"That, probably, is the reason you appear so seldom," said Count Esterhazy. "I have heard your absence complained of." "By her majesty?" asked Count Starhemberg. "No, your excellency, by the emperor." "What did he say?" "Dare I repeat his words?" asked Esterhazy, appealing to the countess. She bowed her head, and leaned against the back of an arm-chair.
In M. Zola's estimation, the Colonel's arrest had been merely a question of time ever since the day when one had learnt that he had disguised himself with a false beard and blue glasses when he went to meet the notorious Esterhazy.
"I have been sleeping," murmured she. "I saw the emperor, I felt his arm around me, I dreamed that he was bending over me " "It was no dream, Countess Esterhazy," said Joseph softly. She started, and rose from the sofa, her whole frame tremulous with emotion.
Hope was unable to accept the invitation of Prince Esterhazy, in consequence of an engagement to visit another Hungarian magnate, Prince Palffy. The latter visit, with various other interesting details, is recorded in the following letter: J. R. Hope, Esq., to Edward L. Badeley, Esq. Vienna: Nov. 7, 1844.
The tyranny of Maria Theresa had compelled me to marriage with a wretch who succeeded in beguiling me to the altar by a lie. I swore to revenge myself, and you have been the instrument of my revenge. The woman who could condescend to leave her home with you, is so doubly-dyed in disgrace that Count Esterhazy can no longer refuse to grant her a divorce.
Lionel and Anthony were with him; the two latter got into my chariot, and I drove with the former to Prince Esterhazy, whither he was proceeding with the intention of conferring with him on the subject of emancipation in Austria. "On our arrival I remained for some time with Anthony in the prince's dining-room.
The prince and princess are hailed and received at the castle as king and queen. A guard of soldiers of the family, which the Esterhazy have the sovereign right to maintain, form the garrison of this palatial fortress, and it has a whole establishment of salaried officials within.
Oh, see how I humble myself! I am on my knees before you. Spurn me from you in the face of the whole world!" Count Esterhazy looked thoughtful. Unhappily, the countess on her knees was more beautiful than ever; so that remembering her uncle's words, he said to himself "Yes-I will humor her-I must feign to yield." He stretched out his hands, saying, "Rise, countess.
"Then there is Count Esterhazy, one of our most brilliant cavaliers; you must not accuse him of stinginess, for he is just the reverse, a spendthrift, squandering his money with full hands; nor must you charge him with being an epicure, for he scarcely eats any thing at all at our dinner-parties, and does not know what he is eating, his eyes being constantly riveted on you, and his thoughts being occupied exclusively with you."
I have nothing more to say to you." "What, Margaret!" said Esterhazy, with an incredulous smile, "you would deny me the sweet right of visiting your room? Chide, if you will; but be not so cruel. Let me have the first kiss " As he attempted to put his arms around her, Margaret uttered a fearful cry.
