Chapter XXIII
The next morning saw the breaking-up of Dominey's carefully arranged shooting party. The Prince took his host's arm and led him to one side for a few moments, as the cars were being loaded up. His first few words were of formal thanks. He spoke then more intimately. “Von Ragastein,” he said, “I desire to refer back for a moment to our conversation the other day.”
