"You are acquainted with Count Karl Lenkenstein?" Adela blushingly acknowledged it. "The whisper goes that I was once admired by him," said Violetta. "And by Count Ammiani." "By count? by milord? by prince? by king?" "By all who have good taste." "Was it jealousy, then, that made Countess Anna hate me?" "She could not or she cannot now." "Because I have not taken possession of her brother."
Besides, I wish her to see my sister and make acquaintance with the Austrianized-Italian such a wonder as is nowhere to be seen out of the Serabiglione and in the Lenkenstein family. Marriage is, indeed, a tremendous transformation. Bianca was once declared to be very like me."
What perchance had stricken Lena? He guessed; and guessed it rightly. A folded scrap of paper signed by the Countess of Lenkenstein was brought to him. It said: "Are you making common cause with the rebels? Reply. One asks who should be told." He wrote: "I am an outcast of the army. I fight as a volunteer with the K. K. troops. Could I abandon them in their peril?"
"Certainly; let us go to Countess Anna of Lenkenstein, if you think fit. I have to rely on your judgement. I quite abjure my own.

"Dearest, I am penitent when I succeed," said Laura. "If that young man has been assisting you, he is irretrievably ruined." "I am truly sorry for him."
The Countess Anna of Lenkenstein offered, on her word of honour as a noblewoman, to make over the quarter of her estate and patrimony to the Countess d'Isorella, if the latter should succeed in thwarting something. Forced to speak plainly, Adela confessed she thought she knew the nature of that something. To preclude its being named, Violetta then diverged from the subject.
Her old nurse prayed for the day of her espousals to come with a quicker step. One night she surprised Count Paul Lenkenstein at Clelia's window. Rinaldo was in the garden below. He moved to the shadow of a cypress, and was seen moving by the old nurse. The lover took the single kiss he had come for, was led through the chamber, and passed unchallenged into the street.
