"Well, I don't want to make any accusations, especially against a French officer, for I know they're on our side. But I heard that Sim and Schloss are pretty sore because you fellows got this work."

I would have stopped the business if I had known anything of it; but she is better out of the way, and will be carefully looked after, where she is. By this time she is in the Tyrol. 'And where? asked Carlo, with friendly interest. 'At a schloss near Meran. Or she will be there in a very few hours.

The lady did not appear to hear him, or to have eyes for anything but the slender girl who was being placed against the slope of the bank.
