Angelo Valla you know him Manin's former minister " "Yes, I know," said Count Josef, with his enigmatical smile. "Valla told me of Menko's arrest. I knew that Menko had left Paris, and I was very anxious to find where he had gone. Valla learned, at the Italian embassy in Paris, of the affair of this Labanoff and of the real or apparent complicity of Michel Menko; and he told me about it.
For me, I sat down in an armchair, and as I sat there, half-dazed, Josef clipped and scraped me till my moustache and imperial were things of the past and my face was as bare as the King's. And when Fritz saw me thus he drew a long breath and exclaimed: "By Jove, we shall do it!" It was six o'clock now, and we had no time to lose.
Not long after, he was admitted to the choir, where his sweet young voice joined in the church anthems. Always before his mind was a great city where he knew he would find the most beautiful music the music of his dreams. That city was Vienna, but it lay far away. Josef looked down at his ragged clothing and wondered if he would ever see that magical city.
I had left my hat and coat in the entrance hall downstairs. I put on my coat, then went to Monica in the morning-room. There was much she wanted to say I could see it in her eyes but I think she gathered from my face what I was going to do, so she said nothing. At the door I said aloud, for the benefit of Josef, who was on the stairs: "Very good, my lady.
I leaned forward; I looked. "She comes!" cried Josef Emanuel. The circle opened as if opening to admit a new and welcome member. At this instant a torch chanced to be carried past; its blaze aided the pale moon in doing justice to the crisis, in lighting to perfection the denouement pressing on. Surely those near me must have felt some little of the anxiety I felt, in degree so unmeted.
Would you taste the whip?" "Better that than the noose he planned for me," sulkily retorted the peasant. "You had better be precise," said Sobieska. "Well, if you will have it, I'll tell you," the man answered. Emboldened by an encouraging murmur from Josef he continued. Carter held up his hand. "Wait a moment," he exclaimed as he turned appealingly to Trusia.
At that moment Slimakowa tapped at the window. 'Josef, come quick, something has happened to the new cow, she's staggering. Slimak let go of Jendrek and ran to the cowshed. The three cows were standing quietly chewing the cud. 'It has passed off, said the woman; 'but I tell you a minute ago she was staggering worse than you did yesterday.
Dating it, he handed it to the official. The latter carefully read and reread it, then turned quizzically to Josef. "A thousand pardons, m'sieu," he said, "but you have given no address." "How stupid," laughed the old fellow. "It is for Fraulein Julia Haupt, Notions Merchant, 16 Hoffstrasse, Bregenz."
"Nick van Rensselaer! So that's the way of it," he remarked. "Josef simply wrote her to come, that everything had been arranged by some great lady. There were no conditions save that she should write to her unknown benefactor once a month. The money is to be repaid when Katrine becomes a great singer. "It's just as well just as well!"
We had to pass some whoppers, which would have satisfied any reasonable man; for there was the San Josef, and Salvador del Mondo, and San Nicolas; but nothing would suit Nelson but this four-decked ship; so we crossed the hawse of about six of them, and as soon as we were abreast of her, and at the word `Fire! every gun went off at once, slap into her, and the old Captain reeled at the discharge as if she was drunk.
