Miss Lambart with infinite pleasure explained that for her too an expensive path must be hewn, and went on to declare that if they reached the knoll, there was not the slightest chance of their finding the princess in its caves.
The archduke frowned and grunted fiercely in his perplexity.

Then he struck the table and cried: "Count Zerbst shall do eet! To-morrow morning! You shall 'eem lead to ze wood.

'E shall breeng 'er." Miss Lambart protested that to wander in the Deeping woods with a German count would hardly be proper.
"Brobare?
What ees 'brobare' ?" said the archduke.
"_Convenable_," said Miss Lambart.
The archduke protested that such considerations must not be allowed to militate against his being set free to return to Cassel-Nassau at the earliest possible moment.

Miss Lambart said that they must.

In the end it was decided that a motor-car should be procured from Rowington and that Miss Lambart should guide the archduke and the count to the entrance of the path to the knoll, the count should convey to the princess her father's command to return to the Grange, and if she should refuse to obey, he should haul her by force to the car.
Miss Lambart made no secret of her strong conviction that he would never set eyes, much less hands, on the princess.
