"The gentlemen are waiting on the steps, and I have asked the Advanced Lady to come with us." "Na, how extraordinary!" cried Elsa. "But this moment the gnadige Frau and I were debating whether " "Yes, I met her coming out of her room and she said she was charmed with the idea. Like all of us, she has never been to Schlingen. She is downstairs now, talking to Herr Erchardt.
Having toiled up these stairs of almost national politeness we landed, triumphant and smiling, and paused to recover breath. "And now," said Herr Erchardt, "I have a pleasure in store for you. The Frau Professor is going to be one of us for the afternoon. Yes," nodding graciously to the Advanced Lady. "Allow me to introduce you to each other."
We broke the bread into the bowls, added the cream, and stirred it round with flat wooden spoons, the landlord and his wife standing by. "Splendid weather!" said Herr Erchardt, waving his spoon at the landlord, who shrugged his shoulders. "What! you don't call it splendid!" "As you please," said the landlord, obviously scorning us.
I think the masculine element must have felt these angry vibrations: they ceased from singing, and together we climbed out of the wood, to see Schlingen below us, tucked in a circle of hills, the white houses shining in the sunlight, "for all the world like eggs in a bird's nest", as Herr Erchardt declared.
"Hasn't it been a nice afternoon?" I said questioningly. "But you know, that theory of yours about women and Love it's as old as the hills oh, older!" From the road a sudden shout of triumph. Yes, there he was again white beard, silk handkerchief and undaunted enthusiasm. "What did I say? Eight kilometres it is!" "Seven and a half!" shrieked Herr Erchardt. "Why, then, do you return in carts?
We bowed very formally, and looked each other over with that eye which is known as "eagle" but is far more the property of the female than that most unoffending of birds. "I think you are English?" she said. I acknowledged the fact. "I am reading a great many English books just now rather, I am studying them." "Nu," cried Herr Erchardt. "Fancy that! What a bond already!
Eight kilometres it must be." Herr Erchardt made a cup of his hands and stood up in the jolting cart while Frau Kellermann clung to his knees. "Seven and a half!" "Ignorance must not go uncontradicted!" I said to the Advanced Lady. The landlady knocked at the door. "Come in," said Viola.
Herr Erchardt and I had not met before that day, so, in accordance with strict pension custom, we asked each other how long we had slept during the night, had we dreamed agreeably, what time we had got up, was the coffee fresh when we had appeared at breakfast, and how had we passed the morning.
"But that is eight kilometres," shouted one old man with a white beard, who leaned against a fence, fanning himself with a yellow handkerchief. "Seven and a half," answered Herr Erchardt shortly. "Eight," bellowed the sage. "Seven and a half!" "Eight!" "The man is mad," said Herr Erchardt. "Well, please let him be mad in peace," said I, putting my hands over my ears.
"We must have many excursions like this," said Herr Erchardt to me, "for one surely gets to know a person in the simple surroundings of the open air one SHARES the same joys one feels friendship. What is it your Shakespeare says? One moment, I have it. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel!"
