Excerpt from Count Zarka: A Romance

The Minister leaned back in his chair thoughtfully stroking his mouth with his long white fingers. Shortly, it is this, he said. The mystery sur rounding the extraordinary disappearance oi Prince Roel of Rapsberg deepens every day. I say deepens, because, as you know, the agents of our Bureau, all the machinery which we have set working to elucidate it, have given us absolutely blank results Had it been a mere piece Of eccentricity on the Prince's part, the result, as has been hinted, of disappointment in a love affair, we must have found him, or at least some clue to the direction in which he had disap peared. A man, let alone a prince, cannot vanish from the face of the earth without leaving some trace.

That is obvious, Excellency, at any rate in a well-watched community.
