In which prosperities, as indeed he continued to do in the perils and toils, Burggraf Friedrich III. of Nurnberg naturally partook: hence, and not gratis at all, the Hereditary Burggrafdom, and many other favors and accessions he got. For he continued Rudolf's steady helper, friend and first-man in all things, to the very end.
"Oh, Rupert's dead bones by now," he chuckled, and with that he went out of the hall door and announced the queen's approach to her servants. It must be said for young Bernenstein that he was a cheerful fellow-conspirator. His equanimity almost matched Rudolf's own; I could not rival it myself. I drove to the palace with the queen and my wife, the other two following in a second carriage.
Surely you haven't left him out in the rain?" She was anxious lest Rudolf's features should have been exposed too long to the light of the hall-lamps. The butler stammered an apology, explaining his fears for our goods and the impossibility of distinguishing social rank on a dark night.
Two or three people recognized me, but I passed by almost unnoticed. There was no sign of stir or excitement, and the flags still floated high in the wind. Sapt had kept his secret; the men of Strelsau thought still that their king lived and was among them. I feared that Rudolf's coming would have been seen, and expected to find a crowd of people near the house.
The children could hardly believe their ears. "Oh, Ruddy," whispered Ann in Rudolf's ear, "what kind of dreams do you suppose Aunt Jane will get?" "Sh! Listen, he's going to tell us," answered Rudolf. The Sandman was gravely consulting his list. "M-hm Cook-that-likes-living-in-the-Country! Step this way, ma'am, and don't take any more room than you can help.
Accordingly, as Rudolf turned the corner and Helena closed the window, a short, thickset figure started cautiously out of the projecting shadow, and followed in Rudolf's wake through the storm. The pair, tracker and tracked, met nobody, save here and there a police constable keeping a most unwilling beat.
How pale, how yellow it looks, poor thing! But, good Heavens! how pale you are! What is the matter?" "Nothing, nothing, sir," said Fanny, "only a little giddiness," and without the slightest hesitation she leant on Rudolf's arm. He fancied he understood, but he was very far from understanding.
There's nothing to be ashamed of in that. One may love the dead. I loved that woman, I love her now, and I shall never love another." Rudolf's heart went out to the young man. "You remain here," he said, "I will leave you to yourself. I will wait in the cemetery outside, and if I can be of any service to you command me." "Thank you, sir, I will go too; I have done what I came here to do."

It was Rudolf's sword which he had dropped from his hand in his weariness after his battle with the Fidgets. "What's this?" the Knight-mare cried. "Hurrah, a sword!" "My sword," said Rudolf, stretching out his hand for it.
Flora welcomed her friend with great joy, her satisfaction was unmistakably visible on her honest, lovely face as she pressed Fanny between her arms. Rudolf's manner was kindly and courtly, but nothing more. He was glad to see his pretty neighbour in his house and anxious to make her comfortable, but she did not interest him in the very least.
