"This is a most precious jewel which you have given me let us exchange." Ranuzi fell upon his knees and kissed her hand as ho took the pin. "And now, sir, go. My maid is a salaried spy, and a longer interview would make you suspected. You would be watched, and all discovered. Go!
"I know of this," said Ranuzi; "but I know also that the fortune of battles is inconstant, otherwise we would not now be here." "It is to be hoped we will not be here long," said Giurgenow, impatiently. "Does it not lie in our power to go at once? What think you? Have we not our swords? They have not dared to take them from us!
Ranuzi must not leave Berlin, and when the king's answer is received, he must be found here." "You shall find him with me," said she; "and if not, I shall at least be able to tell you where he is. Fear nothing; he shall not escape! I am his guard! When you receive the reply of the king, have the goodness to inform me. Quoique cette femme puisse vous dire, gardez-vous bien d'y ajouter foi.
He has taken part as actor, and has played the role of Voltaire's Enfant Prodigue. It is further written, that he has now left the comic stage and commenced the graver game of arms." "He might accidentally change these roles," said Belleville, gayly, "and play the Enfant Prodigue when he should play the hero. In which would he be the greater, do you know, Ranuzi?"
These words had occupied the thoughts of this vain coquette during the whole night; she was convinced that Ranuzi, ravished by her beauty, wished to make her a declaration, and she had been hesitating whether to reject or encourage him. As he advanced so gracefully and smilingly to meet her, she resolved to encourage him and make him forget the mockery of yesterday.
She thought of the day in which she had first seen Ranuzi in Berlin; how their hearts had found each other, and the old love, like a radiant Phoenix, had risen from the ashes of the past, to open heaven or hell to them both.
Louise found that his languishing and at the same time glowing eyes were very beautiful, and she was entirely ready to be gracious, although she did not know the offence. "Stand up, count," said she, "and let us talk reasonably together. What have you done, and for what must I forgive you?" "You annihilate me with your magnanimity," sighed Ranuzi.
During the war there were no operas given in Berlin, and Marietta was entirely unoccupied; for some time she had been giving singing lessons perhaps for distraction, perhaps to increase her income; she had, however, carefully preserved this secret from Ranuzi in the unselfishness of her love she did not wish him to know that she had need of gold, lest he might offer her assistance.
Possibly Ranuzi read this in her glance, but he did not regard it; he had attained his aim the interview which he desired. "Madame," said he, "I come to make honorable amends, and to plead at your feet for pardon." He bowed on one knee, and looked up beseechingly.
I despise him; I know nothing of him; I am even willing that he should know I adore you." "Oh woman, woman!" said Ranuzi, laughing; "how treacherous, how dangerous you are!
