Rallywood handed his pistol to Jenard, and bowing to the assembled men ceremoniously, he went on: 'I hope we may consider the affair concluded, and as I am engaged for the dance that is about to begin, I trust you will excuse me. And with another bow he was gone. No one spoke for a little while, then Unziar walked towards the others with no very pleasant face.
Unziar looked back at his interlocutor, his eyes hardening. 'Of course, he said, bringing out each word distinctly, 'Rallywood must be got rid of. 'It will offend M. Selpdorf if his nominee be interfered with, went on Colendorp. 'I have already undertaken that little matter, put in Adolf eagerly. There was an undercurrent of meaning in all this of which each man present was fully aware.
Yet Simon was powerful and unscrupulous; how could this handful of men oppose him? He sprang up in his bed as the door opened and a man stood on the threshold. 'Sire, there is treason! Colendorp has been murdered. 'Is it you, Unziar? The Duke's voice came strangely from his pillows. 'Send for the whole escort of the Guard from their quarters. 'Impossible, sire!
In after time events brought back the vehement words to the minds of the three who heard them. 'And I say, "Amen!" The Duke took her hand and added, 'Which proves, Valerie, that you have conquered your old friend, Gustave of Maäsau. Come, Captain Rallywood, half-an-hour's play, and then to bed. Valerie looked up at Unziar as she walked beside him. 'And yet you would not believe me?
Meanwhile Rallywood, with the men of the Cavalry, his old brother-officers, behind him, advanced to meet Unziar.
Selpdorf was a student of human nature as all of his craft must be, and Rallywood offered for his observation a character out of the common and hard for a Maäsaun to read. How had he escaped from the dilemma in which he had been so carefully placed? The Chancellor was curious to hear. The man was an artist in the human passions. 'From Lieutenant Unziar? Selpdorf repeated tentatively.
'Why, yes, if you choose to put it so. If you either carry these despatches on for Unziar or remain to keep me prisoner, you play Germany's game for her. 'Perhaps not, suggested Rallywood. 'The Chancellor sent me here. Counsellor's short angry grunt of derision surprised him. 'Mademoiselle Valerie may be loyal, but Selpdorf is at the bottom of the whole plot.
Though regard for her has led me to attempt to hide my folly. I see I have not been altogether as successful as I hoped. But, had I anything to offer her beside my sword, I'm hanged if I would let that infernal German have her! 'In these affairs, my friend, the ladies equally make choice, Unziar replied with a sneer. 'Besides, it is only a part of the plot, the last word was scarcely audible.
'The Guard keep their falsehoods for outsiders, I suppose? Unziar liked this harping upon Rallywood less and less. He moved irritably. 'But that is not all. You have admitted that you are going to marry Elmur. That also signifies something. 'Whatever it signifies, it does not signify that I am disloyal to Maäsau. 'You have seen for yourself that there is a change here at Sagan, argued Unziar.
Before the wine filled the glasses, Adolf was already deep in the story of Unziar's shooting-match with Abenfeldt. 'Allow me the honour of drinking with you, Monsieur, said Colendorp to Rallywood. 'It was in truth a notable performance; we have never had even in the Guard a surer shot than Unziar, he added, alluding to the anecdote.
