Her purpose of diverting his attention from Maria had long been forgotten, and moreover something--she knew not what had come between her and the young wife.
Not a day elapsed in which he did not meet her, and this was a source of pleasure to Henrica, because she could show him that his presence was a matter of indifference, nay even unpleasant.

Her imprisonment greatly depressed her, and she longed unutterably for the open country, the fields and the forest.

Yet she never expressed a wish to leave the city, for--Georg was in Leyden, and every waking and dreaming thought was associated with him.

She loved him to-day, loathed him tomorrow, and did both with all the ardor of her passionate heart.

She often thought of her sister too, and uttered many prayers for her.
