The Great Prince Shan

CHAPTER XXXII
9/27

I can spell out for you the secrets of a new art and a new beauty.

We can walk in fairy gardens.

I can give you jewels such as Europe has never seen, but I can give you, Maggie, nothing so strange and wonderful, even to me who know myself, as the love which fills my heart." Her laugh was like music.
"I am going to be so happy," she murmured.
The other two approached and they all shook hands.

They looked over the amazing little rooms, watched the luggage stowed away in some marvellous manner, saw the crew, every one at his station like a motionless figure.
Then a whistle was blown, and once more they all clasped hands.
"Very soon," Prince Shan promised, as he and Maggie leaned from the window of the car, "I shall send the _Black Dragon_ for you, Lord Dorminster, and for the one other whom I think you may wish to bring.
Asia is not so far off, these days, and Maggie will love to see her friends." Almost imperceptibly the giant airship floated away.
"Watch, both of you," Maggie cried.

"I am sending you down a farewell present." She whispered to Prince Shan, who handed her something from his pocket, smiled, and gave an order.
