That face was not regular; its cheek-bones were rather prominent, the nose was flattish; there was about it an air, innocent, reflecting, quizzical, shy. "Oh!" she said. Harz smiled: "Good-morning! This your dog?" She did not answer, but looked at him with soft bewilderment; then running to the dog seized him by the collar. "Scr-ruff! Thou naughty dog the baddest dog!"
I repeated to myself: "Why, then, so little known?" The Alps and the Rockies, the Pyrennees and the Harz are more familiar to the American people, in print and picture, if not by actual visit, than are the Black, the Balsam, and the Great Smoky Mountains.
In her sheltered life, her heart had never been ruffled except by rare fits of passion "tantrums" old Nicholas Treffry dubbed them at what seemed to her mean or unjust. "If I were a man," she said, "and going to be great, I should have wanted to begin at the very bottom as you did." "Yes," said Harz quickly, "one should be able to feel everything."
All over Northern and Central Germany, from Altmark and Anhalt on the east, through Brunswick, Hanover, Oldenburg, the Harz district, and Hesse to Westphalia the Easter bonfires still blaze simultaneously on the hill-tops. As many as forty may sometimes be counted within sight at once.
What Harz did fast he did best; if he had leisure he "saw too much," loving his work so passionately that he could never tell exactly when to stop. He hated to lay things aside, always thinking: "I can get it better." Greta was finished, but with Christian, try as he would, he was not satisfied; from day to day her face seemed to him to change, as if her soul were growing.
Nicholas Treffry had found him overworked in an hotel, and had engaged him with the caution: "Look here, Dominique! I swear!" To which Dominique, dark of feature, saturnine and ironical, had only replied: "Tres biens, M'sieur!" Harz and his host sat in leather chairs; Herr Paul's square back was wedged into a cushion, his round legs crossed.
You live by playing ball with facts. Images nothing solid hein? You're all for new things too, to tickle your nerves. No discipline! True anarchists, every one of you!" Harz poured out another glass of wine and drank it off. The man's feverish excitement was catching. "Only fools," he replied, "take things for granted. As for discipline, what do you aristocrats, or bourgeois know of discipline?
Ah, madame, I see why you absented yourself so cruelly this morning. You have been engaged in good works!" "Only the sauces, Favraud! seulement les sauces" "The sauces it's just that! Tide is a mere charlatan in comparison," turning to me. "Miss Harz, you never tasted any thing before like madame's soup and sauces.
"Your mind is on Wentworth, I perceive," he said, softly; after a short pause, "now give up your dream for a little while and listen to this sober reality sober to-day, at least," he added, with a light laugh. "By-the-way, talking of magnetism, do you know, Miss Harz, I think you are the most universally magnetic woman I ever saw?
Harz hurriedly broke in: "Thank you. I will come with pleasure; you don't mind my being dirty?" "Oh no! we do not mind; then we shall none of us wash, and afterwards I shall show you my rabbits." Miss Naylor, moving from foot to foot, like a bird on its perch, exclaimed: "I hope you won't regret it, not a very good meal the girls are so impulsive such informal invitation; we shall be very glad."
