"Of course I'm at your service. Let us go; have you the notes at home?" "No, Herr von Dornburg, I have just taken them to the ladies; but early to-morrow morning " "There will be a rehearsal early to-morrow morning! The jug is for me, Jungfer Dortchen! Your health, Colonel Mulder! Captain Huivenvoorde, I drain this goblet to your new standard and hope to have many a jolly ride by your side."
"Do you know whom I met on the stairs?" "English soldiers." "Of course, but among them Junker von Dornburg." "He called on me. A handsome fellow, whose gayety is very attractive, a German from the evangelical countries." "Leonhard's best friend. Don't you know? Surely I've told you about him. Our guest at Jacoba's wedding." "Oh! yes. Junker Georg.
The talk at a round table in the end of the long room was louder than anywhere else. Six officers had seated themselves at it, among them Georg von Dornburg.
Nicolas showed the captain his treasure, and then exclaimed: "Now forward, Junker von Dornburg, I know where we shall find them; and you, Captain Van Duivenvoorde, tell the burgomaster and Janus Dousa what has become of me." A week had elapsed since Henrica's flight, and with it a series of days of severe privation.
There is some one up-stairs with your cousins, who wouldn't like to be surprised by the Spaniards. Go up. I know from Captain Van Duivenvoorde what a gallant young fellow you are." "From Herr von Warmond?" asked Nicolas eagerly. "Tell me! what brings you here, and who are you?" "One who is fighting for your liberty, a German, Georg von Dornburg." "Oh, wait here, I entreat you.
"Once, only once, I will, I must say to you, that I love you, that life and happiness, peace and honor " "Not one word more, Junker von Dornburg. There is our house. You are our guest, and if you address a single word like the last ones to your friend's wife " "Maria, Maria oh, don't touch the knocker. How can you so unfeelingly destroy the whole happiness of a human being "
The Junker grasped his sword, but soon removed his hand from the hilt, for it was Belotti, who came out and greeted the signorina. Henrica followed him into the house and there talked with him in a low tone, until Georg called her, saying: "Fraulein Van Hoogstraten, may I ask for a word of farewell?" "Farewell, Herr von Dornburg!" she answered distantly, but advanced a step towards him.
"Once, only once, I will, I must say to you, that I love you, that life and happiness, peace and honor " "Not one word more, Junker von Dornburg. There is our house. You are our guest, and if you address a single word like the last ones to your friend's wife " "Maria, Maria oh, don't touch the knocker. How can you so unfeelingly destroy the whole happiness of a human being "
"Yes, Herr von Dornburg, yes. One wouldn't believe how much that delicate woman can accomplish. Day before yesterday, when we went about to learn how large a stock of provisions every house contains, people treated me and the others very rudely, many even turned us out of doors.
No offence, Frau Van der Werft; but the Junker will escort you home as safely as I and you, Herr von Dornburg " "I am at your service," replied Georg, and went out into the street with the young wife. For a time both walked side by side in silence, each fancying he or she could hear the beating of the other's heart.
