Come to my arms, outstretched to press to my heart the most beautiful, most intelligent, and most diplomatic of women!" Two days later it was related in Berlin that Wilhelmine Enke had married the princely valet de chambre Rietz, the crown prince being present at the ceremony, which took place at a small village near Potsdam.
The wind gently rustled in the trees, wafting the perfume of flowers. Sweet stillness reigned around, and lowly sang the birds as if not to waken the king, who slept by the marble form of his beloved sister Windspiel upon his knees, and in the sand at his feet the word traced by his own hand, "Immortality." Wilhelmine Enke was still living at her villa at Charlottenburg.
The joy which Bischofswerder said, reigned in heaven and upon earth over the return of the crown prince to the path of virtue, in having forsaken Wilhelmine Enke, was of but short duration. The Invisibles and the pious Rosicrucians soon learned that sagacious and cunning woman defied the spirits and abjured the oaths.
He signed the paper, and filled with haste the deficiency in the contract. "It is done!" he cried, joyfully, "the proprietress, Wilhelmine Enke; purchaser, Frederick William of Prussia. Nothing remains to be done but to draw upon the king's treasury, and pay Count Schmettau." "Your royal highness is spared even that trouble.
An incredible advance, of which we shall merely record the most important facts, took place in the study of the physical sciences. Three new planets were discovered, Pallas, in 1802, and Vesta, in 1807, by Gibers; Juno, in 1824, by Harding. Enke and Biela first fixed the regular return and brief revolution of the two comets named after them.
"Swear!" cried the chorus of masks. "I swear that Wilhelmine Enke shall no longer be my mistress. I swear by all that is holy that I will renounce her! Voice failed him; there was a ringing and buzzing in his ears; every thing swam before his eyes, and he sank fainting.
"I was not laughing, sire. If my lip quivered against my will, it was because I stupidly and foolishly dared to finish the broken sentence." "Well, how did you manage to conclude it?" "Sire, your majesty said, 'Tell the crown prince that I order him' and there you ceased. I added 'order him to love Wilhelmine Enke, and be faithful to her. I beg pardon for my mistake.
"Does Enke do that?" asked the king. "Yes, sire," answered Herzberg, as the king rose and slowly paced the room. "And one must acknowledge that in that she does well and nobly. Otherwise one cannot reproach her. She leads a quiet, retired life, very seldom leaving her beautiful villa at Charlottenburg, but devotes herself to the education of her children.
No, the Princess of Prussia cannot rival Wilhelmine Enke. I have no fear of her. But the king I have to fear," cried she suddenly, shrinking with terror. In the meeting with the princess she had forgotten him, her anguish, her anxiety for the future. All were forgotten for the moment to be recalled with renewed terror. "Thank Heaven," she said, "I have escaped. For the moment I am safe!
He drew it from his pocket, and gave it to the little prince, who seized his hand and pressed it to his lips. Wilhelmine Enke passed the remainder of the day, after her meeting with the king, in anguish and tears. She recalled all that he had said to her, every word of which pierced her to the heart.
