'I thought you would be sure to be in attendance' she glanced carelessly towards the daïs where the Countess was at the moment laying her fan on Counsellor's knee 'as usual. 'No, Unziar is the lucky man, Rallywood answered without significance in his tone. 'Nonsense! Anthony is her cousin! said the girl impatiently. Rallywood's grey eyes were on her face. 'Whose cousin?
'Provisionally, yes, said the girl. 'Mademoiselle Selpdorf has already given this waltz to me, said Unziar, stepping forward. But Mademoiselle Selpdorf placed her hand within the Baron's ready arm. 'Later, Anthony, she answered. 'His Excellency deserves a consolation prize, since my reading of "Good Luck" is not in the German language.
'Yes, I suppose I like going there; yet as I have said before, there are a good many people who appreciate her more than I do. 'Then what in the world takes you there? An odd expression grew slowly into the young man's face. 'Because of the other people, I suppose, he repeated dreamily. 'As for instance? Rallywood woke up from his thoughts and shook himself. 'Unziar, he returned with a grin.
Elmur, standing near by, filled his glass and drank, with a silent nod at Unziar. 'I shall be delighted to assist you in settling the question, returned Rallywood; then, consulting his card, he added, I find I have an engagement for the last dance, some twenty minutes hence. May I recommend the interval to your consideration?
On the way Jenard explained to Rallywood that the procedure decided upon as being best suited to the requirements of the case was simply alternate shots at twenty paces. Rallywood and Unziar being placed, one of the men sent a coin spinning up into the air. Then followed a long minute of silence. St.
Looked at from your point of view, I see that I was wrong about that affair with Unziar. But more than all, it proves he is a splendid fellow. Now Unziar's praise from Rallywood's lips displeased Mademoiselle Selpdorf almost more than all which had gone before. 'It is easy to say these things, but' she rose eagerly 'at last that figure is ended.
'The Duke is of the same mind in which I found him at the Castle, though he may be forced to dissemble, asserted Counsellor; then with a twist he sat up as his glance fell upon the square dark object lying on the table between them. 'John Rallywood, do you know what that is? 'The despatches thrown to me by Unziar.
'Has his Excellency the Chancellor thrown out too powerful a hint about the fellow? I saw Mademoiselle dancing with him this evening I mean a hint too powerful to be disregarded by those who wish to retain the good opinion of M. Selpdorf! Unziar scowled.
I hope in that particular, at least, if in no other, to support their traditions, replied Rallywood, with an air of cool and serene indifference said to be impossible to any but men of his race. 'That is something, rejoined Unziar with a smile that belied its name. 'We are somewhat exigeant in the Guard. We ask for more than a long memory a long pedigree, for example, and a long sword.
It spoke only of a certain prisoner and certain despatches. Rallywood acting under valid orders, had taken over the despatches from Unziar, and next by a false telegram to Unziar had ordered the release of a certain prisoner. Also he had used the despatches to forward aims of his own, to the loss and detriment of the Free State of Maäsau.
