The lovers were wedded next day amid the acclamations of their friends and retainers, and Kuno and Gerda dwelt in Rheinstein for many a year, loving and beloved. The Legend of Falkenburg In the imperial fortress of Falkenburg dwelt the beautiful Liba, the most charming and accomplished of maidens, with her widowed mother.
"I see nothing in this you're romancing again, Aileen; you'd better put it aside; it will get you into trouble sometime." "Oh, never fear for me, Mrs. Champney; I'll take care of all the romancing as well as the romances but can't you see by those few words that it's Mr. Ben Falkenburg who is going to make the yachting trip for Miss Van Ostend, and not your nephew?"

It angered him to think of being thwarted at this point.
