What could Rallywood mean by throwing away his life? But Adiron backed up Rallywood; he was going to bring this thing to pass! Rallywood should have a last satisfaction in this life, because he was worthy of it. 'If Lieutenant Unziar chooses to withdraw his opinion, he said, 'of course Captain Rallywood will not go any further into the matter.
'When anything so extremely awkward comes to pass, I suppose I shall have to make up my mind on the subject, replied Rallywood with a lazy yawn, 'in the meantime it is to much trouble. Just at present my part is simple, and I look for the game to turn in our favor. Counsellor stood still, as if in consideration, for a minute.
The interpretation of this enigmatical speech was left to the ear, for the young Countess was gazing at her big black fan, where luminous fireflies hung tangled amongst the dusky feathers. Quickly with some dissatisfaction she became aware that Rallywood was not looking at her as he should have been doing but staring in front of him with a grave expression.
The matter may safely be left in my hands. Once more the folding doors were thrown back, and between the crimson portieres appeared the face of Colonel Wallenloup, charged with a strange expression. He advanced a step or two into the room, then turned to introduce a man behind him. 'Captain Rallywood, gentlemen, he said.
In compliance with a private request on the part of Major Counsellor the British Minister at Révonde bestirred himself to procure a commission for Rallywood, who thus became a lieutenant in the Frontier Cavalry, and for more than five years had taken his share in riding and keeping the marches of Maäsau gaining much experience in capturing smugglers and in superintending the digging out of snowed up trains.
Madame de Sagan had quarreled with her husband because she had insisted on helping Mademoiselle Selpdorf, who was about to be married to Baron von Elmur, in the choice of her trousseau. Some excitement was being caused in the Guards' barracks by the case of Captain Rallywood, whom Count Sagan accused of using his influence unduly with his brother-officers to forward the projects of Germany.
But Sagan had another word to say to him. 'And I also, Captain Rallywood, shall know how to deal with you. Do not forget that! Your conduct cannot be overlooked. You will find that in Maäsau we are still able to get rid of those who cater for a cheap notoriety. We shall know how to deal with you! I am the colonel of the Guard. Are you aware that it is in my power to break you?
'Captain Rallywood, I want to thank you. I can never thank you enough for that night at Kofn Ford. I understood pray believe I understood it and I think you are the noblest gentleman alive! Rallywood did not hesitate. There was one thing Valerie should know and be certain of in the uncertain future. 'Give me a moment, Mademoiselle, he exclaimed, detaining her. 'I see you do not quite understand.
Aye, like that! he smashed his riding-whip across his knee as he spoke, and flinging away the pieces, he added, 'And by the powers above us, I will! Rallywood saluted and rode away. At once the foresters fell to work feverishly to fill in the earth over Colendorp's body. Once more through the falling snow Rallywood looked back.
At this instant the music broke off with a sudden clang; the dancers paused where they stood, as the great bell of the palace tower sent its strong, mellow boom of midnight out over the frost-bound city. Rallywood, on looking round an instant later, saw that masks and dominoes had disappeared.
