"What is the matter with you?" inquired his wife, who had already retired to her bed; "has the horse been balky, or have you met with an accident?" "Nothing, nothing, darling Ulgenie; but my head has been heavy all the afternoon." "That is caused by your excessive sleeping," said Mrs. Ulrica. "Perhaps it is.
Cedric would have enquired farther into the purpose which she thus darkly announced, but the stern voice of Front-de-Boeuf was heard, exclaiming, "Where tarries this loitering priest? By the scallop-shell of Compostella, I will make a martyr of him, if he loiters here to hatch treason among my domestics!" "What a true prophet," said Ulrica, "is an evil conscience!
Mistress Ulrica Eugenia was characterized by a strong desire to assist in the work of emancipating women from the tyranny of men, and that she might forward the good work she had entirely set at naught the command that a wife should obey her husband; she openly declared that the ancient law which compelled the woman to subserve to the man, was but a concoction of man himself, that the Bible itself never contained such an absurd command, but that the translators, who she triumphantly affirmed were men, had placed that law in the scripture, merely to suit their own selfish ends.
"I shall hold you responsible here amongst these dear children, Miss Henderson," fluted Fraulein, quietly gathering up a few last things of Minna's collected on the bed, "our dear Ulrica and our little Emma," she smiled, passing out, leaving Miriam standing in the wonderful room.

But I am as good as the rest, I tell you, Ulrica Hardyng.
Frederick feared to increase the mortification of Ulrica, and seemed, therefore, not to observe her withdrawal. "I think," said he, "your majesty was not older than Amelia when you married my father; and if the crown prince of Sweden wishes to marry Amelia, I see no reason why we should refuse him. Happily, we are not Jews, and our laws do not forbid the younger sister to marry first.
Here be two arblasts, comrades, with windlaces and quarrells to the barbican with you, and see you drive each bolt through a Saxon brain."
