For if Thirza had lived anywhere else than where she did live, near Redcross, the answer to her first letter might have been different. Therefore Annie did not perhaps deserve much solace from these letters, and certainly this one did not contribute to her exaltation of spirit.
They all know you there. Make yourself comfortable. I will give orders that you shall be well served." He then proceeded to the room where Thirza and her mother wore sitting. The former was pale, and had evidently been crying. "Some news has come," he said. "Not the very best, and yet by no means the worst. Drummond is wounded a severe wound, but not, it is confidently believed, a dangerous one."
No man can hold a position of spiritual authority for long years without developing the habit of judgment. He judged Noel's conduct to be headlong and undisciplined, and the vein of stubbornness in his character fortified the father and the priest within him. Thirza disappointed him; she did not seem to see the irretrievable gravity of this hasty marriage.
You would be as safe from interruption, there, as if you were a hundred miles away from Dresden. We have arranged that Thirza shall have chief charge of you, out there; while the count and I will look after you while you are in the house." Fergus obediently lay down and slept for some hours.
"You must prepare yourself for his being somewhat disfigured." "Oh, that is nothing, father; nothing whatever to me! But how is he disfigured?" "Well, my dear, he has lost his left arm, at the elbow." Thirza gave a little cry of grief and pity. "That is sad, father; but surely it is no disfigurement, any more than that sabre scar on his face.
Thirza tore it open, and ran through its contents. "It is just as you say, father. He makes very light of it, and writes as if it were a mere nothing." She handed the letter to her mother, and then turned to the count. "Is there anything we can do, father?" "Nothing whatever. With such a wound as that, he will have to lie perfectly still for some time.
"Donald and I have talked it over, many a time, and we were of one mind that, if any one could get away from an Austrian prison, you would do it." The next morning Fergus rode over to see Count Eulenfurst, found him quite restored to health, and was received by him, the countess, and Thirza with great pleasure. "My return in safety is in no small degree due to you, count.
At last came the list the Austrians had sent in of the prisoners they had taken, and we were delighted to see your name in it; though, as the Austrians have been so chary of late of exchanging prisoners, we feared that we might not see you for some time. However, remembering how you got out of Spielberg, we did not despair of seeing you back in the spring. "Thirza was especially confident.
"I feel how great is the boon that you have given me; and shall, to my life's end, be deeply thankful to you both for the confidence which you have placed in me, in thus intrusting her to my care. "And to you, Thirza, do I swear to be a loving husband, to the end of my life."
His griefs, angers, and enjoyments were simple as a child's, or as his somewhat noisy slumbers. They were notably well-suited, for Thirza had the same secret of happiness, though her, absorption in the moment did not as became a woman prevent her being conscious of others; indeed, such formed the chief subject of her absorptions.
