"To-night you see what I have done I have, sent away my friends and my carriage. They may know me here you see what I have risked. And I don't care. You thought to-night that I was your enemy and I am not. I am not your enemy at all." Her hand fell as though by accident upon his, and remained there. Mr. Sabin was very nearly embarrassed.
Sabin raised his head, and his eyes traveled towards the figure of the man who sat with his back to them in the far distant corner of the room. "The Prince," he said softly, "is faithful to his ancient enmities." Lucille's face was troubled. She turned to her companion with a little grimace. "He would have me believe," she murmured, "that he is faithful to other things besides his enmities." Mr.
"They have kept their word," he said softly to himself, "after many years. After many years!" Duson came in to undress him shortly afterwards. He saw signs of the struggle, but made no comment. Mr. Sabin, after a moment's hesitation, took a phial from his pocket and poured a few drops into a wineglassful of water. "Duson," he said, "bring me some despatch forms and a pencil." "Yes, sir." Mr.
Might I suggest therefore that you permit me to ring?" The Prince rose to his feet. "You are right," he said. "The bandying of words between you and me is a waste of time. We are both of us too old at the game. But come, before I go I will do you a good turn. I will prove that I am in a generous mood." Mr. Sabin shrugged his shoulders.
"Guess I can fix that for you," he remarked, running his forefinger down one of the pages. "Here we are. The Duchess left on Friday, and we checked her baggage through to Lenox by the New York, New Haven & Hartford." Mr. Sabin nodded. "Thank you," he said. "She would probably take a carriage to the station. It will be worth another ten dollars to you if you can find me the man who drove her."
"It was perhaps judicious," he remarked, "though I am afraid it proved of very little profit to you. And what about the present time?" "I see no harm in telling you, sir, that a general watch is kept upon your movements. Duson was useful to us... but now Duson is dead." "It is a fact," Mr. Sabin said impressively, "that Duson was a genius. My admiration for him continually increases."
Do you know to whom your appeal must be made?" "To the Grand Duke!" Mr. Sabin replied. The Prince shook his head. "Ah me!" he said, "how long indeed you have been absent from the world. The Grand Duke is no longer the head of our little affair. Shall I tell you who has succeeded him?" "I can easily find out," Mr. Sabin answered.
You will be able to help Lucille through the annoyance to which I deeply regret that she should be subjected." Mr. Sabin gently raised his eyebrows. "Annoyance!" he repeated. "I fear that I do not quite understand." The Prince smiled. "Surely Lucille has told you," he said, "of the perilous position in which she finds herself." "My wife," Mr. Sabin said, "has told me nothing. You alarm me."
"Very easily, my dear UNCLE. Lady Carmarthen is Wolfendon's cousin, you know, and a very good friend of mine. I have half a dozen blank cards here. Shall I really see you there?" "I believe so," Mr. Sabin answered. "And Lucille?" "It is possible." "There is nothing I suppose which I can do in the way of intervention, or anything of that sort?" Mr. Sabin shook his head.
I have been a diplomatist all my life," Mr. Sabin said, rising slowly to his feet, and with a sudden intent look upon his face, "and if I were to be outwitted by such a novice as you I should deserve to end my days in New York." Mr. Horser rose also to his feet. A smile of triumph was on his lips. "Well," he said, "we Come in! Come in!" The door was thrown open. Skinner and two policemen entered.
