I have no doubt that under your guidance he will become, in time, a most excellent farmer, but to the education of a future landed proprietor, something more than that is needed. Willibald has outgrown home instructors and should be sent away now." "Sent a ?" Frau Regine laid down knife and fork in unbounded astonishment.
His friend Dubuche was going to marry Mademoiselle Regine Margaillan, the daughter of the owner of La Richaudiere. It was an intricate story, the details of which surprised and amused him exceedingly.
"She had what?" asked the mother, who could not believe she heard aright. The young heir raised his head and looked at her; his face wore a new and singular expression. "She had the right of it, mother. It is true you have always treated me like a school-boy, so how could I defend myself against such an accusation?" "Boy, I believe you have lost your senses," said Frau Regine.
At one time it looked as if they would be more closely allied, for their parents had planned a marriage between Lieutenant Falkenried, as he was then, and Regine Wallmoden. The young couple seemed to understand one another fully, and everything stood on the happiest footing, when an event occurred which put an abrupt termination to all their plans.
Herbert was made rather nervous during their conversation, for Regine did not think it necessary to refrain from brusque questioning or candid comment, and her brother was frequently embarrassed and annoyed by both, but he had learned from experience the uselessness of striving to check her open speech, so gave himself up to the inevitable with a sigh.
She brought a young man with her who was to be her future husband, she declared, and as he declared so too, with great positiveness, there was nothing left me but to say, yes and Amen." "What's that? Toni engaged again?" exclaimed Frau Regine in surprise. "Yes, this time she did it all herself. I knew nothing of it.
That gives me no anxiety; my fears are in another direction." "Regine told me you and he understood one another at last," remarked Wallmoden, with a glance at his friend's dark, gloomy face.
Frau Regine shrugged her shoulders over the inexperience of this girl whose eyes she might not open; but she was diplomatic enough to let the subject drop for the present and bide her time. Willibald, accustomed to confide in his mother, had told her of his meeting with Fräulein Volkmar, and how he had enacted the part of porter at her suggestion.
Toni and I have both remarked that Will never was a man until now, and that forgive me, Regine, but I must say it he owes his manhood to little Marietta." Frau von Eschenhagen's brow darkened at this remark; she did not see fit to answer it though, but showed that she wanted to avoid further discussion by asking, in a changed tone: "Has Toni come back yet?
Nothing would have been gained even if you had not allowed him to leave your side, for you could not guard a lad of seventeen like a little child. The mother would have found some way to see her child, and that is her right I should do the same." "Her right?" interrupted the Major violently. "And you say that to me, Regine?" "I say it, because I know what it is to have an only son.
