Her command fell on ears of stone. Von Mitter made no sign that he heard her. "Take care, Monsieur," she warned; "I am mistress here. If you will not obey me, my officers will." "Madame, I acknowledge no mistress save the daughter of the king. No one shall pass this door to announce your presence to Monseigneur."
It is I who must find this treasure, this fulcrum to the lever which is going to upheave France. There will be no difficulty then in pricking the pretty bubble. In the meantime we shall proceed to Munich and carefully inquire into the affairs of the grand opera singer, Hildegarde von Mitter." He extracted a wallet from an inner pocket and opened it across his knees. It was full of butterflies.
"Lieutenant von Mitter?" cried Maurice, dropping the dog, who by now had grasped the meaning of it all. "You came just in time!" They shook hands. "I'll lay odds that you put up a good fight," the Lieutenant said, pleasantly. "Curse these students! If I had my way I'd coop them all up in their pest-hole of a university and blow them into eternity."
Whoever and whatever he was, he had not shot his bolt soon enough. Hildegarde von Mitter. He stopped against the rail. The yacht was burying her nose now, and the white drift from her cut-water seemed strangely luminous as it swirled obliquely away in the fading twilight. Hildegarde von Mitter. Was she to be the flaw in the chain?
"Monsieur," said the Voice, "I thank you with all my heart for your gallant service. Poor, poor dog!" "It was nothing, your Highness; any man would have done the same thing." The red in the wheel-spokes bothered his eyes. "No, no! you must not belittle it." "If it had not been for Lieutenant von Mitter " "Whither were you going, Monsieur?" interrupted the Voice.
I recollect how, as the pair of us, one day, were coming out of the estate offices on the ground floor, after a conquering expedition against the officers, we came across the editor of "The National Paper," Nabagopal Mitter, who had just stepped into the house. My brother tackled him without further ado: "Look here, Nabagopal Babu! won't you listen to a poem which Rabi has written?"
Inform the archbishop and her Highness that Madame is nearing the city. The king " "Hush!" said von Mitter, with a finger on his lip; "hush! The king died at six o'clock. God rest his soul!" He crossed himself. "A disgraceful day! Curse the scheming woman, could she not let us bury him in peace? Prince Frederick's father refused to send us aid." "I am dying," said Maurice with a sob.
"By the Lord, so it is you you you!" savagely bumping the fellow's head against the earth. "Spy!" "You are killing me!" "Small matter. Who is this fellow?" asked Maurice. "Johann Kopf, a spy, a police rat, and God knows what else," answered von Mitter, limping toward the carriage. "Curse the leg!" He forced the door and peered inside. "Fainted! I thought as much."
But he had been a fool there; he had wasted time and lent himself to a despicable intrigue. For all that he outcried it, there was a touch of shame on his cheeks when he remembered that, had he asked, she would have given him that scrap of paper the first hour of their meeting. Somewhere in Hildegarde von Mitter lay dormant the spirit of heroes. He had made a mistake.
It took Cathewe just as long, but he did not make two or three selections of this or that before finding what he wanted. He was engrossed most of the time in the sober contemplation of the rubber flooring or the running sea outside the port-hole. And this night Hildegarde von Mitter was meditating on the last throw for her hopes.
