She knows all that Plotinus has been to me." And she broke down into fresh sobbing. When she was a little calmer, she apologised for her weakness and bid her fair guest good night. Katharina, meanwhile, was taking a bath. A bathroom was an indispensable adjunct to every wealthy Graeco-Egyptian house, and her father had taken particular pains with its construction.
The worthy daughter of a noble father! And her mother! O dame Joanna! A sweeter being has rarely graced this miserable world; she was born to die young, she was only made to bloom and fade!" Then, turning to Katharina, she went on: with kindly reproof. "Evil tongues gave me a very false idea of this girl.
"That was our first meeting," concluded Katharina laughingly, laying her hand on that of her betrothed husband, who was leaning against the arm of her chair. "I should like to know why you both thought it best to keep this robbery a secret?" remarked Herr Bernat. "The real reason," explained Count Vavel, "was because the baroness did not want her protégé, Satan Laczi's wife, persecuted."
"Another Bride a second Bride!" And the gaze of the multitude was now, as one eye, fixed on Katharina.
It was Perpetua, quite unable to contain herself, who flung the words in her face. Katharina started as though an asp had stung her and turned round on the woman who had dared to insult her so grossly and so boldly.
She sends you her love, and she invites you to go to her and stay with her, always. But you must keep it quite a secret and tell no one, not even Eudoxia and Katharina; for I do not know myself how we can contrive to get your grandmother's consent. At any rate we must set to work very prudently and cautiously, do you understand?
There stands the hostile power, and I should be greatly surprised if you did not recognize her as a neighbor?" "Recognize her?" said the old man, whose wrath was quickly appeased. "Do we know each other, fair damsel yes or no? It is an open question." "Of course!" cried Katharina, "I have seen you a hundred times from the gnat-tower."
"Don't come any farther, Katharina," he begged. "Remain here, where you will be perfectly safe. Something might happen to you when we meet the enemy." Katharina's smiling reply was: "No, my dear friend. I have paid a very high entrance-fee to see this tragedy, for that you will kill Barthelmy Fervlans I am as certain as that there is a just God in heaven!"
She was delighted to see how happy her niece looked but the lively old woman's eyes were everywhere at once, and when she caught sight of Katharina who had stood still with curiosity, she turned to her with a friendly nod and said to Orion: "Your sister? Or the little niece of whom you used to speak?"
"What do you see?" she asked, when Katharina began to smile. "I see Ludwig and the vice-palatine; they are leaning out of the window, and smoking " "Smoking?" interposed Marie. "Ludwig never smokes." "See for yourself!" Katharina stepped back, and Marie placed her eye to the glass.
