"I don't understand any of it, but the speech sounded awfully telling! Where's papa?" It was Antonia, who had come in unobserved. She wore a felt hat with one little feather on it, driving-gloves, and a dark cloth dress. She stood, rosy with driving, her blonde curls clustering in airy confusion about her forehead, a tailor-gowned Brunhilde. "Why, hello, Antonia!" said Jim.
"Well, judging by your expression, darling, you were miles away, too," said the irrepressible Wallace. "How are you, Brunhilde? Ich liebe dich! Yes'm, we ought to be miles away, but to tell you the honest truth, the season is simply ROTTEN here on the coast. We've bust up, for the moment, but dry those tears. Here's my contract for seven weeks in San Francisco seven plays.
You know 'Die Walküre, don't you? but of course you do. If I believed in the theory of reincarnation, I should feel sure that you were Brünhilde herself, surrounded by the wall of fire!" "I wish I were! I wish every woman had some such infallible way of proving every man who seeks her!" "You have, Opal!
Brunhilde, in the "Nibelungen," binds her offending lover with her girdle and slings him up to the wall. Cymburga, wife of Duke Ernest of Lithuania, could crack nuts between her fingers, and drive nails into a wall with her thumb; whether she ever got her husband under it is not recorded.
Brunhilde, terrified by the angry Wotan, snatched up the broken pieces of the sword, and, springing to her saddle, dashed away. Faster and faster she fled to the forest, bearing the broken blade to Siegmund's wife. "Siegmund is slain!" she cried. "These are the pieces of his mighty sword. Keep them for your son, Siegfried. He will be brave like his father.
Seemed when she did speak, 't she wasn't tryin' to give nothin' she only wanted to know about the minister's ear-muffs, 'n' it appears 't he never took 'em a tall. Seems 't Brunhilde Susan cut teeth on 'em till they was only fit to be used f'r kettle-holders." Susan paused for a second. Mrs. Lathrop chewed and waited. In a minute the narrative flowed on. "When every one else was through, Mrs.
Allen says 't if they have Brunhilde Susan they can just as well fuss with the cow too, so 's far as I c'n see there'll be no church Sunday, 'n' I certainly am grateful, for all the time 't I was in church last Sunday I was wishin' 't I was in the crick instid, 'n' I don't consider such thoughts upliftin'." Mrs. Lathrop slapped at a mosquito.
Sperrit says 't Brunhilde Susan c'n learn if dogs moo out on the farm, 'n' f'r her part she'd rather be responsible f'r any man's baby 'n for one husband's collar-bands. So Brunhilde Susan 's settled, 'n' Mrs. Allen 's awful sorry 't she didn't send the cow along with her too, for she says 't it's harder 'n you'd think to keep a cow content nights in a chicken-house.
But they looked like real fire, and none but a hero would dare go into them. They would frighten away all cowards. Wotan walked around the peak, drawing a line with his spear. From every place the spear touched the fire burst forth, until at length the mound where Brunhilde slept was entirely encircled by lurid flames. Great Wotan looked upon his work.
There were intermarriages between the three Gothic kingdoms, in Burgundy, Gaul, and Spain, and the history of some of these royal families shows what wild passions still raged among the Goths, and what atrocities were strangely mingled with ambitious projects and religion. Athanagild, one of the Visigoth kings, gave his daughter Brunhilde in marriage to the King of the Franks in Gaul.
