Misset let him go and turned with a gesture of despair to Wogan. "I poured my flask out into the water-bottle. It was full of burnt Strasbourg brandy, of double strength. It is as potent as opium. Neither of them will have his wits before to-morrow. It will not help us to leave O'Toole to guard the courier." "And we cannot take him," said Wogan. "There is the Princess to be thought of.
Misset and her husband were to rejoin them in the morning, and from Peri they could travel by slow stages to Bologna. The tears flowed from Clementina's eyes when she took her farewell of her little woman. Though her reason bowed to Wogan's argument, she had a sense of cowardice in deserting so faithful a friend. Mrs.
"We four against a nation, against half Europe!" O'Toole simply crossed to a corner of the room, picked up his sword and buckled it to his waist. "I am ready," said he. Wogan turned round in his chair and smiled. "I know that," said he. "So are we all all ready; is not that so, my friends? We four are ready." And he looked to Misset and to Gaydon.
"Her Highness will breakfast here, no doubt?" said Gaydon. "Misset will have seen to it," cried Wogan, "that the berlin is furnished. We can breakfast as we go." They waited no more than ten minutes at Nazareth. The order of travelling was now changed. Wogan and Gaydon now travelled in the berlin with Mrs. Misset and Clementina.

"I am the thirstiest man in all Germany," said he, and he took a gulp of the wine and immediately fell to spluttering. "Save us," said he, "but this wine is devilishly strong."

"Her Highness, the Princess's mother, insists that a woman shall attend upon her daughter, and where shall we find a woman with the courage and the strength?" "I have thought of that," said Wogan. "Misset has a wife. By the luckiest stroke in the world Misset took a wife this last spring." There was at once a complete silence.
"Drive on," replied Wogan, through his clenched teeth. Upon the other side of the carriage, Misset shouted through the window, "There is a spring by the roadside." "Drive on," said Wogan. Gaydon touched him on the arm. "You will stifle her, man." Wogan woke to a comprehension of his attitude, and placed Clementina back on her seat. Mrs.
Gaydon had, besides his joy at the rescue of Clementina, a private satisfaction that matters which were none of his business had had no uncomfortable issue. Misset, too, was thankful for that his wife had come safely to the journey's end.
