And, lastly, continued Major Melville, warming in the detail of his arguments, 'where do we find this second edition of Cavalier Wogan? Why, truly, in the very track most proper for execution of his design, and pistolling the first of the king's subjects who ventures to question his intentions. Mr.
Wogan had not recovered from his lunge; the jerk at the cloak threw him off his balance, his legs slipped forward under him, in another moment he would have come crashing down the stairs upon his back, and at the bottom of the flight there stood one man absolutely unharmed supporting his comrade who had been wounded in the throat.
She spoke with a kindliness she had never shown before to Wogan; she even smiled at him in a friendly way. "We do not doubt you, Mr. Wogan, but that written letter, giving my daughter leave to go, I needs must have before I let her go. A father's authority! I cannot take that upon myself." Clementina took a quick step across to her mother's side. "You did not hear," she said.
"Man or woman?" asked Wogan, remembering that visitor who had drawn back into the alley one early morning of last autumn. The man might very likely have been Whittington. "I did not trouble to inquire," said the Cardinal. "But, Mr. Wogan, why do you ask me these questions?" "I have not come yet to the end of them," answered Wogan. "There is one more."
A door opposite and giving onto a yard at the back had been opened at precisely the same moment; and as Wogan stepped quickly in at his door a man stepped quickly out by the door opposite and was lost in the darkness. "What! Are you going?" the landlord cried after him as he turned from the fire at which he was lighting a candle.
The servant handed him a note from the Princess, begging him to attend on her at once. "She must marry the King," said Wogan to himself. He took his hat and cane, and followed the servant into the street.
The landlord, the lady, and Mr. Charles Wogan were all three, it seemed, in luck's way that September morning of the year 1719. Wogan was not surprised, his luck for the moment was altogether in, so that even when his horse stumbled and went lame at a desolate part of the road from Florence to Bologna, he had no doubt but that somehow fortune would serve him.
Even the stains and disorder of his plight could not disguise the singular beauty of the man or make one insensible to the charm of his manner. But I forget my duties," and he rose. "It would be as well, no doubt, if I did not wake my servants?" he suggested. "Count Otto," returned Wogan, with a smile, "they have their day's work to-morrow."
Wogan was sitting propped up with pillows in a chair, and he asked Gaydon many questions of the news at Rome, and how the King bore himself. "The King was not in the best of spirits," said Gaydon. "With this," cried Wogan, flourishing the passport, "we'll find a means to hearten him." Gaydon filled a pipe and lighted it.
Both men gave a cry of delight. Wogan dropped the hilt. "I have a loaded pistol, my friends; you have forgotten that," he cried, and plucked the pistol from his belt. At the same moment he felt behind him with his left hand for the knob of the door.
