Hector, however, remembered enough to make out the meaning, having known the language before he went to school, and he translated what was said to Loraine. They had got to some distance from the camp, when Hector, turning round, observed two animals following. "Holloa! What are these?" he exclaimed. "Can they be wolves?"
In a warm-tinted room at the Castle, later on in the evening, the Prince, in pajamas, was discoursing bravely on the idiosyncrasies of Fate. His only auditor was the mournful Loraine, who sat beside the royal bed in which he wriggled vaguely. The attendants were far down the room. "Never mind, Aunt Loraine, you can't help it. I'm just as sorry as you are. Say, are you in love with him?"
Loraine was undergoing an agony, and when the time came which the duke regarded as the psychological moment, and he baldly offered her his proposition, she made a lovely picture of a woman in distress converted into a righteous fury. She sent him away with blazing eyes and words that should have scorched, and he went with a shrug of the shoulders and smiled when he was out of sight.
King, and you'll have good luck. Baron Dangloss says it's the luckiest kind of a stone. And when you come back, Mr. King, I'm going to knight you. I'd do it now, only Aunt Loraine says you'd be worrying about your title all the time and might be 'stracted from your mission. I'm going to make a baron of you. That's higher than a count in Graustark. Vos Engo is only a count." Truxton started.
Two pairs of hands went up, together with strange oaths. Truxton's eyes had grown used to the darkness; he could see the men quite plainly. "What are you doing?" he demanded of Loraine, who, behind him, was fumbling in the garments of the unconscious Brutus. "Getting his revolver," she replied, with a quaver in her voice. "Good!" he said exultantly. "Let's think a minute," he went on.
This society was very diplomatic, and it amused her to watch the representatives of the different nations the English and the Russians standing out as so much the finest men. Presently the little group was joined by Stephen Strong. "Isn't this an amusing party, Mrs. Loraine?" he said. "Yes," said Tamara. "And I am beginning to be able to place the members of the different countries.
The look in her tired eyes went straight to his heart. Vos Engo drew back, his face set in a frown of displeasure. "My brother?" she asked, without taking her gaze from his eyes. "He is well. He will see you to-day." "And you, Truxton?" was her next question, low and quavering. "Unharmed and unchanged, Loraine," he said softly. "Tell me, did Vos Engo stand between you and the fire from the "
These two characters were incompatible, the one was the representative of modern patriotism, the other of ancient honour: they could not harmonise. The Marquis de Bouillé commanded the troops of Loraine, Alsace, Franche-Comté, and Champagne, and his government extended from Switzerland to the Sambre.
"That's T.O.! Girls, let's run!" she heard Billy say. "Why doesn't she run?" Laura Ann demanded severely. "That would be perfectly appropriate under the circumstances." "'Tis queer, isn't it, that she didn't come to meet us?" Loraine added. In another moment they had reached Emmeline Camp's little green-painted house and found the Talented One waiting impatiently at the gate.
"This is the fastest train in the world, Loraine, bar none." Just then his gaze alighted on the pathetic breakfast and the wandering cigarettes. He stared as if hypnotised. Was he going mad? An instant later he was on his hands and knees, examining the mysterious feast. She joined him at once; no two faces ever before were so puzzled and perplexed.
