Even the students in their long boots and coloured caps did not look modern, as they strolled along in knots of three and four from the University to the mess at dinner-time, or thronged the pavements of the high street towards evening, when the purple light was on the cathedral spires and the shadows were deepening below. Greif loved it all, and to some extent his affection was returned.
Because I love you, I want to do what you like, and not what I like, and I always will, so long as you love me. Greif drew her to him and held her close, and whispered a tender word into her ear. 'But you must understand, she said. 'It is not because you are to be my husband, that I mean to submit to you. I do not submit at all, and never shall.
Finding no suitable answer to what she had said, he could think of nothing better than to press her hand gently and stroke her long straight fingers. Presently, the pressure was returned and Greif congratulated himself, with some reason, upon having discovered the only plausible argument within his reach. But his wisdom did not go so far as to keep him silent.
Thereupon Rex's stony eyes had expressed something as nearly like astonishment as they were capable of showing, for he was surprised at being found out, almost for the first time in his life, and he perceived that Greif had not found him out alone. 'I am sorry that she should think me capable of disliking her, Rex answered.
Her own father had been killed, too, before she could know him if she had known him, she would have loved him, as Greif had loved the old gentleman who was now dead. Hilda became aware that her reflexions were growing more and more heartless and that they did not help her at all, especially as she could not communicate them to Berbel.
No hermit ever lived upon so little as sufficed for the baroness; no perishing, shipwrecked wretch ever measured out so carefully the ounce of biscuit that must maintain life from day to day; no martyr ever submitted more patiently and silently to his sufferings. But Hilda grew, and the years sped on, and Greif would come in time.
The road made a wide sweep before passing this point and she would have been certain to reach it long before the carriage. But she knew that such wildness could produce no good result. She would stand there waiting for the carriage, it would come, Greif would tell Karl to stop, and then what could happen?
The scene presented by the Palmengarten restaurant at four o'clock in the morning was extremely strange. Since Greif and Rex had dined together in the place on the previous evening, the arrangement of the hall had been considerably changed.
Moreover, there was Greif, and Greif was to marry Hilda, after which all would be well again. Greif, with his money, would build and restore and furnish the old castle, and bring back the breath of life into the ancient halls and corridors.
'Because if that were it, she said gravely, 'Rex might go, and I should be glad of it 'Hilda! How can you have such ideas! cried Greif at last. Her innocence was so astounding that he could not find words to answer her at once. 'There might be just a possibility 'That you, in your heart of hearts, are not satisfied with me alone, but want to make a conquest of Rex besides! Poor Rex!
