I broke out on him at that: for I was fiercely excited.
"Man," I cried, "there is no question about that. I must see His Majesty instantly."
He looked at me again, as if considering.
"Well," he said. "What must be, must. I will see His Majesty. He is not yet gone to supper."
At the door he turned again.
"The verdict was Guilty?" he said. "You were there and heard it?"
I told him Yes; for I was all impatient.
"And how was that verdict received in court?"
"It was applauded," I said shortly.
He still waited an instant. Then he went out.
