From this peaceful security they were startled early in the morning by the appalling news of the calamity which had fallen on them. Incredulous at first, as well they might be, and incapable of believing in a ruin so unexpected and so overwhelming, they imagined some mistake, asserting that Lieschen was in her own room.
Why did she think and suppose? What made her anticipate the princess's arrival? This inveterate why communicated its terrors to Aennchen, upon whom the princess turned scrutinizing eyes, saying, 'You write of me to your sister? 'Yes, princess. 'And she to you? Lieschen answered: 'Forgive me, your Highness, dearest lady! 'You offered yourself here unasked? 'Yes, princess.
Lieschen, when she next appeared in the character of nurse, met my inquiries by supplicating me to imitate her sister's generous mistress, and be merciful. She remarked by-and-by, of her own accord: 'Princess Ottilia does not regret that she had us educated.
At the same moment, I heard the door of my landlady's room open. Half a minute's dead silence followed, and then Balder fell back into my room like one stunned. "Who is that girl that came out of the next room?" he asked breathlessly. "Fräulein Lieschen, of course, the daughter of my landlady, to whom you were kind enough to deliver a lecture in the middle of the night "
His mother's frantic protestations of her son's innocence her assertions that Franz loved Lieschen more than his own soul only served to envelop her in the silent accusation of being an accomplice, or at least of being an accessory after the fact. I cannot say why it was, but I did not share the universal belief. The logic seemed to me forced; the evidence trivial.

Lehfeldt's shop stood not many yards from the archway. Now, as in Nuremberg no one was abroad after ten o'clock, except a few loungers at the cafes and beer-houses, and these were only to be met inside the town, not outside it, Lieschen ran extremely little risk of being observed in her rapid transit from her father's to her lover's house.
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?
Another letter was brought into the room by Lieschen. 'For Aunt Lisbeth, said Margarita, reading the address. 'Who can it be from? 'She does not stand pressing about your letters, said the woman; and informed Margarita of the foregoing missive. 'You say she drew an arrow from it? said Margarita, with burning face.
Poor Lieschen! her pretty, playful ways her opening prospects, as the only daughter of parents so well to do and so kind her youth and abounding life these were detailed with impassioned fervor by friends, and repeated by strangers who caught the tone of friends, as if they, too, had known and loved her.
