“To-morrow would be better,” said Drew quietly. “She would go in her carriage, of course.”
“Oh no; she would go in one of the royal carriages—the one used by the ladies of honour.”
“Of course. I did not see that.”
“I shall go with her,” said Frank.
“No; she must go to him alone. You saw Sir Robert yesterday. My father thought of that. He said it would be better.”
“I’ll do anything he thinks best.”
“Then go back now, and tell her to be calm, and to try all she can to be strong enough to see the Princess and get the permission.”
“Yes, I’ll go directly,” said Frank. “But you? I don’t want you to run any risks.”
“And I don’t want to. May I stay here till dark?”
“Of course.”
