I loved you boundlessly, and I would not fill your young, pure soul with sadness. But you dared look upon my rapture; you, my most faithful, best-beloved friend, shall share my joy." "Tell me, then, at once, what makes you happy?" said Lupinus, with trembling lips, and with the pallor of death from excitement and apprehension. "And you ask, my innocent and modest child," said Eckhof, laughing.
"You are Eckhof!" said Lupinus, turning deadly pale, and, stepping back a few paces, he stared with distended eyes at the actor, whose noble and intellectual face, glowing with youthful fire, was turned toward him.
Ah, how little do they know me! how slight a knowledge of the human heart have these learned professors! Eckhof in danger, and I remain silent? Eckhof threatened, and I not warn him? That were a treachery against myself, a crime against art and my own poor heart. If I remain silent, I become an accomplice in this vile conspiracy." At this thought, he took his hat, and hurried from the room.
I know this is his dwelling; be kind enough to tell me if he is within." "This is his home, truly, but he is neither a great nor a wise man; only and simply Eckhof the actor." "I did not ask your opinion of the distinguished man whom I honor, but only where I can find him." "Tell me first what you want of Eckhof." "What I want of him, sir?" said the youth, thoughtfully; "I scarcely know myself.
With trembling heart, scarcely knowing what he thought or did, the student reached his room and closed the door, and throwing himself upon his knees, he cried out in tones of anguish: "Oh, my God! I have seen Eckhof: he is young, he is glorious in beauty, unhappy that I am!"
Lupinus stood in the middle of the room and gazed after Eckhof till he had reached the threshold, then rushed forward, threw himself upon his neck, clasped him in his arms, and murmured, in a voice choked with tears: "Farewell, farewell! Think of me, Eckhof! think that no woman has ever loved you as I have loved you! God bless you! God bless you, my beloved!"
"Dear friend, such an order would render justice to the scorned and oppressed on earth!" "And they will receive justice; but it must be sought in the right place." "Where is that place?" "Where the king is." "Ah! the king! That may be true in your case, because your brother is his private secretary, but it is not true for me not true for the German actor." "Eckhof, you are again unjust.
"Yes," they cried, with one voice, "we will follow Eckhof, we will obey our master, we will leave Berlin and seek a city where we shall be truly honored." "I have found the city," said Eckhof; "we will go to Halle.
"I have made you share in my happiness, and I demand the holy right of sharing your grief." Lupinus did not reply. Eckhof lifted him gently in his arms, and laying him upon the sofa, took a seat near him. He laid his arms around him, placed his head upon his bosom, and in a soft, melodious voice, whispered words of comfort, encouragement, and love.
One wild shriek rang from his bosom, a stream of tears gushed from his eyes, and he sank almost insensible to the floor. "My friend, my beloved friend!" cried Eckhof, "you suffer, and are silent. What is it that overpowers you? What is this great grief? Why do you weep? Let me share and alleviate your sorrow." "No, no!" cried Lupinus, rising, "I do not suffer; I have no pain, no cause of sorrow.
