You would need friends." Wogan took a slip of paper from his pocket and gave it to the Prince.
"On that slip," said he, "I wrote down the names of all the friends whom I could trust, and by the side of the names the places where I could lay my hands upon them.

One after the other I erased the names until only three remained." The Prince nodded and read out the names.
"Gaydon, Misset, O'Toole.

They are good men ?" "The flower of Ireland.

Those three names have been my comfort these last three weeks." "And all the three at Schlestadt.

How comes that about ?" "Your Highness, they are all three officers in Dillon's Irish regiment, and so have that further advantage." "Advantage ?" "Your Highness," said Wogan, "Schlestadt is near to Strasbourg, which again is not far from Innspruck, and being in French territory would be the most convenient place to set off from." There was a sound of a door shutting; the Prince started, looked at Wogan, and laughed.
