We are here, sir, at about an equal distance from Mittwalden in Grünewald and Brandenau in Gerolstein: six leagues to either, and the road excellent; but there is not a wine-bush, not a carter's alehouse, anywhere between. You will have to accept my hospitality for the night; rough hospitality, to which I make you freely welcome; for, sir," he added, with a bow, "it is God who sends the guest."
'Madam, I said "honourable," returned Otto, bowing. 'This war is, in my eyes, and by Herr von Gondremark's account, an inadmissible expedient. If we have misgoverned here in Grunewald, are the people of Gerolstein to bleed and pay for our mis-doings? Never, madam; not while I live.
It seems to me he is more beloved even than he is revered." "Ah!" I exclaimed, "it is not only here, in the midst of this court, that he is cherished. If the blessings of the people should be echoed to posterity, the name of Rudolph of Gerolstein would be, with justice, immortal."
From this moment, Fleur-de-Marie was struck with one of those presentiments which often have, on characters like hers, an irresistible influence. A short time after these sad events, Rudolph and his daughter had left Paris forever. "OLDENZAAL, August 23d, 1841. I have just returned from Gerolstein, where I passed three months with the grand duke and his family.
"It is rustic," returned Mr. Gottesheim, looking around him with complacency, "a very rustic corner; and some of the land to the west is most excellent fat land, excellent deep soil. You should see my wheat in the ten-acre field. There is not a farm in Grünewald, no, nor many in Gerolstein, to match the River Farm.
I would we had his like in Gerolstein." "He is a bad man," said the old farmer, shaking his head; "and there was never good begun by the breach of God's commandments. But so far I will go with you: he is a man that works for what he has." "I tell you he's the hope of Grünewald," cried Fritz.
The carriage swung forth out of the valleys on that open balcony of high-road that runs along the front of Grunewald, looking down on Gerolstein. Far below, a white waterfall was shining to the stars from the falling skirts of forest, and beyond that, the night stood naked above the plain.
She assumed a haughty expression such as the Duchess of Gerolstein assumes when she appoints the private to the office of generalissimo and with a careless wave of the hand said: "Summon His Highness!" Between Cutty's heart and his throat there was very little space at that moment for the propelment of sound.
As for any fear of me, your friends are safe in Gerolstein; and even in my own territory, you must be well aware I have no power. O, sir, she said, curtsying, 'I would not say that: the huntsmen would all die for you. 'Happy Prince! said Otto. 'But although you are too courteous to avow the knowledge, you have had many opportunities of learning that I am a vain show.
Our troops are all cantoned along the frontier; in five hours the vanguard of five thousand bayonets shall be hammering on the gates of Brandenau; and in all Gerolstein there are not fifteen hundred men who can manoeuvre. It is as simple as a sum. There can be no resistance." "It is no great exploit," she said. "Is that what you call glory? It is like beating a child."
