"I do not mean to be. Any one who knows her will tell you the same thing." "I repeat you are insolent and you may go to your room." Polly made no reply, but started to leave the room. Tzaritza sprang to her side. Miss Sturgis interposed. "Leave that dog where she is. Go back, you horrible beast," and she raised her hand menacingly.
Crowds pressed to the field where stood the newly built hall, brilliant as a star. Up high at the window the tsarevna was sitting, adorned with precious stones, clad in velvet and pearls. The people below were roaring like an ocean. The Tzar with his Tzaritza was sitting upon a throne. Around them were boyars, warriors, and counselors.
The rope was bitten through as clean as a thread and Tzaritza's coat told of the long journey on the horses' trail. After her wild demonstrations of joy had calmed down, Tzaritza stood panting in the middle of the wreck which her cyclonic entrance had brought about, her great eyes pleading eloquently for restored favor.
A wolf!" shrieked Lily Pearl, who had returned to the scene, "and he is killing her." "It is a horrid, dirty dog! Why doesn't that man drive him out?" demanded Miss Sturgis, who had followed Tzaritza hot foot, having been in the main hall when the great hound went tearing through and up the stairs, nose and ears having given her the clue to her mistress' whereabouts.
He helped each girl upon her horse, greeted Junius Augustus, patted Shashai, Star and Tzaritza; deplored poor Columbine's shorn glories, smiled an odd smile at Isabel's bulky figure upon the more bulky Senator, then said: "I'll see you when you come back, honey. I've got to have a talk with Shelby. Some things is are bothering me back yonder. Have a fine gallop. It's a prime day for it.
Tzaritza welcomed her with a grateful whine and crept closer, though she never raised her head. She was waiting the word of forgiveness from the one she loved best of all, but Peggy was awaiting Tzaritza's exoneration. Mrs. Vincent, who had sent for the resident trained nurse, was examining Polly's arm and now said: "It is all very distressing, but I am glad no more serious for Polly.
Tzaritza understood. "Guard," said Peggy. "Woof-woof," answered Tzaritza deep down in her throat. Peggy then led the way to the Empress' paddock. Roy capered through the gate; Tzaritza, with her newly-assumed responsibility upon her, entered with dignity.
"She shall be appointed guardian of the West Wing of Columbia Heights, and may turn out a guardian for us all. Now, Jess, take her to the stables and make her presentable to polite society. Poor Tzaritza, your journey must have been a long, hard, dusty one, for your silken fringes have collected many souvenirs of it."
Light out, little girl, an' come back lookin' like you uster; the purtiest sight God ever created for a man, woman or child ter clap eyes on. Take good care of her, Shashai, and you too, Tzaritza, cause you won't get another like her very soon." Shelby's eyes were quick to discern the traces of Peggy's little storm, and he was by no means slow in drawing deductions.
But Tzaritza was no wolf even if her beautiful snowy coat was mud-bedraggled and stuck full of burrs, nor was Peggy being "devoured alive," as Lily Pearl, who had actually run for once in her life, was hysterically sobbing into Mrs. Vincent's arms.
