fierce cries, and hoarse commands came to them from the hot, crowded
street below, but they did not heed them--they were far away from that

chance to save their Majesties is gone. Will you leave this troubled,
fated land and come with me to that other one, where I will make you
forget the horrors, the sufferings you have endured in this--where I
swear I will make you happy? Will you go to this America of mine?" he

and true as their own.
"I will go," she said.
