Anthony had been lit up from end to end with a brilliant light, and while the other two seconds went to fetch their respective principals to the spot, Adiron and Adolf exchanged a word or two as they waited. 'The Englishman took it very well, remarked Adiron. 'Devilish well, lisped little Adolf; 'he made rather a favour, of it just to satisfy Unziar, you know!
Unziar sprang up hurriedly. 'It is in the ante-room, he said; 'I will bring it. Sagan rose from his place as Unziar returned with a naked sword in his hand. The Count took it and laid it on the table before him. Then standing he addressed the court.
Rallywood had just time to make up his mind and determine upon his course of action. The glasses clinked together, and then clashed upon the floor, where the men set their heels upon them. Then Rallywood turned to Unziar: 'I compliment you, Lieutenant Unziar, he said.
Counsellor opened the stove and threw in the remnant of his cigar. 'Ah! he commented significantly; 'and I presume Unziar goes there to meet you. I begin to see. Rallywood laughed. 'I'm hanged if I do! By the way, the Countess wants of all things to make a friend of you. She says the English are so reliable. But you are such an old bear the women can't get at you.
'Stop for a moment; then standing beside him, she continued, 'Ask me to-morrow. 'If I am alive I will! he laughed. He felt her hand move with a quick tremor on his arm. 'I knew it! Which of them has challenged you? Unziar? The swift question, echoing his own thought, took him completely by surprise. He passed his arm round her, for the waltz was nearing its end. 'Shall we go on?
It was clear that Rallywood, taking advantage of his position, and under pretence of carrying the despatches to the Chancellor had simply gone to Révonde and wired to Unziar a false order of release for Major Counsellor. The sole delinquent was Rallywood, and the Count in a torrent of curses promised himself a time of reckoning.
Unziar's eyes burned, Wallenloup was frowning. But Sagan swept on. He was a man who trampled horribly upon a fallen foe. At last Wallenloup could bear it no longer. He rose to his feet and saluting the Count led the way from the room, the line closing with Rallywood between Adolf and Unziar as guard.
Unziar bowed and continued as if the interlude with its covert allusions had not taken place. 'It has been difficult to get at Rallywood this evening. Yet let us see how he shoots before we conclude that he has any rooted objection to handling a pistol. I agree with Captain Colendorp, that the affair should be brought off to-night. I will go and find the Englishman.
For God's sake don't say you cannot! Give me your love! 'Anthony! It almost shocked her to see Unziar cold and cynical Unziar pleading as a man pleads for escape from death, with a terrible self-abandonment. 'Wait! Tell me this. Did you choose von Elmur? 'My we it has nothing to do with that kind of thing. 'I thought not! Then you will sacrifice yourself for an idea? You shall not!
Valerie Selpdorf is embarrassed with partners my cousin Anthony Unziar, who desires perhaps herself, but most certainly her fortune, and our delightful German Minister, who uses all means that come to hand to win Maäsau for his master! But I should not say these foolish things to you, who are of the other party.
