76 THE SKJUTS-BOY.
Borgenstierna blushed, #vhether from anger, or from another
cause, #e do hot know. He hastily i)icked u I) the chain, and
said–
"I hope you will be so kind, young lady, as fo allow me fo
restore the damage which Alfred bas done, af Wenersborg#"
"I do hot know #vhether I can do so," for she did not hardly
know ho#v fo conduct herself xmder ]#resent circumst#nces. "I
#ould part #ith that chain very uawillingly, for I bave wora if
for the last three years constantly. If was formerly the 1)roperty
ofmy mother, who brought if with ber from Germany; and when
I was as young as Alfred, and even s#ill younger, I was accus-
tomed fo play with if."
"I know – can imagine if –" interrupted Borgenstiernm
"The jewels of the mother willingly become the playthings of
ber favourite. Were you born in Germ#ny, my lady#"
"Born, yes; but came fo Sweden when very young indced–
Ah! there cornes my mother, I shall ask ber what I dare and
shall do."
Borgenstierna prevented Ameli#’s intentions# and appealed
himself fo ]#Iadame de Dressen, whose decision terminated, fo
his great joy, as he wished if.
tteated and weary from the heat of the day, and the long
walks they had taken, the p#ssengers retired fo their state-rooms
for the test of the d#y # and only in the evening, when there
was a cool breeze, #vhich paid so much regard fo the ladies that
if did hOt injure them af all, the party again assembled on deck.
Soon they arrived in the neighbourhood of the ma#-mificent
castle of Wadstena ; Borgenstierna adjusted his telescope fo the
proper focus for Amelia’s eye, so th#t the latter was able fo dJs-
tinguish ifs noble architectural beauties, as well as those of a
neighbouring monastery, very distinctly.
"Ah! how bëautiful the old castle is, even now," said Amelia,
in raptures ; "yet if must be in great decay. Is if true, that it
is no w used as a magazine for graîn ?"
