"I never thought he'd be so firm about it, ma'am," said Lotta to her mistress. "If we could get Trendellsohn to turn her off, he would not think much of her afterwards," said the mother. "He wouldn't care to take the Jew's leavings." "But he seems to be so obstinate," said Lotta. "Indeed I did not think there was so much obstinacy in him."
Trendellsohn stood pausing for a moment, and then he turned to the elder Zamenoy. "What do you say, sir? Is it true that these papers are at the house in the Kleinseite?" "I say nothing," said Karil Zamenoy. "It seems to me that too much has been said already." "A great deal too much," said the lady.
But no; he came not at all; and the hours of the day and the night followed slowly and surely upon each other, as she sat by her father's bed watching the last quiver of the light in the socket. But though Trendellsohn did not come himself, there came to her a messenger from the Jew's house a messenger from the Jew's house, but not a messenger from Anton Trendellsohn.
When the two men had reached the sitting-room in the Jew's house, and Ziska had seated himself, Anton Trendellsohn closed the door, and asked, not quite in anger, but with something of sternness in his voice, why he had been disturbed while engaged in an act of worship. "They told me that you would not mind my going in to you," said Ziska, deprecating his wrath. "That depends on your business.
"I am sure, Ziska," continued Nina, "you will understand why I ask this. Father is too weak to make the demand, and uncle would listen to nothing that Anton Trendellsohn would say to him." "They say that you have betrothed yourself to this Jew, Nina." "It is true. But that has nothing to do with it." "He is very anxious to have the deeds?" "Of course he is anxious.
Poor Nina need not have added another to her many causes of suffering by doubting her lover's truth. Anton Trendellsohn, though not given to speak of his love with that demonstrative vehemence to which Nina had trusted in her attempts to make her friends understand that she could not be talked out of her engagement, was nevertheless sufficiently firm in his purpose.
Father Jerome, of course, will condemn me; but I shall not ask him whether or not I am to keep my promise my solemn promise." "And why not?" Then Nina paused a moment before she answered. But she did answer, and answered with that bold defiant air which at first had disconcerted her aunt. "I will ask no one, aunt Sophie, because I love Anton Trendellsohn, and have told him that I love him."
"You are more you are everything to me; but, still, I know that he has never wronged you." Then the Jew paused again, still walking onwards through the dark colonnade with her hand upon his arm. They walked in silence the whole side of the large square. Nina waiting patiently to hear what would come next, and Trendellsohn considering what words he would use.
"I never thought of your coming from the side of the Hradschin," said Nina, wondering whether any of those lights she had seen could have been there for the use of Anton Trendellsohn. "I am so glad you have come to me. It is so good of you." "It is good of you to come and meet me, my own one. But you are cold. Let us walk, and you will be warmer."
To this Nina made no answer. She could not claim to have known her lover from so early a date as Rebecca Loth had done, who had been, as she said, born in the arms of his family. But what of that? Men do not always love best those women whom they have known the longest. Anton Trendellsohn had known her long enough to find that he loved her best.
