"That is an odd kind of logic." "Do be quiet with your logic and your philosophy, and the lot of them. I am not a logician, but a man, and I feel a mortal offense like a man, and want to settle with the offender." "Do stop a minute and let me speak a word. I will break off my relations with Fraulein Ellrich, and then I shall not be in a position to fight for her." "That is very chivalrous!"
I wanted to learn the language, the words of which, with no understanding of their sense, I had been slavishly copying; and so I turned to the study of physical science." "So your two years at the Art School were not wasted," remarked Herr Ellrich. "Certainly not, for to an observer of natural objects it is most valuable to have a trained eye for form and color."
When Wilhelm asked for Frau Ellrich, he said shortly that she was not at home. In spite of this Wilhelm took out his card, and holding it out said, "Will you kindly announce me, as I am expected." The man left him in an anteroom, and after a short pause took him into the drawing-room.
Schrotter had made him sit on a divan surrounded by cushions, and listened attentively, while his half-closed eyes, full of fire, rested on his friend's unhappy face. Wilhelm had never mentioned his engagement to Fraulein Ellrich to many of his old friends, but Dr. Schrotter had been told of it in all its circumstances by Paul Haber.
Wilhelm agreed with him, and related how he was induced by the romantic aspect of the place to give up his original plans, and to anchor himself here. When they questioned him, he gave them some information about Heidelberg and his journey to Hornberg. Frau Ellrich complimented him on his sketch, and while he modestly disclaimed the praise, she asked him why he had not devoted himself to art.
The orders which the civilians wore fastened on the lapels of their dress coats were hopelessly thrown in the shade by the epaulettes of the officers, and the medals decorating their colored uniforms. Herr Ellrich made a good host, passing quickly but quietly from one group to another.
Perhaps Dr. " She stopped short, and her mother came to her help and completed the invitation. "It would be very kind of you to join us." "I am only afraid that I might be in the way." "Oh, no; certainly not," said the mother and daughter together, and Herr Ellrich nodded encouragingly. Wilhelm felt that the invitation was meant cordially, and his fear of obtruding himself overcome, he accepted.
"Yes, certainly," he answered at once. "Then we may become good friends. My parents will be glad to make your acquaintance. I did not tell you before that my father is Herr Ellrich."
"It is hard work," sighed Frau Ellrich; "I have dozens of letters to write every day, and can hardly keep up with the correspondence." Herr von Pechlar said he regretted that he was obliged to take to the sword; he would much rather have helped the ladies with the pen. Wilhelm felt that the moral atmosphere was intolerable. He had nothing to say, and yet it was painful to him to be silent.
It was not without a struggle with himself that he let a dance go by and went over to where Wilhelm stood. "What a great pity it is that you don't dance." "Fraulein Ellrich has just said the same thing," answered Wilhelm, smiling a little. "And she is quite right. You are like a thirsty man beside a delicious spring, and are not able to drink. It is pure Tantalus."
