"That it is high time," said the king, interrupting him, "to go to Berlin; you do well to remind me of it. Order my carriage I will be off at once." Princess Ulrica, the eldest of the two unmarried sisters of the king, paced her room with passionate steps. The king had just made the queen-mother a visit, and had commanded that his two sisters should be present at the interview.
Ulrica looked down with a mixture of curiosity and triumph; she could not understand these tears; but she had a secret satisfaction in seeing the person she most envied weeping so bitterly.

Why, child, take courage; you will be a heroine yet, and I shall be thrown completely in the shade left disconsolate and forlorn." "Don't jest," said Clemence, shuddering. "You can't think, Ulrica, how all this pains me.
But know, if it will give thee comfort to know it, that Ulrica is bound to the same dark coast with thyself, the companion of thy punishment as the companion of thy guilt. And now, parricide, farewell for ever! May each stone of this vaulted roof find a tongue to echo that title into thine ear!"
"O, yes, and it might have already made rapid progress if you had assisted me in my first step towards the completion of my designs, by remaining at home instead of running away."

"I do not feel it necessary to confide my views on that subject to Count Tessin," said Amelia, with a short, rude laugh. "Yes, sister, it is necessary," said Ulrica, with a magical smile, "you must justify yourself to the count, for you have cast contempt upon his country."
Mistress Ulrica, who was suddenly changed from a tigress into a lamb, assured her husband that she was innocent; that she had not even entertained a guilty thought. But as she humbled herself, Mr. Fabian's wrath increased, and astonished that he had not long before discovered this method of taming his wife, he played the tyrant con amore.
Answering voices came from the bedrooms. She entered each room, shifting screens, opening each window for a few moments, leaving each door wide. "Each her little corner," she said in Miriam's room, "fresh water set for the morning. The heavens are all round us, my little ones; have no fear." Gently sighing and moaning Ulrica moved about in her corner.
"I do not forget it, and I should have been very happy to have been able to retain your good will; but at the price of my liberty of thought and action, I do not desire your favor." "Then you will return to the valley, to Miss Nanna." "Undoubtedly. She requires my presence, and I long to see her." "Then you still love the young girl?" inquired Mrs. Ulrica.
"Speak, sister; name the point which Count Tessin dares to contest with you." "Oh, the count is a man and a scholar, and has full right to differ," said Ulrica, graciously. "The question was a comparison of Queen Elizabeth of England and Queen Christina of Sweden.
