The Prussian guards were sent to Dresden to quell the rioting there and took the city after two days' fighting. The parliament itself was dispersed and moved to Stuttgart, but there again they were dispersed, and the end was a flight of the liberals to Switzerland, France, and the United States. We in America profited by the coming of such valuable citizens as Carl Schurz and many others.
Worn down by her constant assiduity in nursing him, and overcome by the sense of utter desolation, she sunk into her grave, and was buried on the very day that Carl, with the other recruits, was marched off. What new torture the betrothed Katrine felt is not to be told.
The next instant the Trutz-Drachen men were thundering at the door, but Schwartz Carl was already far up the winding steps. But now the others came pouring out from the gateway. "To the house," roared Baron Henry. Then suddenly a clashing, clanging uproar crashed out upon the night. Dong! Dong! It was the great alarm bell from Melchior's tower Schwartz Carl was at his post.
See, now! when I find things go bright with me, and haf a hope of much work, I take the little store I saved, I send it to my friend Carl Hoffman, who is coming from my home, and say, 'Bring Ulla to me now, for I can make life go well to her, and I am hungry till I haf her in my arms again. I tell no one, for I am bold to think that one day I come here with her in my hand, to let her thank you in her so sweet way for all you haf done for me.
Jennings?" asked Leach, with a backward glance at Carl. Like most country folks, he was curious about people. Those who live in cities meet too many of their kind to feel an interest in strangers. "No; a young friend," answered Jennings, briefly. "Goin' to visit you?" "Yes, I think he will stay with me for a time."
Neither man seemed aware of it. Philip, his face white, had risen. Now he stood, tall, rigid, towering above the man upon the ground, who lay motionless save for the shuddering gusts of self-revulsion which swept his tortured body. It was Philip at last who spoke. Bending he touched the other's shoulder. "Come," he said. "Diane must not know." "No," said Carl dully. "No she must not know.
"You never see her but she's laughing, and somehow it always makes you want to laugh too. She can't even keep a straight face in church. Una is ten she's a sweet little thing not pretty, but sweet. And Thomas Carlyle is nine. They call him Carl, and he has a regular mania for collecting toads and bugs and frogs and bringing them into the house."
Does it seem to you like coming back to your own place? Do you feel at peace with the world here? I think we shall be very happy. I haven't any fears. I think when friends marry, they are safe. We don't suffer like those young ones." Alexandra ended with a sigh. They had reached the gate. Before Carl opened it, he drew Alexandra to him and kissed her softly, on her lips and on her eyes.
Johnny had gone away seeming satisfied that his own figures were wrong, but later on he had quarreled with Carl over wages and other things. Carl had a bad temper that sometimes got beyond his control, and he had ordered Johnny off the ranch. This was part of the long, full-detailed story Jim had been telling.
"So you hit the mark?" said the little man, significantly. Somehow, there was something in the little man's tone that put new courage into Carl, and incited him to fresh effort. "I wonder, sir," he said, after a pause, "that you should be walking, when you can well afford to ride." The little man smiled. "It is by advice of my physician," he said.
