Clotilde remarked that he had many friends, all men of eminence, and a large following among the people. He assented: 'Yes: Tresten, Retka, Kehlen, the Nizzian. Yes, if I were other than for legality: if it came to a rising, I could tell off able lieutenants. 'Tell me of your interview with Ironsides, she said proudly and fondly.
His laughter, even to Tresten, a man of camps, sounded profane as a yell beneath a cathedral dome. 'Why, the woman has been in my hands I released her, spared her, drilled brain and blood, ransacked all the code, to do her homage and honour in every mortal way; and we two strangers! Do you hear that, Tresten?
He apologized to you for his daughter's insolence to me. He will not fight, be sure. 'Perhaps not, Tresten said. 'As for the girl, Alvan has the fullest right to revile her: it cannot be too widely known. I could cry: "What wisdom there is in men when they are mad!" We must allow it to counterbalance breaches of ordinary courtesy. "With the name she deserves," you say?
Before visiting his Mentor, Alvan applied for an audience of General von Rudiger, who granted it at once to a man coming so well armed to claim the privilege. Tresten walked part of the way to the General's house with him, and then turned aside to visit the baroness.
Storchel looks on, and observes, and that 's about all he can do, or need do. Up Mont Blanc to-day, Tresten! It's the very day for an ascent: one of the rare crystalline jewels coming in a Swiss August; we should see the kingdoms of the earth and a Republic! But I could climb with all my heart in a snowstorm to-day. Andes on Himalayas! as high as you like.
I did a ludicrous and a shameful thing, knowing it in advance to be a barren farce. I obeyed his wish. The tale will be laughable. I obeyed him. I would not have it on my conscience that the commission of any deed ennomic, however unwonted, was refused by me to serve Alvan. You are my witness, Tresten, that for a young woman of common honesty I was ready to pack and march. Qualities of mind-mind!
He has written a savage letter to her father, sending the girl to the deuce with the name she deserves, and challengeing the General. 'That letter is despatched? 'Rudiger has it by this time. The baroness fixed her eyes on Tresten: she struck her lap. 'Alvan! Is it he? But the General is old, gouty, out of the lists. There can be no fighting.
He apologized to you for his daughter's insolence to me. He will not fight, be sure. 'Perhaps not, Tresten said. 'As for the girl, Alvan has the fullest right to revile her: it cannot be too widely known. I could cry: "What wisdom there is in men when they are mad!" We must allow it to counterbalance breaches of ordinary courtesy. "With the name she deserves," you say?
She had not ever thought of him coldly: hitherto it would have seemed a sacrilege; but now she said definitely, the friend of Tresten cannot be the man I supposed him! and she ascribed her capacity for saying it, and for perceiving and adding up Alvan's faults of character, to the freezing she had taken from that most antipathetic person.
The General had not consented to everything: he had granted enough, evidently in terror of the man who had captured Count Hollinger; and it way arranged that Tresten and Storchel were to wait on Clotilde next morning, and hear from her mouth whether she yielded or not to Alvan's request to speak with her alone before the official interview in the presence of the notary, when she was publicly to state her decision and freedom of choice, according to Count Hollinger's amicable arrangement through his envoy.
