Bernauer who and what I am when you are outside outside in the courtyard there. You can walk about in the garden if you want to, or else go and get some simple purgative for this dog. That is all he needs; he has been over-fed." Franz was quite bewildered.
"Because I came here for the special purpose of speaking to Mrs. Bernauer," replied Muller calmly. "Then you didn't come on account of the dog?" "No, I didn't come on account of the dog." "Then you you lied to me?" "Partly." "And you're no veterinary?" "No I can help your dog, but I am not a veterinary and never have been." "What are you then?" "I will tell Mrs.
Bernauer beside him, her heart seemed to stand still. She crept back from the window and stood in the middle of the room as Herbert Thorne and his former nurse entered. "What has happened?" This was all she could say as she looked into the distraught face of the housekeeper, into her husband's sad eyes. He led her to a chair, then knelt beside her and told her all.
We went to see the house in which lived the beautiful Agnes Bernauer, daughter of a barber, who married Duke Albert III. of Bavaria.
If the woman had not spied upon and betrayed her mistress, this terrible event, which now weighed upon her own soul, would not have happened. "A faithful servant, indeed," said Muller, with a harsh laugh. Then maturer consideration came and forced him to acknowledge that it was indeed devotion that had swayed Adele Bernauer, devotion to her master more than to her mistress.
Adele Bernauer on the letter which was postmarked "Venice," about thirty-six hours previous this hand had, in an awkward and childish attempt at disguise, written Winkler's address on the envelope which bore the date of September 24th. The writer of the harmless letter to Mrs. Bernauer, a letter which chatted of household topics and touched lightly on the beauties of Venice, was Mrs. Thorne.
Muller knew now that the one-time nurse was in league with her former charge; that Thorne and Adele Bernauer were in each other's confidence; that the man sat waiting for the signal which she was to give him, a signal bringing so much disgrace and sorrow in its train.
"Now there are at least two people who do not believe that Knoll is the murderer. I am one of them, and you, Mrs. Bernauer, you are the other. I am going now and when I come again, as I doubtless will come again, I will come with full right to enter this house.
"Even though it were possible for me to defy my parents, to turn my face against my country, my people, and the sacred traditions of my house, by asking her to share my life, there could be only wretchedness ahead for her, and therefore unhappiness for me. The dove and the eagle may not mate. Consider the fate of sweet Agnes Bernauer, who married Duke Albert and perished in the Danube.
This much Muller saw, then he heard the butler's steps along the hall and he went back to the corner where the dog lay. Franz was not alone. There was some one else with him, the housekeeper, Mrs. Bernauer. Just as they opened the door, Muller heard her say: "If the gentleman is a veterinary, then we'd better ask him about the parrot " The sentence was never finished.
