Baltasar de Gallégos sold houses and vineyards, and rent corne, and ninetie rankes of Oliue trees in the Xarafe of Siuil: Hee had the office of Alcalde Mayor, and tooke his wife with him: and there went also many other persons of account with the President, and had the officers following by great friendship, because they were officers desired of many: to wit, Antonie de Biedma was Factor, Iohn Danusco was Auditor, and Iohn Gaytan nephew to the Cardinall of Ciguenza had the office of Treasurer.
They accordingly advanced to Leuse; and on the twenty-eight day of April took post at Maulbre, in sight of the French army, which was encamped on an eminence from the village of Antonie, to a large wood beyond Vezon, having Fontenoy in their front.
They sat down at the table and Antonie, taking pleasure in seeing to his comfort, forgot for a moment the foolish ache that tugged at her body and at her soul. The wine made him talkative. He related everything that interested him his professional trips across country, the confinements that sometimes came so close together that he had to spend twenty-four hours in his buggy.
"Fräulein Volkmar, you forget yourself," said the insulted mother drawing herself to her full height. But Marietta wasn't going to be silenced now, she was too excited. "O, no, it is not I who forget myself. It was you who insulted me without cause, and the head forester and Antonie must be well under your influence to turn away from me. But no matter.
Antonie and Marietta were chatting over the approaching arrival of the Court at Fürstenstein, and the former, who possessed little taste in the matter of dress, was asking her friend's advice about some details of the toilette, and Marietta was giving it eagerly. "What are you going to wear with this gown?" asked Marietta. "Roses of course, white or very delicate ones.
When the last guests had gone and all servants, too, had gone to their rest, she called the waitress, with some jesting reproach, into her room. A long whispered conversation followed. At its end the woman declared that the matter was child's play to her. And did not suspect that by this game she was saving her life. In hesitant incredulity Antonie awaited the things that were to come.
And with this declaration and with a decisiveness in which nothing was lacking, Fräulein Antonie von Schönau tossed her head back, and walked out of the room leaving her father and aunt in anything but an enviable state. Herr von Schönau turned to his sister-in-law and said in a subdued but angry tone: "Your son has been going ahead beautifully, Regine.
Do Herr von Schönau and Antonie agree with you in what you have just said?" "As regards the root of the matter, certainly. But I would not have you think for a moment that they would refuse to " a very expressive shrug of the shoulders concluded this sentence.
Fräulein Antonie had great strength in her hands, and her only idea of music was to make all the noise she could; one would have thought a regiment of soldiers was storming a fort. Just now the noise irritated her father, who wanted to hear himself speak. "Toni, Toni, don't break the new piano in two with your thumping," he shouted crossly. "What is it you are playing, anyway?"
Her nut-brown hair was laid in smooth braids around her head, and her attire, although perfectly suitable for a girl of her station, was yet quite simple. But Antonie was in the first bloom of youth, and that charm outweighed all others.
