This seemingly extraordinary exclusion of Russian and German bidders was the result of vigorous objections raised by an utter outsider, the American, John Tullis, long time friend and companion of Grenfall Lorry, consort to the late Princess. Tullis was a strange man in many particulars.
The glare that Dangloss bent upon the hag proved that he had been rudely shaken from his habitual complacency. "It is the most amazing thing I've ever seen," he said, over and over again. The Countess Marlanx was trembling violently. Tullis, observing this, tried to laugh away her nervousness. "Mere coincidence, that's all," he said. "Surely you are not superstitious.
"Well, nothing definite," said King evasively. He was reminded at this moment of his own love affair. Seized by the boldest impulse that had ever come to him, he suddenly blurted out: "Tullis, I love your sister. I have loved her from the beginning.

The Countess stared for a moment and then laughed understandingly. "I think he needs a change."

Late that night John Tullis rode into camp at the head of a great company from the Ganlook province. He had retaken the town of Ganlook, seized the fortress, and recruited the entire fighting strength of the neighbourhood. More than that, he had unlimbered and conveyed to the provisional camp two of the big guns that stood above the gates at the fortress.
Truxton King had slipped through his fingers with almost ridiculous ease. So simple had it been, that the two messengers, gloating in the prospect ahead, now spoke of the experience as if it were the most trivial thing in their lives.
