He behaved in the same manner on the day following, and until I saw Lawrence for the last time on the morning of the 31st October. I gave him the book for Barbi, and told the monk to come at noon to break through the ceiling. I feared nothing, as Lawrence had told me that the Inquisitors and the secretary had already set out for the country.
Christian found her things packed, and the two servants waiting. In a few minutes they were driving to the station. She made Dominique take the seat opposite. "Well?" she asked him. Dominique's eyebrows twitched, he smiled deprecatingly. "M'mselle, Mr. Treffry told me to hold my tongue." "But you can tell me, Dominique; Barbi can't understand."
Every one went about with smiles lurking in their eyes, and ready to break forth at a word. In the kitchen Barbi burst out crying, and, forgetting to toss the pan, spoiled a Kaiser-Schmarn she was making. Dominique was observed draining a glass of Chianti, and solemnly casting forth the last drops in libation.
When I have finished this letter I am going to write and tell him that perhaps he shall see me soon, and then I think he will be very sad. Now that the Spring is come there are more flowers to take to Uncle Nic's grave, and every day, when I am gone, Barbi is to take them so that he shall not miss you, Chris, because all the flowers I put there are for you.
She looked up and saw Barbi standing before her with towels in her hands, and a scared face. "Are you going a journey, gnadiges Fraulein?" "I am going away to be married, Barbi," said Christian at last; "don't speak of it to any one, please." Barbi leant a little forward with the towels clasped to the blue cotton bosom of her dress. "No, no! I will not speak.
It is for you good for the colour in your cheeks; now they will bloom again!" and Barbi stroked her own well-coloured cheeks. Dominique, sunning himself outside with a cloth across his arm, bowed as she passed, and smiled affectionately: "He is better this morning, M'mselle. We march we are getting on. Good news will put the heart into you." Christian thought: 'How sweet every one is to-day!
But, dear Fraulein, that is a big matter; have you well thought?" "Thought, Barbi? Have I not!" "But, dear Fraulein, will you be rich?" "No! I shall be as poor as you." "Ach! dear God! that is terrible. Katrina, my sister, she is married; she tells me all her life; she tells me it is very hard, and but for the money in her stocking it would be harder. Dear Fraulein, think again! And is he good?
