He cast an almost insane glance at his enemy, and a wild determination sounded in his voice as he answered: "Yes, Herr Wallmoden, I shall remain." The ambassador had not expected this answer; he had thought after his conversation the matter would be ended. He evinced no surprise, however, and said: "Really? So you decide to remain? You are accustomed to play high, and expect to do it here?
Wallmoden stepped back to the writing-table and put aside his papers, and locked his drawers with his usual precision; then he took up the two letters, with their red checks, and folded them together. "One thing more, Adelheid," he said, casually, "Prince Adelsberg was most noticeable in his attentions to you to-day; he was always near you."
Wallmoden had no thought of the danger which had threatened himself. He had not seen fit to tell his wife anything concerning his old friend Falkenried's history, and decided now that she had better know nothing more about Prince Adelsberg's friend than was known by their associates.
Wallmoden is almost forty years your brother's senior, and he's the lad's guardian, too, for two years more, until Eugen attains his majority. So the boy had nothing to do but obey orders for that brief space." "Of course, but Eugen, while warm-hearted, is impetuous and inconsiderate, as he has always been from a small boy." "That's a pity!
And she raises such a racket with her son, too. She might as well have left Will here. No one knows why she dragged him away; just before the duke came, too. I'm sure I'll never understand your sister." "It's a good thing she did," muttered Wallmoden, as he separated from von Schönau. "If Willibald had seen his boyhood's friend here, there would have been another scene, doubtless.
But Wallmoden imagined he would think it all well over, and when Prince Adelsberg left Rodeck that would end the whole matter. Under no circumstances would Rojanow appear by the prince's side at the capital where the ambassador had threatened to denounce him at once. But Baron von Wallmoden did not understand the unyielding defiance of this man, who had indeed dared much.
But I knew not a moment was to be lost, so the same evening I gave Herbert the right to rescue his brother-in-law." "Naturally," muttered Falkenried with keen contempt. "Wise Herbert." "He left for Rome at once," continued Baroness von Wallmoden, "and returned eight days later with my brother.
The head forester was somewhat diffident; he had a certain feeling of shyness in the presence of his diplomatic brother-in-law, whose sarcastic tongue he secretly feared. But Toni did not allow "his excellency" her uncle, or his wife, either, to ruffle her wonted composure. The years had not treated Herbert von Wallmoden so gently as they had his sister.
Now as Adelheid entered the room, fully equipped for her journey, he turned to her and offered his arm to escort her to the carriage. After he had helped her in it, Wallmoden entered, and as the coachman cracked his whip, said: "We'll be back to-morrow without fail good-bye." Falkenried bowed and stepped back.
He had not mentioned his meeting with Frau von Wallmoden. Why not forget the very name as soon as possible? "Our romantic loneliness will soon end, Herr von Schönau tells me," continued Egon. "The whole court is coming to Fürstenstein for the hunting season, and I can count on a visit from the duke. He'll come over to Rodeck as soon as he arrives.
