When the evening came the place was bonde; people came from every inn and pension round for miles. She spoke beautiful German, she had learnt it from a German governess who had brought her up, and been a second mother to her; and she hadn't a particle of mauvaise honte. Somebody had draped some Austrian and English flags behind her.
When he became old enough to marry, he sent his men to a girl named Gyda, a daughter of King Erik of Hordaland, who was brought up a foster-child in the house of a rich Bonde in Valders. Harald had heard of her as a very beautiful though proud girl.
"Sir Philip seemed well to know the way, and it was not so very dark!" Lorimer glanced at her and read plainly all that was written in her happy face. His heart sank a little; but, noticing that the old bonde was studying his daughter with a slight air of vexation and surprise, he loyally determined to divert the general attention from her bright blushes and too brilliantly sparkling eyes.
My mother was an Austrian and a Catholic, and I have a notion that, as a small child, I was brought up in that creed; but I'm afraid I don't know much about it now." The bonde nodded gravely. "Thelma, here," he said, "is a Catholic, as her mother was " he stopped abruptly, and a deep shadow of pain darkened his features.
The young men, struck by his action and gratified by his change of manner and the genial expression that now softened his rugged features, were quick to respond to his friendly greeting, and the bonde, picking up and re-sheathing his hunting-knife as if he had done nothing at all out of the common, motioned them towards the very window on which their eyes had been so long and so ardently fixed.
The capricious wind had suddenly arisen, and a moaning whisper coming from the adjacent hills gave warning of another storm. Valdemar hurriedly retraced his steps back to the house, his work with the Valkyrie had occupied him more than an hour the bonde, his friend and master, might have died during his absence!
And I, who had known love, made friends with hate " She checked herself, and looked full at the bonde with a fiendish joy sparkling in her eyes. "She whom you wedded she whom you loved so well, how soon she died!"
And vpon receipt of the sayde bonde to giue them out their cockets or other warrants to lade out and receiue in the same their goods by vertue hereof without any disturbance.
Thine own creed teaches thee that the gentle Mother of Christ, with her little white angels round her, watches over all innocent maids, and thinkest thou she will let an old woman's malice and envy blight thy young days? No, no! Thou accursed?" And the bonde laughed loudly to hide the tears that moistened his keen eyes.
"So you count upon that already, do you? Ah! . . . but do you know which of us shall die first!" Then raising her voice with an effort she exclaimed "Stand forth, Thelma Gueldmar! Let me see you closely face to face!" Errington said something in a low tone, and the bonde would have again interfered, but Thelma shook her head, smiled and rose from her seat at table.
