Walstein soon found himself in a scene very different from any of which he had ever dreamed of in his rustic and simple life upon his father's farm.

There was a dead, painful pause, in which Walstein interposed. 'As for myself, I suppose I have no predisposition, or I have not found it out. Perhaps nature intended me for a swineherd, instead, of a baron.
'What shall it be? inquired Madame de Schulembourg, with a thoughtful air. 'Ah! what shall it be? echoed Walstein, in accents of despondence; 'or, rather, what can it be?
