Rupert of Hentzau QUOTES

1 " It is only likely frauds that are detected. "

― Anthony Hope , Rupert of Hentzau

2 " What more passed between them I do not know. I think that the Queen told my wife more, but women will sometimes keep women’s secrets even from their husbands; though they love us, yet we are always in some sort the common enemy, against whom they join hands. "

― Anthony Hope , Rupert of Hentzau

3 " Helga never will admit that she is clever, yet I find she discovers from me what she wants to know, and I suspect hides successfully the small matters of which she in her wifely discretion deems I had best remain ignorant. Being thus able to manage me, she was equal to coping with the butler. "

― Anthony Hope , Rupert of Hentzau

4 " Rudolf was well-nigh convinced that the man had been on his track: he would make certainty surer. The bold game was always his choice and his delight; this trait he shared with Rupert of Hentzau, and hence arose, I think, the strange secret inclination he had for his unscrupulous opponent. "

― Anthony Hope , Rupert of Hentzau

5 " And the Queen of Ruritania, James?’

‘Do not misunderstand me, sir. They could be secretly married — I should say re-married.’

‘Yes, certainly, re-married.’

‘By a trustworthy priest.’

‘You mean an untrustworthy priest? "

― Anthony Hope , Rupert of Hentzau

6 " Well, I take it that when a man comes to die, love is more to him than a kingdom; it may be, if we could see truly, that it is more to him even while he lives. "

― Anthony Hope , Rupert of Hentzau
