But Jerome had been broken in: he had thrown over Miss Paterson, and, after a delay of a year and a half, obeyed his brother's behests, and strengthened the ties connecting Swabia with France. A third alliance was cemented by the marriage of the heir to the Grand Duchy of Baden with Stéphanie de Beauharnais, niece of Josephine.
I have made peace with Saxony. The Elector is King and belongs to the confederation. Good by, my dearest Josephine. Yours ever. A kiss to Hortense, to Napoleon, and to Stephanie. Paer, the famous musician, his wife, whom you saw at Milan twelve years ago, and Brizzi, are here; they give me some music every evening." Napoleon left Posen in the middle of December.
But one should be honest." The tears were stealing down her cheeks, and she thrilled to his pleadings as to some wondrous music, yet she was like adamant, and all his lover's desperation could not shake her. It was strange to see this slender, timid slip of a girl so melting and yet so cruelly firm. He appealed to Stephanie, but she was as unresponsive as a bronze image.
Cowperwood, commented on the fact that Stephanie was gradually improving in her art, that the Garrick Players had experienced a great deal of trouble, and that Stephanie was shortly to appear in a new role something Chinese. "That was such a charming set of jade you gave her," she volunteered, genially. "I only saw it the other day for the first time. She never told me about it before.
"She does not know me!" the colonel exclaimed in despair. "Stephanie!
"Shall I be able to trust you then?" He leaned slightly towards her, looking more closely into her face. Then: "All my life, Stephanie," he said, and before she realised his intention he had pressed her hand to his lips with the action of a man who seals an oath. From that hour forward, Stephanie was no longer a close prisoner.
"Of course she does. I knew this wasn't any of her doing. I've been hunting everywhere for her." "At nine o'clock she will be in the Plaza. You know the dark place across from the church?" "I'll be there." "If we do not come, wait." "Certainly. But, Stephanie, tell me what it is all about?" The black woman shook her head. "She is sick," she said, in a harsh voice, "that is all I know.
It need scarcely be added that he left Vienna the next day, and a week later obtained his transfer to another post. A short time before the tragedy of Mayerling, Crown Princess Stephanie had a very nasty fall, owing to the gaucherie of a cavalry officer with whom she was waltzing. The emperor was terribly annoyed, and Crown Prince Rudolph spoke his mind in no measured tones to the offender.
A cry of satisfaction broke from her, a dim light of intelligence gleamed in her eyes. "She knows me!... Stephanie!..." The colonel felt his heart swell, and tears gathered under his eyelids. But all at once the Countess held up a bit of sugar for him to see; she had discovered it by searching diligently for it while he spoke.
My mandate is for peace, and my charge is from the Kaiser's lips." Stephanie, with the air of one a little weary of the conversation, broke away from a distant group and came towards them. Her beautiful eyes seemed tired, she moved listlessly, and she even spoke with less than her usual assurance. "Am I disturbing a serious conversation?" she asked. "Send me away if I am."
