Such pauses of pathos are the records of real or fanciful situations, as of Teufelsdroeckh "left alone with the night" when Blumine and Herr Towgood ride down the valley; of Oliver recalling the old days at St. Ives; of the Electress Louisa bidding adieu to her Elector.
The noises seemed to advance as if step by step, and grew louder in each ear as she stood horrified on the marble of the hearth. She looked at the Electress again, and her eyes were wide open; but for all Isentrude's calling, she would not wake. Only think! Now the noise increased, and was a regular tramp-grate, tramp-screw sound-coming nearer and nearer: Saints of mercy!
Frederick William bowed in silence and repaired to his mother's apartments. The Electress received him with open arms, and pressed him to her heart. "I have you again, my son, I have you again," she cried with warmth. "A merciful God has not been willing to deprive me of my only happiness; he has preserved you to me.
"How?" asked the Electress, "must I have some special object in view, when I smile upon you, and fondle you a little? Know you not that my soul is full of tenderness toward you, and that my heart is ever speaking to you, even when the lips utter not aloud what the heart is whispering within?"
On this very account the triumphant Presbyterians were anxious to carry the union scheme, and the correspondence of the Electress Sophia proves that the negotiations for union were looked upon at Hanover as solely an important factor in the succession controversy.
Just tell me in short, concise words, when does my son, the Electoral Prince, come?" "My dear lord and husband," said the Electress with reluctance and visible embarrassment, "would it not be best for you to speak on this subject with the chamberlain, Balthazar von Schlieben " "What!" cried the Elector, springing from his seat "what!
"The Electress of the Palatinate had received her first letter from the Princess the day before I waited upon her, and, as the Electress had ever honored me with her confidence, she communicated to me the contents of that letter." "What were they? Quick, tell them quickly, that my heart may not break meanwhile. What was in the letter?"
Why did you suffer it? Is it not your own cow?" "Understand, it is my own cow," replied the little girl, seriously. "My good aunt, the Electress, has made me a present of it, that I may have some pleasure when I come here to Doornward, and it makes me feel as if I were at home. For you must know, cousin, that I have a regular dairy at The Hague."
That sale and the "History" are enough to make the old Electress shudder in her coffin. April 13, 1782. Your partiality to me, my good Sir, is much overseen, if you think me fit to correct your Latin. Alas! I have not skimmed ten pages of Latin these dozen years.
"I would venture," he said, "most humbly to ask her highness's permission to lay the brocade stuffs at her feet." "Mamma, do so," coaxed Sophie Hedwig; "take the pretty dress patterns from the good Stadtholder." "Well, then, I shall do so," said the Electress. "I accept your present for myself and the young ladies, and I thank you." She extended her hand to the count, which he kissed.
