[Rupert of Hentzau by Anthony Hope]@TWC D-Link bookRupert of Hentzau CHAPTER V 19/34
He's looking for Colonel Sapt. The King has been walking in the drive, and learnt from a sentry of Rischenheim's arrival.
I told the man that you had taken the count for a stroll round the castle, and I did not know where you were.
He says that the king may come himself at any moment." Sapt considered for one short instant; then he was back by the prisoner's side. "We must talk again later on," he said, in low quick tones.
"Now you're going to breakfast with the king.
I shall be there, and Bernenstein. Remember, not a word of your errand, not a word of this gentleman! At a word, a sign, a hint, a gesture, a motion, as God lives, I'll put a bullet through your head, and a thousand kings sha'n't stop me.
