This
drew
no
sign
of
merriment
from
Frank,
and
Tommy
scrutinized
him
once
more
in
consternation.
"And
you,"
he
said,
"what
is
wrong
with
you?"
"Don't
worry
about
me,"
replied
Frank
impatiently.
Then,
irrelevantly,
he
said
"Leland's
dead."
"Should
be.
I
knew
we
shouldn't
have
started
out
to
help
him.
But,
Frank,
I'm
concerned
about
you.
You
look
badly."
Tommy
was
getting
into
his
clothes
as
he
spoke.
"Forget
it,
Tommy.
You've
been
sleeping
for
two
days,
you
know--part
of
the
cure--and
I
haven't
had
much
rest
during
that
time.
That
is
all."
"It's
that
Phaestra
woman,"
Tommy
accused
him.
"Well,
perhaps.
But
I'll
get
over
it,
I
suppose.
Tommy,
I
love
her.
But
there's
no
chance
for
me.
Haven't
seen
her
since
the
row
in
the
palace.
Her
council
surrounds
her
continually
and
I
have
been
advised
to-day
that
we
are
to
be
returned
as
quickly
as
you
are
up
and
around.
That
means
immediately
now."
"Good.
The
sooner
the
better.
And
you
just
forget
about
this
queen
as
soon
as
you
are
able.
She's
a
peach,
of
course,
but
not
for
you.
There's
lots
more
back
in
little
old
New
York."
But
Frank
had
no
reply
to
this
sally.
There
came
a
knock
at
the
door
and
Tommy
called,
"Come
in."
"I
see
you
have
fully
recovered,"
said
the
smiling
Theronian
who
entered
at
the
bidding,
"and
we
are
overjoyed
to
know
this.
You
have
the
gratitude
of
the
entire
realm
for
your
part
in
the
saving
of
our
empress
from
the
bullets
of
the
madman."
