The Countess Isolde had to the full the all-devouring vanity of her type, but now, for once in her life, she felt desirous of forwarding a love affair that was not her own. 'You are going to Sagan, of course? Valerie had said to her partner as they stood together. 'I think not, Rallywood replied.
They knew only that he had grossly disobeyed orders, and not only that, but had disobeyed them for the furtherance of private ambition. So the charge against him intimated. It was understood that the accusation had been lodged by Count Sagan in consequence of information received by him, and the court-martial at once assembled to deal with the matter.
'Yes, his affairs came to an impossible pass, perhaps. For the rest, this seems to me less like Colendorp's secret than the secret of some other man. Rallywood met the red eye full of smouldering wrath. 'Pardon me, my lord, but in the name of the Guard, I protest against burial of Captain Colendorp in this place. 'I have given my orders, answered Sagan.
COLONEL HORDT IS CAPTURED. "It was in that final marching of Soltikof to Lieberose that a distinguished Ex-Swede, Colonel Hordt, of the Free Corps HORDT, was taken prisoner. At Trebatsch; hanging on Soltikof's right flank on that occasion. Who, one day, had determined on a more considerable thing; that of cutting out Ziethen from the Sagan neighborhood.
Anthony, he seldom heard its voice. So that to-night, while the tsa whimpered and clamoured about the exposed buttresses and towers of Sagan, it sounded to his ears like the calling of some long-dead friend, a wraith belonging to his lost youth.
At this Rallywood stepped into view from behind the screen. 'The man acts under orders from his Highness, my lord, he said. Sagan stared at Rallywood with haughty scorn. 'It is of the utmost importance that I should see his Highness at once. Inform his Highness that I urgently beg to be granted an interview.
The Duke glared around him into the circle of half-curious, half-terrified faces, for this was a piercing home-thrust, his eye dwelt for a moment on Sagan, towering tall and rugged and strong as one of his own native rocks, and he recognised that his cousin, although ten years his senior as age is counted, was infinitely younger in his unimpaired energies and rude health.
'Valerie, I called for you to go with me to the Abenfeldt's reception, because I have a question to ask you, began Isolde at once when the door of the carriage was closed. The passing lamps shone varyingly upon their faces as they passed through the lighted streets, and Madame de Sagan looked at her companion. 'Where is Captain Rallywood? she added abruptly.
'Come here! I tell you, man, I must see the Duke to-night at once, continued Sagan approaching Unziar. 'What the devil are you afraid of? Unziar stepped down as the Count pulled him confidentially nearer to himself and towards the narrow entry.
To the north a chain of hills rises black against the sky, and there, set upon a boldly jutting spur, the Castle of Sagan dominates the inhospitable landscape like a frown upon a sinister face.
