A heavy, lumbering carriage came up the narrow, uneven road, along which he was trudging. There was a large trunk strapped on the back, and various bundles and boxes covered the seats within. Willibald wondered to himself why any one had chosen such a miserable little lane, which the recent rains had made totally unfit for vehicles, instead of taking the wide, decently paved street.
Willibald had been on guard when Marietta paid her first visit to Fürstenstein, had accompanied Toni to Waldhofen when she went to the old doctor's to see her friend, and he was now at his post again, to-day, in Antonie's boudoir.
"We will hope so," answered Wallmoden, as he rose and reached out his hand at parting. "But do not forget that the greatest danger with which you have to contend lies in Hartmut himself; he is in every trait the son of his mother. You are coming over to Burgsdorf with him day after to-morrow, I hear?" "Yes, he is to spend his short autumn vacation with Willibald.
I wish you great happiness, old fellow." Willibald took the wish for his happiness with characteristic coolness. He sat and gazed on the floor, and said in a low tone: "Yes my mother chose a wife for me." "I can well believe that," said Hartmut laughing. "But you at least gave your 'yes' willingly."
Willibald raised his eyes slowly from the ground and looked at the speaker. "You are right, Fräulein, Toni must hear all, the whole truth. I had decided on that before I came here but it will be a trying hour for me." "Oh, no indeed, it will not," Marietta said hastily.
"Oh, yes, I was a kinsman of his sister's late husband. I see you do not remember me. My name is Willibald von Eschenhagen. I have met your highness several times in past years." "At Fürstenstein!" exclaimed Egon with animation. "Certainly, now I remember you well, but it is wonderful what a change the uniform makes in one's appearance. I didn't recognize you at all at first."
Basle, 14 March 1525 To the illustrious Willibald Pirckheimer, greetings: ... I received safely the very pretty ring which you desired me to have as a memento of you. I know that gems are prized as bringing safety when one has a fall. But they say too, that if the fall was likely to be fatal, the evil is diverted on to the gem, so that it is seen to be broken after the accident.
She tore the paper from his hand, rolled it like a ball and threw it upon the floor, where she stamped on it passionately with her little foot. "But Fräulein " Willibald, vacillating between shame and anger, would have interfered to save his roses, but the dangerous look in the dark eyes warned him to keep back. "Now we are quits.
"Toni is good and full of confidence; she will know that what we tell her is the exact truth, and that we were both quite guiltless in the matter." "But I am not guiltless, at least toward Toni," said Willibald very earnestly. "Do not look so frightened, you would hear all later, so it is, perhaps, as well to hear it from my lips.
But Clive remarked, with not a little amusement, that the drawing-room tables were now covered with a number of those books which he had seen at Madame de Moncontour's, and many French and German ecclesiastical gimcracks, such as are familiar to numberless readers of mine. These were the Lives of St. Botibol of Islington and St. Willibald of Bareacres, with pictures of those confessors.
