After a long wait, during which the conspirators conversed in an undertone, the door was opened and the Governor entered in company with Paulowitch. He appeared surprised to find himself in so large a company, when he had expected to meet but a few intimate friends, but he greeted all cordially and sat down in the place of honor accorded him.
"Do you forget how the Czar, in a proclamation, publicly reprimanded him for allowing the Jews too many liberties, and of harboring treasonable sympathy with them? I know that Pomeroff has been smarting under the insult ever since. He will be glad to have an opportunity of avenging himself." Paulowitch shook his head, in doubt.
Moleska, his secretary, who has access to his desks and closets, and who is one of us, has full instructions how to act in such an emergency." "Poor Pomeroff," murmured Paulowitch. "I am sorry for him." "Nonsense!" exclaimed Loris; "we need him to insure our success. While his police are prying about to discover something new, we are in constant danger of detection and can accomplish little.
"But if they should be found in spite of all precautions?" asked Paulowitch. "Bah! Who will suspect two inoffensive-looking women? Besides, the messages were written in cipher which no one can read. Should the worst happen, however, both ladies are devoted to the cause and would rather die than betray us." "Noble hearts," said Paulowitch, reflectively. "A cause like ours makes heroes."
"At last," he cried, as he perceived his belated friend turn a corner and hurry towards the house. "We shall soon have news from the Governor." There was a hasty knock at the door and a tall young fellow entered, carefully locking the door behind him. "Well, Paulowitch, I began to feel uneasy," said Loris. "What kept you so late?" "I have just arrived from Pomeroff's," whispered Paulowitch.
