In his own apartments that evening
Michael the king had passed the timc

Michael to him. "You are very vel

Sachio.
The attendant removed the cork
from the bottle reverently, poured
slowly, gently, the amber fluid into
the tall glasses upon the table. It was

presently. "But pledge your maj

raised his glass and waited.
Drink heartily, good Count Sachio,
said King Michael. "As for myself,
have dined but lately, as I said. The
doctors say dreadful things to me.
You excuse me?"
He had poured but small portion
In his own glass, and raised his hand
against more.
Sachio was obliged to admit to
