Страница 256 - ... proportion to the pain inflicted. When Ebbo was recalled by the torture to see no white reflection of his own face on the pillow beside him, and to feel in vain for the grasp of the cold damp hand, a delirious frenzy seized him, and his struggles were frustrating the doctor's attempts, when a low soft sweet song stole through the open door. " Friedel ! " he murmured, and held his breath to listen. All through the declining day did the gentle sound continue; now of grand chants or hymn caught...
Страница 319 - ... and shipped him off at once for Genoa, with orders to the captain to consign him to the merchant >Signor dei Battiste. By him Sir Eberhard had been received with the warmest hospitality, and treated as befitted his original station, but Battista disclaimed the merit of having ransomed him. He had but acted, he said, as the agent of an Austrian gentleman, from whom he had received orders to inquire after the Swabian baron who had been his fellowcaptive, and, if he were still living, to pay his...
Страница 250 - I had made an end of thee," he muttered, unheard by Friedel, who, intent on the thought that had recurred to him with greater vividness than ever, was again filling Ebbo's helmet with water. He refreshed the dying man's face with it, held it to his lips, and said : " Herr Graf, variance and strife are ended now. For heaven's sake, say where I may find my father.
Страница 336 - Heaven knows the right is no easy matter to find ; but, when one thinks one sees it, there is nothing to be done but to guide oneself by it, even if the rest of the world will not view it in the same light." "Nothing else ! I doubt me whether it be ever easy to see the veritably right course while still struggling in the midst. That is for after ages, which behold things afar off; but each man must needs follow his own principle in an honest and good heart, and assuredly God will guide him to work...
Страница 318 - ... it appeared that, after some years spent at the oar, certain bleedings from the lungs, the remains of his wound, had become so much more severe as to render him useless for naval purposes ; and, as he escaped actually dying during a voyage, he was allowed to lie by on coming into port till he had in some degree recovered, and then had been set to labour at the fortifications, chained to another prisoner, and toiling between the burning sand and burning sun, but treated with less horrible severity...
Страница 4 - She was too small, too slight, too retiring for such a position. If there was something lily-like in her drooping grace, it was not the queen lily of the garden that she resembled, but the retiring lily of the valley — so purely, transparently white was her skin, scarcely tinted by a roseate blush on the cheek, so tender and modest the whole effect of her slender figure, and the soft, downcast, pensive brown eyes, utterly dissimilar in hue from those of all around except perhaps the...
Страница 263 - See to his entertainment, then, Hatto," said the lady. " My lady — sir harón," added Hatto, " I had not come up but that this guest seems scarce gear for us below. He is none of the foresters of our tract. His hair is perfumed, his shirt is fine holland, his buff suit is of softest skin, his baldric has a jewelled clasp, and his arblast ! It would do my lord baron's heart good only to cast eyes on the perfect make of that arblast ! He has a lordly tread, and a stately presence, and, though he...
Страница 240 - I fetch him not," he set off in quest of him, passing through the hamlet to look for him in the chapel on his way. Not finding Friedel there, he was, however, someway up towards the tarn, when he met his brother wearing the beamy yet awestruck look that he often brought from the mountain height, yet with a stedfast expression of resolute purpose on his face. " Ah, dreamer ! " said Ebbo, " I knew where to seek thee ! Ever in the clouds ! "
Страница 331 - Another put-off with Flemish courtesy I see by thy face, Ebbo." " Not quite that, mother. The command is ready for the Baron Friedmund Maximilianus von Adlerstein Wildschloss, and all the rest of it, on the understanding that he has been bred up free from all taint of the new doctrine." " New ? Nay, it is the oldest of all doctrine. The youth knows no other.
Страница 278 - He has deceived you, my lord," said Heinz. " My lady's own letter to Schlangenwald was in his chamber. 'Tis a treacherous disguise." "Fool that thou art!" said Ebbo. " I know this gentleman well. I knew him at Ulm. Those who meet him here mean me no ill. Open the gates and receive them honourably ! Mother, mother, trust me, all is well. I know what I am saying.
