She and the canoness, Mariana, would rather see a few young ensigns than all the staffs of the oldest Field-marshals! "The Queen often made signs to the Emperor to desist from thus exposing every member of his family, and seemed to feel mortified; but the more Her Majesty endeavoured to check his freedom, and make him silent, the more he enlarged upon the subject.
His gaze was riveted on Consuelo; gradually the shade crept from his forehead to his lips, and covered his face with a snowy veil. "It is the hand of Death!" said the doctor, breaking the silence. Consuelo would take neither her husband's title nor his riches. "Stay with us, my daughter?" cried the canoness, "for you have a lofty soul and a great heart!"
