"Is it right that he should spend his money in drink? that he should let orders lie unexecuted? that he should do his work so ill that no one cares to employ him? that he should live on grandfather's charity, and then dare sell a thing that is ours every whit as much as it is his? To sell Hirschvogel! Oh, dear God! I would sooner sell my soul!" "August!" cried Dorothea, with piteous entreaty.

Huon himself positively refused to go leaving the orders of Charlemagne unexecuted. Sherasmin was in despair.

"It is true," he repeated doggedly. "But what do you mean by outcasts?" "Criminals, if you like it better. I have broken the law more than once. There is an unexecuted warrant out against me at the present moment. You may even see me marched off this steamer at Liverpool between two policemen." "But why?" she asked passionately. "Why? What is the motive of it all? Is it money?"
