Miss Lambart wasted no breath encouraging him in an expectation based on the efforts of Count Zerbst on the knoll.

She stepped out of the car and strolled up and down on the pleasant turf.

Presently she saw a figure coming down the aisle from the direction of Little Deeping; when it came nearer, with considerable pleasure she recognized Sir Maurice.
When he came to them she presented him to the archduke as the discoverer of his daughter's hiding-place.

The archduke, mindful of the fact that Sir Maurice had given the true story of the disappearance to the world, received him ungraciously.

Miss Lambart at once told Sir Maurice of the errand of Count Zerbst and of her very small expectation that anything would come of it.
