The Princess was exceedingly bright and gay, and she chatted with her old friends the Ambassadors from Austria and America.
"I'm _so_ sorry," she said to the Ambassador from America, "that I did not have time to speak with you at the Duchess of Chiselhurst's ball, but I was compelled to leave early. You should have come to me sooner. The Count here was much more gallant. We had a most delightful conversation, hadn't we, Count? I was with Lord Donal, you remember."
"Oh, yes," replied the aged Austrian, bowing low; "I shall not soon forget the charming conversation I had with your Highness, and I hope you, on your part, have not forgotten the cordial invitation you gave me to visit again your castle at Meran."
"Indeed, Count, you know very well how glad I am to see you at any time, either in Vienna or at Meran."
The American Ambassador remained silent, and glanced alternately from the bride to the Princess with a puzzled expression on his face.
The mystery of the Duchess of Chiselhurst's Ball proved too much for him, as the search for the missing lady had proved too much for Mr. Cadbury Taylor.
