Ah, you wished to leave me secretly you did not wish me to suspect your intended departure. You were mistaken, Ranuzi. You will remain in Berlin, but you will never go to her again. I will prevent that."
These same prophets have high and mighty protectors in Berlin; the police will not dare to keep them long under arrest. The Princess Amelia will demand her fortune-teller." "Vraiment, monsieur le comte," said the Frenchman, "you seem extraordinarily well acquainted with all these intrigues?" "I observe closely," said Ranuzi, with a meaning smile. "I am very silent therefore hear a great deal."
Ranuzi wished to quiet every suspicion by his tenderness she must not dream that this was their last meeting, and that he intended leaving Berlin this night, perhaps forever. Marietta wished to chain him to her side and prevent his departure. Time flew by amid gay laughter and tender jests, and at length Marietta heard the house-door open and hurried steps mounting the stairway.
A cavalier must keep his promise with a lady, at least till he knows she is ardently in love with him." He gave his hand to the duke, and as he left the room he hummed a light French chanson. Ranuzi looked after him with a long, frowning glance. "Poor fool," murmured he, "he believes he plays his part so well that he deceives even me.
She remembered with scornful agitation those happy days of their new-found youthful love; she repeated the ardent oaths of everlasting faith and love which Ranuzi had voluntarily offered; she remembered how she had warned him, how she had declared that she would revenge his treachery and inconstancy upon him; how indolently, how carelessly he had laughed, and called her his tigress, his anaconda.
If I believed in the power of prayer, I would lie upon my knees night and day, and pray for God's blessing upon your effort. As it is, I can only follow you with my thoughts and hopes. Farewell!" "Your royal highness sends no reply to these lines, written with Trenck's heart's blood?" Amelia took the pen and wrote a few hasty lines upon the paper, which she handed Ranuzi.
"First, all Europe must be in a condition to call him to account," said Ranuzi, laughing; "and that is certainly not the case at present, I am sorry to say."
She hastened back to Ranuzi, but she no longer smiled she no longer approached him with open arms but she advanced toward him with flashing eyes, with her arms folded haughtily across her breast, and her countenance pale with passion. "Ranuzi, the hour of revenge has come! You have most shamefully betrayed and deceived me you have mocked my love you have trodden my heart under foot.
As soon as you reach Magdeburg go to him, and he will make other friends and allies known to you." "Can I make use of this address, and write under it to my friend Kimsky?" said Ranuzi. "Yes, without danger. To-day I will find means to inform him that he may expect this letter. Here is gold, two hundred ducats, all that I have at present.
"For a poor prisoner, who, far from the world, far from the haunts of men, languishes in wretchedness and chains whom not only men but God has forgotten, for He will not even send His minister Death to release him. I cannot, I dare not say more it is not my secret, and I have sworn to disclose it to but one person." "And this person " "Is the Princess Amelia of Prussia," said Ranuzi.
