Arriving at the foot of the ladder Polikey looked around him, and seeing no one about, he quickly ascended to the garret. Meanwhile the girl had reached her mistress's house. "What does it mean that Polikey does not come?" said the noblewoman impatiently. "Where can he be? Why does he not come at once?" Aksiutka flew again to his house and demanded to see Polikey.
The afflicted youth apologised in his turns, but asserted, "it was true that the king said Peg-a-Ramsay was some far-off sort of noblewoman; and that he had taken a great interest in the match, and had run about like an old gander, cackling about Peggie ever since he had seen her in hose and doublet and no wonder," added poor Vin, with a deep sigh.

"Who are you?" she began. "A clerk in the chancellery, an upstart. And yet you dare to address a noblewoman with violence.
Father Ambrose is the searcher, and he and I will put our wise old heads together in consultation over them before entrusting them to the perusal of that impetuous young noblewoman, the present Countess von Sayn." The impetuous person referred to brought down her hand with a peremptory impact upon the table, and exclaimed emphatically: "My Lord Archbishop, I shall read those letters to-morrow."
