"Niclas," she whispered, "I must and will know who these strangers are. Go and demand their passports." The obedient Niclas stepped out and cried in a thundering voice to the postilion, who was just about to start, to wait. Stepping to the stage, he opened the door. "Your passports, gentlemen," he said, roughly. "You forgot to show me your passports."
"To do so, I should have to open my bag, and that would be very inconvenient, but, if the law absolutely demands it, I will do it." "The law demands it." The king motioned to his servant, and ordered him to carry the bag into the house. "Why this delay why this unnecessary loss of time?" asked Niclas. "The postilion can wait no longer. If he arrives too late at the next station, he will be fined."
The king took his box and approached the door. "And my coffee, and the wine," asked Mrs. Niclas, just entering with the drinks. "We have no time to make use of them, madame," said the king, as he passed her, to leave the room. But Madame Niclas held him back. "No time to make use of them," she cried; "but I had to take time to make the coffee, and bring the wine from the cellar."
The servant followed with the two cases and the bag, and laid them upon the table, then placed himself at the door. "Now, madame, leave us," ordered the king, "and do as I told you." Madame Niclas left, and the gentlemen were once more alone. "Now, what shall we do?" said the king, smilingly. "I believe there is danger of our wonderful trip falling through."
