    CHapter7 Back to Zenda very day I was sent a secret report by the Chief of Police, and the next afternoon 1 was playing cards with Fritz when Sapt brought it in. We learned that Duke Michael and the Three had left Strelsau, and that Antoinette de Mauban had also left. They had gone to Zenda. “Sapt, we must also go to Zenda and bring the King home at once!’ I cried. And so the next day Sapt, Fritz and I Left Strelsau to go to Tarlenheim House. This fine modern house belonged to Fritz’s uncle and was near the Castle of Zenda. We had ten brave young men with us. Sapt had told them that a friend of the King’s was a prisoner in the Castle of Zenda and that the King needed their help. Michael, of course, knew of my arrival. I had not been in the house an hour when he sent three of the Six to me. These were not the three men who had tried to kill me. This time he sent the three Ruritanians ~ Lauengram, Krafstein and young Rupert of Hentzau. ‘Duke Michael is very sorry that he can’t welcome you himself,’ explained Rupert of Hentzau. ‘But, sadly, he’s ill at the moment’ ‘T hope that my dear brother will soon be better,’ I replied with a smi Rupert threw back his head, shook his black hair and laughed. ‘Oh, I'm sure he wi he answered, For dinner that evening, Fritz and I went to the Little hotel. in the town of Zenda where I had stayed before. ‘Ask for a room where we can eat alone,’ I said to Fritz. ‘And ask the girl to bring our food. T covered my face and the girl came and put the food down on the table. When she turned to go, she looked at me and I let her see my face. ‘The King}’ she cried. ‘You were the King! Oh, I'm sorry, sirl I'm sorry! The things that we said! ‘Forget that now,’ I answered. ‘You can help me. Tell no one that the King is here.’ She looked very serious. ‘How's your friend Johann?’ I began. She looked surprised. ‘Oh, we don't see him very often now,’ she answered. ‘He's very busy at the castle’ ‘But could you ask Johann to come here tomorrow night? At ten o'clock, maybe, on the road out of Zenda.’ “Yes, sir... You're not going to hurt him?" ‘Not if he does what I say. Go now, and say nothing about this.” oz ‘ftopna pios a 8 aaa a pron uoqnow apanauiowy pau SSS 299) auf, Bulpoas ‘hopny pos g Sopnypswamsus pysomg CS —— fiopny 04 pips dos z Dy [Dad 34} OU Wi] MOU UOO: ‘3)/ddad, ‘dosoy pins fopna T (-qy61u0y anauioauy ) eau 0} anvy | ( epvap Bury 2u9 st (fommba (Bupi 1wau avn you_uts-) mo jim ajdoad (Bupa eels ‘'y20q 06 1,uop nok Ji uoop ain) \_vado bu ily “nok 0} 4103 03 JUN ant “Apuassoy AW iuapin6 ayy Jo pua ayy ) 3p Japp] 0 s,219UL 105 srauosud s,/20491W p0}a say ang ‘jou aqkowy “sepuenues oun yore zfos fous PIP ADU. € {usayy ynoyzim a20}d 4aMaq D aq Tm olUDYLNY -xIs ayy fo BuO fuane TH TL, “ydos payso {2043 5204M, 231 2009) I alofag o1uysny 40f Bu1yy auo op W1J, ‘plos 1 sdos, 0} paqupm fiayy nofi som 31 ang ‘padoosa ay os ‘asnoy, ‘a4 498U 00} auu03 0} pasos azam fiays ‘fixom] SoM a} “UDI ay os ‘wy 30 Bugooys payioys fiayy fiuappns ‘usw aaiyy ‘0s 34 pud spoom 24} Ul Bupy}OM som a} WUD siy UI! y>TINg pf 02 pain fisua ‘Tham, jai so 702 sD ynogo ‘unui 6u013s ‘pos y, “params I ,'2s1N02 fo, ,{uaus anofi fo auo ‘ujaysuausag MOUY NoA, “PIDs ay ,jnofi YyyIM azo 40 ua X15 anby nofi ssayun 3no 06 3,u0g ‘ual sj2042IW axna, “paysoT ZOU, “pan ay ,gwiayy uaas nofi any, sn 330 0} Buyuuns ydos mos am uaym 1 pay>oas souN]D poy aM sno} WIsyuaUD] 0} 990q O6 0} afay am oUUIP JOYfy D us mou silpasdn 59H 1 Choose the best answer. 1 Why did Sapt tell Rudolf to go back to Strelsau? @ tohelp the real King b tohelp Duke Michael 2 Where did they go after the fight with the Duke's men? a the Castle of Zenda b Strelsau 3.

He was not scared of my men, but asked to speak with me alone. He said he had a message for me from the Duke of Strelsau. I asked my friends to move away, and Rupert came and sat down near me. ‘Rassendyll,’ he began, ‘the Duke... ‘Don't you know how to speak to the King?’ I asked “Why pretend with me?’ “Because it isn't finished yet’ ‘Well, I'm here because I want to help you... & on fowosouer a toraufoared onb ‘gay soous 19140} 03} © YM — uaws snosabuop sjaoy2iw a4nq YBnef poy 1 asno2aq ayn} am ‘apos am so ‘puly “auuioy fiom sno uo aiam am 4930] spuores pun sasioy ay} YM Burm som ydos, Tom ayy 4an0 pup 3! dn som J aynuUs b ur ja1ay3 som J9ppo) au, “uapso6 ayy fo pua ayy paysoar T gyom ayy fig Jeppo) » fijjoad azayy som {qYBU aTaUIOUy SOM “aU sayfo Buywo> ways s08y pynod 1's9a13. 943 YBnowyy aft Fut of wos pun dn fasfiu: payaid 1 Aippinp sayjo yooa fo do} uo Taf 71 aM pu punosB ayy 0} WAY pax20Uy 21403 a4} puoras XU BY °219D} BYR HY SyeTING BYR Ng ‘aU JOYS O} pals} fioy.pino I so puoy so way yo D1 J ynoys © YrIM “pos sranjonas J19u} YUM a194y BuIpuDys azam UAL aaliy au pup ‘om} 4430 342 YZIM SDA ‘UDLUY>UaL4 243 ‘J9INDD aq ;pauado sop ayy 1830) puoras ¥ uous uo Jo painss nofi aio ‘ujuosiag ‘ym, ‘uo1b}ag ayy 0} plos rDypyaq WaYR pub ‘EURO Y>DE Yai BuINBuo Ways pay T {Hoop ayy uado, ‘payo> 1 ‘22360 1 3UBU Ty, p2}!0m pup wioo1 ayy fo 4204 a4} 0} JUaM | UaYs “s6a) ayy fig ‘aw Jo quo4f UI pay pud 21903 243 dn paxpid 1 si1oy> awios pud 21903 uaps06 joyous Mbs pub asnoy sawWuuns aly punouD pa¥o0) I ‘AIPM. “paromsuo T ,>IUIY} 0} a}NUIW 0 ALL ARID, upuiysii6ua au ‘pioypiaq panujuo> ,‘spunod ysn6uz punsnoyy Ayfif nof ‘2n16 71,0m pu Finnuno> ayy anda} nof f1 06 nofi 391 TAM, ‘2U 30 UNJ pynom au) ‘oop ayy pauado 1 uaym ‘days do} 243 uo axam fiayy 304} mos pub uIDBo a}oy ay Yonosyy payoo) 1 “pandas 1 oop ay; YBno1yy »10} UD> AAA, woop ‘ayy uado ‘nofi 0} 410} 0} qUOM Fijuo ay, “uoWIYs!BUR ;pay1O9 ay ,IspUDY axOYs, ‘pUDY IYBH sIY yno and aH °y209 auld ay fijuappns yng ‘pauuny yadny FiuBuo paynoys T Jnofi 11p| 1 a10faq ‘mou 05, “wy spiomo} days 0 4003 1 “fijpno) paysno) ay puy ,gsmouy om ‘Buo] moy sof 3ng, “pandas ay ,enty, appo 1 ,jvuoslid inofi smo}, ‘pay6n0} 1 3q 3.0m nofi ang, "paiamsuo I 'S3A, “fijssaye109 pappo ay uaup aip ysnus no, jsn ayy] Uaw puDyssapun 3,us20p JBOD aYNG, “PauD ay ,j3} Mau T, “Ppay6no] adny “fyayorpauiun pandas r ‘asnfas 1, {spunod pupsnoyy paspuny p nofi ani6 pup fizzuno> 84} Jo yno fiyafos nofi 9403 11,9H “@x09) 0} nofi supm aH, “payso I ,QuoMm ang aug seop YN “aBossaus ayy aw: anIG UDYL, 1p aw aas 0} wo19 86 no ypu nah a 21 spum oH ‘Close the door!’ she said. ‘We must be quick, Mr Rassendyll! Michael made me write the letter ~ three men are coming to kill you ~ three of the Six! They'll tell everyone that Sapt and Fritz von Tarlenheim murdered you. Then Michael will make himself King and marry icess Flavia.’ ‘But the King,’ I said. ‘I know he's in the Castle of Zenda, but where?’ ‘Go across the drawbridge and you will come toa heavy door . .. Listen! What's that? They're coming! They're too soon! Put out your lamp!’ she cried, her eyes filled with fear. ‘Quickly! You must go. There's a ladder at the end of the garden, next to the wall!’ But it was too Late. The three men were already outside. . There was a small hole in the door, and I put my ee " ‘eye to it. My hand was on my revolver. It was no good! There were three of them. I could kill one perhaps, but then A voice came from outside. ‘Mr Rassendyll ..” It was the Of course, he knew what I would do. I put my hands behind my back. Quickly, his left hand moved towards me. In it, he held a dagger and it was coming straight at my heart! I jumped to one side, and the dagger went deep into my shoulder. Before my friends could do anything, Rupert of Hentzau was on his horse and galloping through the trees. I heard my men going after him with their guns ~ and then everything went black. When I awoke it was dark, and Fritz was at my bedside. He told me that I was not badly hurt, and that the plan to catch Johann had been successful. ‘He seems pleased to be here,’ Fritz said. ‘I think he’s scared of Duke Michael” Later Sapt brought Johann up to see me. At first Johann was scared to speak, but then he started to talk. We asked him many questions, and finally Johann gave us the information we wanted. In the Castle of Zenda, near the drawbridge and below the ground, there were two small rooms, cut out of the rock. In the first of these rooms there were always three of the Six. At the back of this room there was a door which went into the second room. The King was in the second room. “If someone tries to get into the first room, two of the three men will fight, but Rupert of Hentzau or Detchard will run into the second room and kill the King,’ Johann said. ‘There’s a small window in the second room with a large pipe going down into the moat outside,’ he went on. ‘You can get a man inside it, and they'll tie a heavy stone to the King's body and push it down the pipe. The body will go down and disappear under the water, and shoulder thetop ofthe arm here ilons heb sucessful getting rdoing what you Information things hot you wsontta know bout something oats pipe oround place lsappear togo ‘ay suey 35 handwriting the way someane vrtes messoge somthing that one pesontels fnotne parson to Seytosameone sony tomate revoiver osmall, gunteldinthe hone 24 th a tea table Cuapter 6 An adventure oO" day Sapt brought me some news ~ he had found ‘out where the King was. Duke Michael was holding him prisoner somewhere in the Castle of Zenda. Sapt also brought me a letter. It was in a woman's handwriting. ‘Thave an important message for you,’ the Letter began. ‘Meet me tonight in the garden of the big house in New Avenue. Come at midnight, and come alone.’ There was another note on the back of the letter. ‘Ask yourself which woman does not want Black Michael to marry Princess Flavia. From A. de M! ‘Antoinette de Mauban!’ I cried. ‘She wants to marry the Duke, but he Loves Princess Flavia’ “That's true,’ Sapt said. ‘But you won't go, of course. They'll Kill you! Duke Michael made her write this letter! ‘T must,’ T replied. ‘Every day we play this game there's more danger. I could make a mistake at any time, and if T do, we'll all die. Don't you see? I have to go tonight. We can't go on much longer” ‘Then I'm coming too,’ said Sapt. So, at half-past eleven that night, Sapt and I rode out to the house in New Avenue. We left Fritz to watch my room in the palace. The night was dark, so I took a lamp. I also had my revolver and a knife. We soon reached the house and came to a gate in the wall. I got off my horse. ‘TU wait here,’ said Sapt. ‘If hear anything, TU “Stay where you are!’ I answered quickly. It’s the King's only chance. They mustn't kill you to the murderers will then go down the pipe themselves, and swim actoss the moat! ‘And if I bring an army to the castle?’ I asked. “Duke Michael will still murder the King,’ replied Johann. ‘He won't fight. He'll kill the King and push his body down the pipe. And he'll put one of the Six in the prison. He’lL say the man had done something to make him angry. That will stop the stories about a prisoner in Zenda’ Johann stopped for a minute, but then he added, ‘If they know I’ve told you this, they'll kill me. They're all bad, but Rupert of Hentzau is the worst. Don’t let them kill me...” ‘AlLright,’Isaid. ‘But if anyone asks you who the prisoner of Zenda is, don't tell him. If you do, Y'U kill you myself!’ Johann left the room and I looked at Sapt. ‘It doesn't matter what plan we make,’ I said. ‘The King will be dead before we can get to him! Sapt shook his grey head angrily. ‘You'll still be King of Ruritania in a year's time’ ‘Maybe one of the Duke's men will turn against him ... Tsaid. ‘Impossible,’ replied Sapt. ‘Then I don't know what we'll do,’I said. fat tohit fFomeoneogain Impossiote not pombe 2p|syno 300 ayy oWU!

Luckily the streets were still empty. We arrived at the palace, went in, and got to the dressing room. When we opened the door, Fritz was asleep, but he woke immediately. When he saw me, he fell to the ground and cried, ‘Your Majesty! You're safe!” ‘Well done, boy!” Sapt shouted. ‘He believed yout” Fritz stood up. He looked at me, up and down, down and up. Then he took a step backwards. ‘Where's the King?’ he cried ‘Be quiet,’ Sapt warned him. ‘Someone will hear!’ Fritz’s face was white now. ‘Is the King dead?’ he asked quietly. ‘Maybe not,’ I answered. ‘But he is Black Michael's prisoner’ That day was a long one for me. Sapt talked to me for three hours about what I must do and what I must say, what I liked and what I didn't like. Then I had to do some of the King's business, but, because my finger was hurt, I did not have to write my name on any papers. When, at last, I was alone with Sapt and Fritz, we started to talk about Black Michael. Fritz told me that Black Michael had six very dangerous men among his servants — three Ruritanians, a Belgian, a Frenchman and an Englishman. They did anything that the Duke ordered, and did not stop at murder. Three of them — the foreigners, Fritz had heard — were in Strelsau now with Duke Michael. Sapt banged the table with his hand in excitement. ‘Then the King must be alive! Michael's brought the Activi' the Chief of Police Rudolf, Fritz and Sapt learn from Antoinette de-Mauban that Duke Michael and the Three have left Strelsau. So they go to a hotel near the Castle of Zenda. Four brave young men go with them. Michael sends three of the Six to see Rudolf. Rupert of Hentzau tells Rudolf that the Duke hasn't come himself because he is busy, That evening Fritz and Sapt go to have dinner in the hotel where Rudolf stayed before. After dinner Sapt tells Rupert not to go out alone. He says Duke ‘Michael's men started smiling at Bernenstein. The next day Rupert tries to hit Rudolf 4 What do you think happens next?

For a few minutes we said nothing. Then Sapt cried, ‘The Duke's men have taken the King prisoner!” “Then we must get back and wake everyone in Strelsaut!” I cried. ‘We must catch Black Michael before he kills the King! ‘Who knows where the King is now?’ Sapt answered. ‘Then suddenly he began to Laugh. ‘But we've given Black “Yes, my boy. We'll. go back to Strelsau. The King will be in his palace in Strelsau again tomorrow! ‘No!’ I cried. ‘Yes!’ Sapt answered. ‘It’s the only way to help him. Go back and take his place for him! ‘But the Duke knows...” ‘Yes, but he can't speak, can he? What can he say? “This man isn’t the King because I've taken the real King Can he say that?" ‘But people will soon know I'm not the real said ‘Maybe, maybe not,’ said Sapt. ‘But we must have a King in Strelsau, or Michael will ride in tomorrow as the new King! Listen, boy, if you don't go back to Strelsau, they'll Kill the King. And if you do go back, they can’t kill the King. Because if they kill him, how can they ever say that you're not the real King? Don’t you see?’ he cried. ‘It’s a dangerous game, but it gives us a chance of winning. It was a wild, hopeless plan, but I was young. I would never have the chance of an adventure like this again. “Sapt, YUL try it,’ 1 Michael a problem,’ he s« prisoner and murdered his servant 9," I six men hid there with the horses. Then Sapt tied the rope around one of the trees near the water. I pulled off my boots, put the stick between my teeth and gently went down the rope into the water. I was going to take a look at the pipe. It had been warm and bright that day, and the water was not cold. Slowly and carefully I swam around the dark walls of the castle. There were lights in the new buildings, and from time to time T heard people shouting and Laughing. ‘That must be young Rupert and his friends,’ T thought. Suddenly a dark shape appeared in front of me. It was the pipe! The bottom of it was very wide and came out into the moat. And then I saw something which nearly made my heart stop. It was a boat, and in the boat there was a man! His gun was beside him, but, Luckily, he was asleep. As quietly as I could, I moved closer. The man still slept. Thad very little time. Someone could come at any minute. T looked up at where the pipe went through the wall into the prison, There was a thin line of light at the bottom edge Theard Detchard’s voice, and then I heard the King reply. Just then the light went out, and, in the darkness, I heard the King crying. I did not call to him. I had to get away safely — and take the watchman with me. climbed quietly into the boat and hit the man hard on the head with my stick. He fell back in the boat without a sound. No one could hear me because the wind was strong, But from somewhere behind me, I heard a shout. Someone was calling to the watchman. I reached the side of the moat where Sapt and Fritz were waiting. Quickly, I tied the rope round the man’s body and Sapt and Fritz pulled it up. Then I climbed up the rope myself.

The underground room was empty. The old woman had 1 his horse, galloped to the moat and jumped into the water with our bullets flying round our ears. Our men tried to shoot him in the water, but it was too dark and we Lost him. We had killed two of the Six—Lauengram and Krafstein — but I was angry. Three of our brave friends were also dead, and we carried them home with a heavy heart. And I did not like to hear Rupert call me a play-actor. Of course, Michael and I could not let the people know that we were enemies. So, in the daytime it was safe to be in the town of Zenda. One day, soon after our night outside the castle, I was riding through the town when T saw a group of people dressed in black. Rupert of Hentzau was with them, and when he saw me he turned his horse and came towards me. ‘tt’s the funeral of my dear friend, Lauengram,’ he said, in answer to our question. ‘Ym sorry your friend is dead,’ I said to him, Rupert turned and rode away. I went after him. “You fought bravely the other night,’ I said, ‘and you're young. Help me save the King ~ and I'll help you: But Rupert was not interested. ‘No,’ he answered. ‘But if they were both dead - the King and the Duke ~ then you could be King, and I could be rich. When I returned home, there was a message from Antoinette de Mauban. ‘Thelped you once. Help me now. Save me from this terrible place! Save me from these murderers!” Iwas sorry for her, but what could I do? sunerl hetime wen adeod pevon's put Under the ground “pins T ja10y 3,us!

When he saw me, his face turned white. Clearly, he was surprised and very unhappy to see me, The coronation seemed to last for hours, but I said and did all the right things. At Last it was over, and I was now the King of Ruritanial ‘Twonder what the real King is doing now,’ I thought. The royal dinner went on for a Long time, but at Last Fritz, Sapt and I were alone in the King’s dressing room. “You did well,’ Fritz said, ‘but, Rassendyll, be careful! Black Michael looked blacker than ever today,’ ‘Come on,’ Sapt cried. ‘We must leave for Zenda at once, to find the King! If we're caught, we'll all be killed! Black ‘Michael has had a letter from Zenda, so perhaps he knows already. Don’t unlock the door, Fritz, while we're away, or you'll be a dead man. Say the King must be left alone to rest. Now, come on. The horses are ready,’ Fritz and I shook hands, then I covered my red hair and most of my face. Sapt and I left the room by a secret door, and we found ourselves outside, at the back of the palace gardens. A man was waiting there with two horses. Soon we left the town behind us and we were out in the country, We rode like the wind and by ten o'clock had come to the forest of Zenda. Suddenly Sapt stopped. ‘Listen!” he said quietly. ‘Horses behind us! Quick! Get down!" The castle’s to the Left,’ he inued. ‘Our road’s to the rig We hid in the thick trees, and we waited and watched. The men came nearer. It was Black Michael and another man. When they came to the two roads, they stopped. “You must take this Letter to Madame de Mauban,'I said, ‘and tomorrow, at two o'clock in the morning, you must open the front door of the new castle. Tell the others that you need air, or something — and then escape’ Johann was very scared, but he seemed to understand. I explained my plan to Sapt and Fritz. ‘When Johann opens the front door, I said, ‘Sapt and his men will run into the castle and hold the men who are sleeping there. At the same time Antoinette will scream loudly again and again. She'll cry “Help! Help me, Michael!” And she'll shout Rupert of Hentzau's name. Duke Michael will hear and he'll run out of this room — straight into the hands of Sapt! Sapt will get the key from the Duke and let down the drawbridge. Rupert and De Gautet will hear the noise and hurry to cross the drawbridge. PU hide by the bridge, in the moat, and when they try to cross, I'll kill them. Then we'll hurry to the room in the old castle where the King is, and kill Detchard and Bersonin before they have time to kill the King’ ‘The others listened in silence. It was a very dangerous plan, and I did not really think it would work — but we had to try!

We went downstairs and there was the King, still in his clothes, lying on the floor. When Sapt pushed him with his hand, he did not move. “We've been trying to wake him for half an hour,’ said Fritz. ‘But he's sleeping like a dead man! The three of us looked at each other. ‘Was there something in that cake?’ I asked. ‘T don't know,’ Sapt said, ‘but if he doesn’t get to his coronation today, there'll never be a coronation for him. ‘All Ruritania is waiting for him in Strelsau and Black Michael with half the army, too. We can't tell them that +the King can't wake up to go to his own coronation!” “Tell me, do you think somebody put something in that cake?’ Iasked. ‘Tt was Black Michael” Fritz replied. ‘We all know he wants to be King himself. For a moment or two we were all silent, and then Sapt looked at me and said, ‘You must go to Strelsau and take his place!” T looked at him. ‘You're crazy, man! How can I do that? The King... ‘It’s dangerous, I know,’ said Sapt. ‘But it’s our only chance. If you don't go, Black Michael will be King and the real King will be dead or a prisoner’ How could I say no? It took me two minutes to decide. ‘TU go!’ Isaid. ‘Well done, boy!’ cried Sapt. He went on quickly and quietly. ‘After the coronation they'll take us to the palace ‘A few minutes later Rupert crossed the drawbridge and it was pulled up. The light in Duke Michael's room went out, but a light came on, and stayed on, in Antoinette’s room. In the silent darkness, I waited. For about ten minutes everything was quiet, but suddenly I heard a noise on my side of the moat. A dark shape appeared in the gateway to the bridge, then turned and began to climb down some hidden steps in the wall. It was Rupert of Hentzau again - with a sword! Silently he went down into the water and swam across the moat. Then he climbed out and I heard him unlock the door. It was clear that Rupert of Hentzau had his own secret plans for that night. } onus Fan 4940 y>o9 ay T9OYPIW y>0}8 PUP BUY aL 8 ‘9snoy 5.3) AYR UL WIY URI J9UUIP anoY 03 flopny saRIAUI Buy aUL .opuaz fo ayyso9 aug uy Buy mau ayy sy2ou flopna 9 “Bupj aq 03 J20421W a¥NA AUOM ipo) plo ayy puD UUBYOL ¢ 20421W a4Ng 0} s6uojaq Opuaz fo aysvI 241 7 sayyof s]20upIW ayn 51 Bury MOU ayL € plupyuna fo Bury mau ayy ul paysaiaqul si flopna z ‘gof b anoy 3,usa0p ay asnoraq pos si nfipuassoy fopny T ea) 2510$ 10 (4) anuy saauaquas asoyp oxy BUUIA yuay|29K9 UD poy am a1aym ‘9snoY 594NG ay} 04 P>UIMID! aM B ‘BUG7D 0g 0} payuom ay uaym 211509 pyo uy Oyu!

But the doctor was also in the room and the brave little man had thrown himself at Detchard. He gave his life for the King, because, as I entered, Detchard pulled himself free and drove his sword into the doctors side. Then, with an angry shout, Detchard turned to me. We fought long and hard. Detchard was an excellent swordsman, and I was growing tired. He drove me back against the wall, gave me a deep cut in the arm, and began to smile.

The Englishman, jumping to one side, turned his sword against the King, and with a cry 6 sc suosied ssiyouo upon oi pedsroure -daajs0 110 a1am am ‘axfo uoos fiop quoyiodusy \ou10W0} “pag 0} 06 5327 240) 51, ‘pins ados UayL -aqpjd aug uo som yous 110 930 ay puy poof sty fo paioas you wi ‘TEM, “pau Bury ayy ,i1@042!W y>01g YUDYR ysNW aM UAYL, {uoROU0I0> nof a1ofeq fiop ayy uo 2409 siug nofi s1affo Jaoyaiw ana, ‘pis pu Bury ayp fo yuo4f uy yD) 0 uMop ynd a} "u! aUuDD quOMas au ‘fesor pio ‘Buna paysiuy poy am say “reuuIp yuay|eoxe uo poy am a1aya ‘ysai0§ 243 u! a6po) 4g ayy 0} pauinyas an ujsno> ‘awioD, ‘plos Bury BY} ,‘MOIJOLO} UO!,DUCIOD a4} yNOgD yUINR 1.2m “YO, wy um paai6o ydos pun “paysiom ‘pos zy ‘nosjans 0} 06 01 Mipuassoy sy 40f ap! poob fren 0 3,us! 1 aqhow, aud ay ,jsn fo omy aso axauy yOu Saas J2DY>IW 1943019 jun 310M, “UI60 y6no) 0} paynys ay uayp Ing “snouas SOM ay WuaWOU 0 sof pud ‘spuaLsf s1y 30 paxoo) Bury a4, Uo!ADUOIO9 a4} 0} — 41S ‘NDS}aS OL, (£04 Busq}@n04} nofi a1 194M, “PaLD ay ,jUIsNoD sqUNOD ius 0} aWO>}a/A jsuIsROD 2g ysnw am ‘os, ‘fypno) yBn0} 0} uDbaq ay Arueppns uayp ‘2q1Ws pasnuso up 03 iymoys pabuoyp astudins s,6upy ayy Da sty ul fijainb ayods pup Bury ay} 0} JUam yds, IY} S| OYM"** ZW *"* UDIdoD, ‘paso ay ways yng ‘Buiyou pins Gury au juawOW 0 404 iuy ay 211 sn paxoo) 1Hfipuassoy Sjopny pun ‘fipuassoy fiopny sf payoo ojuoyuny Jo Bury ayy “asuduns uappns up st “nozquay fo yadny yam ystuyf 07 346, b poy 1 “yoow ay} oyu!

But I saw that Madame de Mauban went on to Stretsau, the capital. Twas welcomed very kindly at my hotel. It belonged to an old lady and her daughter. From them I learned that the coronation was to be on the day after next, and not in three weeks. The old lady was more interested in Duke Michael of Strelsau than in the new King. The Castle of Zenda and all the Land around it belonged to the Duke, but the old lady said, ‘Duke Michael should be king. He spends all his time with us. Every Ruritanian knows him, but we never see the new King.” But her daughter cried, ‘Oh no, I hate Black Michael. T want a red Elphberg ~ and the King, our friend Johann says, is very red. Johann works for the Duke and he’s seen the King. In fact, the King’s staying just outside Zenda now,’ she added. ‘He's resting at the Duke's hunting Lodge in the forest before going on to Strelsau on Wednesday {for his coronation. The Duke's already in Strelsau, getting everything ready. ‘Are they friends?’ I asked. ‘Friends who want the same place and the same wife," the girl replied. ‘The Duke wants to marry his cousin, but people say she’s going to be King Rudolf’s wife and become the Queen’ Just then their friend, Johann, entered the room. “We have a visitor, Johann,’ the girl's mother said, and Johann turned towards me. But when he saw me, he stepped back, with a look of surprise on his face. ‘What's the matter, Johann?’ the daughter asked. ‘Good evening, sir’ Johann said, still Looking at me. He did not seem to like what he saw. Chapter 12 Goodbye to Ruritania \d Sapt worked hard to keep our secret hidden. He sent messages, told lies and gave orders. All his plans were successful — no one ever found out that for a short while there were two Kings in Rurita Before I returned to England, I saw the King once more. He thanked me and shook my hand. We both knew that we would never meet again it was too dangerous, and I knew then that I didn’t want any more adventures. I live quietly now, but every year Fritz and I meet in a little town outside Ruritania. There, he gives me news of the king and his wife, Queen Flavia.

Just then my brother, Robert, came in. When he looked at Rose, he could see that there was something wrong. “What's the matter, my dear?’ he said. ‘Oh, she’s angry because I never do anyt! because I've got red hair; I said. ‘Well, I know he can’t do much about his hair, or his nose ...’ Rose began. ‘No, the nose and the hair are in the family,’ my brother ‘agreed. ‘And Rudolf has both of them? ‘Maybe I should stop for a moment and explain that the Rassendylls are descendants of Prince Rudolf of Ruritania, of the Elphberg family. Prince Rudolf had blue eyes, an unusually long straight nose and a lot of dark red hair. He was tall and very good-looking, but he was also a scoundrel. So, for many generations the Rassendylls have preferred to forget they were once closely related to the Elphbergs. But because my hair was red and I had the Elphberg nose, Rose wortied about me. In the end, I promised to get a job in six months’ time. This gave me six free months to enjoy myself first. ‘And an idea came to me—I would visit Ruritania. None of my family had ever been there. I saw in the newspaper that, in three weeks, the new young King, Rudolf the Fifth, would have his coronation. It would be an interesting time to visit the country. T knew my family would not like me to go, so I told them I was going walking in Austria. 1g useful, and Who do these sentences describe? Write the names.
