Let me see you, since you will have no advice of mine, apply the more attention of your own to bear it worthily. 'Herr von Gondremark is long in coming, she remarked. 'O Seraphina, Seraphina! he cried. And that was the end of their interview.
"Nothing," replied Seraphina. "I desire to speak with you. Send off the rest." She panted between each phrase; but her mind was clear. She let the looped curtain down upon both sides before she drew the bolt; and, thus secure from any sudden eyeshot from without, admitted the obsequious Chancellor, and again made fast the door.
He was resolved to win the lady from all his rivals. He had frequent opportunities of seeing her at Mrs. Falconer's, where he appeared always in glory as her patron.
