After that she spoke of certain foreign she had been taught, recalled walks through corridors and rose gardens with me, till my head swam and I Knew not what to answer. Joan of the Sword Hand laughed a merry peal. The Count von Ixen, did she say? she mediated. "Well, so you are the Count von Loen. I create you the Count von Loen. I give you the title. I give you also therewith the estates which pertain to the title. They are situated on the borders of Relchenau. I am so happy tonight that I would like to make all the world happy. I am sorry for all' the folk I have Injured. "Love changes all things, said the Dane, sententlously. The duchess looked at him qulclfiy. You are In loVe with the Princes Margaret? she said.

My lady, said the youth, I fear not trouble. I have promised to serve the princess in all things. She has been kind to me. She has forgiven me all. "So you are to change your allegiance, said the duchess. "But how did you manage to appease her? That Is no mean feat. She is an imperious lady and quick of understanding. Then Maurice von Lynar told his mistress of his most allowable falsehoods, and begged her not to undeceive the princess, for that he would rather bear all that she might put upon him than that she should know he had lied to her. Do not be afraid, said the duchess, It was I who tangled the skein. So far you have unravelled It very well. The least I can do Is to leave you to unwind It to the end, my brave Count von Loen.
