I went up to her quickly, and closed the door, saying, 'You have come'; my voice was not much above a breath. She looked distrustfully down the length of the room; 'You were speaking to some one? 'No. 'You were speaking. 'To myself, then, I suppose. I remembered and repeated the gipsy burden. She smiled faintly and said it was the hour for Anna and Ursel and Kith and Liese to be out.
Coming home from their labours, in the fervent discussion of their scholars, and exchanging remarks and greetings with the other teachers of various calibres, the friends reached their own road, and there, to their amazement, beheld Miss Headworth. 'Yes, it really is! cried Nuttie. 'We can't be too late? No there's no bell! Aunt Ursel! What has brought you out? What's the matter? Where's mother?
An authoritative knock at the door of the sleeping chamber was now heard, and Ursel, relieved by more powerful feelings, from the giddiness of which he had complained, walked firmly into the bedroom, and seating himself, waited with averted eyes the entrance of the person who demanded admittance, and who proved to be no other than Alexius Comnenus.
Even if she meant to do and who can trust a Gentile? was she there, day and night? Did Emendant not tell thee that he saw her at the Coronation?" "Well, yes, he did," admitted Abraham, with evident reluctance. "And had she Belasez there, tied to her apron-string, with a bandage over her eyes? Son of Ursel, wilt thou never open thine?
She had clung more closely to him than the woman to whom he owed his life, for his mother had deserted him to take the veil in the convent of the Sisters of St. Clare, but her maid-servant Ursel would not part from him. So she was received by his foster parents when they adopted him, and had served them faithfully until their deaths.
"Such is my purpose," said the Emperor; "and in evidence that I mean not again to pass over a sentence of this kind with a seeming execution only, as in the case of Ursel, this ungrateful traitor of ours shall be led from the top of the staircase, or ladder of Acheron, as it is called, through the large chamber named the Hall of Judgment, at the upper end of which are arranged the apparatus for execution, by which I swear"
It was already half past one, and for the sake of Ursel, who was still obliged to take care of herself, he urged departure, adding gaily that he had not the ability to "defend himself against two." Erasmus, too, was surprised to find it so late, and, after shaking hands with the old woman and promising to visit her soon again, seized his cap. Wolf accompanied him.
After the soothing operation of the bath, and the voluptuous exchange of the rude and musty pile of straw, on which he had stretched himself for years, for a couch of the softest down, Ursel was presented with a sedative draught, slightly tinctured with an opiate.
And I made thirteen gold pennies clear profit. Thou canst see the child is no worse they have been very kind to her: she said as much." "Abraham, son of Ursel, thou art a very wise man!" "What canst thou mean, Licorice?" "`Kind to her! If they had starved her and beaten her, there might have been no harm done. Canst thou not see that the girl's heart is with her Christian friends?
Ursel and Else helping one another out, tried to tell her, but they were much confused; all they knew was that the party had been surprised at night in a village hostel by the Schlangenwaldern, and all slain, though the young Baron had lived long enough to charge the Schneiderlein with his commendation of his wife to his mother; but all particulars had been lost in the general confusion.
