Etwald rose to his feet and stretched out a menacing hand. A blue-aproned girl who had been packing her materials in an adjoining locker turned civilly. "Yes, I saw all was right in the house at twelve o' clock, and I slept on in my chair from that hour until three.".

In a few days the marchioness arrived at the castle. She was followed by a numerous retinue, and accompanied by Ferdinand, and several of the Italian noblesse, whom pleasure attracted to her train. Her entrance was proclaimed by the sound of music, and those gates which had long rusted on their hinges, were thrown open to receive her.
