It may be supposed then that he had very little attention indeed to bestow upon a girl like Ursula, who was only the daughter of his coach nobody at all in particular and that her foolish fancies on the subject might have been spared.
Ann clapped her hands but lightly, sat looking into her lap, and for some time could say not a word; indeed, if she had trusted herself to speak the game would of a certainty have been lost. The knight of Eberstein it was, who ere long, albeit unwittingly, came to her aid; he challenged Ursula to give us a song in thanks to Junker Herdegen's praise of the maids of Franconia.
"He is very impertinent," cried Ursula, with an angry blush. "How should I know? And oh! how very silly of you, Janey, to talk so loud, and make impudent men stare at us so." "Impudent!" cried Janey. "I didn't talk loud. He looked rather nice, on the contrary. Why, he laughed! Do you call that impudent?
"I wonder what her Christian name is." "I believe it is Ursula." "How did you find that out?" "It is written in one of her books." "Ursula!" I repeated, wondering where I had heard it before. "A pretty name." "A very pretty name." When John fell into this echo mood I always found it best to fall into taciturnity.
Ursula looked up at him; tears stood in her eyes, though through them shone all the steadfastness of faithful love. "Thank you, John. I have decided. If you wish it, if you think it right, we will leave Longfield and go to Beechwood." He stooped and kissed her forehead, saying only: "We will go."

"Of course, what you fancy is perfect nonsense, Ursula; and as to my interfering " Susy hesitated, and then murmured: "But if it will make you any happier I'll arrange to see him less often...." She sounded the lowest depths of subservience in returning Ursula's tearful kiss....
"I thought you were much more strong than I am against the Dissenters?" said Ursula, "ever since that man's speech; and, indeed, always, as long as I can recollect." "She is not a mere Dissenter," said Reginald. "I think I shall call as I go home. She is the cleverest girl I ever met; not like one of you bread-and-butter girls, though she is not much older than you.
"Do people ever offer to make you presents? I mean presents of value, such as " "Silk handkerchiefs, shawls, and trinkets; very frequently, brother." "And what do you do, Ursula?" "I takes what people offers me, brother, and stows it away as soon as I can." "Well, but don't people expect something for their presents?
Then was there shouting and clinking and emptying of wine cups, whereat old Dame Clara Tetzel, who was deaf and had failed to gather the purport of her son's address, cried aloud "Is young Schopper come at last then?" Hereupon Sir Franz turned pale; he had gone up to the old woman, glass in hand, with Ursula, and she now spoke into her grand-dame's ear to explain the matter.
