"To-day of all days?" "The marplot, madam, has the instinct of his nature," returned Gondremark. "But you exaggerate the peril. Think, madam, how far we have prospered, and against what odds! Shall a Featherhead? but no!" And he blew upon his fingers lightly with a laugh. "Featherhead," she replied, "is still the Prince of Grünewald."

"It cannot, cannot be put off?" she asked. "It is impossible," answered Gondremark. "Your Highness sees it for herself. In the earlier stages we might imitate the serpent; but for the ultimatum, there is no choice but to be bold like lions. Had the Prince chosen to remain away, it had been better; but we have gone too far forward to delay." "What can have brought him?" she cried.

'You fill me with admiration. I had not heretofore done justice to your qualities. Seraphina looked up with joy, supposing Otto conquered; but Gondremark still waited, armed at every point; he knew how very stubborn is the revolt of a weak character. 'And the territorial army scheme, to which I was persuaded to consent was it secretly directed to the same end? the Prince asked.

She had never liked nor trusted Gondremark completely; she had still held it possible to find him false to friendship; but from that to finding him devoid of all those public virtues for which she had honoured him, a mere commonplace intriguer, using her for his own ends, the step was wide and the descent giddy.

"I think, Herr von Gondremark," said Seraphina, somewhat tartly, "you often attribute your own sagacity to your Princess." For a second Gondremark staggered under the shrewdness of the attack; the next, he had perfectly recovered. "Do I?" he said. "It is very possible. I have observed a similar tendency in your Highness."

HALF an hour after, Gondremark was once more closeted with Seraphina. 'Where is he now? she asked, on his arrival. 'Madam, he is with the Chancellor, replied the Baron. 'Wonder of wonders, he is at work! 'Ah, she said, 'he was born to torture me! O what a fall, what a humiliation! Such a scheme to wreck upon so small a trifle! But now all is lost. 'Madam, said Gondremark, 'nothing is lost.

I've heard them say it in a speech. I was at a meeting once at Brandenau, and the Mittwalden delegates spoke up for fifteen thousand. Fifteen thousand, all brigaded, and each man with a medal round his neck to rally by. That's all Gondremark." "Ay, sir, you see what it leads to: wild talk to-day, and wilder doings to-morrow," said the old man.

"It may then be held as read," concluded the Baron. "Will your Highness sign?" The Princess did so; Gondremark, Eisenthal, and one of the non-combatants followed suit; and the paper was then passed across the table to the librarian. He proceeded leisurely to read. "We have no time to spare, Herr Doctor," cried the Baron brutally.

Be pitiful to the poor young man; affect an interest in his hunting; be weary of politics; find in his society, as it were, a grateful repose from dry considerations. Does my Princess authorise the line of battle? 'Well, that is a trifle, answered Seraphina. 'The council there is the point. 'The council? cried Gondremark.

'Madam, said the Baron, alarmed out of his caution, 'command yourself. 'Address yourself to me, sir! cried the Prince. 'I will not bear these whisperings! Seraphina burst into tears. 'Sir, cried the Baron, rising, 'this lady 'Herr von Gondremark, said the Prince, 'one more observation, and I place you under arrest. 'Your Highness is the master, replied Gondremark, bowing.
