"And then, nothing till we pick ourselves up." "Do you mean that Mr. Dryfoos will put you both oat of your places?" "He may." "And Mr. Mawch takes the risk of that jost fo' a principle?" "I reckon." "And you do it jost fo' an ahdeal?" "It won't do to own it. I must have my little axe to grind, somewhere." "Well, men awe splendid," sighed the girl. "Ah will say it."
But in truth Jost had not said any such thing to Dietrich! One of the men had run at once for the doctor, and the doctor had come in the night to the Rehbock, and had found that the two men were not dead after all. So he had given orders that they should be let alone till they had slept off the effect of their carouse.
Ah! if the excellent people the masses as we call them knew what rogues had the ruling of their affairs in some countries not in this country, of course!" he added with a quizzical smile, "but in some others, not very far away, I wonder how many revolutions would break out within six months! Good-night, Mr. Jost!" "Good-night!" responded Jost briefly.
"Oh yes, well, when will it be possible, I wonder. How much have you paid me back, as yet, since you began to borrow of me?" said Dietrich angrily. "Let me go, Blasi, I've no time to spare." But Blasi went along by his side, and before he had done talking, Jost joined them and held Dietrich fast by the other arm.
Veronica hung upon every word that fell from Blasi's lips, and when he had finished, she walked silently by his side, deep in thought. Presently he asked her what he should do if Jost found out that he had opened his letter and hauled him up before a Justice of the Peace for it. Veronica said she believed that Jost would scarcely care to say anything about the letter.
Perousse gave a careless nod; his thoughts were otherwise occupied. "This Pasquin Leroy has gone to Moscow?" "According to his own words, he was leaving this morning." "I daresay that statement is a blind. I should not at all wonder if he is still in the city. I will get an exact description of him from Jost, and set Bernhoff on his track."
His tongue was still somewhat heavy, but he had mended much in the three weeks since Ann had departed, and it was hard enough by this time to get him away from the wine-jug. It was in the refectory of the forest lodge that he had thus delivered himself to my Uncle Conrad and Jost Tetzel, Ursula's father; and it was of my brother Herdegen that he spoke.
Such remarks as these, thrown out before all the company at the Rehbock were very exasperating to Blasi and several times he seized the big bowl to throw it at the insolent fellow's head. He did not throw it however, for Veronica had charged him to have as little as possible to do with Jost, and especially never to quarrel with him, and Veronica's influence over Blasi grew stronger every day.
Certainly!" and Del Fortis gave a piously- deprecating nod "He ought to be made to pay! Especially when he hurts the feelings of his old friends! Are you going, Mr. Jost? Yes? What a pity! But you no doubt have your reporters present?" "Oh, there are plenty of them about," said Jost carelessly, "But I shall condense all the account of these proceedings into a few lines."
It is true Eva was a little disappointed that the actual words were not yet said, and when he made an airy reference to paying a farewell call that morning upon their neighbors at Lincoln Lodge, she exhibited so much disapproval in her air that he said at once "Ach, vell, I shall jost go after lonch and be back in an hour and a half. I jost vish to say good-bye, zat is all."
