Misset walked round the table and deftly picked his pockets. There was a package in one of them superscribed to "Prince Taxis, the Governor of Trent." Misset deliberately broke the seal and read the contents. He handed the package to O'Toole, who read it, and then flinging it upon the ground danced upon it. Misset went out of the room and found Wogan and Gaydon keeping watch by Clementina's door.
"Will you be pleased to remember when next I have an idea that I was right?" "But not for ourselves," added Wogan. O'Toole's face fell. "Oh, we are to hand it on to a third party," said he. "Yes." "Well, after all, that's quite of a piece with our luck." "Who is the third party?" asked Misset. "The King." Misset started up from his chair and leaned forward, his hands upon the arms.
Misset; she would have Wogan give her an account of his interview with Prince Taxis's secretary; she laughed with the merriest enjoyment over his abuse of Charles Wogan. "But it was not myself alone whom I slandered," said he. "Your Highness had a share of our abuse. Our heads wagged gravely over woman's inconstancies. It was not in nature but you must change your mind.
I will keep the enemy back till you are gone. If I can, when all is over here I'll follow you. If I do not come, why, you must " "Ah, but you will come," said she, with a smile. "I have no fears but that you will come;" and she added, "Else would you never persuade me to go." "Well, then, I will come. At all events, Captain Misset and his wife will surely come down the road to-morrow.
"I promised myself that. Not a wink of sleep betwixt Innspruck and Italy; and here was I fast as a log this side of Trent. I think our postillion sleeps too;" and letting down the window he quietly called Misset. "We have fresh relays," said he, "and we travel at a snail's-pace." "The relays are only fresh to us," returned Misset. "We can go no faster.
"You make her safe by seeking safety," returned Wogan. "You are the prey the Emperor flies at. Once you are out of reach, his mere dignity must hold him in from wreaking vengeance on your friends." Wogan went into the inn, and calling Misset told him of his purpose. He would drive her Highness to Peri, a little village ten miles from Ala, but in Italy. At Peri, Mrs.
"I went from Innspruck to Ohlau," said Wogan. "I had some trouble, and the reason of my coming leaked out. The Countess de Berg suspected it from the first. She had a friend, an Englishwoman, Lady Featherstone, who was at Ohlau to outwit me." "Lady Featherstone!" said Misset. "Who can she be?"
My face is known in Trent, though this is the first time ever I saw it. But many gentlemen from Trent came to the Innspruck carnival, and of these a good number were kind enough to offer me their hearts. They were allowed to besiege me to their content. I must needs remain in the shelter of the carriage." Wogan left Misset to stand sentinel, and hurried off upon his business.
Misset and O'Toole exchanged a quick glance, and Misset pushed the glass across the table. The courier took it, and his eyes lighted up. "You have come from Trent," said he. "Did you pass a travelling carriage on the road?" "Yes," said Misset; "the Prince of Baden with a large following drove into Trent as we came out." "Yes, yes," said the courier. "But no second party behind the Prince?"
"I know no woman with the fortitude." "But you do," interrupted O'Toole. "So do I. There's no difficulty whatever in the matter. Mrs. Misset has a maid." "Oho!" said Gaydon. "The maid's name is Jenny." "Aha!" said Wogan. "She's a very good friend of mine." "O'Toole!" cried Misset, indignantly. "My wife's maid a very good friend of yours?"
