What do I care for all the worshippers of a very poor idol who call themselves my 'adorers'? I need only detain wandering pilgrims, or invite minnesingers to the castle, to shorten the hours. And he for whom yonder child-angel's heart yearns would he not be a fool to prefer a Will-o'-the-wisp like me? Besides, it is easy for the peasant to give his neighbour the cloud which hangs over his field.
By her face you would suppose her to be as timid as a dove, and yet on this occasion she was the one who proposed the ascent, urged on her companion, and answered all her objections. Of course she could not have really been so plucky as she seemed. For my part, I believe the other one had more real pluck of the two, but it was the child-angel's ignorance that made her so bold.
"'Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, said the child-angel. 'I'm dying to take a peep into the crater. It must be awfully funny. Do come; do, do come, Ethel darling. "'Oh, Minnie, don't, cried the other, in great alarm. And I now learned that the child-angel's name was Minnie. 'Minnie, she cried, clinging to the child-angel, 'you must not go.
Meanwhile the guides, who had thus far stood apart, suddenly caught sight of the child-angel's figure, and, with a loud warning cry, they ran after her. They seemed to me, however, to be a lazy lot, for they scarce got up as far as the place where Ethel was. Now, you know, all this time I was doomed to inaction.
"Oh, the name Ethel is common enough." "Well, and didn't you find out any thing about her people?" "Whose Ethel's?" "Your child-angel's people." "No. What do I care about her people? They might be Jews or Patagonians for all I care." "Still I should think your interest in her would make you ask." "Oh no; my interest refers to herself, not to her relatives.
Her name is Minnie Fay." "Minnie Fay. I never heard of the name before. Who are her people?" "She is traveling with Lady Dalrymple." "The Dowager, I suppose?" "Yes." "Who are the other ladies?" "Well, I don't exactly remember." "Didn't you find out?" "Yes; I heard all their names, but I've forgotten. I know one of them is the child-angel's sister, and the other is her cousin.
