Sanchia's fancy, uplifted by her contentment, played with the play, and suggested flights undreamed of for many a year. She sat by Melusine and her husband, and Mr. Worthington watched her in the long intervals of his duty. Charming indeed, and most high-bred: now where did old Welbore Percival, whom he met daily in Throgmorton Street, fetch up such a strain of blood?
From the letter to Michaelsen we should imagine that he went to Halle as soon as possible; the only authentic document which gives us any date is a letter from Count Flemming, a court functionary at Dresden, to Melusine von Schulenburg, daughter of George I's mistress the Duchess of Kendal, who in 1733 married Lord Chesterfield. Melusine was a pupil of Handel in London.
Lady Maria's adoption charming, charming!" A right instinct sent him tiptoe over his lawn, another made him doff his mortarboard. "Mrs. Scales, we begin. The hunt is up. Poesy calls, 'Follow, follow, follow! Your sister, I think?" Sanchia played the rogue. "Oh, Mr. Worthington, have you forgotten already? Lady Maria explained me half-an-hour-ago. Must Melusine introduce me again?"
Then, as is notorious, Dame Melusine, as always hand in glove with Ayrart de Montors, held conference with the bishop who inspected the cardinals' dinner before it was carried into the apartments where these prelates were imprisoned together until, in edifying seclusion from all worldly influences, they should have prayerfully selected the next Pope.
Melusine only shrugged, and laughed afterward, and the man and the woman turned toward Brunbelois. At times a shaft of sunlight would fall on her pale hair and convert it into silver, as these two went through the high woods that had never yet been felled or ordered.
Ingram, with a stretched smile, was volubly explaining. "I've been in London a week to-day's the first glimpse of the sun I've had. I do think they might make better arrangements for a man home from Africa. I met your mother last night at a play. She told me that I might see you here." He turned, without effrontery, to greet Melusine. "Ages since we have met. Ah, Scales, how are you?"
All around us were happy faces, and joyous voices welcoming us home the home to which I had so long been dead; and it was mine now, and more besides and then I awoke with a start and looked around me. It was all so real. "Tush!" I exclaimed, "have I slipped back into the days of enchantment and the fay Melusine?"
"Oh, Gerald," faltered Melusine, "it's dreadful but what can she do?" "Pon my soul, I'd take Morosov the Polish party what's-his-name first. I would indeed on the whole." There was nothing to say. Melusine knew that could not be. Lady Maria, however, who never made a fuss over spilt milk, lost no time in ladling up what might be possible.
This period produced "Walpurgis Night," the first of the "Songs without Words," the great symphony in A major, and the "Melusine" overture. He is now about to enter on the epoch which puts to the fullest test the varied resources of his genius. To Moscheles he writes, in answer to his old teacher's warm praise: "Your praise is better than three orders of nobility."
Henrietta Heidenreich has composed a number of violin pieces, and Mathilde Heim-Brehm has done the same. The Countess Stephanie Vrabely Wurmbrand wrote a violin sonata, also several piano works and incidental music to "Die Schöne Melusine." In the field of piano music, Emilie Belleville-Oury is worthy of mention. Born at Munich in 1808, she made that city her residence until her death in 1880.
