Part VII
DELIVERANCE
By the way of answer, The Prince sent her a package containing his uniform and jeweled pin in the shape of a crown. These were accompanied by a note in which he declared he gave her in perpetuity and in sole proprietorship the only things she had cared for in him.
He was onthe point of starting to hunt reindeer in norway when the war of 1870 broke out, He immadiatelly asked leave to join his regiment, and the request, of coursewas at once granted. Patriotism and enthusiasm ad very little to do with his action. He rejoined his regiment in the first place because it was the correct thing to do and in the second becaue he hoped that war might possibly give hims some new sensations, was he agained dissapointed? He was inclined to think so.
