Then Paul, with the help of a policeman, carried him up the steps to the room for the witnesses. His mother and sisters came after them, and the people stopped and looked at the melancholy procession. The waiting-room for the witnesses was full of people, mostly inmates from Helenenthal.
But there are the flames No. Perhaps in another second the fiery glow will rise to the sky. "Elsbeth, awake'" It will flame up as it did then, eight years ago, when the blood red reflection paralyzed all his faculties, as he roamed in the garden of Helenenthal.
Four weeks had passed since that midsummer night, when there came from Helenenthal two cards of invitation one for Meyerhofer junior and the other for the young ladies. "For a garden party," they said. "Aha! they court our favor already," the old man cried, "the rats smell the bacon."
Though what the business really was that took you to Helenenthal that night passes my comprehension, but it is all right quite right! now I know the exact hour." Then you know a great deal! said Greta, laughing. "So I do," he answered, sulkily. "You'll see, my little daughter, you'll see!"
He added, "that never before had he found such harmony! but no declaration had ever been made, not being able to prevail on himself to do so." This conversation took place in Sept. 1816, at Helenenthal, in Baden, and the person to whom he alluded was undoubtedly Marie L. Pachler-Koschak in Gratz. Vienna, April 3, 1816. Neate is no doubt in London by this time.
However, just as they were coming through the gates of Helenenthal they heard a dog howling piteously near the barn, and saw a strange cur with his fore paws on a dark mass lying there, and from time to time pulling at something that looked like the end of a garment. Douglas, surprised, ordered the cart to stop, and walked up to it. There he found the person they were seeking a corpse.
Yes; the walk through the sand and the noontide heat had tired her. "Then come into our house and rest," he cried, with sparkling eyes, for he thought what joy his mother would feel at seeing her. But she refused. "Your father is not kindly disposed towards us, mamma said, and that's why you may not come for a visit to Helenenthal. Your father would perhaps send me away."
But how to do so was totally vague to him; he did not even know if Douglas had been seriously hurt by the dog's bite. Once when he was roving about at twilight on the other side of the wood he saw Michel Raudszus coming from Helenenthal. He carried a spade over his shoulder, on which hung a bundle.
A long pause, then another "no" came from his mouth, this time softly and hesitatingly, as if wrung from his conscience. The constraint which weighed on every one began to lessen, the president turned over his papers, and Elsbeth gazed across at him with big lustreless eyes. "Where were you when you first saw the glow of the flames?" "About twenty steps away from the manor-house of Helenenthal."
Soon he knew each room, each arbor in the garden, the pond, surrounded by green bushes and shrubs, before it the shining glass balls, and the sundial on the terrace: only fancy, a clock on which the sun itself had to mark the hours. What a marvel! He could have walked about in Helenenthal with his eyes closed, and not have lost his way.
