They were at St Moritz-as usual.He and M. Gantier had been for a tramp through the Val Suvretta, and, coming home late, wererushing into their evening clothes to join Mr. and Mrs. Belknap at dinner (as they did now regularly, Troy having reached the virile age of fifteen, and having to justify the possession of a smoking-jacketand patent-leather shoes). He was just out of his bath, and smothered in towels, when the tutoropened the door and thrust in a newspaper."There will be war-I must leave to-morrow."Troy dropped the towels.War! War! War against his beautiful France!

Gantier (the air was full of the"Marseillaise" and Sambre-et-Meuse, and everybody knew the Russians would be in Berlin in sixweeks); but once his tutor was gone the mystery and horror again closed in on him.
