The group was disarranged, people laughed and found it amusing, but the Kammerjunker scolded aloud, and swore that she should come in again; at that the laughter of the spectators increased, and was not lessened when the Kammerjunker, forgetting his costume as the Somnambule, half stepped into the frame in which the pictures were represented, and seated the Mamsell on the bench.
Thostrup, of meeting with an old acquaintance; only you must not have home-sickness when you smell the heather and hear the ringing of the clattering pots!" The ladies now entered. Before paying any visits they determined upon making the round of the market. The Kammerjunker offered his arm to the mother. Otto saw this with secret gladness, and approached Sophie.
But now the Russian bath should be also essayed; "it was heated!" But the end of the affair was, that only the Kammerjunker himself made use of it. The dinner-table was prepared, and then he returned. "But here something is wanting!" exclaimed he; left the room, and returned immediately with two large bouquets, which he stuck into an ale-glass which he placed upon the table.
Wilhelm began to sing, "Charming the summer night," and the Kammerjunker joined in with him. "Sing with us man," cried Wilhelm to the silent Otto, and quickly the two companies were one singing caravan. It was late when they reached the hall. "Destiny often pulls off leaves, as we treat the vine, that its fruits may be earlier brought to maturity."
"That is an interesting old court!" exclaimed Otto. "O, that is not to be compared with the Kammerjunker's!" returned Wilhelm: "you should first see his!" "Yes, you must come over some of these days," said the Kammerjunker. "Silence, Fingal! Silence, Valdine!" cried he to the barking dogs. A couple of turkey-cocks spread their feathers out, and gobbled with all their might.
"There are neither fools nor tricks in the box," said Jakoba. "But only look in the mirror in the lid, and then you will perhaps see one of the two." "No rude speeches, my young lady!" said Wilhelm; "I am an academical burgher!" The Kammerjunker now entered, attired in the same riding dress in which we made his acquaintance.
"Miss Sophie has arranged the whole!" cried the Kammerjunker, and now her name sounded from the lips of all the audience. Not before two days did Wilhelm return. He and Otto slept in the same apartment. Otto told of the tableaux, and said how lovely Eva had been as Hero.
I joke, I talk a deal; but for all that, believe me, I am not happy!" They talked about the Kammerjunker, about Otto, and about the French cousin. It was late in the night. Large tears stood in Sophie's eyes, but she laughed for all that, and ended with a quotation from Jean Paul. Louise pressed her countenance on the soft pillow, and wept.
The Kammerjunker spoke of sucking-pigs, but that also was interesting; perhaps be drew his inspiration out of the same source as Otto. He spoke of the power of green buckwheat, and how the swine which eat it become mad. From this doubtless originated the legend of the devil entering into the swine.
"Do you play such jokes on your estate?" inquired Otto, addressing himself to Wilhelm. "No, not such refined ones!" returned the Kammerjunker; "perhaps a piece of wood, or a silly mask, is laid in your bed. Miss Sophie gives us other clever things for amusement tableaux and the magic-lantern. I was once of the party. Yes, what was it I represented? Ah, I played, Heaven help me!
