"Madame," said I, "for your sake I'll go, if it's no more than a
beggarly Legation. When I do a thing, I don't do it by halves." My promise,
then, was given; but six months are six months, and seem an eternity, and,
inasmuch as they stretched between me and my prospective industry (I suppose
attaches are industrious; but I know not, for I never became attache to Sir
Jacob or anybody else), I cast about for some desirable mode of spending them.
And it occurred to me suddenly that I would visit Ruritania.
And it
occurred to me suddenly that I would visit Ruritania. It may seem strange that I
had never visited that country yet; but my father (in spite of a sneaking
fondness for the Elphbergs, which led him to give me, his second son, the famous
Elphberg name of Rudolf) had always been averse from my going, and, since his
death, my brother, prompted by Rose, had accepted the family tradition which
taught that a wide berth was to be given to that country. But the moment
Ruritania had come into my head I was eaten up with a curiosity to see
it.
After all, red hair and long noses are not confined to the House of
Elphberg, and the old story seemed a preposterously insufficient reason for
debarring myself from acquaintance with a highly interesting and important
kingdom, one which had played no small part in European history, and might do
the like again under the sway of a young and vigorous ruler, such as the new
King was rumoured to be. My determination was clinched by reading in The Times
that Rudolf the Fifth was to be crowned at Strelsau in the course of the next
three weeks, and that great magnificence was to mark the occasion.
