If you stay, I will do as I said about the cook and will " Fritzing paused "I will endeavour to refrain from calling you anything hasty." "Two hundred marks," said Annalise gazing at the ceiling, "is nothing." "Nothing?" cried Fritzing. "You know very well that it is, for you, a great sum." "It is nothing. I require a thousand." "A thousand? What, fifty English sovereigns?
"Ach, I have not been told. I know nothing. I am kept in the dark like like a prisoner." And Annalise dragged her handkerchief out of her pocket, and put it to her eyes just in time to stop her ready tears from falling into the whipped cream and spoiling it. "There she goes again," sniffed Mrs. Pearce. "It's cry, cry, from morning till night, and nothing good enough for her.
"What?" she cried, "What?" "What? What?" mocked Robin. "Well then, what? Are you all such prudes in Germany? Even you pretending, you little hypocrite?" "Oh," cried Annalise hysterically, pushing him away with both her hands, "what have you done? Elender Junge, what have you done?" "I think you must all be mad," said Robin angrily.
"Oh don't oh leave me " moaned Priscilla. She did not go downstairs that day. Every time Annalise tried to come in she sent her away. When she was talked to of food, she felt sick.
"How should I know?" said Priscilla, irritably, alarmed to feel she was turning red; and with great determination she began to talk literature. Fritzing was lying in wait for Annalise, and caught her as she came into the bathroom. "Fräulein," said the miserable man trying to screw his face into persuasiveness, "you cannot let the Princess go without tea." "Yes I can," said Annalise.
Annalise curtseyed and withdrew, and spent the rest of the evening bursting into spasmodic and immediately interrupted song, breaking off after a few bars with a cough of remembrance and apology. When this happened Fritzing and Priscilla looked at each other with grave and meditative eyes; they knew how completely they were in her power.
But Priscilla could not forget all she had made her suffer; and the Prince, who had thought of everything, suddenly producing her head woman from some recess in Baker's Farm, where she too had spent the night, Annalise was superseded, her further bitter fate being to be left behind at Creeper Cottage in the charge of the gentleman with the cheque-book who as it chanced was a faddist in food and would allow nothing more comforting than dried fruits and nuts to darken the doors till he should have leisure to pack her up and send her home.
Priscilla did get breakfast somehow, the girl, after trying vainly to strike sparks of helpfulness out of Annalise, going to the store and ordering what was necessary. Then she washed up, while Annalise tripped in and out for the express purpose, so it seemed, of turning up her nose; then she sat and waited and wondered what next.
To which Annalise, with a stoutness ominous as a revelation of character, replied by repeating her declaration that the umbrella had certainly broken itself. Then it was that he shook his fist at her and called her fool. So greatly was he moved that, after walking away and thinking it over, he went to her a second time and shook his fist at her and called her knave.
The Princess, who could hardly make her eyes open themselves, leaned on Fritzing's arm in a sort of confused dream, got somehow up a little staircase that seemed extraordinarily steep and curly, and was sound asleep in a knobbly bed before Annalise realized she had done with her. Priscilla had forgotten all about the Ideal, all about her eager aspirations.
