"Heister saw that she could make nothing of Jacques, so she let him go, pretending that she was herself going no higher, but about to turn another way. "As soon, however, as Jacques was out of sight, she came back into the path which ran at the bottom of the cottage garden, and there she saw little Margot seated on the bank under the hedge, with a nosegay in her hand.
I ask you because I have many a chance of parting with scarce plants, dried and put into paper, to the strangers who come into the house. "'I don't think, answered Jacques, 'that little Margot would know a scarce plant if she found one. "'But she did find something very curious that day, said Heister. "'What day? asked Jacques. "'It might be ten days since, said Heister.
Jacques said they are called gentians; but I call them fairies' eyes, for they are just the very colour I always fancy the fairy of the Hartsfell's eyes must be they are so very blue. "'Well, well! exclaimed Heister, hastily, 'I dare say they were very pretty; but did you not find something more curious on the mountains than flowers?
"'Now, thought Heister, 'I shall have it; and she walked smilingly up to the child, and spoke fondly to her, asking her, 'where she got that pretty new apron? "Margot rose, made a curtsey, as she had been taught, and said: "'Grandmother made it, madame. "Heister praised her pretty face, her bright eyes, her nice curling hair; and then she asked her if she had any pretty flowers to give her.
What was it she said when she called me that day you speak of? If you can tell me, why then I shall better know how to answer you. "'She spoke of having found a net with golden fish and moons, replied Heister; 'what could she mean? "'It is difficult to know what she does mean sometimes, said Jacques; 'for the dear little lamb talks so fast that we do not attend to half she says.
And just then the village was particularly dull and quiet, as no stranger had happened to come for the last ten days, and many of the poor women had left their houses and gone up with their flocks to the châlets on the mountains. "When Heister got near Stolberg's cottage she met Jacques. He was going down on an errand to the pastor's from his father.
She will be absurd enough to imagine her rescue possible; she will again change her mind, and it is precisely that which General Heister fears. He would have her formally betrothed to the Prince of Baden before Charles Wogan is caught and hanged sky-high. Therefore, since I was pressing into Italy, he charged me with this message to the Prince of Baden. Now observe this, if you please.
"Heister liked knitting it is the most convenient work for one who loves talking; the fingers may go whilst the tongue is most busy. "Ella would have gone on without noticing Madame Kamp, but Heister had no mind that she should. "'Good evening, Ella Stolberg, she cried, 'whither away in such haste? but I know, to Madame Eversil's. Can't you stop a minute? I have a word to say to you.
Ella will have left the pastor's before I have reached there, if I stay with you, neighbour, any longer. So good-even, she added, 'and pray don't say a word about where my Uncle Stolberg keeps the money, or else grandmother will think I have told you, and she will, perhaps, be angry with me. "'And who else did tell me but yourself, giddy one? cried Heister Kamp, laughing.
The Hessian division of the British army, under General De Heister, advanced against this, while General Clinton, with the right wing of the English army, moved forward to attack the enemy's left. This force marched at nine o'clock at night on August 26; General Sir William Howe himself accompanied it.
