He ought to paint the Princess Ziska." "Ah, by-the-bye, I wanted to ask you about that lady. Does anyone know who she is? My wife is very anxious to find out whether she is well er quite the proper person, you know! When one has young girls, one cannot be too careful." Ross Courtney, the man on the divan, got up slowly and stretched his long athletic limbs with a lazy enjoyment in the action.

But now that so many people know it that they talk about it so much I cannot go to him now." "But you are not ashamed of being engaged to him because he is a Jew?" "No," said Nina, raising herself to her full height; "I am not ashamed of him. I am proud of him. To my thinking there is no man like him. Compare him and Ziska, and Ziska becomes hardly a man at all.

We bear those things, and think that such of you Christians as use that liberty of a vulgar tongue, which is still possible towards a Jew in Prague, are simply poor in heart and ignorant." "They are poor in heart and ignorant." "I first went to your uncle's office in the Ross Markt, where I saw him and your aunt and Ziska. And afterwards Ziska came to me, at our own house.

Meanwhile, come for a stroll and talk to me; Monsieur Armand Gervase will perhaps go in and excuse us for a few minutes to the Princess Ziska." "With pleasure!" said Gervase; then, beckoning Denzil Murray aside, he whispered: "Tell me, have you won or lost?" "Lost!" replied Denzil, fiercely, through his set teeth. "It is your turn now!

In this frame of mind he went to the Ross Markt, and there he was assured over and over again by Ziska Zamenoy for Karil Zamenoy was not to be seen that Nina Balatka had the deed in her own keeping. The name of Nina Balatka was becoming very grievous to the old man.

"Where are they?" said she, repeating his question. "Yes; where are they?" "Why do you ask me? And why do you look like that?" "I want you to tell me where they are, to the best of your knowledge." "Uncle Karil has them or else Ziska." "You are sure of that?" "How can I be sure? I am not sure at all. But Ziska said something which made me feel sure of it, as I told you before.

"You have made this accusation against her. Is the accusation true?" "I think she has it," said Ziska. "Indeed I feel sure of it." "In her own hands?" "Oh yes; in her own hands. Of course it must be in her own hands." "Christian gentleman," said Anton, rising again from his seat, and now standing opposite to Ziska, "I disbelieve you. I think that you are lying to me.

This tyranny so incensed the nobles and citizens that they rose in self-defence, and Ziska, finding that Prague had grown too hot to hold him, deemed it prudent to lead his men away. Sigismund took immediate advantage of the opportunity by marching on Prague. But, quick as he was, there were others quicker.

They are his, and you would not wish to keep things which belong to another, even though he should be a Jew." Then it occurred to Ziska that Trendellsohn might be willing to give up Nina if he got the papers, and that Nina might be willing to be free from the Jew by the same arrangement. It could not be that such a girl as Nina Balatka should prefer the love of a Jew to the love of a Christian.

And certainly her charms are quite enough to engross her whole attention. By the way, let me ask you, Denzil, in this headstrong passion of yours, for it is a headstrong passion, just as mine is, do you actually intend to make the Ziska your wife if she will have you?" "Of course," replied Murray, with some haughtiness. A fleeting expression of amusement flitted over Gervase's features.
