They found many objections to it, and the chief of them was that it was not safe for three children to be encamped by themselves in the heart of a wood.
Miss Lambart grew tired of assuring them that the Twins were more efficient persons than nine Germans out of ten; and at last she said: "Well, Highness, to set your fears quite at rest, I will go and stay at the knoll myself.

Then you can go back to Cassel-Nassau with your mind at ease; and I will undertake that the princess comes to you in better health than if she had stayed on here." "Bud 'ow would she be zafer wiz a young woman, ignorant and--" cried the baroness, furious at this attempt to usurp her authority.
"Goot!" cried the archduke cutting her short; and his face beamed at the thought of escaping forthwith to his home.

"Eet shall be zo! And ze baroness shall go alzo to Cassel-Nassau zo zoon az I zend a lady who do as ze doctors zay." So it was settled; and Miss Lambart was busy for an hour collecting provisions, arranging that fresh provisions should be brought to the path to the knoll every morning and preparing and packing the fewest possible number of garments she would need during her stay.
Then she bade the relieved archduke good-by; and set out in the Rowington car to the knoll.

Not far from the park gates she met Sir Maurice strolling toward the Grange, and took him with her.

At the entrance of the path to the knoll they took the baskets of provisions and Miss Lambart's trunk from the car, and dismissed it.
