CHAPTER XXXIII “I h»v» had no diplomatic training, Your Majesty, for the more •ettled posts in the international world.” Matreaser reminded his companion, "and I am afraid that the anonymity, which was the chief reason for my success in eome of those former enterprises, it gone." "That ie exactly what 1 expected you to tay,” was the smiling response. “But it is the Empire which calls for the support of such men as you, Matresser. 1 have marked you down for India, Matresser. That is where I think you might continue to serve your country without dropping into the backwaters. .1 shall not detain you longer. I must place myself in the hands of my hostess. I only wished to meet you for a few moments in private. Lord Matresser, to express to you my thanks for what you have done and my earnest hope that you will continue to serve the Empire... Shall we find Lady Tring?" They walked side by eide to the door which the aides-de-camp bad been guarding. The King held out his hand. "If we do not meet again this evening,” he said, “I hope you will think over what I have said” Matresser bowed, making suitable reply, and it was as he once more drew himself erect that the moment (for which he had been secretly hoping) arrived He looked straight into the eyes of Elisabeth who, with her hand upon her uncle’* arm, had come to a standstill only a yard or so away. Matresser now was free to follow his own impulses. He took a single step forward and bowed “I am glad to meet you, Baroness,” he said “Will you be so kind as to introduce me to your uncle? I do not remember that we have met formally." Stamier held out his hand “My niece’s introduction is scarcely necessary It is perhaps fortunate, as she seems to have lost her tongue,” he observed, smiling. “I am very happy to meet you. Lord Matresser If I say no more. 1 am convinced that you understand” Matresser shook hands as Elisabeth. with a musical little laugh, recovered herself, while the Baron made an eageT sign to a tall, very much beribboned diplomat who was i looking wistfully in their direction. “Could 1 presume to far as to leave my niece for a few minutes in your rharge. Lord Matressef?” he begged “You will excuse me, Elisabeth ’ Our friend there has something, I know, to say to me." Neither felt inclined for platitudes. Their silence, however, was quite enough for Stamier who hurried away as they walked in the direction of some palms and seated themselves upon a small settee “So you are willing to converse,” she asked smiling, “with a murderess and a spy?” “I have met both in my life,” he assured her She looked at his medals and he laughed. “No. there are no important decorations yet,” he admitted, “but then I am only a clumsy amateur.” ”And I am not a spy at all,” aha declared “I have never accused you." “Nevertheless," she reproached him, “you refused to take me away with you from that little nest of intrigue at Matresser.” “I knew quite well," be replied, “that you were not in the slightest danger I myself was under govern- i ment orders. It was impossible for me to take you sway or to let you knov where I was going." “Government orders." she repeated “1 do not understand" “Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth." he assured her “That plane was sent to take me to a rendezvous in the Metzger Mountains.; The shooting was only an excuse.” I Elisabeth looked at him in aston-1

ishmenL She was more agitated than he had ever seen her. She clutched his hand "You must explain,” she insisted. "I cannot bear any more mystery.” “As* me anything you will,” he replied. “I know, of course, that you are an English nobleman," she said, “but will you please tell me why you vere singled out fore special audience alone-—you came out from that retiring room with the King—and you were treated on all sides with extraordinary consideration? What have you done in life to have earned all that?” “Shot high pheasants with precision at Sandringham,” he replied with perhaps a shade of bitterness in his tone. She had half risen to her feet, but the touch of his fingers, slight though it was, drew her back again. “I beg your pardon. r he apologised "That was flippant and untrue but you must remember that you have already expressed your opinion of me when I asked you once a very important question.” "Was that opinion not justified?” “It was not justified." Once more the curious sort of numbness seemed to pass from her expression. Once more she was alive. She was breathing quickly. “If that were true!” the murmured “It istrue," he assured her. “What ever I may have been, I have not been an idler. I have no government appointment or anything of that sort but it chanced that very toon after the war, certain facts came to my knowledge while I wa* in a little known part of North Africa, which I passed on to the government with a few remarks of my own. Since then I have undertaken work for them—work sometimes of slight importance; sometimes of moment" She was looking at him, her moiat lips parted, her eyes fixed. “Was it you who were in Berlin for nearly two months?” “Yes." “Was it you whom they tent out to Africa?” “Yes,” he admited. "You were at Count Helm’s shooting lodge?" "I returned from there this morning,” he told her. “I flew etraight from Matresser to the Lodge on the I night I refused you as a passenger." She clutched his arm convulsively; then the teemed to remember where they were and she drew a little away. “I ought to have guessed," she groaned “Thera were so many things I could not understand—von Behrling—oh, a score of them I Never could I have believed that a woman could be so foolish as I have been. If I had not seen you with the King; if I had not watched the way he was talking to you, I might never have realized It was just because I knew that you had the capacity for •o much more,” she went on. “that it made me so bitterly angry when they all talked about your being Lord Lieutenant of the County and you spoke of your travels after wild animals Ann, too, she must have known more of you, yet she accepted it *o naturally. Where is Ann? Is she here by any chance?” Matresser shook his head “She is spending the evening with my ex-pilot" “Your ex-pilot?" He nodded “A very charming young man,” he confided, “who fetched me from Norfolk, took me over to my destination and brought me back again this morning He insisted upon being called Pilot Number 17 but his real name is Prince Maurice von Reisensach." She buried her face for a moment in her hands. "Oh, ! might have known. You| , were at the Helm shooting lodge! j l Yon were one of the seven I" I He was sfleat for a moment re-1

1 lieved of the weight of words, symi pathizing with her distress. “Explanations are such crude . things,” he murmured. “1 have been ’ very fortunate because Ihe truth i has come to you by accident It needed no effort on m- part to bring you understanding. I wonder 1 how long we shall be left here un- ! disturbed." She raised her head and listened. , There was a deep hubbub of voices beyond the screen of palms. , "Listen for a moment” she begged i “It seems so strange to realize what i is happening all around us, how the reverberation of tonight this night es crisis, and the conversation of the j last few days, all streaming across Europe from that gathering where you sat with the others—all that is going to make a great step in his- ■ tory—to the reestablishment of all ■ that we hold dear. Am I a little • hysterical, Ronald? You must forgive me." "I shall forgive you everything ■ that there may be to forgive because tonight I shall ask you once more—” • She put her hand in his. t “Do you need to ask, dear?" she Interrupted, with a little break in , her voice and a fond gleam in her eyes. “I am Austrian,” she confided, “and emotion makes me hungry. • Have you to go back to the others or can we find a corner together?” “Find a corner by all means," he replied hastily. “To tell the truth," : he added as they strolled out, • “dinner didn’t go very well with me. ■ 1 was being cross-examined all the ■ time by a very earnest lady who had 1 serious political views We will con--1 tinue to exchange confidences, but 1 confidences about ourselves—just our two selves—and all that is going to happen to us." The supper party t deux was so much of a success that the sudden intrusion of their host came almost like a nightmare. Sir Francis, too seemed tr carry with him all the suggestions of an overwhelming catastrophe. “Baroness," he said, “my dear Matresser, I owe you s thousand apologies for this inhospitable disturbance. M#tresser, we ne“d your help I" Elisabeth raised her eyebrows slightly. Her first instinct of resentment showed itself clearly. “My escort seems to be very much in demand tonight” she remarked pathetically. Matresser himself, although he had risen to his feet, showed some signs of irritability as he turned to Sir Francis. “Is it something really vital, sir?” he asked. “It has taken me so long to find the Baroness and we had arrived at a stage in our conversation—” “The matter," Sir Francis assured. “is of urgency or I should not have intruded. My wife is on her way here to take charge of the Baroness.” Matresser leaned towards his companion. “You will wait for me. Elisabeth?" “It depends,” she answered with a slight trembling of the lip. “Perhaps this time you are going to Tokyo or the other end of the world. My patience has its limits!” “Please wait” he begged. “That I promise,” she replied Matresser was literally dragged (away by bis host. “Royalty has just deserted us.” jtbe latter eonfided “Driver, home, ! I think, by the news. I want you ito come to my room. Matresser : Atkinson, my secretary, is glued to the telephone. He is talking to Paris and is holding the line open “ Matresser understood at once. “So the trouble is that way, is it” Sir Francis nodded.
