'You deserve it for colossal and immense coolness. Now you can tell me the true inward meaning of all this rigmarole. What is it? 'I want it for Prince Eugen, she began, at first hesitatingly, with pauses. 'He's ruined unless he can get a million to pay off his debts. He's dreadfully in love with a Princess, and he can't marry her because of this. Her parents wouldn't allow it.
The affair seemed to her just then so plain and straightforward. 'Because one of two things may have happened. Either Eugen may have been, in plain language, abducted, or he may have had his own reasons for changing his programme and keeping in the background out of reach of telegraph and post and railways. 'What sort of reasons? 'Do not ask me.
Eugen D'Albert, who was present, was asked to accompany the orchestral part of the concerto on a second piano. Liszt commended the work in warm terms: "You must bestir yourself," he warned D'Albert, "if you do not wish to be outdone by our young American." Liszt praised his piano playing too, and MacDowell returned to Frankfort in a happy frame of mind.
He desired nothing better than to abandon his princely title, and live as a plain man, the husband of the finest woman on earth.... But now!... Pah! How selfish he was, to be thinking of himself when Eugen lay dying. Yet Nella! The door opened, and a man entered, who was obviously the doctor. A few curt questions, and he had grasped the essentials of the case.
"Romanzow, who is now in Eugen's old Camp, summons the Veteran; they say, it is 'for the twenty-fifth time, not yet quite the last. Romanzow tries storm; the walls are glass; the garrison has powder, though on half rations as to bread: storm is of no effect. By the King's order, Eugen tries again.
It is the wife of the younger Smirnoff Alexander married a dancer who cannot be received who keeps up the name. Eugen married Olga Lodoroff. She was a child when I was married. She wouldn't remember me at all now. But we have had not one excuse. They are all to come. Kasha, I am happy to-night! Think " "Of course, Sophie, they are coming.
"At what price?" asked the Colonel, suddenly, with darkening face. "No, no; it is not as you think, or as Eugen will persist in believing. I have not been forced. Herbert gave me my free choice.
'And what if I do owe a million? said Prince Eugen with assumed valour. 'Oh, nothing, my dear Eugen, nothing. Only it is rather a large sum to have scattered in ten years, is it not? How did you manage it? 'Don't ask me, Aribert. I've been a fool. But I swear to you that the woman whom you call "the lady in the red hat" is the last of my follies.
At home here, the Russians are in Pommern and the Neumark; Austrians have Saxony, all but a poor strip beyond the Mulda; Silesia, all but a fraction on the Oder: Friedrich has with himself 30,000; with Prince Henri, 25,000; under Eugen of Wurtemberg, against the Swedes, 5,000; in all his Dominions, 60,000 fighting men.
'Why should I weary you with my confidences? he said. 'I don't know, I cannot tell; but I feel that I must. I feel that you will understand me better than anyone else in the world. And yet why should you understand me? Again, I don't know. Miss Racksole, I will disclose to you the whole trouble in a word. Prince Eugen, the hereditary Grand Duke of Posen, has disappeared.
