Meantime, his efforts had again and again been demanded to restore order in that abode of anarchy, the city of Ghent. After his visit during the previous winter, and the consequent departure of John Casimir to the palatinate, the pacific arrangements made by the Prince had for a short time held good.
After the talk his mother had had with Perrine, Casimir, by his looks and manner, gave her every opportunity to confide in him. But she had no intention of telling him about the researches that his uncle was having made both in India and in England. True, they had no positive news of the exile; it was all vague and contradictory, but the blind man still hoped on.
Other measures necessary to be taken in view of the Spanish war were also discussed. The ex-elector of Cologne, "a man of great account in Germany," was to be assisted with money to make head against his rival supported by the troops of Philip. Duke Casimir of the Palatinate was to be solicited to make a diversion in Gelderland.
One of nature's mistakes man's mental organization, woman's soft, flooding emotions, and beauty's fiery passions." "I must pump Casimir. He will be safely nailed to the platform by his duties, from eight to ten. I will not leave her a moment, however, till he has the baton in his hand.
"You let her go; and and you a Dalberg and a soldier! You don't deserve her she ought to go to Lotzen to Casimir to any one but you. Why, you drivelling idiot, do you realize that, but for the chance of my having lugged yes, that's the word, lugged you here you would now be doing childish problems in cement and stone in some miserable little Army department headquarters over in America?"
Summoning, therefore, to his presence his trusty follower, Antony Van Corlear, he commanded him to hold himself in readiness to accompany him the following morning on this his hazardous enterprise. This last was ascribed to his living a jolly life on those domains at the Hook, which Peter Stuyvesant had granted to him for his gallantry at Fort Casimir.
He foresaw what was coming, and prepared his mind for a vigorous defence. 'Did you ever steal yourself? asked Casimir, turning suddenly on Jean- Marie, and for the first time employing a single eyeglass which hung round his neck. 'Yes, sir, replied the boy, with a deep blush. Casimir turned to the others with pursed lips, and nodded to them meaningly. 'Hey? said he; 'how is that?
She'd appreciate your escort, I'll wager. We creep a step nearer the city this morning, and as Division Adjutant I'll have my hands full. "Here, Casimir," he called to the equerry who was lazily swinging his feet over the edge of the porch on which he had seated himself, "lend Major Carter your mount for this morning, can't you?" "Gladly.
I sat down beside her, and related at once all that had happened to me that afternoon. Zara listened with deep and almost breathless interest. "You are quite resolved," she said, when I had concluded, "to let Casimir exert his force upon you?" "I am quite resolved," I answered. "And you have no fear?" "None that I am just now conscious of."
This regrettable event caused a vacancy in the stadholderates of Friesland and Groningen with Drente. A number of zealous adherents of the House of Orange were now anxious that Frederick Henry should fill the vacant posts to the exclusion of his cousin, William Frederick, younger brother of Henry Casimir.
