“If you mean that, there will be no difficulty.”
“I give you my word of honour. Let me put my second question. Do you pledge yourself, you mademoiselle, personally, for my safety?”
“Unconditionally, and so will M. Boreski.”
“I don’t care about him. It is to you I trust.”
I felt her start and her voice was unsteady as she replied—
“On my honour, your Majesty shall not regret that confidence.”
“Then I will do anything and everything you ask. I put myself absolutely in your hands.”
She rose then and spoke to the chauffeur.
“M. Boreski says your spies are dogging us and that the streets are alive with them.”
“That is M. Boreski?” I asked indicating the chauffeur.
