[The Lady of the Shroud by Bram Stoker]@TWC D-Link bookThe Lady of the Shroud BOOK IV: UNDER THE FLAGSTAFF 21/79
Why should it? I must not forget that I am here a stranger in the land, and that to the great mass of people even my name is unknown. Perhaps they will know me better when Rooke comes back with that store of arms and ammunition that he has bought, and the little warship he has got from South America.
When they see that I hand over the whole lot to the nation without a string on them, they may begin to believe.
In the meantime all I can do is to wait.
It will all come right in time, I have no doubt.
And if it doesn't come right, well, we can only die once! Is that so? What about my Lady of the Shroud? I must not think of that or of her in this gallery.
