Presently the Felsenburg came plainly in view, some way above them, on a bold projection of the mountain, and planting its bulk against the starry sky. 'See, Gotthold, said the Prince, 'our destination. Gotthold awoke as from a trance. 'I was thinking, said he, 'if there is any danger, why did you not resist? I was told you came of your free will; but should you not be there to help her?
'There, said the Baronet, pointing to the tower, 'you see the Felsenburg, your goal. I wish you a good journey, and regret I cannot be of more assistance. He mounted to his place and gave a signal, and the carriage rolled away. Seraphina stood by the wayside, gazing before her with blind eyes.
'And the Prince, she asked, 'is anything known of him? 'It is reported, replied Sir John, with the same pleasurable deliberation, 'that upon that point your Highness is the best authority. 'Sir John, she said eagerly, 'you were generous enough to speak about your carriage. Will you, I beseech you, will you take me to the Felsenburg? I have business there of an extreme importance.
She had but one clear idea: to flee; and another, obscure and half-rejected, although still obeyed: to flee in the direction of the Felsenburg.

'Here, she said, 'I will dismount poor Karl, and you and I must ply our spurs.

I have the order all in Ratafia's hand; I carry it on my heart. At the hour of twelve to-night, Prince Featherhead is to be taken in his bed, and, like the bambino, whipped into a chariot; and by next morning he will command a most romantic prospect from the donjon of the Felsenburg. Farewell, Featherhead!

All things considered, the next day beheld an elegant and beautiful lady, in a riding-habit and a flapping hat, draw bridle at the gate of the Felsenburg, not perhaps with any clear idea of her purpose, but with her usual experimental views on life.
