The officer of justice stepped forward and with a low bow took the length and breadth of the Welschers' offending, and promised that the Austrian government would do its best to see the distinguished, very noble Herrschaft righted. We cannot be quite certain that he promised that the emperor would seek the boots in person, but something was said about that mighty potentate.
And then he spoke just like a Herr Curat: 'This is no lodging-house, where any one can be quartered, my Herrschaft. Nor believe that those who occupy my spare rooms are casual visitors. Oh no! They are particular friends of mine.
As it was, I did not inform him of the catastrophe, but let him come toiling on, wondering audibly what madness could drive Herrschaft into such places; and when he arrived, we cut off the wet wick, and lighted the candle again.
Thus all our powers of persuasion were lost upon the handsome sister of the young wirth, a noted beauty of the neighborhood. "Their house was full already. Nine guests, who had never sent word beforehand, were quite out of the question, but the Herrschaft could be accommodated at the Elephant opposite, which was related to the Post."
They can't put me off with the children because I haven't any nurse or governess, and there aren't any other girls between infants and real young ladies. I am so pleased to be going as a Herrschaft, and I have a darling new frock for this and everything. It's a soft rosy silk with tiny tight rosebuds all over it. And I have a little wreath of buds to wear in my hair.
"Klaus," demanded the second chef, "the Herrschaft ask when the vehicle will be ready." Klaus gave an astonished stare, and articulated some rapid sounds in a dialect quite unintelligible to us. "Precisely," returned the subordinate. "The horses are sent for, and when they arrive the Herrschaft will be expedited forthwith."
We demurred at first, but with a smile on his open, ingenuous face he added, "The Herrschaft may be quite sure that I would not sin against my conscience." He then brought half a dozen plated candlesticks from the little sacristy, which he committed to our care. The reader must not suppose that this was a disused chapel: far from it.
"The barn is swept and garnished in readiness for the Herrschaft, and their bundles and parcels are arranged there in beautiful order many bundles, and far heavier than they looked last night."
We had soon left the village of Moritz behind us, and were climbing a shady wood-path, when we met a peasant-woman with her daughter, and she exclaimed, "What! Herrschaft going to Rein! What big eyes they will make over the stones!" Sure enough, very big eyes were made by some of the Herrschaft.
