And she playing the virtuous, deeply injured part before me, that creature " "Mother, be silent! I will not allow that," interrupted Willibald, angry too, now. "You will not allow it what does that mean?" Frau von Eschenhagen stopped suddenly and listened. "There comes Toni, your betrothed bride, to whom you have pledged your word, who wears your ring. How do you purpose treating her?"
This extensive, well-wooded park, which lay before the city's very doors, was well worth a visit, but Willibald took scant notice of its beauties as he hurried on in the keen November morning. He glanced neither to the right nor to the left, but strode on, striking into this path and now into that, frequently re-treading the very ground which he had left but a moment before.
The count, who was neither very large nor very rugged, and who had felt already the weight of this young giant's fist, measured Willibald for a minute, but that was long enough to convince him that a hand to hand scuffle could only result one way. "You will give me satisfaction if you are capable of giving satisfaction," he began in a half-suffocated voice.
She shook back the soft curls with a little sigh. "It's queer and old, and funny some of the words. And the writing is blurred and yellow. Look." She held up the open sheet. The keen old eyes darted at it. "Work on it," she said brusquely. "I have, grandmamma." "Well what did ye find?" "It's a man Will Willi" she turned to the bottom of the last page "Willibald! That's it." She laughed softly.
No conversation concerning Hartmut had ever passed between them save the one fleeting question and his wife's monosyllabic answer. But he felt he dare keep silence no longer toward his nephew Willibald, for there would be a similar scene to that enacted by the mother at Hochberg if the son was surprised by the sight of his boyhood's friend.
Since the first day on which Willibald had surprised them both, and they had been forced to take him into their confidence, Zalika had chosen a late hour in the afternoon, and a lonely place in the wood for her meetings with her son. She was accustomed to meet him before the twilight began, in order that he might not attract attention by returning late to Burgsdorf.
"As it concerns an affair of honor, my mother will have no right to say anything," Willibald declared with true heroism. "But I will have to find a second here, where I am a stranger and know no one. Of course uncle Wallmoden knows nothing of the matter, or he would have the police interfere at once, so I resolved to come and ask you whether you would perform that service for me?"
So many men consider it perfectly legitimate to attempt liberties with any one who appears on the stage, and sometimes even those with whom one associates are not believe me, Herr von Eschenhagen, my lot is not always an enviable one." Willibald appeared surprised. "Not an enviable one? Why, I thought you loved your profession, heart and soul, and that nothing could induce you to leave it."
The question was put to Marietta, who had joined them at the moment. Her face bore traces of recent tears, but her eyes lighted with a smile as Willibald clasped her hand in his. "I won't be long away from you, and you are willing, are you not?"
He seems to think there is no necessity for being punctual at Burgsdorf, but I will enlighten the young gentleman when he comes and make it clear to him that " "There he is now," exclaimed Willibald. On the clear sunshine which flooded the room through the open windows, there fell a shadow, and a tall, slender figure appeared suddenly at the window and vaulted upon the high sill.
