ks Wilhelmina,--dare not
write at all, says Dubourgay;--but loads Villa with presents, with
advices; with her whole heart speeds him under way. "Dismissed, turned
off for some fault or other--or perhaps because the Princess knows
enough of English?" so the rumor goes, in Villa's Berlin circle.
"The Chaplain set out with his despatches," says Wilhelmina, who does
not name him, but is rather eloquent upon his errand; "loaded with
presents from the Queen. On taking leave of me he wept warm tears. He
said, saluting in the English fashion,"--I hope with bended knee, and
the maiden's fingers at his lips--"'He would deny his Country, if it did
not do its duty on this occasion.'" And so hastened forth on his errand.
Like a Carrier-Pigeon sent in extremity;--like Noah's-Dove in the
Deluge: may he revisit our perishing Ark with Olive in his bill!
