He hoped so.
Two days later John was in Munich, and he learned that Auersperg had not increased his lead.

It was easy enough to trace him.

He had secured an extensive suite of apartments at the large hotel, the Bayerischer Hof, although Julie and the Picards had been secluded in another part of the hotel.

Auersperg had gone to the palace and had held a long conference with the old King of Bavaria, but on the second day he had left, still going eastward, escorted by hussars.
John departed again and on foot.

The weather was balmier now, with touches of spring in it.
