four o'clock
Ouentin stood like a man of stone , stunned by relief and surprise . One glance at the bloody , lacerated face and the rolling eyes caused Savage to flee as if pursued by devils . For hours Quentin and Turk sought to comfort and to quiet him ; the millionaire , who refused to desert them , sat up all night to manage the information bureau , as he called it . He personally inquired at Ugo 's rooms , and always brought back reassuring news , which Quentin doubted and Dickey utterly disbelieved At four o'clock Prince Ugo himself , with Duke Laselli , came to Quentin 's rooms with the word that Kapolski was to be taken to a hospital , and that Dr. Gassbeck pronounced his chance for recovery excellent . The prince assured Mr. Savage that secrecy would be preserved , but advised him to leave Brussels at the earliest possible moment . Kapolski 's death , if it came , would command an investigation , and it would be better if he were where the law could not find him . Quentin with difficulty restrained from openly accusing the prince of duplicity .
