CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT The calm before the hurricane. Throughout the world—except tn Poland and Finland—people were asking: When would real war be* i Bin? But Poland and Finland were so I far away. Elsewhere—even In France and England—the hope still flourished that somehow, in some mysterious way, the threatened ' catastrophe would be averted. On dear days, German observation planes flew in leisurely fashion over England, photographing I docks, arsenals, gasoline stores—and the royal residences. German u-boats continued to exact daily toll. But except in Finland, there were no bombs falling, no cities 1 burning, no armies locked in coml bat. To the contrary, there was i- much talk of German guns that > would not shoot, German planes that would not fly, of a German r people famished, rebellious, ripe for revolution. The Maginot Line seemed so secure and Finland's flrm Mannerheim Lino was in a like category at that time. It was a sort of Indian summer of civilisation; a last, golden dream of peace and security and ease—a dream from which the sleepers were soon to be fearfully awakened. In London, blackout rules were relaxed. Theaters and night clubs were thronged. Titled enemy aliens, allied by blood ties to the Royal Family, were freed from internment and allowed to wander about on parole. The last Londoners who had evacuated to the country in September, began to drift back into the city—some to Mayfair, more to the slums. Gas masks were no longer de rtprur; fewer bomb shelters were built; people laughed at the occasional shrieking alarms—always false—of London's air-raid sirens. Appeasement was officially dead ; but, in spite of everything, Its ghost still stalked o e e o Vaslav’s enthusiasm over the coming charity ball was undiminished. And when the night of the performance came, Covent Garden

Conspicuous, too, was the usual melange of social aspirants —people whe had gladly paid their two-pound-ten for the privilege of mingling with England's great There had been a Anal rehearsal of principals during the afternoon. The chessboard set comprised of the conventional black and white squares, each three feet in diameter, occupied the stage. Back of the curtain, there was the usual feverish, last-minute bustle, augmented by the presence of amateurs in the cast and the fact that this was a first performance. Vaslav was everywhere, moving with cat-like grace about the set, correcting costumes, conferring with electricians and stagehands, speaking quick worda of praise or admonition. Brinda was forced to admire him, even though the thought came to her that, at this time, ho might be better using his gift for organisation In the armed forces. Still . .. it was all for England’s sake. And perhaps there had to be men who danced as well as men who fought Besides, the Prince was Russian, and, the new international line-up being what it was, it was easy to understand why he might feel under no compulsion to take up arms.

A swift, strange smile suddenly lit his face. "Who knows?" he said softly. "Perhops, after this war la done, you shall I" Brinda's eyebrows went up mockingly. "Still mysterious!" “Only until after the ballet." ho whispered. “You know the bargain? My secrete—for your level For your “Are you sure T won’t get the worst of the sxchango?" Brinda sparred. .“You * ha, l judge." answered Vaslav. "But f do not play for low stakes—either in life or love. After all, it takes more than a few assassins to stamp out a dynasty." His head went proudly beck, and Brinda realised as she had never realixed before, that whatever Vaslav’s sins and shortcomings might be, he never forgot he was of royal blood. And also, that whatever he C did, ho would find adequate seifitification in the knowledge that aimed at nothing less than a throne. A man wearing a workrr tn’s eap approached. ‘’Tour pardon!" Vaslav bowed, 1 conferred briefly with the man, and returned. "I'm afraid you nade me , forget my mission.
