They all, and particularly Roberta, had begun to feel a little hurt as the days went by and Mary indulged in many mysterious absences and made unconvincing excuses for refusing invitations that, as Katherine Kittredge said, were enough to turn the head of a crown-princess.
But Bumpo was no end pleased with her and finally married her amid great rejoicings. The feastings lasted seven days. She became his chief wife and is now known out there as the Crown-Princess BumPAH you accent the last syllable." "And tell me, did he remain white?" "Only for about three months," said the parrot. "After that his face slowly returned to its natural color. It was just as well.
Anon he paused in the very act of greeting, as the old man turned his strong, deeply-furrowed countenance upon him with a look of fierce indignation and scorn. "So! You are here!" he said; "Have you come to look upon the evil your Royal master has worked? Or to make dutiful obeisance to Gloria as Crown-Princess?" Von Glauben was altogether taken aback. "Then you know ?" he stammered.
To think of my being here with you, and your being as good as a mother to me, and Uncle Henry as good as a father; and this dear old house; and to see myself fairly loaded down with jewels like a crown-princess. I never knew I liked such things so much. I am fairly ashamed." Rose kissed Sylvia with such vehemence that the elder woman started back, then she turned again to her mirror.
Hitherto it has been intermittent only: hitherto the Crown-Princess has resided in their Berlin Mansion, or in her own Country-house at Schonhausen; Husband not habitually with her, except when on leave of absence from Ruppin, in Carnival time or for shorter periods. At Ruppin his life has been rather that of a bachelor, or husband abroad on business; up to this time.
It was a bold travesty of one of the latest romances that Boyne had read, involving the experience of an American very little older than Boyne himself, to whom a wilful young crown-princess, in a little state which Trannel would not name even to Boyne, had made advances such as he could not refuse to meet without cruelty.
Bielfeld's account, we must candidly say, appears to be an afterthought; but readers can make their profit of it, all the same. As to the Crown-Prince and Princess, words fail to express their gracious perfections, their affabilities, polite ingenuities: Bielfeld's words do give us some pleasant shadowy conceivability of the Crown-Princess:
The coffin was adorned with garlands of laurel and cypress and palm branches, sent by the Crown-Princess from Herrnhausen; and the service was conducted in that same garrison-church in which, nearly a century before, she had been christened, and afterwards confirmed.
Thus we love each other because we belong to each other, Victoria; you call me the prince of darkness, and you are assuredly the crown-princess of hell. After my death you will occupy my throne." "Then it is in hell just as in Austria?" asked Victoria. "The women are not excluded from the throne."
Speaks little; but always to the purpose, in a simple, cheerful and wise way. Of the Crown-Princess there is some pleasant shadow traced as on cobweb, to this effect. But of the Crown-Prince there is no forming the least conception from what he says: this is mere cobweb with Nothing elaborately painted on it. Nor do the portraits of the others attract by their verisimilitude.
