Will you allow me to call Mr. Trius?" "I'll have to give in, I suppose," the Baron acquiesced. Mr. Trius was already on the spot, for he was blessed with splendid hearing. "You are to carry me up," said the Baron. "Apollonie will show you how it is done." Apollonie immediately seized him firmly about the waist. "You do the same, Mr.
Only when Kurt lay safely and quietly in bed could he think over what had happened and how cowardly he had acted. After all, his mother had clearly told him that there was no ghost in Wildenstein. Whom then, had he seen in armor and helmet and with a long mantle? It could not have been Mr. Trius, because he was a short, stout person, whereas the apparition was a tree-high figure.
This was a terrible blow for Apollonie, to whom this new thought had given great confidence. She therefore decided to say nothing more and quietly watched Mr. Trius as he walked up and down inside the garden. Mäzli in the meantime had eagerly pursued her way and was soon up on the terrace.
I shall only put his room in order, and if he happens to get up, I can make his bed. Oh, please let me in, Mr. Trius! You know that I'll do anything in the world for you. Please let me nurse the sick master!" Apollonie's voice had grown supplicating. "Forbidden," was the curt reply. "But I am no stranger here. I have served in this house for more than thirty years," Apollonie went on eagerly.
She had long been gazing at the high gate which was to be their destination and which they were nearing rapidly. "Does Mr. Trius take his big stick along when he comes down to the gate?" she asked, looking cautiously about her. "Yes, yes, he never goes about without it, Mäzli, but you need not be afraid," Apollonie calmed her. "He won't hurt you, and I should advise him not to.
Soon after, she was making war on the fine spider-webs in the kitchen, and in a couple of hours it already looked livable and cosy there. Mr. Trius smiled quite pleasantly when he entered, as he was just on the point of brewing himself and his master a cup of coffee.
"I promised to bring Leonore, so you'd better open." But Mr. Trius did not stir. "Come, Mäzli, we'd better go back," said Leonore in a low voice. "Can't you see that he won't open it? Maybe he is not allowed." But it was no easy matter to turn Mäzli from her project. "If he won't open it I'll scream so loud that the Castle-Steward will hear it," she said obstinately.
Kurt had soon informed Salo and Bruno that there was a large hall with weapons and armor at the ground floor of the castle. When the boys asked Apollonie to admit them, she opened a little side door for them, because Mr. Trius had hidden the other key. Salo lifted the armoured knight to his shoulders, and had the long, blue cloak draped around him.
As the Castle-Steward wants to see his two young friends, Leonore and Mäzli, again, he invites them, with the rest of the family, including the mother, to spend the following day at Castle Wildenstein." "I am glad," said Mäzli rapidly, "then Kurt can see that the Castle-Steward and Mr. Trius are two people."
"I hope that it won't ever happen to you." "Oh, he often threatens innocent people," Kurt replied. "Listen to a true description of him." Old Trius lives in our town, A haughty man is he, And every one that he can catch He beats right heartily. Old Trius wears a yellow coat, It's very long and thick, But all the children run away At sight of his big stick.
