Sayfa 97 / 134

Scarcely had the last words been uttered when a movement of the

hands and limbs announced to Rathunor the return of life. She was

soon able to rise and, being supported by the Prince, they slowly

wended their way back to the castle. She walked as in a dream,

but as her step was stately and firm, the Prince did not become

alarmed until he had her safe in her room, when the extent of the

occurrence dawned upon him and then he hurriedly called her maid

and sent at once to dispatch a servant for their physician.

Nu-nah had become quite herself before the Doctor came and after

he had administered a little palliative, withdrew saying, "The

Princess will soon be well. It was only the result of fatigue

induced by the constant excitement of social pleasures."
