The keen morning air had made him hungry , and he breakfasted like a man who does not know where his next meal is coming from . It was not until he paid his check and got up from the table that he noticed his gigantic companion of the train doing likewise , but he gave the matter no thought , and getting into a waiting _ fiacre _ drove to the British Consulate to make some necessary arrangements , including the procuring of money for possible large expenses . The Archduke and Duchess , he discovered , had slept in their car , which had been shifted to a train that had left for the south in the early hours of the morning . The service on the road was none too good , except that of the Orient Express , which had gone through last night , but by haste Renwick managed to catch the nine o'clock train for Belgrade , planning to get off it at Ujvidek and trust to Providence for an automobile . He was no sooner comfortably seated in his compartment and congratulating himself upon its emptiness , which would permit of opportunity for sleep , when the door was thrown open and his tall companion of the early morning solemnly entered . Renwick did not know whether to be surprised or angry , and finished by being both , glancing at the intruder through his monocle in a manner distinctly offensive . But the tall man if aware of the Englishman 's antagonism gave no sign of it , clasping his cotton umbrella with large bony hands and gazing gloomily at the passing landscape .
