Hastings broke in plaintively, "that I hope your servant, for instance, is not a sample of what the world is coming to!" The prince smiled indulgently, as if a child had laid a little, detaining hand upon his sleeve. "Be that as it may," he said evenly, "the throne of Yaque was still empty. Many stood near to the crown, but there seemed no reason for choosing one more than another.
"Her Highness has already given me the great happiness to plight me her troth," said Prince Tabnit. King Otho's eyebrows flickered from their parallel of repose. "In Yaque or in America," he murmured, "the Americans do as the Americans do. None of us is mentioned in Deuteronomy, but what is the will of the princess?" the American Sovereign asked. Mrs.
"Tell us," she besought the prince. "King Otho I of Yaque," the prince was begining, but the title was not to be calmly received by Mrs. Hastings. "King Otho!" she articulated. "Then am I royalty?" "All who may possibly succeed to the throne Blackstone holds to be royalty," said the lawyer in an edictal voice, and St. George looked away from Olivia. The Princess Olivia!
"Yaque," said the prince readily, "lies almost due southwest from the Azores." Mr. Frothingham stirred skeptically. "But such an island," he said pompously, "so rich in material for the archaeologist, the anthropologist, the explorer in all fields of antiquity ah, it is out of the question, out of the question!"
"You showed some surprise, I remember," continued the prince, "when I told you, in McDougle Street, that we of Yaque understand the Fourth Dimension." McDougle Street. The sound smote the ear of St. George much as would the clang of the fire patrol in the midst of light opera. "Yes, yes," he said, his attention now completely chained.
George followed to a far winding dot in that opal valley, a mere speck of silver with a prick of pink, fleeing in a cloud of sunny dust. "I do not know if you will know what I mean," said the prince, "but hers is the spirit, and the spirit of her father, the king, which Yaque had never known.
He perceived that he must give them more definite attention than his half-idle device of the wine intended as that had been as a mere hyperspatial practical joke, not in the least irreconcilable with his office of host. "Mr. St. George came to Yaque to help me find my father," Olivia was concluding earnestly, "and if anything has happened to him, Prince Tabnit, I alone am responsible."
There it lay, a thing of rock and green, like the islands of its sister latitudes before which the passing ships of all the world are wont to cast anchor. But having once cast anchor before Yaque the ships of all the world would have had great difficulty in landing anybody.
And the memory of that breakfast on the other side of the world, of their happy talk about what would happen if they two were impossibly to meet in Yaque came back to them both, and set his heart beating and flooded her face with delicate colour. In her laugh was a little catching of the breath that was enchanting.
Columbus having heard the excuses of the Pinta's captain, took no action with respect to the latter's delinquency, but set about exploring a large river in the vicinity to which he gave the name of Rio de Oro and which to-day is called the Yaque.
