German prince who, having hired his sword to the republic of the United States, had now come in search of a new allegiance, to offer his services to imperial Mexico's Austrian ruler.

It was nine-nine and one-fifth. "That's not bad," said Barney. "Margaret, I must go. It's for 'Mexico's' life. Yes, and more." Margaret turned slightly pale. "You know best, Barney," she said, "but it may be your life, you know." "Yes," he replied gravely. "I take that chance. But I think I ought to take it, don't you?" But Margaret refused to speak. "What do you think, Margaret?" he asked.
