mockery in the words, or some fresh affront; but in the obsequious bow
of his majordomo there was no mockery, and the table beyond glistened

wafted insidiously through the open doors.

The King rose with a gentle sigh, and nodded to his companion.

"Come, Barrat," he said, taking the baron's arm in his. "The rascals
have robbed us of our throne, but, thank God, they have had the grace
to leave me my appetite."
