"Regarding, particularly, their numbers. Their disposition I already knew. It is morose." The general brightened again; the guard, with a severer sense of his responsibility, accentuated the austerity of his expression an stood a trifle more erect than before. Twirling his gray slouch hat round and round upon his forefinger, the spy took a leisurely survey of his surroundings.
So much was she refreshed the following morning, that the hopes of her son brightened, and with that filial devotion so peculiarly his characteristic, he easily obtained leave of absence from his sovereign, to remain by the couch of his mother for at least that day, instead of accompanying him, as was his wont, in the expeditions of the day. The countess combated this decision, but in vain.
He did not ask whom, but his eyes brightened. "She's worth a good deal of seeing, don't you think?" "Oh, I'm in love with her, but it doesn't follow you ought to be." "Am I?" he smiled.
