66 The Queen's PleasureTsargradev's lips puckered in an effort to suppress a little goodhumoureddeprecatory laugh. " But, your Majesty," he protested,in the tone of one reasoning with a wayward school-girl, "youmust surely know that you have no power to dismiss a constitutionalMinister."" I must decline to hold any discussion with you. I mustinsist upon the immediate surrender of your seals of office."" I must remind your Majesty that I am the representative ofthe majority of the Soviete."cc I forbid you to answer me. I forbid you to speak in mypresence. You are not here to speak. You are here to restorethe seals of your office to your Sovereign.""That, your Majesty, I must, with all respect, decline todo."" You refuse ? " the Queen demanded, with terrific shortness." I cannot admit your Majesty's right to demand such a thingof me. It is unconstitutional."" In other words, you refuse to obey my commands ? ColonelKarkov ! " she called.Her eyes were burning magnificently now ; her hands trembleda little.Colonel Karkov, the Marshal of the Palace, stepped forward." Arrest that man," said the Queen, pointing to Tsargradev.Colonel Karkov looked doubtful, hesitant." Do you also mean to disobey me ? " the Queen cried, with aglance .... oh, a glance !Colonel Karkov turned pale, but he hesitated no longer. Hebowed to Tsargradev.

Colonel Karkov managed to lead Tsargradevfrom the presence-chamber.And that ended the first act of our comical, precarious littlemelodrama.After Tsargradev's departure there was a sudden buzz of Conversationamong the courtiers. The Queen sank back, in evidentexhaustion, upon the red velvet cushions of the throne. She closedher eyes and breathed deeply, holding one of her hands pressedhard against her heart.By-and-bye she looked up. She was very pale." Now let General Michailov and Prince Vasiliev be introduced,"she said.And when they stood before her, " General Michailov," shebegan, " I desire you to place the town of Vescova under martiallaw. You will station troops about the Palace, about the Chamberof the Soviete, about the Mint and Government offices, and in allopen squares and other places where crowds would be likely tocollect. I have just dismissed M. Tsargradev from office, andthere may be some disturbance. You will rigorously suppress everysign of disorder. I shall hold you responsible for the peace of thetown and the protection of my person."General Michailov, a short, stout, purple-faced old soldier,blinked and coughed, and was presumably on the point of offeringsomething in the nature of an objection." You have heard my wishes," said the Queen. " I shall beglad if you will see to their immediate execution."The General still seemed to have something on his mind.The
