Alighting from the cab, Tancred hurried to Sequin Court and sent in his card to Sidonia, who in a few moments received him. As he entered the great financier's room, there came out of it the man called in Brook Street the Baron. 'Well, how did your dinner go off? said Sidonia, looking with some surprise at the disturbed countenance of Tancred.
In a battle lay their only chance of salvation; and although Godfrey, Bohemund, and Tancred received the story of the lance with much suspicion, they were too wise to throw discredit upon an imposture which bade fair to open the gates of victory.
Lady Tancred had rigidly refrained from questioning her daughters, on their return from the dinnerparty; she had not even seen them until the morning, and when they had both burst out with descriptions of their future sister-in-law's beauty and strangeness their mother had stopped them. "Do not tell me anything about her, dear children," she had said.
He forgot that none of his friends knew Jan at all, but that almost every evening they did see her with him in the car sometimes, it is true, accompanied by the children, but quite as often alone and that during her visit his spare time was so much occupied in looking after the Tancred household that his friends saw comparatively little of him, and Peter was, as a rule, a very sociable person.
The chiefs began to weary of the expedition, and, most disgraceful of all, Peter the Hermit turned his back on the enterprise, and had actually fled several miles on his way home, when he was brought back by the soldiers of Tancred and forced to undergo a public reprimand.
"And what am I here for except to be left to it I don't mean that anyone's rude or pushing but Miss Tancred is so friendly, and I'm not dignified and awe-inspiring like you, you great big Jan; and the poor men are encouraged, directly and deliberately encouraged, by your niece. I never knew a child with such a continual flow of conversation." "Poor Meg," said Jan, "you won't have much more of it.
'And when do you start for the Holy Land? said Lord Henry to Tancred, in a tone and with a countenance which proved his sympathy. 'I have clutched my staff, but the caravan lingers. 'I envy you! 'Why do you not go? Lord Henry slightly shrugged his shoulders, and said, 'It is too late. I have begun my work and I cannot leave it.
"If my kinsman Tancred," said Bohemond, "will check his impetuosity, and you, my lords, will listen, as you have sometimes deigned to do, to my advice, I think I can direct you how to keep clear of any breach of your oath, and yet fully to relieve our distressed fellow-pilgrims.
Saltus returned to the central theme of "Enthralled" in a story called "The Impostor," printed in "Ainslee's" for May, 1917. "When Dreams Come True" again brings us in touch with Tancred Ennever, the stupid hero of "The Transient Guest." In the meantime he has become an almost intolerable prig. It is probable that Saltus meant more by this fable than he has let appear.
It almost startled him when the cold, deliberate voice continued: "I have a proposition to make to you should you care to accept it. I have a niece a widow she is rather an attractive lady. If you will marry her I will pay off all your mortgages and settle on her quite a princely dower." "Good God!" said Lord Tancred.
