Chapter XIII
PRINCE BASIL GALITSYN. ALTHOUGH the packet was again safe in my possession, I was in some perplexity. The czarevna’s directions were emphatic. I was to have delivered it into Prince Galitsyn’s hands on the previous evening, and he was then temporarily at the house of the Boyar Urusof. Where the prince was now, and what the czarevna’s present wishes in regard to the ill-fated packet, I was at loss to conjecture.
