'I go to get it and other things also. I have arranged the interview with Selpdorf. Elmur bowed and returned to his place by the side of the Countess. Isolde's blue eyes, dewy as a child's with unshed tears, appealed to him. 'It is not true? Elmur reflected that he had never before seen her look so pretty.
'Why? You don't suppose Selpdorf is going to throw the egg? He spoke of you with absolute affection. 'My good John, he has already thrown it! Now I must harass myself to find out the reason, said Counsellor. 'You have spoilt my evening out. Before I had no purpose; now you have thrust one upon me. You should have kept your news until to-morrow.
'I begin to believe the Count's declaration that his Highness can only be driven into a reasonable treaty with us by he stopped and sketched rapidly on the paper before him, 'by in fact the flat of the sword, shall we say? Selpdorf turned a look on his companion.
The Chancellor was moved for once. 'You are out of your senses! he said sternly. 'It is true! Both men looked around. Valerie had entered. 'Father, you must hear me before you before you She glanced at Rallywood and stopped. 'Go, Valerie; you have nothing to do with these things. Selpdorf met her as she came towards him. 'You must hear me to-night, father.
Baron von Elmur paid an early visit to the Chancellor on his way to the review, and found M. Selpdorf, though brisk and urbane as ever, a little difficult. 'We do not progress, Monsieur, Elmur was saying. 'What would you, my dear Baron? we have so many obstacles in our path, answered the other, shrugging his shoulders good-humoredly. Elmur leaned his elbow on the table.
His flabby cheeks twitched, and his bleared eyes brightened. 'Mademoiselle Selpdorf, since you will not salute me, I can at least claim the right as your Duke to salute you, he said, stepping towards her. Instantly Valerie sank into an exaggerated curtsy, thus adroitly avoiding the Duke's outstretched hand and ready lips.
For with the instinct of failing mastership he resolved to think out some scheme of defence and a spontaneous policy, by which he might not only defeat his enemies, but outwit and overwhelm his rebellious servants. Selpdorf was he also false and self-seeking?
'But he fights the better because he is a sinner. 'He is not to be tempted, then. But he is in love with Mdlle. Selpdorf with your future wife, and she must blind him. A man in love is easily blinded. 'And Rallywood? asked Elmur. 'We don't want Rallywood, rejoined Sagan, with an odd glance at Elmur. 'I can manage him, if you will leave him to me. Elmur smiled.
'Now, monsieur, began Selpdorf, as though no break had occurred in the conversation, 'you are in truth tired of keeping our dreary marches; is it not so? 'There are better places and worse, your Excellency. 'Our gay little capital will be one of the better places, I promise you, continued the Chancellor. 'A position in the Guard of his Highness has just become vacant.
'Valerie, I must ask you to consider not only your own share in this question, but von Elmur's. It compromises Elmur no less than it compromises you. 'I cannot carry out the engagement, said the girl quietly. M. Selpdorf threw a great deal of surprise and disappointment into his countenance. 'I did not know you were so greatly prejudiced against him.
