Von Stromberg:
Withhold judgment until my arrival. Will be at Bremen tomorrow early with Miss Mather, who possesses valuable information.
Rizzio.
General von Stromberg sank deeper into his chair, the paper in his fingers, a smile broadening upon his features. The woman! It was almost too good to be true. Miss Doris Mather, the American girl, Hammersley’s fiancée, coming to Germany with Rizzio. And Hammersley obviously did not know it. Intrigue, mystery and now romance. Tomorrow——
The man still stood awaiting orders. Von Stromberg rose with a yawn.
“Is my room prepared?”
“Yes, Excellenz.”
“Which one?”
“The same as before—next to that of Herr Hammersley.”
