'I am determined to find it out, said Madame de Schulembourg. 'I wish to heaven you could, said Baron de Walstein. 'I think a wandering life has spoiled you, said Caroline. 'I think it must be civilisation that you find wearisome. 'That would be very sublime, replied Walstein.
We were told this afternoon that, to produce happiness, the nature of a being and his career must coincide. Now, what can wealth and station produce of happiness to me, if I have the mind of a bandit, or, perhaps, even of a mechanic? 'You must settle all this with Augustus, replied Madame de Schulembourg; 'I am glad, however, to hear you abuse youth.
Walstein mounted the marble steps and was ushered through a hall, wherein was the statue of a single nymph, into an octagonal apartment. Schulembourg himself had not arrived. Two men moved away, as he was announced, from a lady whom they attended. The lady was Madame de Schulembourg, and she came forward, with infinite grace, to apologise for the absence of her husband, and to welcome her guest.
Can you sympathise with me? 'I speak, then murmured the astounded Consul 'To your son, with your permission-to Lord Bohun! A Philosophical Conversation between a Physician and His Patient. DR. DE SCHULEMBOURG was the most eminent physician in Dresden. He was not only a physician; he was a philosopher.
'You know that you are my patient, rejoined Madame de Schulembourg. 'I have orders to cure your melancholy. I am very successful in such complaints. 'I have no doubt of it, replied Walstein, with a slight bow. 'If we could but find out the cause! continued Caroline. 'I venture to believe that, after all, it will turn out an affair of the heart. Come, be frank with your physician.
He was ever graceful, even when enthusiastic. 'It is difficult to remember we are in the North, said Walstein to Madame Schulembourg, 'amid these colonnades and orange trees. 'It is thus that I console myself for beautiful Italy, replied the lady, 'and, indeed, to-day the sun favours the design. 'You have resided long in Italy? inquired Walstein.
'I am little accustomed to metaphysical discussions, remarked Walstein; 'this is, indeed, a sorry subject to amuse a fair lady with, Madame de Schulembourg. 'On the contrary, she replied, 'the mystical ever delights me.
'I was born at Milan, replied Madame de Schulembourg, 'my father commanded a Hungarian regiment in garrison. 'I thought that I did not recognise an Italian physiognomy, said Walstein, looking somewhat earnestly at the lady. 'Yet I have a dash of the Lombard blood in me, I assure you, replied Madame de Schulembourg, smiling; 'is it not so, Mr. Revel?
I can assure you, my dear Madame de Schulembourg, he continued, in a very serious tone, 'that, with my present sensations, I should consider it highly dishonourable to implicate any woman in my destiny. 'Ha! ha! ha! laughed Madame; 'I can assure you, my dear Mr. Walstein, that I have a great many very pretty friends who will run the risk. 'Tis the best cure for melancholy, believe me.
Walstein, said Caroline, 'with your permission, I shall take my afternoon walk. Thus speaking, she stopped the carriage, which she and her companion quitted. Walstein offered her his arm, but she declined it, folding herself up in her shawl. 'Which do you like best, Mr. Walstein, Constantinople or Dresden? said Madame de Schulembourg. 'At this moment, decidedly Dresden, replied her companion.
