"Perhaps she er didn't get your telegram," ventured Dickey. "What sort of a looking I mean, is she old or young?" "Neither; she is just my age," smiled Lady Saxondale. Dickey dumbly permitted the rare chance for a compliment to slip by. "Jane, won't you and Mr. Savage undertake a search for her? I will give William directions regarding the luggage." She turned to the man and the maids, and Mr.
"Is Giovanni Pavesi there, also?" asked Saxondale, loudly. "I do not know him, my lord. The prince's companions are strangers to me. Is such a person here?" Lord Bob could almost see the look on Ugo's face when the question was put to him. "I never heard the name," came the clear voice of the Italian. "My friends are well known to Lord Saxondale.
It seems the only way, provided, of course, there were opposition to his departure," said Lord Bob, smiling. "Alas, I cannot fly," she said, directly. At the rear of the castle, where the stonework had been battered down by time, man and the elements, she saw several servants at work. "You have trustworthy servants, Lord Saxondale. I have tried to bribe one of them."
She was brushing cobwebs from her dress. "To a cave near the old church," she replied, triumphantly. "Blissful ignorance!" he laughed. "It doesn't lead anywhere as it now exists. You see, there was a cave-in a few decades ago " "Is that the one that caved in?" she cried, in dismay. "So Saxondale tells me."
"They were good enough to turn you over to our keeping last night, and we are overjoyed to have you here." "Then," she exclaimed, tragically, rising to her feet, "where are the men who brought me here?" A peculiar and rather mirthless smile passed from one to the other of her companions and it angered her. "I demand an explanation, Lord Saxondale." "I can give none, Miss Garrison, upon my soul.
He remembers Count Sallaconi and the Duke of Laselli. Two men from Brussels are also here Captains Devereaux and Ruz." "I recognize the prince's voice," said Saxondale, unlocking the gate. "Come inside, gentlemen," he said, as he stood before the group. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, you know, but it is wise to be on the safe side. So you are looking for some one who is in my castle?
Give Lady Saxondale and Lady Jane my compliments to-night, and tell them I hope to see them before I sail for home." "What's that?" in astonishment. "Before I sail for home." "Going to give it up, are you?" "She thinks I'm a liar, so what is the use?" "You didn't talk that way this morning. You swore she believed everything you said and that she cares for you. Anything happened since then?"
"Perhaps nobody else knows, but we know that my Lord and Lady Saxondale and the two Americans were your abductors. The man I dumped into the ravine was that little villain Turk." Her heart almost stopped beating with the shock of knowing that nothing could now shield her captors from exposure. "But but it will be very hard to prove," she said, hoarsely, almost defiantly.
"You ask me to trust you. Now, I ask you to trust me. Trust me to shield you and to " "You are cruel!" "Forgive me," said Lady Saxondale, simply. She pressed the hands warmly, and passed from the room. Dorothy felt her head reel, and there was in her heart the dread of losing something precious, she knew not what.
Lady Saxondale proceeded to relate the history of Philip Quentin's achievement. Instead of sailing for New York, he surrendered to his overpowering love and fell to work perfecting the preposterous plan that had come to him as a vision in the final hour of despair. There was but little time in which to act, and there was stubborn opposition to fight against.
