His object in coming to England, he assured me honestly, was to study certain editions of Tibullus in the British Museum. When he deigned to speak of Sarkeld, it was to say that Prince Hermann was frequently there. I gave him no chance to be sly, though he pushed for it, at a question of the Princess Ottilia's health. The funeral pace of the block of cabs and omnibuses engrossed his attention.
Her estimation of the princess was soundly based. She discerned exactly the nature of Ottilia's entanglement, and her peril. She and my aunt Dorothy passed the afternoon with Ottilia, while I crossed the head of the street, looking down at the one house, where the princess was virtually imprisoned, either by her father's express injunction or her own discretion.
The giant did not stir. But others had heard. A lady stepped forward. 'Dear Mr. Harry Richmond! Then you are better? We had most alarming news of you. I bowed to the Frau von Dittmarsch, anciently Miss Sibley. 'The princess? 'She is here. Frau von Dittmarsch clasped Miss Goodwin's hand. I was touching Ottilia's. A veil partly swathed her face. She trembled: the breeze robbed me of her voice.
There's your sunshade for instance, it is black outside and white inside." "Sophist!" "Listen to me, sweetheart, tell me in your own way the thoughts which are in your heart; don't talk like Ottilia's books. Don't let your head run away with you; be yourself again, my sweet, darling little wife." "Yours, your property, bought with your labour."
Ottilia's condescension had done her no good. 'Turn to the right, that's your path; on. She seemed to speak in this style, much as she made her touch of the reins understood by her ponies. 'I 'll take every care of the princess, she said. Her conceit was unbounded. I revelled in contemptuous laughter at her assumption of the post of leader with Ottilia.
That line of Ottilia's writing, 'Violets are over, read by me in view of the root-mountain of the Royal House of Princes, scoffed at me insufferably whenever my father showed me these openings of his mind, until I was dragged down to think almost that I had not loved the woman and noble soul, but only the glorified princess the carved gilt frame instead of the divine portrait! a shameful acrid suspicion, ransacking my conscience with the thrusting in of a foul torch here and there.
Would such denial have appeared without Ottilia's sanction? My father proved that I was harnessed to him; there was no stopping, no time for grieving. Pace was his specific. He dragged me the round of the voters; he gave dinners at the inn of true Liberals, and ate of them contentedly; he delivered speeches incessantly.
Ottilia's eyelids were set blinking by one look aloft. Rain and lightning filled heaven and earth. 'Direct us, you! she said to me gently. The natural proposal was to despatch her giant by the direct way down the lake to fetch a carriage from the stables, or matting from the boathouse. I mentioned it, but did not press it. She meditated an instant. 'I believe I may stay with my beloved?
To dress in low neck dresses for charitable purposes and leave the children at home, neglected! I believe that my interests are higher than Ottilia's, when I want strong and healthy children, who will succeed where we have failed. But Latin won't help them! Goodbye, Gurli! I have to go back on board. Are you coming?" But she remained sitting on the stone and made no answer.
At an hotel in Vienna, upon the close of the aristocratic season there, he renewed an acquaintance with a Russian lady, Countess Kornikoff, and he and I parted. She disliked the Margravine of Rippau, who was in Vienna, and did not recognize us. I heard that it was the Margravine who had despatched Prince Hermann to England as soon as she discovered Ottilia's flight thither.
