"No blame to you." The queen rose and walked towards him; Bernenstein sprang to his feet.
"Sir," said she, "it is not success but effort that should gain thanks," and she held out her hand.
Well, he was young; I do not laugh at the sob that escaped his lips as he turned his head.
"Let me try something else!" he implored.

I am already deep in his debt, and would be deeper." There was a moment's silence.
"Well, but what's to be done ?" asked Colonel Sapt.

"He's gone to Strelsau." "He'll stop Rupert," mused Mr.Rassendyll.

"He may or he mayn't." "It's odds that he will." "We must provide for both." Sapt and Rudolf looked at one another.
"You must be here!" asked Rudolf of the constable.

"Well, I'll go to Strelsau." His smile broke out.
