So long, then, as the contest seemed doubtful Gregory withheld his decision. At length, in 1080, when, despite two victories, Rudolf was gaining no advantage, Gregory felt that further delay might make Henry too strong to be affected by the papal judgment.
I saw him glance at James, and the slightest, briefest smile showed on James's face. "It's dangerous, of course," pursued Rudolf. "But I believe that when they see the king's body " "That's the point," interrupted Sapt. "They can't see the king's body." Rudolf looked at him with some surprise.
And again they fell a-talking about trifling general topics, walking as they talked up and down the garden; and Rudolf fancied that now he had conquered this woman, and the woman fancied that she had already sinned sufficiently to be condemned for ever.
Ann stood and stared at the line of low hills that fringed the edge of the water. "What funny, funny country!" she exclaimed. "It's like a checker-board going up-hill." "No, it isn't either," said Rudolf, who loved to disagree, "because the squares are not square, they're all different shapes and sizes and they're not just red and black but ever and ever so many different colors."
Ah, Rudolf Rassendyll, God preserve me from a conscience that won't let me be true to the woman I love, or to the friends who love me!" I had never seen the old fellow so moved; he carried me with him, as he carried Bernenstein. I know now that we were too ready to be convinced; rather that, borne along by our passionate desire, we needed no convincing at all.
She looked at him with eyes wide in wonder; for an instant she seemed puzzled, but then she fell again to laughing. "Grieve for it!" said she between her merry laughs. King Rudolf was a man who lay late in the morning; and he was not well pleased to be roused when the clock had but just struck four.
Destiny, however, as if eager at last to work in her favor, throws in her way a handsome young Swiss, Rudolf Engemann by name, a bank-clerk, with whom she falls deeply in love. Everything is progressing to Madame's content, when a little convent-girl, Marie Peyrolles, comes to Berne to live with her old aunt, a glove-seller, whose sign in the Spitalgasse gives the name to the story.
In an article on "The Structure and Order of the Reich," published late in 1941, Ernst Rudolf Huber wrote, "this folk principle has found its full confirmation for the first time in the events of this war, in which the unity of the folk has been realized to an extent undreamed of through the return to the homeland of territories which had been torn from it and the resettlement of German folk-groups.
"Then they didn't get him!" cried Bernenstein in deep disappointment. "No, but he gave no news to the king," said Rudolf triumphantly. They were all standing now round the queen, who sat on the couch. She seemed very faint and weary, but at peace. It was enough for her that Rudolf fought and planned for her. "And see this," Rudolf went on.
"No, it's not the king," came in unhesitating certainty from Queen Flavia. They waited: a low knock sounded on the door. Still for a moment they waited. The knock was repeated urgently. "We must open," said Sapt. "Behind the curtain with you, Rudolf." The queen sat down, and Sapt piled a heap of papers before her, that it might seem as though he and she transacted business.
