In declining to profit by it you are paying court to death. Rallywood shrugged his shoulders. 'I may prove my point, he retorted, smiling. 'As for that, it might be decided on a different basis later on, urged Adiron. For the second time that night Rallywood looked at his watch. 'I have an engagement in seven minutes, he said.
Duke Simon! a name, but never a living power only a German puppet, pulled hither and thither at will by the controlling hand. 'What are your plans, my lord? he asked aloud. The Count started, and raised his head. 'We have three of the Guard here Unziar, Rallywood, Colendorp. You know that as soon as we have made sure of their officers the men will follow of themselves. Now Unziar is no saint.
'But naturally, Mademoiselle, replied Rallywood. 'You know who I am? 'Not in the least. I cannot even make a guess, though I have been waiting to know since this day last week. 'It would have been easy to ask the question of anyone, she said with an odd intonation. 'By no means.
'Then I am afraid I must beg of you to do me the great favour of rearranging the affair, replied Rallywood; 'for if I should be unfortunate enough to kill Lieutenant Unziar, or even to disable him, the question at issue between us must remain undecided for at the best an indefinite time, and possibly for ever.
Elmur, standing near by, filled his glass and drank, with a silent nod at Unziar. 'I shall be delighted to assist you in settling the question, returned Rallywood; then, consulting his card, he added, I find I have an engagement for the last dance, some twenty minutes hence. May I recommend the interval to your consideration?
'Just so. History repeats itself. Counsellor stood squarely upright with his hands behind him. 'Any other reasons? he asked. 'Plenty. 'Pity! Are they serious or otherwise?

Rallywood had just time to make up his mind and determine upon his course of action. The glasses clinked together, and then clashed upon the floor, where the men set their heels upon them. Then Rallywood turned to Unziar: 'I compliment you, Lieutenant Unziar, he said.
'Gentlemen of the Guard, I must thank you in the first place for the admirable patience with which you have listened to the details of the abominable crime with which the prisoner, John Rallywood, is charged. His guilt has been proved up to the hilt by Lieutenant Unziar's evidence, but in addition to that the accused was not ashamed to convict himself out of his own mouth.
Rallywood laughed and his spurs jingled as he left the room, glad to have escaped so cheaply from Counsellor's keen observation. The old Major went to the window and watched him ride away in the sunshine, a gallant figure in his glittering uniform, sitting squarely on his big bay charger.
I can positively reassure your Excellency on that point. 'Unziar? No! The Englishman Rallywood. 'Rallywood? said the Chancellor in very real surprise, 'what of him? 'Nothing beyond the fact that he has an aptitude for challenging fate. Such men dazzle the eyes, and are consequently apt to be dangerous. Why has he been placed in the Guard?
