No one who could pay more than a dozen rubies. Women are cheap here, and you would be a woman, not a most beautiful princess." "I would not care to be a princess, perhaps." "You love my Sahib Chase?" demanded Neenah abruptly, eagerly. "Neenah!" gasped Genevra, with a startled look. Neenah looked intently into the unsteady, blue-grey eyes and then bent over to kiss the hand of the Princess.
And Lady Agnes laughed yes, nervously. Ah, but Agnes was playing! She was not in love with this man. It was different. It was not what Neenah meant nor Deppingham, honest friend that he was. Down below she heard voices. She wondered inconsistently alert whether he was one of the speakers. Thomas Saunders and Miss Pelham were coming in from the terrace. They were in love with each other!
Hang it all, Browne, I didn't have time to save that case of cigarettes; I'm out nearly a hundred boxes. And those novels you lent me, Lady Deppingham I can't return. Sorry." "You might have saved the cigarettes and novels if you hadn't been so occupied in saving the fair Neenah," said her ladyship, with a provoking smile. "Alas! I thought of that also, but too late.
This astounding piece of news swept away the feeble barrier Genevra would have erected in her pique. Eagerly she joined in questioning the Persian girl, but Neenah would only reply that Selim was waiting for the sahib. The Princess was immeasurably consoled to find that the body-servant had destroyed the fuses and that they were in no immediate danger of being blown to pieces.
With a caution that seemed wholly absurd to the two white people, Neenah guided them through the maze of narrow passages, dark as Erebus and chill as the grave. Chase checked a hysterical impulse to laugh aloud at the proceedings; it was like playing at a children's game. He was walking between the two women, Neenah ahead, Genevra behind; each clasped one of his hands.
The blood of every one turned cold with, apprehension; every voice was stilled, every eye wide with dread. Neenah screamed as she fled across the terrace toward the drawbridge, where Selim stood as motionless as a statue. Luncheon-time passed, and again, as if drawn by a magnet, the entire household made its way to the front of the château. At last Selim uttered a shout of joy.
By the way, has Neenah been made quite comfortable?" "I believe so. She and Selim have the room beyond mine, thanks to Lady Deppingham." "Agnes tells me that she is very interesting quite like a princess out of a fairy book. You recall the princesses who were always being captured by ogres and evil princes and afterward satisfactorily rescued by those dear knights admirable?
Must be money in the draying line." Which was pretty stupid of him, because he should have known that the draying business was now developed into the motor truck business with great vans roaring their way between Winnebago and Kaukauna, Winnebago and Neenah, and even Winnebago and Oshkosh. He learned that later.
Neenah may have felt the magnetic current that coursed through these surcharged creatures: she was smiling mysteriously to herself. "Wait here," she whispered to Chase, ever so softly. She released his hand and moved off in the blackness of the passage. "I will bring Selim," came back to them. "Oh!" fell faintly, tremulously from Genevra's lips. It was a trap, after all!
Bowles that the three persons were talking as they stood in the evening glow. "Yes, Selim," said the tall man in flannels, "he's a sort of old dog Tray ever faithful but not the right kind. You don't happen to know anything of old dog Tray, do you? No? I thought not. Nor you, Neenah? Well, he was " "Was he the one who was poisoned at the château, excellency?" asked Neenah timidly.
