"Lucy, I have just received a communication from Prince Wolfburgh. He is in Bozen." "Here!" Lucy started up, glancing around like a chased hare. Then she sat down again and waited. There was no other chapter, and the book was so blank! "His coming is very opportune," she said presently, gently. "Oh! do YOU think so, my dear? Really! Well, I always have liked the young man. So simple.
What harm did I do you ? After all, she did do me some harm; for there might have been a fine row if it had not been for Frau Doktor M., that angel in human form! She writes she is so lonely and so unhappy; she is with her mother at the Gratsch Hydropathic near Meran or Bozen, I forget which, I must look it up if I answer her.
