I have now resolved with myself to be a reasonable girl. Believe me, however, Thostrup is in an ill humor!" "If the Kammerjunker were to pay his addresses to you, would you accept him?" asked Louise, and seated herself upon her sister's bed. "What can make you think of such a thing?" inquired she. "Hast thou heard anything? Thou makest me anxious! O Louise!
"Were not, then, the citizens strong enough to throw the giddy nobles out of the window?" inquired Otto. "You forget, Mr. Thostrup, that you yourself are noble!" said Sophie. "I was really the goddess of fate who gave to you your genealogical tree."
"We are not strangers!" said the mother; "it is only a family meal! You see the usual circle. You, Mr. Thostrup," added she, with a most obliging manner, "I know so well from Wilhelm's letters, that we are no strangers. The gentlemen are acquainted with each other!" "I accept the invitation," said the Kammerjunker, "and I will now show you into what a gallop I can put my steed!
"It will be time enough this evening for strangers to know of it. The Kammerjunker and my Sophie are betrothed." "See, it was in the bright moonlight, Mr. Thostrup, that I became such a happy man!" said the Kammerjunker, and kissed the tips of Sophie's fingers. He offered his other hand to Otto. Otto's countenance remained unchanged, a smile played upon his lips.
"But it is strange," interrupted the lady, "that only one out of his five daughters is engaged. If the young ladies in Copenhagen do not go off better than that, what shall we say here?" "Now Mr. Thostrup can take one of them," said the husband. "There is money, and you have fortune also; if you get an office, you can live in floribus!"
"The steward shall not proceed any further in it. We have recovered the old silver tankard, and the losing that was my greatest trouble. We will thank God that we are well rid of her! Poor thing! she will come to an unfortunate end!" "Are you still unwell, Mr. Thostrup?" said Sophie, and looked at him. "I am a little feverish," replied he.
"When you make the journey to Hamburg?" inquired Louise. "O no, child! to-day I mean. Thostrup was indeed very polite! he congratulated me! I felt, however, rather curious when it was told to him. I had quite expected a scene! I was almost ready to beg of you to tell him first of all. He ought to have been prepared. But he was, however, very rational! I should not have expected it from him.
I am very sorry for her and you too, Mr. Thostrup, for it is disagreeable! If the magistrate come to-morrow morning, and she fall into the claws of the red angel, it will not be so easy to set her at liberty again! But yet you could, perhaps, help her; as, for instance, to-night! I could make an opportunity I would be in the great avenue beyond the hall.
Here is the only place in the whole country where the sign of the cross stands under the free heaven; here I worship: for you must know, Mr. Thostrup, I am not of your faith, but of the faith of the Virgin Mary.
"In spring you will travel abroad," pursued she; "we shall not then see you in Jutland: yes, perhaps you will never go there again! That will make old Rosalie sad: she thinks so incredibly much of you. In all the letters which I have received here there were greetings to Mr. Thostrup.
