Petronelle had first become alarmed. She had now quite resumed her authority and position, and promised protection and employment to Barbe and Trudchen. The former had tears for 'her boy, thus cut off in his sins; but it was what she always foreboded for him, and if her old master was not thankful for the grace offered him, she was for him.
"You may drive me from the castle I only long to be away from it; but I cannot stain my soul by saying that spoil and rapine are the deeds of a true knight." "My mother will beat you," cried Ermentrude, passionately, ready to fly to the head of the stairs; but her brother laid his hand upon her. "Tush, Trudchen; keep thy tongue still, child! What does it hurt me?"
He was a young fellow with a good Flemish countenance not, indeed, of the most intellectual cast, but arguing more hilarity and good humour than wit, and, as the Countess could not help thinking, scarce worthy to be bachelor to the generous Trudchen.
'I might question here, said Rollo in an amused tone, and eyeing her inquisitively; 'but I have done it so often, I leave the ground to you. What next? 'What next' seemed to have flown away. 'Does Collingwood engross all the thoughts that go back to Chickaree? A sidelong glance of the brown eyes was all that Mr. Rollo got by that venture. How is Trüdchen? she asked gravely. 'Flourishing.
'How have these robbers treated my Lady? 'Well, as well as they know how. That good woman has been very kind to us, said Eleanor, as she saw Barbe peeping from the stair.

"Whatever shall happen, whatever danger shall approach, may I forfeit the benefits purchased by yonder blessed sign, if I be not the sharer of your fate until it is again a happy one!" "Very pathetic and touching, truly," said a rough, broken, asthmatic voice behind. "A love affair, I see, and, from my soul, I pity the tender creature as if she were my own Trudchen."
She first retired and called out: "Liza, Fritz, Liza, Trüdchen, come quickly!" Then she came back, and cried: "Herr Allitsen, what a surprise!" She shook his hand times without number, greeted Bernardine with motherly tenderness, and interspersed all her remarks with frantic cries of "Liza, Fritz, Trüdchen, make haste!" She became very hot and excited, and gesticulated violently.
I think Trüdchen had been beforehand with them. 'And does Mrs. Boërresen like to have you come and go through the Hollow, knowing the people? 'I never heard of the least annoyance to any one there before. I can only surmise that the sight of a lady, where no lady ever comes, excited the spite of some children perhaps. And they might have expressed their spite by throwing a few stones.
She was too much in awe of him to utter cry or complaint, and, when he saw her effort to subdue her mortal terror, he was far from unkind, and let her feel his protecting strength. Presently a voice was heard above "What, Sorel, hast brought her! Trudchen is wearying for her."
