That we know. Sir Vasca," said the
princess. looking fxedly at him
She did not take her eyes from him
while he spoke. Perhaps he saw dis
trust in them. for, after beginning so
humbly, he went on bitterly enough:

that nothing has been done. We are

For a moment there was silence:
then q murmur ran through the hall
and then a great roar. She had touch

the way for me.
You, our priests, have somewhat
against the knight" she said when the
shouting had ceased. "and you. our
loyal knights. Speak honestly, and
you. Sir Verrau. answer honestly, so
justice shall be done"
She looked first at the chief of the
priests. then at Count Vasca and then
at me.
The priest began to speak In a rather
singsong tone. as though be were re-
citing a lesson he had committed to
memory.
