Again she felt she was being awakened from a dream. "I've met quite a lot of interesting people since I saw you last," he said. "At least, they interested me because they all knew you." "Knew me?" "Knew you and that old scound the excellent Fritzing. There's an extremely pleasant policeman, for instance, in Kunitz " "Oh," said Priscilla, starting and turning red.
But the cobbles of Kunitz are very different from those smooth places in the park. All who bicycle round Kunitz know them as trying to the most skilful. Naturally, then, the fugitives advanced very slowly, Fritzing's heart in his mouth each time they passed a brightly-lit shop or a person who looked at them.
Her heart began to beat faster; a swift fear that Kunitz was at her heels seized her; she jumped up and ran out. Fritzing was standing at the foot of the stairs. "Come down, ma'am," he said; "I must speak to you at once." "What's the matter?" asked Priscilla, getting down the steep little stairs as quickly as was possible without tumbling.
She was the statue come to life, the cool perfection kissed by expectation into a bewitching living woman. I doubt whether Fritzing had ever noticed her beauty while at Kunitz. He had seen her every day from childhood on, and it is probable that his attention being always riveted on her soul he had never really known when her body left off being lanky and freckled.
Hemans those lessons in English literature, meant by the authorities to be as innocuous to her as to her sisters, had opened her eyes in a way nothing else could have done to the width of the world and the littleness of Kunitz.
It was when their steps had fallen steadily together for several turns and the church clock, just as she was noticing this, had struck three. Not for this, to tramp up and down their rooms all night, not for this had they left Kunitz.
"Oh," sighed Priscilla, laying her distracted head against the cushions and shutting her eyes, "who are they?" "Who are they? Who are the Levisohns? But dearest Fräulein if you know Kunitz you must know the Levisohns. Why, the Levisohns are Kunitz. They are more important far than the Grand Duke. They lend to it, and they lead it.
"Why?" asked Priscilla, in great surprise. "It's not keeping the day holy," said Tussie, blushing. "How funny," said Priscilla. "Oh, I don't know." "Why," said Priscilla, "in Kun " but she pulled herself up just as she was about to give him a description of the varied nature of Sunday afternoons in Kunitz.
I I heard something a rumour." "Ah, something feigned again, no doubt. Well, it will be a great match for him. You know she is lady-in-waiting to the Princess Priscilla, the one who is so popular and has such red hair? The Countess has an easy life. The other two Princesses have given their ladies a world of trouble, but Priscilla oh, she is a model. Kunitz is indeed proud of her.
No fairer sight is to be seen than the glimpse of these grey walls and turrets rising out of a cloud of blossom to be had by him who shall stand in the market place of Kunitz and look eastward up the narrow street on a May morning; and if he who gazes is a dreamer he could easily imagine that where the setting of life is so lovely its days must of necessity be each like a jewel, of perfect brightness and beauty.
