Gaydon, arrested by Misset's change from restlessness to fixity, looked that way for a second, too, but he turned his head aside very quickly. Wogan's handwriting was none of his business. "We will give them a month," said Wogan, who was conjecturing at the motive of this order from the Court of France. "No doubt we are suspected. I never had a hope that we should not be.
Misset, who put her head from the carriage and bade him stop. Gaydon brought the horses to a standstill three miles out of Innspruck. Wogan jumped down from his box and ran to the carriage-door. "Her Highness is ill?" he cried in suspense. "Not the least bit in the world," returned Clementina, whose voice for once in a way jarred upon Wogan's ears.
The blood poured out from the wound over Wogan's face and breast in a blinding jet. The fellow uttered one choking cry and reeling back carried the comrade who supported him against the balustrade at the turn of the stairs. Wogan did not give that fourth man time to disengage himself, but dropping his sword caught him by the throat as the third wounded man slipped between them to the ground.
"I think I may promise indeed that each will have a step in rank, and I do not doubt that when the Holy Father hears what you have said to me, I shall have three other patents like to this;" and he locked Wogan's away in a drawer. "And what of the King in Spain?" asked Wogan. "I sent a messenger thither on the night of your coming," said the Cardinal; "but it is a long journey into Spain.
Moreover, a door had shut yes, while he was speaking to the Prince a door had shut. So far Wogan's speculations had travelled when the moonlight streamed out beneath his door too. It made now a silver line across the passage broken at the middle by the wall between the rooms. The mat had been removed, the candle put out, the prying was at an end; in another moment the door would surely open.
"Let me go upon this errand. If I fail, if the scaffold's dressed for me, why where's the harm? Your Majesty loses one servant out of his many. Whereas, if I win " and he drew a long breath. "Aye, and I shall win! There's the Princess, too, a prisoner. Sir, she has ventured much. I beg you give me leave." The Chevalier laid his hand gently upon Wogan's shoulder, but he did not assent.
As he came nearer he heard a man's voice obsequiously answering the protests, and as the sound of his footsteps rang in front of the inn both voices immediately stopped. The door was flung hastily open, and the landlord and the lady ran out onto the road. "Sir," said the lady in Italian, "I need a postillion." To Wogan's thinking she needed much more than a postillion.
The blood rushed into Wogan's face at the sneer, but he bowed his head to it, being much humbled by Origo's disclosures. "This story I have told you," continued the Cardinal, "I will make bold to tell to-morrow to her Highness." "But you must also explain why the King lingers in Spain," Wogan objected. "I am very certain of it. The Princess has her pride; she will not marry a reluctant man."
The door was latched, but not locked. He opened it and went in. The building was long, with many stalls ranged side by side. Wogan's pony stood in the end stall opposite to the door. Wogan took down the harness from the pegs and began to fix it ready on the pony. He had just put the collar over its head when he heard a horse stamping in one of the stalls at the other end of the stables.
They picnicked with the merriment of children, and finally O'Toole, to show his contempt for the Emperor, fired off both his loaded pistols in the air. At that Wogan's anxiety returned. He blazed up into anger. He thrust his head from the window. "Is this your respect for her Highness?" he cried. "Is this your consideration?" "Nay," interposed Clementina, "you shall not chide my six feet four."
