A Norman lance the colors wore, in Hastings' fatal fray St. Willibald for Bareacres! 'twas double gules that day! O Heaven and sweet St. Willibald! in many a battle since A loyal-hearted Bareacres has ridden by his Prince! At Acre with Plantagenet, with Edward at Poitiers, The pennon of the Bareacres was foremost on the spears!
So Willibald was told that he could go and visit his bride; the permission was granted all the more willingly because Frau Regine knew that Marietta Volkmar must have returned to the city long since.
He cast an admiring, surprised glance at the tall, handsome man whom he had once ridiculed as a cabbage grower, but who looked so brave and manly in his military dress. It was not the uniform which had so altered Willibald; love, camp life and entire change from the old monotonous existence had done it.
It seemed to him as if he had never rightly understood the word money before, as if the meaning of money had never been made clear to him until he heard Theresa say it. “To-morrow morning at ten o’clock,” he said. Theresa nodded her head in silence, and raised her hands with outstretched fingers as if to protect herself from Jason Philip. Willibald and Markus had crept under the door.
Instead of any answer or word of greeting from her aunt the same question from both sides sounded in her ears. "Where is Willibald?" "He'll be here in a few minutes, he waited to give some direction to the castle gardener; he does not know his mother is here." "To the castle-gardener!
"He's a handsome man," mused Marietta, "a very handsome man. But, grandpapa, I believe he's also a very stupid one." Willibald in the meantime had gone, almost on a run, to the nearest street corner, and there he halted and tried to overcome his bewilderment and collect his thoughts.
But on the day when you bring Marietta Volkmar to Burgsdorf I leave it." The threat had its effect; Willibald moved back a step as he said excitedly: "Mother, you are speaking in anger." "I speak in full earnest.
"My little singing bird," said Dr. Volkmar tenderly, as he rose and leaned over his grandchild and kissed her forehead. "Well, grandpapa," she said teasingly, "has my voice lost anything within the last few months? But I fear it does not please Herr von Eschenhagen. He has no word of commendation for me." She turned to Willibald with the assumed sulky look of a spoiled child.
How they got back to the little sitting-room neither of them ever knew, but he had drawn her arm through his and led her in, while she feasted her eyes on his flushed, happy face. But now she noticed that his right wrist was bandaged. "You have been hurt?" she said, in an anxious whisper. "Only a scratch, not worth talking about," Willibald answered, with great cheerfulness of spirit.
She had never changed her ultimatum regarding her return to Burgsdorf, and it is needless to add, Willibald had not changed. Adelheid asked her to go home with her and she had gone, feeling that her threat had as yet borne no fruit. Frau von Eschenhagen believed she could effect a revolution of feeling in Willibald's heart by this move.
