"What he told me two days ago made a break between us, but what I have since heard has parted us forever." "You judge a seventeen year old boy he could not have been much older very severely." There was deep reproof in Adelheid's voice as she spoke, but the prince shook his head passionately.
May I not read this to you, and let his own words be his justification?" "If you desire." The words were spoken indifferently, but Adelheid's eyes sought the paper with an expression of keen interest. A few verses, written in a careless, hasty hand, covered the white page. Egon began to read.
Eugen was startled when he heard his sister's name, and bent over the dying man, who looked into the countenance which so resembled Adelheid's, and again a smile lighted his face. Then he raised his head and laid it heavily on the breast of his old ghost of the woods, and the sunny blue eyes closed forever. It was a short, painless battle with death, a peaceful falling to sleep.
He only defended himself, but in so doing severely wounded one of the police, and he was arrested with the others." The Colonel had listened in silence to Adelheid's agitated recital, but he showed neither interest nor emotion as he said severely: "And poor Stahlberg had to live to see his son, whom he imagined a model, come to this!" "He never knew it.
He exults over the possession of a treasure whom he knows not how to prize, and to whose happiness and peace he gives not a thought." Adelheid's lips trembled. She knew only too well that all he said was true. She did not answer. "And what binds you to this man?" continued Rojanow, coming closer.
I remained dumb and motionless, as though affected by catalepsy. All I remember is that I finally took a glass of liqueur out of Adelheid's hand in a mechanical way and drank it off, and then I recollect being alone in a window, and after that I rushed out of the hall, down the stairs, and ran out into the wood.
Adelheid's cheek resumed its paleness, and she quietly accompanied her father, as he slowly proceeded towards the bark. A scene of this nature did not fail to shake the pertinacity of those who stood at watch near the gate. Of course they had nothing to say to any of the rank of Melchior de Willading, who went into the bark without a question.
"Girls of Adelheid's birth and breeding are ever ready to do what is meet to maintain the honor of their families. I deem gratitude to be a debt that must not stand long uncancelled against the name of Willading." The Genoese looked grave, and it was evident he listened to his friend with something like displeasure.
Adelheid's face was pale, but her voice was as steady and cool as ever, as she answered: "No, nothing is enviable but death for a high and holy duty. One can forgive sin, but can never admire it." Hartmut bit his lips and gave the slender, white robed figure who stood near him a threatening glance.
