Hedwig has thrown herself at him. For that, sire, she is responsible, not he." "Then get rid of her," growled the King. The Chancellor rose. "If the situation is left to me, sire," he said, "I will promise two things. That Otto will keep his friend, and that the Princess Hedwig will bow to your wishes without further argument."
He was the last to leave the theatre, and De Pretis was with him. At that moment he saw Hedwig von Lira sitting in an open carriage in front of the box office. De Pretis bowed low; she smiled; and Nino took off his hat, but would not go near her, escaping in the opposite direction.
In an instant he was on his knees beside her, his arms close about her, his head bowed against her breast. And Hedwig relaxed to his embrace. When at last he turned and looked up at her, it was Hedwig who bent and kissed him. "At least," she whispered, "we have had this, We can always remember, whatever comes, that we have had this."
The weather is wonderfully fine, and I am sure you owe it to the world to show the roses which rest has given you." Hedwig blushed softly, and I rose and went away, conceiving that I had kept watch long enough. But Nino called after me, as he moved the bench from the door. "Messer Cornelio, will you not come with us? Surely you need a walk very much, and we can ill spare your company.
Everything hung on the result of her visit. If Karl persisted, if he would marry Hedwig in spite of the trouble it would precipitate, then indeed she was lost. If, on the other hand, he was inclined to peace, if her story of a tottering throne held his hand, she would defy the Committee of Ten. Karl himself would help her to escape, might indeed hide her. It would not be for long.
Rather a little prig, I think. He has an English governess, and she has made him quite a little woman." Karl laughed, but Hedwig flushed. "He is not that sort at all," she declared stoutly. "He is lonely and and rather pathetic. The truth is that no one really cares for him, except " "Except Captain Larisch!" said the Archduchess smoothly. "You and he, Hedwig, have done your best by him, surely."
Send Walter down with a note to say that you regret that an unfortunate previous engagement, which you have just recollected, will make it impossible for you to accept their kind invitation to plot." "No; I must go." "And there is another thing," continued Hedwig: "Gessler the Governor is in the town now." "He goes away to-day." "Well, wait till he has gone. You must not meet him.
TELL. 'Tis early practice only makes the master. HEDWIG. Ah! Would to heaven they never learnt the art! TELL. But they shall learn it, wife, in all its points. Whoe'er would carve an independent way Through life must learn to ward or plant a blow. HEDWIG. Alas, alas! and they will never rest Contentedly at home. TELL. No more can I! I was not framed by nature for a shepherd.
An old priest, who knows me well, would perform the marriage. After that they might find me if they liked. It would be too late." Emergency had given Hedwig insight. She saw that the woman before her, voicing dangerous doctrine, would protect herself by letting the initiative come from her. "This priest he might be difficult." "Not to a young couple, come to him, perhaps, in peasant costume.
We were all silent for some time. At last Nino spoke. "Is it true that the count was here this morning?" he asked, in a subdued voice, for the extraordinary visit and its sequel had made him grave. "Quite true," I said. "He was here a long time. I would not spoil your pleasure by telling you of it, when you first came." "What did he what did my father say?" asked Hedwig, presently.
