Chapter 1

Track length4:09
$1.00
$1.30

Yet Sapt was in the right about him.

Track length4:46
$1.00
$1.30

As time went on, the first impulse…

Track length5:57
$1.00
$1.30

I left the queen and went to prepare…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

To lay on the king the full blame…

Track length5:15
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 2: A Station Without a Cab

Track length4:32
$1.00
$1.30

We arrived punctual to our appointed time.

Track length4:44
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, there's no help for it,' said I…

Track length4:51
$1.00
$1.30

On either side my hands were still pinned fast.

Track length3:30
$1.00
$1.30

Then came Rischenheim's voice again…

Track length3:48
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 3: Again to Zenda

Track length4:44
$1.00
$1.30

My battered head ached most consumedly.

Track length4:02
$1.00
$1.30

Rudolf came, calm and serene.

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

'Come, Fritz,' he cried…

Track length3:42
$1.00
$1.30

He was hardly gone…

Track length3:31
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 4: An Eddy on the Moat

Track length3:34
$1.00
$1.30

The king rose with a yawn, and bade the colonel good-night.

Track length5:22
$1.00
$1.30

Sapt ran on. Opening the gate that led to the bridge…

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

Yet there was in truth nothing strange…

Track length4:04
$1.00
$1.30

Nevertheless it was a quarter of an hour…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 5: An Audience of The King

Track length3:17
$1.00
$1.30

At ten minutes to eight o'clock…

Track length3:43
$1.00
$1.30

The count advanced, bowing low…

Track length3:58
$1.00
$1.30

Now Rudolf played his part well.

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

Bernenstein looked in again.

Track length4:41
$1.00
$1.30

Now Sapt was resolved not to leave Rischenheim alone…

Track length3:33
$1.00
$1.30

Inside the room, Rischenheim stood…

Track length3:05
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 6: The Task of The Queen's Servants

Track length3:58
$1.00
$1.30

'I doubt if it would bring me,' grinned old Sapt…

Track length4:22
$1.00
$1.30

A few moments later Bernenstein returned.

Track length3:46
$1.00
$1.30

'Will it last forever?' she asked…

Track length3:52
$1.00
$1.30

Thus she turned away, letting him go.

Track length3:51
$1.00
$1.30

The queen made no sound…

Track length3:50
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 7: The Message of Simon the Huntsman

Track length3:39
$1.00
$1.30

I hardly stayed to form a resolution.

Track length4:36
$1.00
$1.30

'I wish a customer had come in…'

Track length5:14
$1.00
$1.30

Now, after all our stir and runnings to and fro…

Track length4:18
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, Simon, where is the king?' she asked…

Track length3:40
$1.00
$1.30

'Suppose Rupert -' The Constable of Zenda broke in…

Track length3:34
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 8: The Temper of Boris the Hound

Track length5:07
$1.00
$1.30

Suddenly Sapt, turning his head for the first time…

Track length5:03
$1.00
$1.30

I looked where his hand now was.

Track length4:13
$1.00
$1.30

'If the king asks more, tell him I have the packet…'

Track length4:24
$1.00
$1.30

'You damned fool!' roared Rupert…

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 9: The King in the Hunting Lodge

Track length4:17
$1.00
$1.30

An hour or more had passed since our discovery…

Track length4:51
$1.00
$1.30

So the plan was made.

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

The stableman had led the horse away…

Track length3:52
$1.00
$1.30

However, not why the queen went, but that she had gone…

Track length3:41
$1.00
$1.30

But at this moment I saw a man on the platform…

Track length3:24
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 10: The King in Strelsau

Track length3:38
$1.00
$1.30

Reluctantly and ruefully the fat fellow stepped out…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

Both to my wife and to Rudolf himself…

Track length3:36
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Rassendyll asked no better than to meet his enemy…

Track length4:03
$1.00
$1.30

Along they went; soon they came…

Track length4:14
$1.00
$1.30

The half then, at least, of Rosa's attachment…

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 11: What the Chancellor's Wife Saw

Track length3:42
$1.00
$1.30

Now, it was plain that Bauer…

Track length4:21
$1.00
$1.30

As he spoke Rudolf turned to knock at the door…

Track length4:03
$1.00
$1.30

At this moment he heard horses' hoofs behind him.

Track length4:00
$1.00
$1.30

A doubtful, puzzled little smile spread…

Track length3:23
$1.00
$1.30

Flight was impossible.

Track length4:15
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 12: Before Them All!

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

There was nothing that Rudolf more desired…

Track length4:19
$1.00
$1.30

Bernenstein, however, persuaded her to go…

Track length3:32
$1.00
$1.30

A moment of absolute silence followed…

Track length3:14
$1.00
$1.30

But every moment bore its peril…

Track length4:20
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 13: A King Up His Sleeve

Track length4:15
$1.00
$1.30

The old woman shook her head.

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

Rischenheim was staring at him…

Track length3:43
$1.00
$1.30

Then he walked across to the window…

Track length3:48
$1.00
$1.30

Starting from this point, his audacious mind…

Track length4:36
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 14: The News Comes to Strelsau

Track length4:44
$1.00
$1.30

The door of the room opened…

Track length4:30
$1.00
$1.30

'Listen,' said Rudolf.

Track length4:40
$1.00
$1.30

The three were standing round me…

Track length2:59
$1.00
$1.30

Rudolf turned to me.

Track length3:23
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 15: A Pastime For Colonel Sapt

Track length5:23
$1.00
$1.30

'In fact, sir, we were all overcome with fatigue…'

Track length4:21
$1.00
$1.30

Sapt was still smiling in grim amusement…

Track length4:07
$1.00
$1.30

Then and there they set about what they had to do.

Track length4:00
$1.00
$1.30

'Yes, Simon, your brother will be here…'

Track length4:05
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 16: A Crowd in the Konigstrasse

Track length4:21
$1.00
$1.30

I did not know what she intended…

Track length4:53
$1.00
$1.30

As she rose, Rischenheim made a quick impulsive step…

Track length5:20
$1.00
$1.30

Our way did not lie by the house…

Track length4:26
$1.00
$1.30

The fellow whom I saw…

Track length4:13
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 17: Young Rupert and the Play-actor

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

'I've come to see the Count of Hentzau,' Rudolf continued.

Track length3:49
$1.00
$1.30

'Ah, the play-actor!' said he…

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

But he had overshot the mark this time.

Track length4:26
$1.00
$1.30

A sudden flush swept over Rupert of Hentzau's face.

Track length3:55
$1.00
$1.30

Ignorant of the mind and heart of young Rupert…

Track length3:46
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 18: The Triumph of The King

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

The device that he adopted was nicely chosen.

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

I looked again at Rupert.

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

Moved by some impulse, I walked to the window…

Track length3:54
$1.00
$1.30

Bernenstein had more presence of mind than I.

Track length4:21
$1.00
$1.30

Young Bernenstein interrupted his cheering…

Track length4:04
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 19: For Our Love and Her Honour

Track length4:03
$1.00
$1.30

'He'll take the throne,' I cried triumphantly.

Track length4:45
$1.00
$1.30

The minutes seemed very long as we waited…

Track length4:11
$1.00
$1.30

'In an hour I must be gone from here,' began Rudolf.

Track length4:46
$1.00
$1.30

We rushed to the door of the room where he was.

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

He spoke firmly and coldly…

Track length4:31
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 20: The Decision of Heaven

Track length4:07
$1.00
$1.30

Then he faltered; but he had not fallen.

Track length4:54
$1.00
$1.30

'There's a chance for you…'

Track length4:30
$1.00
$1.30

It might be that there was little reason in her words.

Track length4:35
$1.00
$1.30

But now our attention was again diverted.

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

He opened his eyes, and his lips bent in a smile.

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 21: The Coming of the Dream

Track length3:30
$1.00
$1.30

A distant faint hum of voices reached us.

Track length3:55
$1.00
$1.30

Times change for all of us.

Track length2:57
