Very little went into the Post that he had not personally viséd in the proof: forty galleys a night were child's play to him. Managing editor there was none but himself; the city editor was his mere office-boy and mouthpiece; even the august business manager, who mingled with great advertisers on equal terms, was known to take orders from him.
"When their children grow up, the child of the same parents has a grandfather in North Carolina and another in Vermont, and that child does not like to hear either of those States abused.... He will never consent that this Union shall be dissolved so that he will be compelled to obtain a passport and get it viséd to enter a foreign land to visit the graves of his ancestors.
During that long wait which the train used to make in the old Austrian times at Peschiera, while the police authorities viséd the passports of those about to cross the frontier, Elmore continued perpetually alert. He was aware that he should not know Ehrhardt if he met him; but he should know that he was present from the looks of Lily and Mrs. Elmore, and he watched them.
This fact will be alone sufficient to silence the tongues of malignant calumniators. I had to get my passport vised for Rome in Florence, and then they would not let me come ashore here until a policeman had examined it on the wharf and sent me a permit. They did not even dare to let me take my passport in my hands for twelve hours, I looked so formidable. They judged it best to let me cool down.
We still ascended, and came soon to the gateway of the town of Acquapendente, which stands on a height that seems to descend by natural terraces to the valley below. . . . . French soldiers, in their bluish-gray coats and scarlet trousers, were on duty at the gate, and one of them took my passport and the vetturino's, and we then drove into the town to wait till they should be vised.
No passport had been viséd to which her name was attached. It was then certain that she was still in Paris. But what method could he devise for a systematic search?
For two days the three friends were the guests of the young Dutchman at his bachelor apartments in Amsterdam. Upon the morning of the third day, Block presented them with passports properly vised by the Dutch authorities. "These will get you through," he said quietly. "We can never thank you enough," declared Hal, quietly. "Some day you will realize what a great thing you have done for the world."
As they did so, Bog swiftly passed the house, and saw that a muscular servant stood within the entry, for the obvious purpose of preventing the intrusion of persons not wanted there. The large diamond breastpins and depraved faces of the two young men were their passports, and were viséd without hesitation by the diplomatic attendant.
Here's the new code; get it off by heart between now and Monday, and destroy the copy. It's safer. Here's your passport, duly viséd, and a cheque. That's all, I think. I don't need to teach you your work. But I don't want you to meet with such a fate as Carson's; so I expect you to be warned by his example. And you are not to make any attempt to unravel the mystery of his death.
Next day, at Semlin, where our passports were examined, the passport officer took off his hat to him, bowed low and viséd his passport without question, saying, as he handed back the document to its owner: "Bon voyage, Highness." I stared at the pair. My fussy friend with the big head must therefore be either a prince or a grand duke!
