Oertel was given a German passport by Richter, the Gestapo district chief at Bischofswerda on what was then the Czechoslovak-German frontier. "You will proceed to Prague," Richter instructed him, "and lose yourself in the city. As soon as it is safe, go to Langenau near Boehmisch-Leipa and report to Frau Anna Suchy. She will give you further instructions." Oertel nodded.
He rather wearied me, for I wanted to listen to the music, but he was determined not to see that, and chattered so that more than once Charlotte Benson turned impatiently and begged us not to talk. Once Mr. Langenau himself turned and looked at us, but Kilian only paused, and then went on again.
"As to that, I thought we had a music-teacher of our own: can't your German be made of any practical account? Or is he only to be looked at and revered for his great powers?" "I didn't engage Mr. Langenau to play for us to dance," said Sophie. "Nor to lounge about the parlor every evening either," muttered Kilian, pushing away his cup of coffee. "Now, Mr.
Mr. Langenau happened to be on the side by me: once when the carriage had leaned suddenly, he had put his hand upon it, and had touched, without intending it, my arm. "I beg your pardon," he had said, and that was all he had said to me; and I had felt very grateful that Benny had been so inclined to talk.
I do not think I was very different from other girls of seventeen, and I cannot blame myself very much that I spent all these days in a dream of bliss and folly; how could it have been otherwise, situated exactly as we were? This is the way our days were passed. Mr. Langenau was better, but still not able to leave his room.
While we were waiting for the opening of the gate, the tutor walked on toward the house with Benny. As we passed them, Benny called out, "Stop, Uncle Kilian, stop, and take me in." Benny never was denied anything, so we stopped and Mr. Langenau lifted him up in front of us. He bowed without speaking, and Benny was the orator of the occasion.
He sought no interview with me, was kind and silent, but his eye was never off me. I think he watched his opportunity for saying what he had to say to Mr. Langenau, but such an opportunity seemed destined not to come. Mr. Langenau was ill the day after Richard came home quite ill enough to cause alarm. He had a high fever, and the Doctor even seemed uneasy, and prescribed the profoundest quiet.
"But it will be so much better for all to undertake it, if one does. Suppose they try and see how it will work, either before or after our lesson." "De tout mon coeur," said Mr. Langenau, as if, however, his coeur had very little interest in the matter. "Well, about the hour?" said Charlotte, the woman of business; "we haven't settled that after all our talking."
Richard silently handed me out; if I had been thinking about him I should have been frightened at the expression of his face, but I was not: I was only thinking that we were at home, and that I was going to have the happiness of meeting Mr. Langenau.
"If you're cold, of course," he said, letting me pass and following me, and added, with a shade of anxiety, "Why didn't you tell me before? I never thought of it, and you have no shawl." I felt ashamed of myself as I led the way up the piazza steps. In the hall, which was quite light, they were all standing, and Mr. Langenau was in the group. They were petitioning him for music.
