Hereupon they both left the stables, and met Marcus in the courtyard with his company. Then all ascended noiselessly to the gallery, and ranged themselves around Sidonia's door.
And Coningsby turned round and walked with them. He told them he was going to leave Paris on the morrow. 'And miss Monsieur de Sidonia's fete, of which we have all talked so much! said Edith, with unaffected surprise, and an expression of disappointment which she in vain attempted to conceal.
And his words came true; for in the evening a dispute arose as to which of them Sidonia liked best, seeing that she uttered the same sweet things to all; and to settle it, five of them, along with the old fool Zitsewitz, went to Sidonia's room, and each in turn asked her hand in marriage; but she gave them all the same answer that she had no idea then of marriage, she was but a young, silly creature, and would not know her own mind for ten years to come.
So he remained another day, and that was the day preceding Sidonia's fete, which he particularly resolved not to attend. He felt it quite impossible that he could again endure the sight of either Sidonia or Edith. He looked upon them as persons who had deeply injured him; though they really were individuals who had treated him with invariable kindness.
If her Grace had no fitting employment for these young fellows, then he would pack them all off to the devil the very next morning, for they brought nothing but disrespect upon the princely house of Wolgast." So her Grace rejoiced over Sidonia's departure, but could not consent to send away the young knights.
And here my gracious Prince will say "O Theodore, this matter surely might have been passed over, since it brings a disrespect upon my princely house." I answer "Gracious Lord and Prince, my most humble services are due to your Grace, but truth must be still truth, however it may displease your Highness. So, in short, her Grace never heard of the insult until after Sidonia's departure from court."
How the young girls gathered round him when he entered, all telling him together about Sidonia. So he runs to Sidonia's door and tries to open it, but the bolts are drawn. Then he threatened to send for Master Hansen if she did not instantly admit him, at which all the girls laughed and clapped their hands with joy.
So the maid very willingly complied, and brought the witch-girl directly to Sidonia's little apartment, and then ran to Clara's room to watch for the return of her Grace in time to give notice.
I AM sorry, my dear mother, that I cannot accompany you; but I must go down to my yacht this morning, and on my return from Greenwich I have an engagement. This was said about a week after the dinner at Sidonia's, by Lord Montacute to the duchess. 'That terrible yacht! thought the duchess.
This would be fine news for our gracious lord!" They would tell him the whole story when his Highness came that evening, and so get rid of this proud, haughty dragon who played the great lady amongst them, and ruled everything her own way. Therefore they all set themselves to watch for the tailor when he left Sidonia's room; but the whole day passed, and he had not done with his measurement.
