Prince Ferdinand William Otto winked back at the Princess Hedwig. And just then "Listen, Otto," said the Archduchess, leaning forward. "The 'Spinning Song' is it not exquisite?" "They are only pretending to spin," remarked Prince Ferdinand William Otto. Nevertheless he listened obediently. He rather liked it. They had not fooled him at all.
She said brilliant, rather heartless things that set the group to laughing, and in the intervals she eyed Hedwig with narrowed eyes and hate in her heart. Hedwig herself was very quiet. The bouquet had contained lilies-of-the-valley, for one thing. Miss Braithwaite knitted, and watched that the Crown Prince kept his white gloves clean.
Friendly relations between the two countries were established; and soon, very soon, would be ratified by his marriage. It was not of Olga Loschek, but of Hedwig that he thought, as his car climbed swiftly to the lodge. Hedwig had given up. She went through her days with a set face, white and drawn, but she knew now that the thing she was to do must be done.
"More and more," she said, "as you grow up, Hedwig, you remind me of your unfortunate father. You have the same lack of dignity, the same" she glanced at Nikky "the same common tastes, the same habit of choosing strange society, of forgetting your rank." Hedwig was scarlet, but Nikky had gone pale. As for the Archduchesss, her cameos were rising and falling stormily.
She playfully broke away from him, dancing through the hall, and challenging her brother to pursue and overtake her. Princess Louise said not a word, but the blush upon her cheeks died away, and the expression of horror and alarm vanished from her features. Still Princess Hedwig Sophie kept up her frolic, and as often as the Prince thought he had caught her she flew off again like a butterfly.
Elsa would have been better in some respects, but Hedwig ah, yes, she, too, is a good girl a little wild perhaps it will wear off. Have you spoken with her?" "Not yet." "But you will?" Again there fell that troubled look into those dreamy eyes. This time it was Ulrich who, laying aside his pipe, rested his great arms upon the wooden table.
In the end she grew quiet and sat looking into the fire with eyes full of stony despair. She had tried and failed. There was one way left, only one, and even that would not bring him back to her. Let Hedwig escape and marry Nikky Larisch still where was she? Let the Terrorists strike their blow and steal the Crown Prince. Again where was she?
Then both hurried into the hall to see the tails of Horatio Hannibal Harrison's coat vanishing up the broad stairway and to hear Fräulein Hedwig wailing, "Oh ze house iss burning up and down I am sure!" Meanwhile upon the scene of action Polly had been the first to recover her wits.
Hedwig shook her head. "There no letters were this morning, mein Fraulein. Not one at all." "That's queer! All right." Hedwig was waved away. "I wonder if anything is the matter? Of course there isn't only there haven't been three Mondays since I left here that John's letter didn't come on the early mail." She straightened a rose that was falling out of a jar and stood off to watch the effect.
Therefore she pretended not to hear Nikky behind her, and was completely engrossed in the city lights. So Hedwig intended to be remote, and Nikky meant to be firm and very, very loyal. Which shows how young and inexperienced they were. Because any one who knows even the beginnings of love knows that its victims suffer from an atrophy of both reason and conscience, and a hypertrophy of the heart.
