Later they were given another reception at Court, where, after Wolfgang's wonderful performances, the children won much applause by playing some piano duets composed by the boy a style of composition then quite new.
All gold. Big gold and littles ones. In them bags was lost entirely. In the others I don't know. Oh! I don't know. It was much, much!" It was Wolfgang's turn to interpose, and he did so, sternly: "Elsa, wife! Three thousand dollars, and I not know it! How dare you?" "Ach! how not dare I? It was the new pick, or the new pushcart, or the new everything, is it not so?
She had not thought of her not being Wolfgang's real mother at that moment. There was a troubled silence in the room. All that could be heard was a sound of heavy breathing, until at last Frida broke the paralysing stillness in her clear voice. "Have you been to see the landlady to-day?" she asked. Käte shook her head in silence.
For a moment the girl's light dress and Wolfgang's flying shadow were seen whisking round the pines, and then nothing more. But he must have reached her, for her shrill scream and his laugh were heard; both drove the blood into Käte's cheeks. It sounded so offensive to her, so vulgar. So he had got so far? He wandered about there with such, such persons?
And by the gleam of a miserable kitchen lamp, which lighted up the pitch-dark passage even at noon, he had seen a smart top-coat and a fine felt hat hanging in the entrance, and had recognised Wolfgang's things. So he was really there? There? So the anonymous letter had not lied after all. He did not know exactly what he had done after that; he only knew he had got rid of some money.
There was an expression about his mouth that was almost manly. It had never struck his father before was it the black clothes that made the boy look so grave? Wolfgang's thoughts went along paths of their own; not along those prescribed there. He had many sensations, but he could not keep hold of any; he was lost in thought.
The pleasant tenor of life at R sitten was disturbed by the arrival of a man whom one would have judged to be quite in his element there. This was Wolfgang's younger brother Hubert, at the sight of whom Wolfgang had screamed out, with his face as pale as a corpse's, "Unhappy wretch, what do you want here?"
"Is that Graff Wolfgang's tomb?" still eagerly pursued the pilgrim; and receiving a sign in the affirmative, "What was his end?" "He fell in a skirmish." "By whose hand?" "By mine." "Ha!" and the pilgrim surveyed him with undisguised astonishment; then, without another word, took up his staff and limped out of the building, but not on the road to Schlangenwald.
Did his soul seek the home he did not know in his dreams? that he could not even know about, and that still had such a powerful influence that it drew him there even unconsciously? Käte stood at Wolfgang's bedside tortured by such an anxiety as she had never felt before: a mother and still not mother. Alas, she was only a strange woman at the bedside of a strange child.
The following letter of Wolfgang's shows the sparkling state of his spirits, caused by the completion of his opera. At each line he turns the page, so that one line stands, as it were, on the head of the other. Oh! fly to seek my child so fair Here, and there, and everywhere! Wolfgang adds: Milan, Dec. 18, 1772. I HOPE, dear sister, that you are well, dear sister.
