What shall I do now?" he muttered, thoroughly dismayed. What indeed should he do? Which way should he move? How long had he been in Dreiberg? Ah, that would be rich! What a joke! It would afford him a smile in his old age. Carmichael, Carmichael!
"That is possible, Gretchen." It was nine o'clock in the morning. The Adlergasse was at this time deserted. "Will you stand aside?" "You have been haunting my dreams, Gretchen." "That would be a pity. But I wish to pass." "Presently. Do you know that you are the most beautiful being in all Dreiberg?" "I am in a hurry," said Gretchen. "There is plenty of time." "Not to listen to foolish speeches."
Dreiberg seemed good enough for me," with a shy glance at Gretchen. "Why did you jump out of the window?" "I was frightened at first, Herr. I did not know that you merely dispersed meetings. I believed that we were all to be arrested. Such measures are in force in Munich."
But my father does not know that she is in Dreiberg; and we dare not tell him, for he still believes that she had something to do with my abduction." Then she stopped. She was strangely making this peasant her confidante. What a whim! "Highness, that could not be." "No, Gretchen; she had nothing to do with it."
It is only the coward who denies fear. He would certainly ask for his recall or transfer. He was eating his heart out here in Dreiberg. They began the incline. She did most of the talking, brightly and gaily; but his ears were dull, for the undercurrent passed by him. He was, for the first time, impressed with the fact that the young ladies of the court never accompanied her on her morning rides.
His excellency is always interested in German-Americans. It may be that he wishes to ask what the future is there in America. We have more in Dreiberg than we can reasonably take care of." "In the prisons?" The officer laughed. "There and elsewhere." "Is that right?" asked Grumbach, now thoroughly on guard.
The road to Eissen began about six miles north of the base of the Dreiberg mountain. It swerved to the east. As Carmichael reached the fork his horse began to limp. He jumped down and removed the stone. It was then that he heard the far-off mutter of hoofs. Coming along the road from Eissen were a trio of riders. Carmichael laughed weakly. "I swear to Heaven that this is no fault of mine!"
"No; one does not have to go out in order not to sleep." "I'd like to know what's going on in that bullet-head of yours." "Nothing is going on; everything has stopped." "Can't you make a confidant of me, Hans?" "Not yet, Captain." "When you are ready it may be too late. I leave Dreiberg for good in a few weeks." "No!" For the first time Grumbach showed interest. "I have resigned the consulship."
Immediately the sub-chief did not know what to say. This was out of the ordinary, conspicuously so. There was little precedent by which to act in a case like this. So in order to appear that nothing could destroy his official poise, he let the two stand before his desk while he sorted some papers. "You are not a native of Dreiberg," he began. "No, Herr; I am from Bavaria.
"Grumbach is as good as another. Listen. You are my comrade now; we have shed our blood on the same field. There is no tie stronger than that. When I left Dreiberg there was a reward of a thousand crowns for me. Dead or alive, preferably dead." Carmichael was plainly bewildered. He tried to recall the past history of Ehrenstein which would offer a niche for this inoffensive-looking German.
