"The musician," said the monarch, as if some memory was awakened in his mind. "A modest fellow, whose reliability my sister praised. And now, my vigorous friend, a prosperous journey! Your daughter, whom the favour of Heaven has so richly endowed with beautiful gifts, has found, I have heard, a maternal guardian in the Marquise de Leria.
She had also often been the guest of her uncle Wolfgang Lorberer, who stood at the head of the community at Landshut. It had gratified her to boast of these distinguished blood relations. She had then been asked whether she could consent to leave her father for a time to go into the country with the old Marquise de Leria, whom she knew, and who was charmed with the beauty of her singing.
Then do mythologies, and genealogies, and geographical definitions, and the traditions that concern kings and heroes, ripen into chronicles that commemorate the convulsions or the progress of a nation. He is sometimes called of Leria, which seems his birthplace sometimes of Athens, where he resided thirty years, and to which state his history refers.
Malfalconnet had received no confidence either from the Emperor or any male member of the court, yet he knew all, for, though the Marquise de Leria well deserved the reputation of secrecy, she did not keep her tongue sufficiently in check while talking with her gay countryman.

The marquise then angrily declared that a Marquise de Leria could accept such a favour without a blush solely from his Majesty.
While speaking, she beckoned to the Marquise de Leria, her oldest lady in waiting, and, as the latter bent her aged back to adjust the pillows, the Queen whispered to her to detain the conductor of the orchestra and Sir Wolf Hartschwert.
But we wish to add to words another token of appreciation, a token of more lasting duration. Do us the favour, Marquise de Leria, to conduct this noble artist to the upper rooms, that she may receive what we intended for her."
Of course, a chair must be placed for the lady. Have the larger table set in another room, baron, and, for ought I care, serve with all twenty courses and a dessert. Old Marquise de Leria will remain here. She will occupy Queen Mary's seat at my side. On account of the singer, I mean. Besides, it will please the marquise's vanity." His eyes sparkled with youthful fire as he gave these orders.
