Fran Martha had invited her more than once to come soon, and meanwhile her two young cousins had grown up. Two arms of the Isar lay before her, and between them the island of Zweibrucken. Before the coach rolled across the first, Barbara gathered her luggage together and told the postboy where he was to drive.

But she did not like Lady Selina, and never took any pains to conceal it a fact which did not in the smallest degree interfere with the younger lady's performance of her family duties.
