"Things were being carried on in this sort of way when, one morning in the beginning of June, Margot and Meeta and Jacques went higher up the hill towards the waterfall to gather sweet herbs and flowers to strew upon the linen that was spread on the sward before the cottage door.
Four or five such letters were received by Meeta, each full of her lover himself; but they came at lengthening intervals, and during the third year she received from him only messages sent through his father, though every message still conveyed a promise to write soon.
I hope they'll teach him in Germany to take better care of his money!" The parcel contained a very plain locket, with one of Ernest's dark curls inclosed in it. Plain as it was, it seemed to Meeta, as it probably had seemed to Ernest, a magnificent present; yet she valued more the few simple words written on the paper which enveloped it: "For Meeta, my promised wife."
Even I dare not let her see that she is understood by me, lest I should wound her delicate and generous nature." There was a pause, and then Mr. Schwartz said, hesitatingly, "If it be as you think, Meeta is a noble being; but " "If it be!" interrupted Mrs. Schwartz, with warmth. "Can you doubt it?
Ernest gave her a more cordial glance and pressure of the hand than she had yet received from him; told his father that he would only snatch an hour's sleep and be with him again, and left the room. "Go with him, Meeta; you must have much to say." "Nothing that we cannot say as well to-morrow.
"'I have a proposal to make, said the pastor; 'we will go back and dine, and in the evening we will all come up and sup together; the good man shall find us feasting when he comes home. "'Agreed, cried the count and countess; 'you must set the house in order, and we will send up the entertainment, she added, speaking to Meeta and Jacques; 'and we will be with you in a few hours.
"All that Margot could say to be understood was: "'Run, run, to poor Meeta they will kill her; the man will kill her, and Wolf is not there. "Jacques repeated her words to the pastor. "'I have it, Jacques, replied the good man; 'these vagrants are after the treasure; maybe there are others in the cottage; put the child down, my boy, leave her to walk by the lady, and let us all run forward.
"When Martin heard of the death of his sister, and the forlorn state of the orphan, he set himself to go to Vienne; it was winter-time, and he rode to the place on a little mountain pony which he had; but he walked back nearly the whole way, having set Meeta, with her bundle, on the horse.
"'That is very kind of you, replied Meeta, 'but I do not see what luck it is to him, for the money is not his, and he could not think of spending it: it is all put by in some safe place in the house. "'Very good, very right, answered Heister. 'No, no! Martin could never have such a thought. But where in the world can you find a place in the house safe enough for so many pieces?
"They were both pleased; Meeta loved the thoughts of any new employment, and Monique promised her advice and assistance. Even Jacques, when he came in, said he thought he might help also in drawing water and spreading the linen on the grass. "'And I, said little Margot, 'can gather the flowers to lay upon the things can't I, Ella?
