After leaving Appleton his fields of labor have been Green Bay, Oneida, Indian Mission, Presiding Elder of Watertown District, Menasha, Neenah, Waupaca, Dartford, Fox Lake, Vinland and Randolph. He took a superannuated relation in 1868, but during 1870 and 1871 he was able to serve as Chaplain of the Western Seaman's Friend Society, at Washington Island.
"Coming, Selim," he said, and moved away from her side as Neenah came toward them from the opposite wall. Genevra did not move. She stood quite still and numb, watching his tall figure crossing the stone floor. Ah, what a man he was! The little Persian wife of Selim, after waiting for a full minute, gently touched the arm of the Princess.
He forgot the deference due his betters and unceremoniously dashed off toward the gates, followed by Neenah, who seemed possessed of wings. Chase was returning! They saw him coming up the drive, his hat in his hand, his white umbrella raised above his head. He drew nearer, sauntering as carelessly as if nothing unusual lay behind him in the morning hours.
The conditions on which the trust must be accepted were, that the School should be located on the Fox River between Neenah and Green Bay, and that an additional ten thousand dollars should be contributed by other parties.
"You are a trump, Neenah," cried Chase, hurrying up to her. "A Persian angel!" It was not Neenah's laugh that replied. Chase gasped in amazement and then uttered a cry of joy. The Princess Genevra, slim and erect, was standing before him, her hand touching her turban in true military salute, soft laughter rippling from her lips.
Here he left them and crept stealthily away. A few minutes later he crept back to them, a soft hiss on his lips. "Five men are near the gate," he whispered. "They watch so closely that no one may go to rescue those who have disappeared. Friends are hidden inside the wall, ready to open the gate at a signal. They have waited with Neenah all night. And day is near, sahib."
"Yes a Persian angel," she cried. "It's so much easier to run well in a Persian angel's costume," she added. "You are wonderful, staying out there all night watching for us." He was about to say "me." "How could any one sleep? Neenah found this dress for me aren't these baggy trousers funny? She rifled the late Mr. Wyckholme's wardrobe. This costume once adorned a sultana, I'm told.
"May Allah bless you and profit for Himself, excellencies," said the good Selim. Neenah plainly had advanced her suspicions to the brown body-servant. Genevra blushed and then her eyes blazed. She gave the girl a scornful look; Neenah smiled happily, unreservedly in return. "Allah help us, you should say, if Von Blitz returns," interposed Chase hastily. "Is the door barred?" "No, excellency.
Did Selim steal her in the beginning?" "You forget the pot of sapphires and the big ruby." "They say that princesses can be bought very cheaply." "Depends entirely upon the quality of princess you desire. It's very much like buying rare gems or old paintings, I'd say." "Very much, I'm sure. I suppose you'd call Neenah a rare gem?" "She is certainly not an old painting." "How old is she, pray?"
