I read the letter he handed to me; it was of importance.
"We must leave to-morrow early," I said.
"How shall we travel?"
"We will ride to Ruln, it will be the quickest way."
"Horses?"
"The Prince will lend us some."
"We can do it in a day if we start early and catch the night train. I am sorry, my boy, that your holiday has been spoilt."
"Spoilt? Not a bit, I have enjoyed it tremendously."
"We have not been to Sonale."
"Damn Sonale!"
