Her smile of pleasure on entering the room one morning, and seeing me dressed and sitting in a grand-fatherly chair by the breezy window, was like a salutation of returning health. My father made another stand against the usurper of his privileges; he refused to go out. 'Then must I go, said Lieschen, 'for two are not allowed here.
Her mother, on being questioned, told the same story adding, however, that about seventeen months before, she had fancied that Lieschen was a little disposed to favor Franz Kerkel, their shopman; but on being spoken to on the subject with some seriousness, and warned of the distance between them, she had laughed heartily at the idea, and since then had treated Franz with so much indifference that only a week ago she had drawn from her mother a reproof on the subject.
My landlady brought a young girl up to my room, and introduced her under the name of Lieschen, saying that she had for a long time been interested in me, and had been diligent in calling to inquire for news of my condition.
The princess looked on her kindly, though with suspense in the expression. 'She told me of my approaching visitor, I said. 'Oh! not told! Lieschen burst out. 'Did you, the princess questioned her, and murmured to me, 'These children cannot speak falsehoods, they shone miserably under the burden of uprightness 'did you make sure that I should come? Lieschen thought she supposed. But why?

His lack of discernment in treating the princess to it ruined my patience. The sisters Aennchen and Lieschen presented themselves a few minutes before his departure. Lieschen dropped at her feet. 'My child, said the princess, quite maternally, 'could you be quit of your service with the Mahrlens for two weeks, think you, to do duty here?
Her little Ann coming in with chocolate and strips of fine white bread to dip in it stopped my efforts to explain the distinction between an assassination and a duel. I noticed then the likeness of Aennchen to Lieschen. 'She has a sister here, said Ottilia; 'and let her bring Lieschen to visit me here this afternoon. Aennchen, with a blush, murmured, that she heard and would obey.
We had retained Lieschen to carry our modest baggage to the post-house, and having deposited it at the side of the road just where the coach stopped, she took her leave, apparently more than satisfied with the small sum of money I gave her, and civilly wishing us a pleasant journey. But though less gruff, she was quite as impassive as the landlord.
I peeped in there was no one there, but from an inner room we heard the voice of the landlady hushing her baby to sleep. "Come to the fire, Nora," I said. Just then Reggie came clattering downstairs, followed by Lieschen, the taciturn "maid of the inn."
"Give it to me, Lieschen," cried Thusnelda, impatiently, her face beaming with satisfaction, however, when she opened the box. "Now, duchess, that is what I call a surprise, and the duke shall be, as he ever has been, my favorite. If he does sometimes play rude tricks, he makes it all right again, in a very generous and princely manner.
