Ten years ago I left Russia, for I was sick of the foolishness of my class and wanted a free life in a new world.

I went to Australia and made good as an engineer.

I am a partner in a firm which is pretty well known even in Britain.

When war broke out I returned to fight for my people, and when Russia fell out of the war, I joined the Australians in France and fought with them till the Armistice.

And now I have only one duty left, to save the Princess and take her with me to my new home till Russia is a nation once more." Dickson whistled joyfully.
