There's a report that she was actually killed, and that the story of her flight is a mere blind on the part of Gabriel." "He would do anything," cried Yetive." Poor child; they say she is like her English mother and is charming." "That would set Gabriel against her, I fancy," went on Anguish. "And, by the way, Miss Calhoun, we heard something definite about your friend, Prince Dantan.
He needs clothes worse than I needed these. Does he say positively that Gabriel has been captured?" "Yes. Did you not know of it?" "I was sure it would happen. You know I was not with them in the pass." Yetive was reflecting, a soft smile in her eyes. "I was thinking of the time when I wore men's clothes," she said. "Unlike yours, mine were most uncomfortable. It was when I aided Mr.
Involuntarily his eyes sought the door, then the windows, the peculiar uncontrollable look of the hunted coming into them. Bolaroz allowed his gaze to leap instantly to that pallid face and every eye in the room followed. Yetive was standing again, her face glowing. "An accomplice has confessed all. I have the word of the man who saw the crime committed.
"You dear Yetive," and Beverly drew her down beside her on the cushions. "But, listen: I want you to get something out of your head. I was not looking at anything in particular." "Beverly, I believe you were thinking of Baldos," said the other, her fingers straying fondly across the girl's soft hair. "Ridiculous!" said Beverly, conscious for the first time that he was seldom out of her thoughts.
Fifteen minutes later the chief of police stood in the presence of the eager young interpreters of justice. "I want you to witness my signature, Baron Dangloss," said the princess after the greetings. "Gladly," said the officer. "Well, here is where I signed," said Yetive, handing him the paper. "I don't have to write my name over again, do I?" "Not at all," said the baron gallantly.
Later in the day the Princess Yetive received from the gaunt, hawkish old man in the fortress a signed statement, withdrawing his charges against Baldos the guard. Marlanx did not ask for leniency; it was not in him to plead. If the humble withdrawal of charges against Baldos could mitigate the punishment he knew Yetive would impose, all well and good.
"If this Is true, you have accomplished a miracle," exclaimed Lorry, profoundly agitated. "But can it be true? I can't believe it. It is too good. It is too utterly improbable. Is that really Prince Dantan?" "Assuming that it is Dantan, Grenfall," said Yetive, "I fancy it is not courteous in us to let him stand over there all alone and ignored. Go to him, please."
"Do you mean that another mysterious prince has come to life?" asked Yetive, her eyes sparkling with interest in the revelations. "Early this morning a despatch came to me from the Grand Duke Michael of Rapp-Thorberg, a duchy in western Europe, informing me that the duke's eldest son had fled from home and is known to have come to the far east, possibly to Graustark."
He is playing a game, I'll admit, but he does it with an assurance that delights me." "He is right about that darned old fort," said Anguish. "His knowledge of such things proves conclusively that he is no ordinary person." "Yetive had a bit of a talk with him just now," said Lorry, with a reflective smile. "She asked him point blank if he knew who she was. He did not hesitate a second.
'I remember seeing you in the audience chamber recently. That was a facer for Yetive. 'I assure you that it was no fault of mine that you saw me, she replied. 'Then it must have been your friend who rustled the curtains? said the confounded bluffer. Yetive couldn't keep a straight face. She laughed and then he laughed. 'Some day you may learn more about me, she said to him.
