She flushed suddenly, and started away from him, as if to put the piano between them and flee towards the door. He looked at her narrowly, and the harsh lines came back to his face. "A pest on these singers!" he muttered under his breath, "They are all alike they want coddling. She thinks perhaps she is a Patti and is planning for her salary already. Potztausend! Bewahre!"
The Violinist seemed to be dreaming; he held the Rhine wine in his hand, gazing down into its liquid gold as if a vision lay at the bottom of the glass. "Velasco!" The Musician half raised his lids and then lowered them again. "Are you asleep, Velasco?" "Potztausend no! I hear what you say! You speak of musicians and swine in the same breath. It is true.
Potztausend! Suppose that the soul went out and would not come back. That would be a bad business. Who is to take the risk?" "But, Fritz," the Professor cried, very much startled by this view of the matter, "I had relied upon your assistance in the attempt. Surely you will not desert me. Consider the honour and glory." "Consider the fiddlesticks!" the student cried angrily.
"Well now?" cried Velasco, "Was I clumsy this morning? Was anything the matter? Potztausend! why didn't you tell me?" His eyes gleamed suddenly under his brows and he twirled his fingers, toying with them nervously. "Gott Kapellmeister! Why didn't you tell me at once?"
Presently the key turned in the lock of the door; he heard heavy footsteps and the voice of the man who had said to his father, "You have a little mad dog; muzzle him!" The voice said, "Ay, ay, you have called me a fool many times. Now you shall see what I have gotten for two hundred dirty florins. Potztausend! never did you do such a stroke of work."
Ken paused again. 'Don't do it, Ken, broke in Roy. 'I don't know your father, but I'm mighty sure he wouldn't stick for this kind of blackmail. Henkel swung round on him in a fury. 'Potztausend! Keep silence, fool! Your own life as well as two others depends upon Carrington's answer. 'I wouldn't give sixpence for my life if I had to keep it on terms like those, retorted Roy.
"Na na!" he cried, "Was that F, I ask you? You bellow like bulls! Again again, I tell you! On the D and approach the note softly. "Hist-st! Pianissimo!" He stamped his foot in vexation and the baton struck the desk sharply: "Again the sopranos alone! Hist! Piano piano I say! Potztausend!" The chorus glanced at one another sheepishly and a flush crept over the faces of the sopranos.
Ritter gave a sharp exclamation and caught the little figure in his arms. "She has fainted!" he cried, "Potztausend, what a brute I was!" He laid her back on the pillow and stood staring down at her, breathing heavily and clenching his hands. "If I were Velasco!" he muttered, "Ah Gott I am mad! Marta Marta!"
Presently the key turned in the lock of the door, he heard heavy footsteps and the voice of the man who had said to his father, "You have a little mad dog; muzzle him!" The voice said, "Ay, ay, you have called me a fool many times. Now you shall see what I have gotten for two hundred dirty florins. Potztausend! never did you do such a stroke of work."
"Killaloo boys, follow your captain!" and with a shrill hurray, that sounded above the tremendous fire from the fort, we sprung upon the steep; Bowser with the brave Ninety-ninth, and the bold Potztausend, keeping well up with us.
