- THE TELEGRAM WHICH BEGAN THE BOER WAR
- Keeping my eye fixed on him, I observed carelessly--
- I ventured to raise my eyes to his Majesty’s as I observed--
- His Majesty looked at me fixedly as he answered--
- I waved my hand scornfully.
- I bowed and moved towards the door.
- II
- THE BLOWING UP OF THE _MAINE_
- I bowed gravely.
- I looked back at the Bavarian before demanding--
- I nodded carelessly.
- I shrugged my shoulders and remained silent.
- I gave Monsignor X---- an indignant look, which he bore with coolness.
- III
- THE MYSTERY OF CAPTAIN DREYFUS
- I bowed respectfully as I replied--
- I thought the battle was won, as I responded--
- I need scarcely say that I refer to his brother Louis.
- Briefly, his story came to this:--
- I willingly charged myself with the delivery of the summons.
- IV
- WHAT WAS BEHIND THE TSAR’S PEACE RESCRIPT
- I smiled in my turn, a little grimly, as I responded--
- WHO REALLY KILLED KING HUMBERT OF ITALY?
- I nodded.
- I sent off a third wire:
- I addressed myself boldly to the unknown.
- I sank down on the plank seat and burst into tears.
- VI
- THE PERIL OF NORWAY
- I looked at the King in some surprise.
- I bowed, restraining my curiosity at this unexpected opening.
- I gazed at the King in astonishment.
- I asked the hotel manager--
- I have ventured to take his Majesty at his word.
- VII
- THE RUSE OF THE DOWAGER EMPRESS
- I reflected for an instant.
- M. Bignaud leant forward impressively.
- I received this announcement without manifesting any emotion.
- As he was rising to go he could not resist asking--
- The interpreter went on--
- I ventured to bring him to the point.
- I found his Majesty in his dressing-room alone.
- VIII
- THE ABDICATION OF FRANCIS-JOSEPH
- M. Witte shook his head thoughtfully.
- M. Witte drew himself up, and gave me a suspicious glance.
- M. Witte punctuated this speech with a series of nods.
- I turned the handle of the door, and staggered into the room.
- IX
- THE DEATH OF QUEEN DRAGA
- I folded my arms across my chest, and said nothing.
- I frowned.
- Aloud his Highness remarked--
- I bowed.
- I found myself in a small bedroom, humbly, but comfortably furnished.
- I took out my watch, and cursed each dilatory hand.
- I drew myself up. Recognition flashed in her eyes.
- I smiled bitterly.
- I waved my hand impatiently.
- I was torn between admiration and despair.
- I waited a long time.
- I darted out to meet her, and uttered an oath.
- THE POLICY OF EDWARD VII.
- I lay back in my chair and threw off my hood, as I observed--
- I shrugged my shoulders.
- I affected to yield reluctantly.
- I nodded.
- XI
- THE HUMBERT MILLIONS
- She paused for a moment, and then added, in a less firm tone--
- I gazed at her in consternation.
- I shrugged my shoulders.
- I drew myself up.
- I have never seen her since.
- I smiled quietly as I took up my hat.
- I paid the driver and dismissed him.
- M. Rattache conducted me in, and led the way towards his study.
- XII
- THE BLACK POPE
- I bowed again.
- I hesitated.
- Carried away by these dazzling visions, I exclaimed aloud--
- I glanced at the table, and beheld a portion of a railway ticket.
