"Nonsense!" the Emperor broke in wrathfully. "The contrary is true. The Queen of Hungary was commissioned to assure the supposed boy of my approval. Tell her this, Sir Wolf Hartschwert, and do so at once. Tell her " "She rode to the forest with some friends," Wolf timidly ventured to interpose to save himself other orders impossible to execute.
Yet perhaps his glances strayed almost as frequently to one other maiden. The velvet gown should now decide whether he gave the preference to her or to pretty Elspet Zohrer of course, only in the dance for she would never have accepted him as a serious suitor. Besides, the young noble, Pyramus Kogel, himself probably thought of no such folly. It was very different with Wolf Hartschwert.
A low bow followed this remark; then, with quiet dignity, the major-domo reported that the leaders of the orchestra and the boy choir had been waiting below and with them Sir Wolf Hartschwert and an old gentleman, the father of this lady a considerable time for her return.

When the regent reproached him for having taken Sir Wolf Hartschwert from her without a word of consultation, although she was unwilling to spare him, he had instantly placed Wolf at her disposal again.
He now unclasped his hands to grasp the cap under his arm, which he twirled awkwardly in his fingers while saying, in a rapid, expressionless tone, as though he were repeating a lesson, that he had come to summon Wolf Hartschwert to the Queen of Hungary, with whom he must set out for Brussels early the next morning.
Hitherto Barbara had troubled herself very little about political affairs, and her interest in them died completely when a visitor called who threw them, as well as everything else, wholly into the shade. Wolf Hartschwert had come to Brussels and sought Barbara. Her husband was attending to the duties of his office in the Rhine country when she received her former lover.
