Louise had already taken care that a good blazing fire should welcome the travellers in their chamber. In the mean time, the ladies quartered themselves in the library; lights were kindled, the table spread; the Judge helped all, and was highly delighted if people only called to him. The Assessor looked enraptured, as Eva arranged his confections on little plates.
“Yes, Eva,” whispered Eleanore, touched by the situation. “Go to your father, Eva, and shake hands with him.” The child did as it had been told. Then Marian related to her son how Eleanore had brought the child to Eschenbach, and how Meta had married and gone to America with her husband.
I don't think I need take quite such drastic measures as that. What I thought was to set Eva up somewhere, in some new place, where she could start afresh, and then take myself off quietly to California, or New Zealand, or somewhere of the sort, where an able-bodied fellow like me can be sure of picking up a living." "But would Eva let you go?" "Ah, there's the rub!" He spoke in a lighter tone.
True, Eva also felt with keen indignation that far too little honour was paid to her beloved dead; that the blinded people believed the slanderers who repeated even worse things of her Els than of herself, and made their poor mother, who had lived and suffered like a saint, atone for what they imagined were the sins of her daughters; but the jeers and scorn which had obtruded themselves upon her father and sister from more than one quarter, in many a form, had entirely escaped her notice.
"I do feel it," answered Herr Berthold, his face assuming an expression of regret; "and for that very reason I ventured to take a girl over whom I have no authority out of her service." "Katterle?" asked Eva anxiously. Her uncle nodded assent, adding: "First hear what interested me so quickly in the strange fellow.
Say, those birds have been weeping on each other's shoulders ever since." "Do you still breakfast at Feinheimer's?" asked Jimmy. "Once in a while," said the girl, "but not so often now." And she dropped her eyes to the ground in what, in another than Little Eva, might have been construed as embarrassment. "Where you going now?" she asked quickly.
"Duncan Gallosh to be looking for bogles is pretty ridiculous but oh, I can't refuse to disoblige his lordship." "I should think not, when he's done you the honor to invite you out of all his friends!" said Mrs. Gallosh warmly. "Eva! do you hear the compliment that's been paid your papa?" Eva, their fair eldest daughter, came into the room at a run.
'It looks it, said Amy severely. 'It will have to go into the kitchen; I won't eat out of it, declared Vava, pushing it away with pretended scorn. 'People don't eat out of pepper-pots, remarked Eva, shaking some on to her plate. 'It's full! Did you get the pepper and all for a halfpenny? they cried.
And I felt that there might be some consolation to me in going away to England, so that I might escape from the great vexation and eyesore which the empty college would have produced. But I had to bid farewell to my wife and my son, and to Eva and Crasweller. The first task would be the easier, because there would be no necessity for any painful allusion to my own want of success.
His heart belonged solely to Katterle, but towards Eva he obeyed the old trait inherent in his nature, and clung with the same loyalty hitherto evinced for his master to her whom he now regarded as his future mistress. This she must and should be, because already life seemed to him no longer desirable without her voice. Never had he heard one whose pure tones penetrated the heart more deeply.
