You will not leave me to-day, as you always do, to go to your conference with the Catholic priest." "I would not, Marietta, but I must," said Ranuzi. "Believe me, my dear child, if I followed the dictates of my heart, I would never leave this room, which in my thoughts I always call my paradise, and in which I enjoy my only bright and happy moments. But what would you have, my angel?
Only then might we hope to belong to each other. I waited and was silent." "You waited and were silent till you forgot me," said Ranuzi, playing carelessly with her long, soft curls; "and, having forgotten me, you discovered that Signer Taliazuchi was a tolerably pretty fellow, whom it was quite possible to love."
Count Ranuzi was alone in his apartments. He sat at his writing-table reading over the two letters he had just written; a triumphant smile was upon his lip as he finished. "It will succeed," murmured he, softly; "we will take Magdeburg without a blow, and thus deprive the King of Prussia of his most valuable fortress.
"To whom have you sworn?" said the princess, sternly. "Who are you? what do you ask of me?" "I am Count Ranuzi, Austrian captain and prisoner of war. I implore you, noble princess, to have mercy upon a poor, helpless prisoner, consumed with grief and despair. God and the world have forsaken him, but he has one protecting angel in whom he trusts, to whom he prays and her name is Amelia!
In order to put down the government, you must work upon the people. You might have been forgiven for this attempt, but Giurgenow never!" "You believe, then, that he is manoeuvring here, in Berlin, in the interest of his government?" said Belleville, amazed. Ranuzi laughed heartily. "That is a fine and diplomatic mode of expressing the thing!" said he.
Arrived at the place of rendezvous, he sprang lightly from the saddle and fastened his horse to a tree, then drew near Baron Marshal, who, with Ranuzi, was just descending from the carriage. "No man could be more prudent than yourself, sir," said he, laughing, "to come to a rendezvous in a carriage; truly, that is a wise and, I think on this occasion, well-grounded precaution."
I knew that we were forever separated, could never belong to each other, so I prayed to God to lend swift wings to time, that we might become independent and free, I as a singer and you as my honored confessor." Ranuzi laughed merrily. "But fate was unpropitious," said he.
"Tell me what I can do, and it is done," said she resolutely; "there is nothing I will not undertake and dare for you." Ranuzi took her small head in his hands and gazed long and smilingly into her glowing face. "Are you sure of yourself?" said he. "I am sure. Tell me, Carlo, what I must do, and it is done." "And if it is dangerous, Marietta?" "I know but one danger." "What is that?"
When this is exhausted, turn again to me and I will again supply you." Ranuzi took the gold and said, smilingly, "This is the magic means by which we will break his chains." Amelia took a costly diamond pin, which lay upon the table, and gave it to Ranuzi. She pointed to the paper marked with blood, which she still held in her hand.
She carefully closed the door of the room in which Ranuzi sat, and then examined the paper. After reading it, she drew her note-book from her pocket, and hastily tearing out a leaf, she wrote upon it with a pencil. "Lose no time, if you do not wish him to escape. He has received to-day, through the agency of Madame du Trouffle, the necessary passport and permission to go to Magdeburg.
