Men who don't love women, love money, and men who do 'Love both, said Elmur quietly. 'To-morrow night Colendorp shall be here with me. You also will be present. Colendorp is a poor man as men go in the Guard and we must approach him softly and by degrees, said Sagan. Elmur concealed a smile.
Sagan, under the iron throttling fingers snatched at his hunting-knife and stabbed fiercely upwards between the bent arms at the Guardsman's throat.

'I forgot that, she admitted. Isolde shook the arm she held. 'You have killed him! Valerie, you have been jealous of me, and by your jealousy you have killed him!
In Sorau, westward, Daun-ward, of Sagan a short day's march: there sat Ziethen, conscious of nothing particular, with Daun secretly marching on him; Daun in person, from the west, and two others from the north and from the south, who are to be simultaneous on Sorau and the Zietheners.
