"I do not know what it all means, but I'm going to accept the invitation, though I am not sure I am right in doing so. What do you think about it, Sam?"
"I don't think. I've gotten past thinking. Things are moving too fast for me. I'm out of commission."
"Do you know why the ambassador wishes to see us?" he asked of the servant.
"No, sir. He did not say, sir. He said he would tell you when you arrive. Will you be ready soon?"
"We are ready now. We will be with you as soon as we get our hats."
It took the lads but a few moments to make themselves ready, after which they hurried down to the street. There they found a handsome carriage, with a coachman on the box, awaiting them.
Entering, they were driven rapidly away.
"This is different," laughed Dan, settling back among the soft cushions.
"Yes; it's somewhat different from last evening," answered Sam. "We didn't have any soft things like these to sit on then."
"No; and we knew little more about what was going to happen then than we do now."
