The wives of the three gentlemen remained in the drawing-room, and Frau Martin lit a cigarette, sat down on the sofa and crossed her legs on Sundays she always wore dress shoes and black silk stockings. Doctor Friedrich's wife looked at Frau Martin's feet as though fixed to the spot by enchantment. Richard had followed the gentlemen he already took an interest in a game of taroc.
"Your father has forgiven you, but he is still annoyed. I had the greatest difficulty in getting his permission to come over here." "He doubtless thinks you will be able to bring me back to marry Count Taroc," replied Olga composedly, "but I stay." She looked at Giles again, as if he were the reason she thus decided. To change the conversation he stood up.
"Oh, that's all right," he replied. "We are friends now?" "Friends, and nothing more than friends. I am returning to Vienna with my mother, and have agreed to marry Count Taroc." Satisfied on this point, Giles went back to Rickwell, leaving Anne to the society of the Princess. Almost as soon as he set foot in his home he was informed of the news by Trim. "Mr.
For the rest, I assure you I am respectable." "It is not the life for a Karacsay, my dear. If you would only come back to Vienna and marry the man your father " "I choose for myself when I marry," flashed out Olga, with a glance at the uncomfortable Giles. "Count Taroc can take another wife." The Princess, seeing that Giles found this conversation somewhat trying, refrained from further remark.
A day or two later we received a visit from royalty, in the person of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia. In the evening we played a wonderful game called taroc, which was very intricate and almost impossible to learn. Old Baron Kessler, who undertook to teach it to me, got so sleepy that he actually yawned in my face.
"It belonged to your father's mother, dear," whispered the Princess as she kissed the bride. Olga married Count Taroc, and settled down into the meekest of wives. Giles and Anne heard of the marriage while on their honeymoon in Italy. They had taken a villa at Sorrento and were seated out on the terrace when the letter came, Anne expressed herself glad.
"Softer," said her brother-in-law, turning round again. "Taroc with a musical accompaniment is a speciality of this house," said Doctor Friedrich. "Songs without words, so to speak," added Herr Martin. The others laughed. Garlan turned round towards Bertha again, for she had suddenly left off playing.
