"Now I understand his attitude more clearly." "You do not answer my question," she said. "Her story of the state of affairs in Wallaria certainly gave me the idea of seeking fortune in this country." "And love?" she said. Ellerey looked at her quickly and wondered.
"She may have come to watch me, and even then she could hardly discover my real object. I have worked in your service too secretly. Even Lord Cloverton trusts me." "I would Lord Cloverton were removed from Wallaria either by his Government or by " "Ah, madam, death seldom strikes where we would have it.
I shall not come back until the men who were so ready to accuse me have eaten their words and the country so ready to dispense with my services asks for them again." "That will come in time," said Lady Martin. "I am glad to hear your determination," said Sir Charles. "Where are you going?" "To Wallaria." "Wallaria!" "Why not? It seems there is room for a soldier there." Sir Charles looked grave.
The Ambassador at once telegraphed to the Foreign Office in London, and received the answer that the report of her return to Wallaria was absurd, that she was certainly on her way to Australia. This confident answer, however, did not satisfy Lord Cloverton, in spite of the fact that no news of the Princess was forth coming.
"There are many there who love my cause, some because of my right, some because they have learnt that Wallaria is merely the plaything of the nations. Are there not here about me many who love their country, who have fled from tyranny to the freedom of these hills, not to defy just laws, but to withstand oppression? I tell them that Queen Elena's promises are valueless.
"There should be brighter times at hand for Wallaria, Countess," said the King. "The Princess Maritza will enter Sturatzberg a prisoner to-morrow." "So I have heard, your Majesty." "And you loyally rejoice with us, Countess?" The question was so marked in the intonation of the King's voice that Frina Mavrodin was on her guard in a moment.
"I am barely forgiven yet for the mysterious lady of the Altstrasse." "This is not an unknown woman, but a very famous one none other than Princess Maritza of Wallaria. You have heard of her?" "I have not only heard of her, but seen her and spoken to her." "And admired her?" she asked. "Yes, her beauty and her indomitable courage." "That is what I heard, that you admired her."
"I have given my information to you because I know the prestige of Lord Cloverton and his value to the peace of Wallaria." With these parting compliments the Frenchman bowed himself out, feeling that he had established his position with the Ambassador, and put him off the real scent at one and the same time.
The Desmond Ellerey who has the honor to speak to you is a Captain of Horse in the service of his Majesty Ferdinand IV. of Wallaria, and looks for favor and reward only from the King and country he serves." He turned on his heel as he spoke, and the Ambassador stood looking after him until his figure was lost in the moving crowd.
"These rebels who would help you to occupy the throne of Wallaria alone would be difficult to rule without an army at your call to cow them into submission." "We are looking to the future; it is the present which concerns us, monsieur." "We can only wait and watch events," said De Froilette.
