Kur-Sachsen's objects in the adventure were of the earth, earthy; but on George's part it was pure adoration of Pragmatic Sanction, anxiety for the Keystone of Nature, and lest Chaos come again. In comparison with such transcendent divings, what is a little Secret-Service money! The Count Lynar of this adventure, who had well-nigh done such a feat in Diplomacy, may turn up transiently again.
We have succeeded in a great enterprise; a mighty work has been completed by us and our allies in the cloister of Zeven. This has been achieved by our ambassador, the pious Duke of Lynar, and we will triumph in a glittering and bloodless victory.
He will know it, he will understand why his Anna has chosen this particular day, and he will thank me with one of those proud and glowing glances which always made my heart tremulous with overpowering happiness. Oh, my Lynar, what a blessed moment will be that when I see you again!" A slight knock at the door interrupted the imaginings of the princess.
But you must know, Julia, that when I stood with this man at the altar, and was compelled to become his wife, I thought only of him I loved; I vowed eternal love only to Lynar, and when the prince folded me in his arms as his wife, then was my God gracious to me, and in a happy deception it seemed to me that it was my lover who held me in his arms I thought only of him and breathed only his name, and loved him, kissed him, and became his wife, although he was far, alas, so immeasurably far from me!
"Yes, at length!" murmured Anna, looking down upon him with a celestial smile. Julia stood at a distance, contemplating them with thoughtful glances. "They should be happy," she murmured low, and then asked aloud: "Count Lynar, did you receive my letter?" "I did receive it," said the count, "and may God reward you for the sacrifice you are so generously disposed to make for us!
Count Lynar, an esteemed Official of his, who lives in those neighborhoods; Danish Viceroy in Oldenburg, much concerned with the Scriptures, the Sacred Languages and other seraphic studies, and a changed man since we saw him last in the Petersburg regions, making love to Mrs. Anton Ulrich long ago!
On Saturday, in the afternoon, I went with Rochow and Lynar to Rüdesheim, hired a boat there, rowed out on the Rhine, and swam in the moonlight, nothing but nose and eyes over the tepid water, as far as the Mouse Tower near Bingen, where the wicked bishop met his death.
Then I drank some very nice wine, and sat for a long time smoking, with Lynar, on the balcony, the Rhine beneath us. My little Testament and the starry firmament caused our conversation to turn on Christian topics, and I hammered for a long time at the Rousseau-like chastity of his soul, with no other effect than to cause him to remain silent.
I feel myself much moved and exhausted, and have also to prepare some secret dispatches for Count Lynar to take with him in his journey." "Count Lynar is, then, to leave us?" quickly asked the prince, in an evidently more friendly tone.
The dark suspicion vanished from her mind; Anna breathed freer, and laid her hand upon her heart as if she would restrain its violent beating. The letter of Lynar slightly rustled under her hand.
