Deep-sunk in these instinctive calculations she was carried on past Green Street as far as the Ritz Hotel. She got down there, and walked back on the Green Park side. The storm had washed every tree; they still dripped.
It was reported from several sources," Von Ritz made answer. "Also," he added as an afterthought, "we knew of your arrival two hours after you reached Puntal. You registered at the hotel under your own name." "Does the Queen also know of my presence?" asked Benton. "No," was the brief reply. For the remainder of the drive conversation died.
He will be under suspicion, but all Europe would resent any injury to Von Ritz." "The Isis is, of course, at your command." In the same rooms where Karyl and his father had often consulted with Von Ritz on affairs of state, Louis Delgado sat in conference with a foreigner, who had no acknowledged position in the councils of any government, yet whose mind and execution had affected many.
