The good old Kathi stood at the door cooling a gigantic pan of buckwheat polenta, and when she had set down this dish, intended for the haymakers' supper, she brought us each, as our pay, a couple of krapfen, which are oblong dough-cakes fried in butter.
There is many another herb, dried by the careful Kathi between the two Lady Days, Mary's ascension and Mary's birthday, which may usefully be employed for man or beast mullein, a very amulet against every kind of cough and sore-throat; plantain, wormwood, red and white mugwort; nor are the scrapings of hartshorn bought from a mountain huntsman forgotten.
"And a very rich somebody he must be, father," cried Kathi, "for see how he has paid us for our help. Look at this brave ring, how it glistens! It is mine; and Marianne might have had as much if she had chosen. But what do you think she asked him? to come home and get a glass of milk!" "That was well done of my Marianne," said the father, proudly.
Marianne's room opens on the garden, where the emperor drinks his milk and enjoys the privilege of her society." "Have the girls any lovers?" "Of course, your highness; but they have grown so proud that Kathi will have nothing to say to her sweetheart, Valentine; while Marianne, it is said has never encouraged any of the young men in the village. Indeed, they are all afraid of her."
Thus Moidel first appeared, followed by Kathi, bidding her walk slow and not laugh, for a bride who did so could never be a seemly matron. Her niece, consequently suppressing her merriment, again disappeared.
That was more to his taste, done in his own way, at his own time no cramping restrictions to bind and stifle him. He was often lucky and developed a passion for it. He was twenty-three when they returned to New York, Kathi having begged some more money from Vienna. She was already a worn, old witch of a woman, dressed gayly in remnants of past grandeur and always painting her face.
Kathi still held up her ring, and she turned toward the sun until it seemed to be in a blaze. "Look, father," said she, in a low tone, "look." The eyes of the old man were fixed upon the jewel; and strange hopes, with which, until now, he had been unacquainted, stirred his heart. The serpent had found its way into Eden, and it spoke to both in the glitter of this unhappy ring.
Kathi darted from the house, laughing vociferously. The priest advanced, his eyes fixed upon the face of the stranger. All at once, pointing with his finger to Joseph, he cried out: "Conrad, a great honor has befallen your house. Your guest is the emperor!" "The emperor!" exclaimed three voices two in joyous notes, the third with the cry of despair.
"Do not hesitate so. Let me sleep in your daughters' room, and I will give you a handful of gold for my lodging." Kathi gave a cry of delight, and going close to her father, she whispered, "Father, you will not refuse! Think a handful of gold! We will be the richest farmers in the village! There are two of us there can be no danger." "Well!" asked Joseph, impatiently, "have you decided?
When Captain Ruppert Heyderich, of a prosperous Viennese family, had, in a burst of passionate chivalry, married Kathi Mayer, end coryphee on the second row, he had deserted the army, his country and his world and fled to America.
