A few days after this conversation there was a melancholy procession down the village street. The Court Chaplain and the schoolmaster walked first ; the boy was crying bitterly. Then followed all the children of the school, all weeping, and many peasant women, and two or three old men. The Rector stood in a corner of the churchyard under a great walnut tree and looked on. He did not weep. The Court Chaplain looked ashamed, for all the people took this misfortune to be of his causing. When they had gone some way out 14 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. of the village the children stopped, and, collecting into a little crowd, they wept more than ever. The Chaplain turned round and waved his hand, but the little schoolmaster was too troubled to take any farewell. He covered his face with his hands and went on, weeping bitterly. At last they passed away out of sight. When they had gone on some distance, the boy became calmer ; he took his hands from his face, and looked up at the Chap- lain through his tears. " What am I to do when I come to the Prince, your Reverence ?" he said. " Thou must make a bow as best thou canst," said the other ; " thou must not speak till the Prince speaks to thee, and thou must say ' Highness ' sometimes, but not too often." THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 5 " How am I to tell when to say ' High- ness' and when to forbear ?" said the boy. " Ah ! that I cannot tell thee. Thou must trust in God ; He will show thee when to say ' Highness ' and when not." They went forward in this way across the meadows, and through the scattered forest for two leagues or more, in the mid- day heat. The boy was not used to labour, and he grew very tired and unhappy. It seemed to him that he was leaving be- hind all that was fair and true and beauti- ful, and going to that which was false and garish and unkind. At last they came to an open drive, or avenue of the forest, where great oaks were growing. Some distance up the avenue they saw a high park pale stretching away on either hand, and in the centre of the drive were iron 1 6 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. gates covered with gilt scrolls and letters. The Court Chaplain pushed the gates open, and they went in. Inside, the forest drive was planted with young trees in triple rows. After walking for some distance they reached another gate, similar to the first, but pro- vided with " loges," or guardrooms, on either side. One or two soldiers were standing listlessly about, but they took no heed. Here the drive entered the palace gardens, laid out in grass plots and stone terraces, and crossed by lofty hedges which shut out the view. They approached the long facade of a house with pointed roofs and green shutter blinds to all the windows. Here the Chaplain left the path, and con- ducted his companion to a remote side entrance ; and, after passing through many THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 7 passages and small rooms, at last left him to the tender mercies of the court tailor and some domestics, at whose hands the little schoolmaster suffered what appeared to him to be unspeakable indignities. He was washed from head to foot, his hair was cut, curled, and frizzled, and he was finally arrayed in a plain suit of black silk, with silk stockings, and delicate shoes with silver buckles, and plain linen bands like a clergyman. The worn homespun suit that had become dear to him was ruth- lessly thrown upon a dust-heap, and a mes- sage was sent to Herr Chaplain that his protSgd was now fit to be presented to the Prince. The boy could scarcely restrain his tears ; he felt as though he were wander- ing through the paths of a miserable dream. 1 8 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. Ah ! could he only awake and find himself again in the old schoolhouse, narrating the adventures of the Fair Melusina to the attentive little ones. The Chaplain led him up some back stairs, and through corridors and ante- rooms, all full of wonderful things, which the boy passed bewildered, till they reached a small room where were two boys appar- ently of his own age. They appeared to have been just engaged in punching each other's heads, for their hair was disordered, their faces red, and one was in tears. They regarded the Chaplain with a sullen suspicion, and the schoolmaster with undis- guised contempt. The door at the farther side of the room was partly open, the Chaplain scratched upon it, and, receiving some answer, they went in. THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 9 The little schoolmaster dared scarcely breathe when he got into the room, so surprising was all he saw. To the left of the door, as they came in, was placed a harpsichord, before which was standing, with her back towards them, a young girl whose face they could not see ; by her side, at the harpsichord, was seated an elderly man upon whom the boy gazed with wonder, so different was he from anything that he had ever seen before ; opposite to them, in the window, hung a canary in a cage, and the boy perceived, even in the surprise of the moment, that the bird was agitated and troubled. But the next moment all his attention was absorbed by the figure of the Prince, who was seated on a couch to the right of the room, and almost facing them. To say that this was 20 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the most wonderful sight that the little schoolmaster had ever seen would be to speak foolishly, for he had seen no wonder- ful sights, but it surpassed the wildest im- agination of his dreams. The Prince was a very handsome man of about thirty- five, of a slight and delicate figure, and of foreign manners and pose. He was dressed in a suit of what seemed to the boy a wonderful white cloth, of a soft material, embroidered in silk, with flowers of the most lovely tints. The coat was sparingly ornamented in this manner, but the waistcoat, which was only partly seen, was a mass of these exquisite flowers. At his throat and wrists were masses of costly lace, and his hair was frizzled, and slightly powdered, which increased the delicate expression of his features, which were THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 2 1 perfectly cut. He lay back on the couch, caressing, with his right hand, a small monkey, also gorgeously dressed, and armed with a toy sword, who sat on the arm of the sofa cracking nuts, and throw- ing the shells upon the carpet. The Prince looked up as the two came in, and waved his disengaged hand for them to stand back, and the next moment the strange phantasmagoria, into which the boy's life was turned, took another phase, and he again lost all perception of what he had seen before ; for there burst into the little room the most wonderful voice, which not only he and the Chaplain, but even the Maestro and the Prince, had well-nisrh ever heard. The girl, who was taking her music lesson, had been discovered in Italy by 2 2 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the old Maestro, who managed the music of the private theatre which the Prince had formed. He had heard her, a poor untaught girl, in a coffee-house in Venice, and she afterwards became, in the opinion of some, the most pathetic female actress and singer of the century. The first chord of her voice penetrated into the boy's nature as nothing had ever done before ; he had never heard any singing save that of the peasants at church, and of the boys and girls who sang hymns round the cottage hearths in the winter nights. The solemn tramp of the Lutheran measures, where the deep basses of the men drown the women's soft voices, and the shrill unshaded singing of the child- ren, could hardly belong to this art, which THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 23 he heard now for the first time. These sudden runs and trills, so fantastic and difficult, these chords and harmonies, so quaint and full of colour, were messages from a world of sound, as yet an unknown country to the boy. He stood gazing upon the singer with open mouth. The Prince moved his jewelled hand slightly in unison with the notes ; the monkey, appar- ently rather scared, left off cracking his nuts, and, creeping close to his master, nestled against his beautiful coat close to the star upon his breast. Then suddenly, in this world of wonders, a still more wonderful thing occurred. There entered into this bewitching, this entrancing voice, a strange, almost a discordant, note. Through the fantasied gaiety of the theme, to which the sustained 24 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. whirr of the harpsichord was like the sigh of the wind through the long grass, there was perceptible a strain, a tremor of sadness, almost of sobs. It was as if, in the midst of festival, some hidden grief, known beforetime of all, but forgotten or suppressed, should at once and in a moment well up in the hearts of all, turning the dance -measures into funeral chants, the love- songs into the loveliest of chorales. The Maestro faltered in his accompani- ment ; the Prince left off marking the time, he swept the monkey from him with a movement of his hand, and leaned forward eagerly in his seat : the discarded favourite slunk into a corner, where it leaned discon- solately against the wall. The pathetic strain went on, growing more tremulous and more intense, when suddenly the THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 25 singing stopped, the girl buried her face in her hands and sank upon the floor in a passion of tears; the boy sprang forward, he forgot where he was, he forgot the Prince — " It is the bird," he cried, " the bird !" The canary, whose dying struggles the singer had been watching through her song, gave a final shudder and fell lifeless from its perch. The Prince rose : he lifted the singer from her knees, and, taking her hands from the wet face, he turned to the others with a smile. "Ah, Herr Chaplain," he said, "you come in a 2food hour. This then is the angel - child. They will console each other." And, picking up the monkey as he passed, he left the room by another door. III. When the Prince was gone the Maestro gathered up some music and turned to his pupil, who was drying her eyes and looking somewhat curiously at the boy through her tears. "Well, Signorina," he said, "you truly sang that very well. If you could bring some of that ' timbre ' into your voice always, you would indeed be a singer. But you are too light, too ' frivole.' I wish we could have a canary always who would die ;" and, bowing very slightly to the Chaplain, he left the room. 28 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. Then the Chaplain looked kindly at the young people. Fraulein," he said, "this is the young tutor to the little serene Highnesses, I will leave you together, as the Prince wished." When they were alone the boy felt very uncomfortable. He was very shy. This perhaps was as well, for there was no shy- ness at all on the part of his companion. " So," she said, looking at him with a smile, and eyes that were again bright, "you are the new toy. I have heard of you. You are a wonderful holy child ; what they call 'pious' in this country. How very funny ! come and give me a kiss. "No, Fraulein," said Mark, blushing still more, " that would be improper in me." "Would it?" said the girl lightly; "don't THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 2 9 angels kiss ? How very stupid it must be to be an angel ! Come and look at poor ' Fifine ' then ! I suppose she is quite dead." And, opening the cage, she took out the piteous heap of yellow feathers and held it in her delicate hand, while the tears came again into her large dark eyes. "Ah! it was dreadful," she said, "to sins: and see him die." "But, Fraulein," said the boy, "you sang most beautifully. I never heard any- thing: so wonderful. It was heaven itself." The girl looked at him very kindly. " Oh, you like my singing," she said, " I am glad of that. Do you know, we shall be great friends. I like you. You are a very pretty boy." And she tried to put her arm round his 30 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. neck. Mark eluded her embrace. " Frau- lein," he said, with a dignified air, which made his companion laugh, "you must remember that I am tutor to their serene Highnesses ; I shall be very glad to be friends with you, and you will tell me something about the people in the palace." "Oh!" replied the girl, "there is no one but our own company, but they are the greatest fun, and better fun here than anywhere else. It is delightful to see them among these stupid, solemn, heavy Germans, with their terrible language. I shall love to see you with them, you will stare your pretty eyes out. There's old Carricchio — that's not his name, you know, but he is called so because of his part — that is the best of them, they are always the same — off the stage or on it — always THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 3 I laughing, always joking, always kicking up their heels. You will see the faces — such delicious grimaces, old Carricchio will make at you when he asks you for the salt. But don't be frightened, I'll take care of you. They are all in love with me, but I like you already better than all of them. You shall come on yourself sometime, just as you are ; you will make a delightful part. Mark stared at her with amazement. " But what are these people ?" he said ; " what do they do ?" "Oh, you will see," she said, laughing; " how can I tell you. You never dreamt of such things ; you will stare your eyes out. Well, there's the Prince, and the little Highnesses, and the old Barotin, the governess, and " — here a change came over 32 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the girl's face — "and the Princess is coming soon, I hear, with her ' servente.' "The Princess!" said the boy, "does she ever come ?" " Yes, she comes, sometimes," said his companion. " I wish she didn't. She is a bad woman. I hate her " " Why ? and what is her ' servente ? " " I hate her," said the girl; "her servente isthe Count — Cavaliere-serve nte, you know" — and her face became quite hard and fierce — "he is the devil himself." The little schoolmaster's face became quite pale. "The devil!" he said, staring with his large blue eyes. " Oh ! you foolish boy !" she said, laugh- ing again, " I don't mean that devil. The Count is a much more real devil than he!" THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 33 The boy looked so dreadfully shocked that she grew quite cheerful again. "What a strange boy you are!" she said, laughing. " Do you think he will come and take you away ? I'll take care of you — come and sit on my lap ; " and, sitting down, she spread out her lap for him with an inviting gesture. Mark rejected this attractive offer with disdain, and looked so unspeakably miser- able and ready to cry that his companion took pity upon him. "Poor boy," she said, "you shan't be teased any more. Come with me, I will take you to the Barotin, and present you to the little serene Highnesses. They are nice children — for Highnesses ; you will get on well with them." Taking the boy's unwilling hand, she D 34 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. led him through several rooms, lined with old marquetterie cabinets in the Italian fashion, till she found a page, to whom she delivered Mark, telling him to take him to the Baroness, into whose presence she her- self did not appear anxious to intrude, that he might be presented to his future pupils. The page promised to obey, and, giving him a box on the ear to ensure attention, a familiarity which he took with the most cheerful and forgiving air, she left the room. The moment she was gone the page made a rush at Mark, and, seizing him round the waist, lifted him from the ground and ran with him through two or three rooms, till he reached a door, where he deposited him upon his feet. Then throw- ing open the door, he announced suddenly, 00 "The Herr Tutor to the serene High- nesses !" and shut Mark into the room. His breath taken away by this atrocious attack upon his person and dignity, Mark saw before him a stately, but not unkindly- looking lady and two beautiful children, a boy and girl, of about eight and nine years of age. The lady rose, and, looking at Mark with some curiosity, as well she might, said: "Your serene Highnesses, this is the tutor whom the Prince, your father, has provided for you. You will no doubt profit greatly by his instructions." The little girl came forward at once, and gave Mark her hand, which, not know- ing what to do with, he held for a moment and then dropped. " My papa has spoken of you," she 36 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. said. "He has told me that you are very good." " I shall try to be good, Princess," said Mark, who by this time had recovered his breath. The little girl seemed very much in- sulted. She drew herself up and flushed all over her face. "You must not say Princess to me," she said, " that is what only the little Princes say. You must say, ' my most gracious and serene Highness,' whenever you speak to me." This was too much. Mark blushed with anger. " May God forgive me," he said, " if I do anything so foolish. I am here to teach thee and thy brother, and I will do it in my own way, or not at all." THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 2>7 The little Princess looked as if she were about to cry, then, apparently thinking better of it, she said, with a half sob, and dropping the stately "you": "Well, my papa says that thou art an angel. I suppose thou must do as thou wilt." The little boy, meanwhile, had been staring at Mark with solemn eyes. He said nothing, but he came, finally, to the little schoolmaster and put his hand in his. What more might have been said can- not be told, for at this moment the page appeared again, saying that dinner was served at the third table, and that the Herr Tutor was to dine there. The Baroness seemed surprised at this. " I should have supposed," she said, 2,S THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. " that he would have dined with the Chap- lain at the second table." "No," asserted the page boldly, "the Prince has ordered it." When alone, the Prince seldom dined ostensibly in public ; but often appeared masqued at the third table, which was that of the actors and singers. He had given no orders at all about Mark. The arrange- ment was entirely of the Signorina's making, who desired that he should dine with her. It was a bold stroke ; and an hour after- wards, when the Court Chaplain discovered it, measures were taken to prevent its re- currence — at least for a time. In whatever way this arrangement came to be made, however, the result was very advantageous to Mark. In the first place, it was not formidable. The company took THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 39 little notice of him. Signor Carricchio made grotesque faces at others, but not at him. He sat quite safe and snug by the Signorina, and certainly stared with all his eyes, as she had said. The long, dark, aquiline features of the men, the mobile play of humorous farce upon their faces, the constant chatter and sport — what could the German peasant boy do but stare ? His friend taught him how to hold his knife and fork, and how to eat. The Italians were very nice in their eating, and the boy picked up more in five minutes from the Signorina — he was very quick — than he would have done in weeks from the Chaplain. He was so scared and frightened, and the girl was so kind to him, that his boy's heart went out to her. 4-0 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. "What shall I call you, Signorina ?" he said, as dinner was over. "You are so good to me." He had already caught the Italian word. "My name is Faustina Banti," she said, looking at him with her great eyes; "but you may call me 'Tina,' if you like. I had a little brother once who called me that. He died." " You are so very kind to me, Tina," said the boy, "I am sure you must be very good." She looked at him again, smiling. IV. The next morning early Mark was sent for to the Prince. He was shown into the dressing-room, but the Prince was already dressed. He was seated in an easy-chair reading a small closely- printed sheet of paper, upon which the word "Wien" was conspicuous to the boy. The Prince bade the little schoolmaster be seated on a fauteuil near him, and looked so kindly that he felt quite at his ease. "Well! little one," said the Prince, "how findest thou thyself? Hast thou found any friends yet in this place ?" 42 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. "The Signorina has been very kind to me, Highness," said the boy. "Ah!" said the Prince, smiling, "thou hast found that out already. That is not so bad. I thought you two would be friends. What has the Signorina told thee ?" "She has told me of the actors who are so clever and so strange. She says that they are all in love with her." "That is not unlikely. And what else?" "She has told me of the Princess and of her servente." "Indeed!" said the Prince, with the slightest possible appearance of increased interest; "what does she say of the Princess ?" " She says that she is a bad woman, and that she hates her." " Ah ! the Signorina appears to have THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 43 formed opinions of her own, and to be able to express them. What else ?" " She says that the servente is the devil himself! But she does not mean the real devil. She says that the servente is a much more real devil than he ! Is not that horrible, Highness?" The Prince looked at Mark for two or three moments, with a kindly but strange far-reaching look, which struck the boy, though he did not in the least understand it. " I did well, little one," he said at last, "when I sent for thee." There was a pause. The Prince seemed to have forgotten the presence of the boy, who already was sufficiently of a courtier to hold his tongue. At last the Prince spoke. 44 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. "And the children," he said; "thou hast seen them ?" "Yes," said Mark, with a little shy smile, " I did badly there. I insulted the gracious Fraulein by calling her ' Princess,' which she said only the little Princes should do ; and I told her I was come to teach her and her little brother, and that I should do it in my own way or not at all." The Prince looked as though he feared that this unexpected amusement would be almost too delightful. "Well, little one," he said, "thou hast begun well. Better than this none could have done. Only be careful that thou art not spoilt. Care nothing for what thou hearest here. Continue to hate and fear the devil ; for, whether he be thy own devil or the servente, he is more powerful THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 45 than thou. Say nothing but what He whom thou rightly callest God teaches thee to say. So all will be well. Better teacher than thou my daughter could not have. I would wish her to be pious, within reason ; not like her aunt, that would not be well. I should wish her to care for the poor. Nothing is so gracious in noble ladies as to care for the poor. When they cease to do this they lose tone at once. The French noblesse have done so. I should like her to visit the poor herself. It will have the best effect upon her nature; much better," continued the Prince with a half smile, and seemingly speaking to him- self, "much better, I should imagine, than on the poor themselves. But what will you have ? — some one must suffer, and the final touch cannot be obtained without." 46 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. There was another pause. This aspect of the necessary suffering the poor had to undergo was so new to Mark that he required some time to grasp it. The visits of noble ladies to his village had not been so frequent as to cause the malign effects to be deeply felt. A/, Jl^. JA. Jt JA. •ff *VV* "7V" TV" *7f' Acting upon this advice so far as he understood it, Mark pursued the same system of education with the little High- nesses as he had followed with the village children ; that is, he set them to read such things as he was told they ought to learn, and encouraged them to do so by promising to relate his histories and tales if they were good. It is surprising how much the same human nature remains after generations of THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 47 different breeding and culture. It is true that these princely children had heard many tales before, perhaps the very ones the little schoolmaster now related, yet they delighted in nothing so much as hear- ing them again. Much of this pleasure, no doubt, was due to the intense faith and interest in them shown by Mark himself. He talked to them also much about God and the unseen world of angels, and of the wicked one ; and, as they believed firmly that he was an angel, they listened to these things with the more ready belief. Indeed, the affection which the little boy formed for his child-tutor was unusual. He was a silent, solemn child ; he said nothing, but he attached himself to Mark with a persist- ent devotion. Every one in the palace, indeed, took to 48 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the boy: the pages left off teasing him; the Signorina petted him in a manner sufficient to deprive her numerous lovers of their reason ; the servants waited on him for love and not for reward ; but the strangest thing of all was, that in proportion as he was kindly treated — just as much as every one seemed to love him and delight in him — just so much did the boy become miserable and unhappy. The kinder these people were, the more he felt the abyss which lay between his soul and theirs ; earnestness and solemn faith in his — sarcasm and lively farce, and, at the most, kindly toleration of belief, in theirs. Had they ill-treated or wronged him, he would not have felt it so much ; but kindness and security on their part, seemed THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 49 to intensify the sense of doubt and per- plexity on his. It is difficult to realise the effect which sarcasm and irony have upon such natures as his. They look upon life with such a single eye. It is so beautiful and solemn to them. Truth is so true ; they are so much in earnest that they cannot under- stand the complex feeling that finds relief in sarcasm and allegory, that tolerates the frivolous and the vain, as an ironic reading of the lesson of life. The actors were particularly kind to him, though their grotesque attempts to amuse him mostly added to his misery. They were extremely anxious that he should appear upon the stage, and indeed the boy's beauty and simplicity would have made an excellent foil. E 50 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. " Herr Tutor," said old Carricchio the arlecchino to him one day, with mock gravity, " we are about to perform a comedy — what is called a masqued comedy, not because we wear masques, for we don't, but because of our dresses. It consists of music, dancing, love-making, joking, and buffoonery ; you will see what a trifle it is all about. The scene is in the garden of a country-house — during what in Italy we call the Villeggiatura, that is the month we spend in the country during the vintage. A lady's fan is found by an ill-natured per- son in a curious place ; all the rest agree not to see the fan, not to acknowledge that it is a fan. It is all left to us at the mo- ment, all except the songs and the music, and you know how delightful those are. If you would take a part, and keep your THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 5 1 own character throughout, it would be magnificent ; but we will wait, if you once see it you will wish to act." No one, indeed, was kinder to Mark, or seemed more to delight in his society than the old arlecchino, and the two made a most curious sight, seated together on one of the terraces on a sunny afternoon. Nothing could be more diverse in appear- ance than this strangely assorted pair. Car- ricchio was tall, with long limbs, and large aquiline features. He wore a set smile upon his large expressive mouth, which seemed born of no sense of enjoyment, but of an infinite insight, and of a mocking friend- liness. He seldom wore anything but the dress of his part ; but he wrapped himself mostly in a long cloak, lined with fur, for even the northern sunshine seemed chilly to 52 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the old clown. Wrapped in this ancient garment, he would sit beside Mark, listening to the boy's stories with his deep un- fathomed smile ; and as he went on with his histories, the boy used to look into his companion's face, wondering at the slow smile, and at the deep wrinkles of the worn visage, till at length, fascinated at the sight, he forgot his stories, and looking into the old man's face appeared to Mark, though the comparison seems preposterous, like gazing at the fated story of the mystic tracings of the star-lit skies. Why the old man listened so patiently to these childish stories no one could tell ; perhaps he did not hear them. He himself said that the presence of Mark had the effect of music upon his jaded and worn sense. But, indeed, there was beneath THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 53 Carricchio's mechanical buffoonery and farce a sober and pathetic humour, which was almost unconscious, and which was now, probably owing to advancing years, first becoming known either to himself or others. "The Maestro has been talking to me this morning," he said one day. "He says that life is a wretched masque, a miserable apology for existence by the side of art ; what do you say to that ?" " I do not know what it means," said Mark ; " I neither know life nor art, how can I tell ? " That is true, but you know more than you think. The Maestro means that life is imperfect, struggling, a failure, ugly most often ; art is perfect, complete, beautiful, and full of force and power. But I tell 54 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. him that some failure is better than success ; sometimes ugliness is a finer thing than beauty ; and that the best art is that which only reproduces life. If life were fashioned after the most perfect art you would never be able to cry, nor to make me cry, as you do over your beautiful tales." Mark tried to understand this, but failed, and was therefore silent. Indeed it is not certain whether Carricchio himself understood what he was saying. He seemed to have some suspicion of this, for he did not go on talking, but was silent for some time. These silences were common between the two. At last he said : " I think where the Maestro is wrong is in making the two quarrel. They cannot quarrel. There is no art without life, and THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 55 no life without art. Look at a puppet-play — the fantoccini — it means life and it means art." " I never saw a puppet-play," said Mark. "Well, you have seen us," said Carric- chio ; "we are much the same. We move ourselves — they are moved by wires ; but we do just the same things — we are life and we are art, in the burletta we are both. I often think which is which — which is the imposture and which is the masque. Then I think that somewhere there must be a higher art that surpasses the realism of life — a divine art which is not life but fashions life. "When I look at you, little one," Car- ricchio went on, "I feel almost as I do when the violins break in upon the jar and fret of the wittiest dialogue. Jest and 56 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. lively fancy — these are the sweets of life, no doubt — and humorous thought and speech and gesture — but they are not this divine art, they are not rest. They shrivel and wither the brain. The whole being is parched, the heart is dry in this sultry, piercing light. But when the stringed melodies steal in, and when the rippling, surging arpeggios and crescendos sweep in upon the sense, and the stilled cadences that lull and soothe — then, indeed, it is like moisture and the gracious dew. It is like sleep ; the strained nerves relax ; the over- wrought frame, which is like dry garden mould, is softened, and the flowers spring up again." Carricchio paused ; but as Mark said nothing, he went on again. "The other life is gay, lively, bright, THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 57 full of excitement and interest, of tender pity even, and of love — but this is rest and peace. The other is human life, but what is this ? Art ? Ah ! but a divine art. Here is no struggle, no selfish desire, no striving, no conflict of love or of hate. It is like silence, the most unselfish thing there is. I have, indeed, sometimes thought that music must be the silence of heaven." "The silence of heaven!" said Mark, with open eyes. "The silence of heaven ! What, then, are its words ?" "Ah! that," said the old clown, smiling, but with a sad slowness in his speech, "is beyond me to tell. I can hear its silence, but not its voice." V. The private theatre in the palace was a room of very moderate size, for the audience was necessarily very small ; in fact, the stage was larger than the auditorium. The play took place in the afternoon, and there was no artificial light ; many of the operatic performances in Italy, indeed, took place in the open air. Yet, though the time of day and the natural light deprived the theatre of much of the strangeness and glamour with which it is usually associated, and which so much impress a youth who sees it for the first 60 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. time, the effect of the first performance upon Mark was very remarkable. He was seated immediately behind the Prince. Far from being delighted with the play, he was overpowered as it went on by an in- tense melancholy horror. When the violins, the flutes, and the fifes began the overture, a new sense seemed given to him, which was not pleasure but the intensest dread. If the singing of the Signorina had been a shock to him, accustomed as he was only to the solemn singing of his childhood, what must this elfish, weird, melodious music have seemed, full of gay and careless life, and of artless unconscious airs which yet were miracles of art ? He sat, terrified at these delicious sounds, as though this world of music without thought or conscience were a wicked thing. The shrill notes of THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 6 1 the fifes, the long tremulous vibration of the strings, seemed to draw his heart after them. Wherever this wizard call might lead him it seemed he would have to follow the alluring chords. But when the acting began his terror became more intense. The grotesque figures seemed to him those of devils, or at the best of fantastic imps or gnomes. He could understand nothing of the dia- logue, but the gestures, the laughter, the wild singing, were shocking to him. When the Signorina appeared, the strange intens- ity of her colour, the brilliancy of her eyes, and what seemed to him the freedom of her gestures and the boldness of her be- witching glances, far from delighting, as they seemed to do all the others, made him ready to weep with shame and grief. 62 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. He sank back in his seat to avoid the notice of the Prince, who, indeed, was too much absorbed in the music and the acting to remember him. The beauty of the music only added to his despair ; had it been less lovely, had the acting not forced now and then a glance of admiring wonder or struck a note of high-toned touching pathos even, it would not all have seemed so much the work of evil. When the comedy was over he crept silently away to his room ; and in the excitement of congratulation and praise, as actors and audience mingled together, and the Signorina was receiving the commenda- tions of the Prince, he was not missed. He could not stay in this place — that at least was clear to him. He must escape. He must return to nature, to the woods THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 63 and birds, to children and to children's sports. These gibing grimaces, these end- less bowings and scrapings and false com- pliments, known of all to be false, would choke him if he stayed. He must escape from the house of frivolity into the soft, gracious outer air of sincerity and truth. He cried himself to sleep : all through the night, amid fitful slumber, the crowd of masques jostled and mocked at him ; the weird strains of unknown instruments reached his half-conscious bewildered sense. Early in the morning he awoke. There had been rain in the night, and the smiling morning beckoned him out. He stole down some back stairs, and found a door which opened on gardens and walks at the back of the palace. This he managed to open, and went out. 64 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. The path on which the door opened led him through rows of fruit-trees and young plantations. A little forest of delicate boughs and young leaves lifted itself up against the blue sky, and a myriad drops sparkled in the morning sun. The fresh cool air, the blue sky, the singing of the birds, restored Mark to himself. He seemed to see again the possibility of escape from evil, and the hope of right- eousness and peace. His whole spirit went out in prayer and love to the Almighty, who had made these lovely things. He felt as he had been wont to do when, on a fine Sunday, he had walked home with his children in order, relating to them the most beautiful tales of God. He wandered slowly down the narrow paths. The fresh- turned earth between the rows of saplings, THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 65 the beds of herbs, the moist grass, gave forth a scent at once delicate and searching. The boy's cheerfulness began to return. The past seemed to fade. He almost thought himself the little schoolmaster again. After wandering for some time through this delicious land of perfume, of light, and sweet sound, he came to a very long but narrow avenue of old elm trees that led down a gradual slope, as it seemed, into the heart of the forest. Beneath the avenue a well-kept path seemed to point with a guiding hand. He followed the path for some distance, and had just perceived what seemed to be an old manor-house, standing in a court- yard at the farther end, when he was conscious of a figure advancing along the 66 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. path to meet him : as it approached he saw that it was that of a lady of tall and commanding appearance, and apparently of great beauty ; she wore the dress of some sisterhood. When he was near enough to see her face he found that it was indeed beautiful, with an expression of the purest sincerity and benevolence. The lady stopped and spoke to Mark at once. "You must be the new tutor to their Highnesses," she said ; " I have heard of you." Mark said that he was. "You do not look well," said the lady, very kindly ; " are you happy at the palace." "Are you the Princess Isoline?" said Mark, not answering the question ; "I think you must be, you are so beautiful." THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 67 " I am the Princess Isoline," said the lady ; " walk a little way with me." Mark turned with the lady and walked back towards the palace. After a moment or two he said : "I am not happy at Joyeuse, I am very miserable, I want to run away." "What makes you so unhappy? Are they not kind to you ? The Prince is very kind, and the children are good children — I have always thought." "They are all very kind, too kind to me," said the boy. " I cannot make you understand why I am so miserable, I can- not tell myself — the Prince is worse than all " "Why is the Prince the worst of all ?" said the lady, in a very gentle voice. "All the rest I know are wrong," 68 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. replied the boy, passionately — "the actors, the Signorina, the pages, and all; but when the Prince looks at me with his quiet smile — when the look comes into his eyes as though he could see through time even into eternity — when he looks at me in his kindly, pitying way — I begin to doubt. Oh, Highness, it is terrible to doubt ! Do you think that the Prince is right ? The Princess was silent for a moment or two ; it was not that she did not understand the boy, for she understood him very well. "No, I think you are right and not the Prince," she said at length, in her quiet voice. There was a pause : neither seemed to know what to say next. They had now THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 69 nearly reached the end of the avenue next the palace ; the Princess stopped. "Come back with me," she said, "I will show you my house." They walked slowly along the narrow pathway towards the old house at the farther end. The Princess was evidently considering what to say. " Why do you know that they are all wrong ?" she said at last. " Highness," said the boy after a pause, " I have never lived amongst, or seen anything, since I was born, but what was natural and real — the forest, the fruit-trees in blossom, the gardens, and the flowers. I have never heard anything except of God — of the wretchedness of sin — of beautiful stories of good people. My grandfather, when he was alive, used to 70 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. talk to me, as I sat with him at his char- coal-burning in the forest, of my forefathers who were all honest and pious people. There are not many Princes who can say that." The Princess did not seem to notice this last uncourtly speech. " ' I shall then find all my forefathers in Heaven,' I would say to him," continued Mark. "'Yes, that thou wilt! we shall then be of high nobility. Do not lose this privilege.' If I lose this privilege, how sad that will be ! But here, in the palace, they think nothing of these things — instead of hymns they sing the strangest, wildest songs, so strange and beautiful that I fear and tremble at them as if the sounds were wicked sounds." So talking, the Princess and the boy went THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. J I on- through the lovely wood ; at last they left the avenue and passed into the court- yard of a stately but decayed house. The walls of the courtyard were overgrown with ivy, and trees were growing up against the house and shading some of the windows. The Princess passed on without speaking, and entered the hall by an open door. As they entered, Mark could hear the sound of looms, and inside were several men and women at different machines employed in weaving cloth. The Princess spoke to several, and leading Mark onward she ascended a wide staircase, and reached at last a long gallery at the back of the house. Here were many looms, and girls and men employed in weaving. The long range of lofty windows faced the north, and over the nearer woods could be seen 72 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the vast sweep of the great Thuringian Forest, where Martin Luther had lived and walked. The risen sun was gilding the distant woods. A sense of indescrib- able loveliness and peace seemed to Mark to pervade the place. " How happy you must be here, gracious Highness!" he exclaimed. They were standing apart in one of the windows towards the end of the long room, and the noise of the looms made a continuous murmur that prevented their voices being heard by the others who were near. The Princess looked at Mark for some moments without reply. " I must speak the truth always," she said at last, " but more than ever to such as thou art. I am not happy." THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. J?) The boy looked at her as though his heart would break. " Not happy," he said in a low voice, "and you so good." "The good are not happy," said the Princess, " and the happy are not good." There was a pause ; then the Princess went on : " The people who are with me are good, but they are not happy. They have left the world and its pleasures, but they regret them ; they live in the perpetual consciousness of this self-denial — this fancy that they are serving God better than others are ; they are in danger of be- coming jealous and hypocritical. I warn you never to join a particular society which proposes, as its object, to serve God better than others. You are safer, more in the 74 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. way of serving God in the palace, even amid the singing and the music which seems to you so wicked. They are happy ; they are thoughtless, gay, like the birds. They have at least no dark gloomy thoughts of God, even if they have no thoughts of Him at all. They may be won to Him, nay, they may be nearer to Him now than some who think themselves so good. Since I began this way of life I have heard of many such societies, which have crumbled into the dust with derision, and are remembered only with reproach. Mark stood gazing at the distant forest without seeing it. He did not know what to think. " I do not know why I have told you this," said the Princess; " I had no thought THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 75 of saying such words when I brought you here. I seem to have spoken them with- out willing it. Perhaps it was the will of God." "Why do you go on with this life," said Mark sadly, "if it be not good? The Prince would be glad if you would come back to the palace. He has told me so. It seemed to the boy that life grew more and more sad. It seemed that, baffled and turned back at every turn, there was no reality, no sincere walk anywhere pos- sible. The worse seemed everywhere the better, the children of this world every- where wiser than the children of light. " I cannot go back now," said the Princess. " When you are gone I shall for- get this ; I shall think otherwise. There j6 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. is something in your look that has made me speak like this." " Then are these people really not happy ?" said Mark again. " Why should they be happy ?" said the Princess, with some bitterness in her voice. " They have given up all that makes life pleasant— fine clothes, delicate food, cunning harmonies, love, gay devices, and sports. Why should they be happy ? They have dull work, none to amuse or enliven the long days." " I was very happy in my village out- side the palace gates," said Mark quietly ; " I had none of these things ; I only taught the little peasants, yet I was happy. From morning to night the path was straight before me, — a bright and easy path ; and the end was always light. Now all THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. J J is difficult and strange. Since I passed through the gates with the golden scrolls, which I thought were like the heavenly Jerusalem, all goes crooked and awry ; nothing seems plain and righteous as in the pleasant old days. I have come into an enchanted palace, the air of which I cannot breathe and live ; I must go back." "No, not so," said the Princess, "you are wanted here. Where you were you were of little good. There were at least others who could do your work. Here none can do it but you. They never saw any one like you before. They know it and speak of it. All are changed some- what since you came ; you might, it is true, come to me, but I should not wish it. The air of this house would be worse for you even than that of the palace which you 78 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. fear so much. Besides, the Prince would not be pleased with me." Mark looked sadly before him for some moments before he said : " Even if it be true what you say, still I must go. It is killing me. I wish to do right and good to all ; but what good shall I do if it takes all my strength and life ? I shall ask the Prince to let me go back." "No," said the Princess, "not that — never that. It is impossible, you cannot go back ! " " Cannot go back ! ,! cried Mark. "Why? The Prince is very kind. He will not keep me here to die." "Yes, the Prince is very kind, but he cannot do that ; what is passed can never happen again. It is the children's phrase, THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 79 ' Do it again.' It can never be done again. You have passed, as you say, the golden gates into an enchanted world ; you have known good and evil ; you have tasted of the fruit of the so-called Tree of Life ; you cannot go back to the village. Think." Mark was silent for a longer space this time. His eyes were dim, but he seemed to see afar off. "No," he said at last, "it is true, I cannot go back. The village, and the school, and the children have passed away. I should not find them there, as they were before. If I cannot come to you, there is nothing for me but to die." " The Pagans," said the Princess, " the old Pagans, that knew their gods but dimly, used to say — " The God - beloved die young." It has been said since by Chris- 8o THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. tian men. — Do not be afraid to die. Instead of your form and voice there will be remembrance and remorse ; instead of in- difference and sarcasm there will be con- trition ; in place of thoughtless kindliness a tender love. Do not be afraid to die. The charm is working now; it will increase when sight is changed for memory, and the changeful irritation of time for change- less recollection and regret. The body of the sown grain is transfigured into the flower of a spiritual life, and from the dust is raised a mystic presence which can never fade. Do not be afraid to die." Mark walked slowly back to the palace. He could not think ; he was stunned and bewildered. He wished the Princess Isoline would have let him come to THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 8 1 her. Then he thought all might yet be well. When he reached the palace he found everything in confusion. The Princess and her friend the servente had suddenly arrived. G VI. Later on in the day Mark was told that the Princess wished to see him, and that he must wait upon her in her own apart- ment. He was taken to a part of the palace into which he had hitherto never been ; in which a luxurious suite of rooms was reserved for the Princess w T hen she condescended to occupy them. The most easterly of the suite was a morning sitting- room, which opened upon a balcony or trellised verandah, shaded with jasmine. The room was furnished in a very different style from the rest of the palace. The 84 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. other rooms, though rich, were rather bare of garniture, after the Italian manner — their ornaments consisting of cabinets of inlaid wood and pictures on the walls, with the centre of the room left clear. These rooms on the contrary, were full of small gilt furniture, after the fashion of the French court. Curious screens, depicting strange birds of gaudy plumage, embarrassed Mark as he entered the room. The Prince was seated near a lady who was reclining in the window, and opposite to them was a stranger whom Mark knew must be the Count. The lady was beauti- ful, but with a kind of beauty strange to the boy, and her dress was more wonderful than any he had yet seen, though it was a mere morning robe. She looked curiously at him as he entered the room. THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 85 "This, then," she said, "is the clown who is to educate my children." At this not very encouraging address the boy stopped, and stood silently con- templating the group. The Count was the first who came to his assistance. " The youth is not so bad, Princess," he said. " He has an air of society about him, in spite of his youth." The Prince looked at the Count with a pleased expression. " Do not fear for the children, Adelaide," he said ; " they will fare very well. Their manners are improved already. When they come to Vienna you will see how fine their breeding will be thought to be. Leave them to me. You do not care for them ; leave them to me and to the Herr Tutor." 86 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. Mark was looking at the Count. This was another strange study for the boy. He was older than the Prince — a man of about forty ; more firmly built, and with well-cut but massive features. He wore a peruke of very short, curled hair ; his dress was rich, but very simple ; and his whole appearance and manner suggested curiously that of a man who carried no more weight than he could possibly help, who encumbered himself with nothing that he could throw aside, who offered in every action, speech, and gesture the least possible resistance to the atmosphere, moral, social, or physical, in which he found himself. His manner to the Prince was deferential, without being marked, and he evidently wished to propitiate him. " Thou art very pious, I hear," said the THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. Sj Princess, addressing Mark in a tone of unmitigated contempt. The boy only bowed. "Is he dumb?" said the Princess, still with undisguised disdain. " No," said the Prince quietly. " He can speak when he thinks that what he says will be well received." " He is wise," said the Count. "Well," said the Princess sharply, "my wishes count for nothing ; of that we are well aware. But I do not want my chil- dren to be infected with the superstitions of the past, which still linger among the coarse and ignorant peasantry. I suppose, now, this peasant schoolmaster believes in a God and a hell, and in a heaven for such as he ?" and she threw herself back with a light laugh. 88 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. " No, surely," said the Count blandly, " that were too gross, even for a peasant priest." "Tell me, Herr Tutor," said the Prin- cess ; and now she threw a nameless charm into her manner as she addressed the boy, from whom she wished an answer ; " tell me, dost thou believe in a heaven ?" "Yes, gracious Highness," said Mark. " It has always struck me," said the Prince, with a philosophic air, "that we might leave the poor their distant heaven. Its existence cannot injure us. I have sometimes fancied that they might retort upon me : ' You have everything here that life can wish : we have nothing. You have dainty food, and fine clothes, and learning, and music, and all the fruition that your fastidious fancy craves : we are cold and THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 89 hungry, and ignorant and miserable. Leave us our heaven ! At least, if you do not believe in it, keep silence before us. Our belief does not trouble you ; it takes nothing from the least of your pleasures ; it is all we have.' "When the Prince begins to preach," said the Princess, with scarcely less con- tempt than she had shown for Mark, " I always leave the room." The Count immediately rose and opened a small door leading to a boudoir. The Prince rose and bowed. The Princess swept to the ground before him in an elaborate curtsey, and, looking contempt- uously, yet with a certain amused interest, at Mark, left the room. The Prince resumed his seat, and, lean- ing back, looked from one to the other of his 90 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. companions. He was really thinking with amusement what a so strangely - assorted couple might be likely to say to each other; but the Count, misled by his desire to please the Prince, misunderstood him. He sup- posed that he wished that the conversation which the Princess had interrupted should be continued, and, sitting down, he began aQfain. " I suppose, Herr Tutor," he said, "you propose to train your pupils so that they shall be best fitted to mingle with the world in which they will be called upon to play an important part ?" The Prince motioned to Mark to sit, which he did, upon the edge of an em- broidered couch. "If the serene Highness," he said, " had wished for one to teach his children THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. QI who knew the great world and the cities he would not have sent for me." "What do you teach them, then ?" " I tell them beautiful histories," said Mark, " of good people, and of love, and of God." "It has been proved," said the Count, "that there is no God." " Then there is still love," said the boy. " Yes, there is still love," said the Count, with an amused glance at the Prince ; "all the more that we have eot rid of a cruel God." The boy's face flushed. " How can you dare say that ?" he said. "Why," said the Count, with a simu- lated warmth, "what is the God of you pious people but a cruel God ? He who condemns the weak and the ignorant — the 92 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. weak whom He has Himself made weak, and the ignorant whom He keeps in dark- ness — to an eternity of torture for a trivial and temporary, if not an unconscious, fault ? What is that God but cruel who will not forgive till He has gratified His revenge upon His own Son ? What is that God but cruel But I need not £0 on. The whole thing is nothing but a figment and a dream, hatched in the diseased fancies of half-starved monks dying by inches in caves and deserts, terrified by the ghastly visions of a ruined body and a disordered mind — men so stupid and so wicked that they could not discern the nature of the man whom they professed to take for their God — a man, apparently, one of those rare natures, in advance of their time, whom friends and enemies alike misconceive and THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 93 thwart ; and who die, as He died, helpless and defeated, with a despairing cry to a heedless or visionary God in whom they have believed in vain." As the Count went on, a new and ter- rible phase of experience was passing- through Mark's mind. As the brain con- sists of two parts, so the mind seems dual also. Thought seems at different times to consist of different phases, each of which can only see itself — of a faith that can see no doubt — of a doubt that can conceive of no certainty ; one week exalted to the highest heaven, the next plunged into the lowest hell. For the first time in his life this latter phase was passing through Mark's mind. What had always looked to him as certain as the hills and fields, seemed, on a sudden, shrunken and vanished away. 94 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. His mind felt emptied and vacant; he could not even think of God. It appeared even marvellous to him that anything could have filled this vast fathomless void, much less such a lovely and populous world as that which now seemed vanished as a morning mist. He tried to rouse his energies, to grasp at and to recover his accustomed thoughts, but he seemed fasci- nated ; the eyes of the Count rested on him, as he thought, with an evil glance. He turned faint. But the Prince came to his aid. He was looking across at the Count with a sort of lazy dislike ; as one looks at a stuffed reptile or at a foul but caged bird. " Thou art soon put down, little one," he said, with his kindly, lofty air. "Tell him all this is nothing to thee ! That disease THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 95 and distraction never created anything. That nothing lives without a germ of life. Tell the Count that thou art not careful to answer him — that it may be as he says. Tell him that even were it so — that He of whom he speaks died broken-hearted in that despairing cry to the Father who He thought had deserted Him — tell the Count thou art still with Him! Tell him that if His mission was misconceived and perverted, it was because His spirit and method was Divine ! Tell the Count that in spite of failure and despair, nay, per- chance — who knows ? — because even of that despair, He has drawn all men to Him from that cross of His as He said. Tell the Count that He has ascended to His Father and to thy Father, and, alone among the personalities of the world's 96 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. story, sits at the right hand of God ! Tell him this, he will have nothing to reply." And, as if to render reply impossible, the Prince rose and, calling to his spaniel, who came at his gesture from the sunshine in the window, he struck a small Indian gong upon the table, and the pages draw- ing back the curtains of the ante-chamber, he left the room. The Count looked at the boy with a smile. Mark's face was flushed, his eyes sparkling and full of tears. "Well, Herr Tutor," said the Count not unkindly, "dost thou say all that ?" " Yes," said the boy, " God helping me, I say all that !" " Thou might'st do worse, Tutor," said the Count, "than follow the Prince." And he too left the room. VII. The arrival of the Princess very much increased the gaiety and activity of life within the palace. Every one became impressed with the idea that the one thing necessary was to entertain her. The actors set to work to prepare new plays, new spectacles ; the musicians to compose new combinations of quaint notes ; the poets new sonnets on strange and, if possible, new conceits. As the Princess was very difficult to please, and as it was almost impossible to conceive anything which appeared new to her jaded intellect, the ii 98 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER .MARK. difficulty of the task caused any idea that promised novelty to be seized upon with a desperate determination. The most favourite one still continued to be the proposition that Mark should be induced, by fair means or foul, to take a part upon the stage. His own character — the role which he instinctively played — was so ab- solutely original and fresh that the universal opinion was confident of the success of such a performance. " By some means or other," said old Carricchio, "he must be got to act." " You may do what you will with him," said the Signorina sadly ; " he will die. He is too good to live. Like my little brother and the poor canary, he will die." In pursuit, then, of this ingenious plan, the Princess was requested to honour with THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 99 her presence a performance of a hitherto unknown character, to be given in the palace gardens. She at first declined, saying that she had seen everything that could be performed so often that she was sick of such things, and that each of their vaunted and promised novelties proved more stale and dull than its precursor. It was therefore necessary to let her know something of what was proposed ; and no sooner did she understand that Mark was to be the centre round which the play turned, than she entered into the plot with the greatest zeal. It is, perhaps, not strange that to such a woman Mark's character and personality offered a singular novelty and even charm. The thought of triumphing over this child- like innocence, of contrasting it with the IOO THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. licence and riot which the play would offer, struck her jaded curiosity with a sense of delicious freshness, and she took an eager delight in the arrangement and contrivance of the scenes. In expansion of the idea suggested by some of the wonderful theatres in Italy, where the open-air stage extended into real avenues and thickets, it was decided that the entire play should be represented in the palace gardens : and that, in fact, the audience should take part in the action of the drama. This, where the whole household was theatrical, and where the actors were trained in the Italian comedy, which left so much to the improvisatore — to the individual taste and skill of the actor — was a scheme not difficult to realise. The palace garden, which was very THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. IOI large, was disposed in terraces and hedges ; it was planted with numerous thickets and groves, and, wherever the inequalities of the ground allowed it, with lofty banks of thick shrubs crowned with young trees, beneath which were arranged statues and fountains in the Italian manner. The hedges were cut into arcades and arches, giving free access to the retired lawns and shady nooks ; and these arcades, and the lofty groves and terraces, gave a constant sense of mystery and expectation to the scene. The ample lawns and open spaces afforded more than one suitable stage, upon which the most important scenes of a play might be performed. Beneath one of the highest and most important banks, which stretched in a per- fectly straight line across the garden, planted 102 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. thickly with flowering shrubs and fringed at the top with a long line of young trees, whose delicate foliage was distinct against the sky, was placed the largest of the fountains. It was copied from that in the Piazza Santa Maria in Transtevere in Rome, and was ornamented with great shells, fish, and Tritons. On either side of the fountain, and leading to the terrace at the back, were nights of marble steps, with wide-stretching stone bases upon either side towering above the grass. In front of the fountain and of the steps, beyond a belt of greensward, were long hedges planted in parallel rows, and connected in arches and arcades, crossing and re- crossing each other in an intricate maze, so that a large company, wandering through their paths, might suddenly appear and THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. IO3 disappear. Beyond the hedges the lawn stretched out again, broken by flowerbeds and statues, and fringed by masses of foliage and lofty limes. A sound of falling water was heard on all sides ; and, by mysterious contrivance of concealed mechanism, flute and harp music sounded from the depths of the bosky groves. Mark knew little of what was going on. He occupied himself mostly with his young pupils ; but the conversation he had had with the Princess Isoline had troubled his mind, and a sense of per- plexity and of approaching evil weighed upon his spirits and affected his health. He, who had never known sickness in his peasant life, now, when confined to a life so unnatural and artificial, so out of har- 104 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. mony with his mind and soul, became listless and weak in body, and haunted by fitful terrors and failings of consciousness. He knew that some extraordinary prepara- tions were being made ; but he was not spoken to upon the subject, and paid little attention to what was going on. Indeed, had he been in the least of a suspicious nature, the entire absence of solicitation or interference might have led him to suspect some secret machination against his sim- plicity and peace, some contrived treachery at work ; but no such idea crossed his mind, he occupied himself with his own melancholy thoughts and with the histories and parables which he related to his pupils. On the morning of the day fixed for the performance, then, things being in this condition, Mark rose carl)'. He had been THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. IO5 informed that it was necessary that he should wear his best court- suit, which we have seen was of black silk with white bands and ruffles. He gave his pupils a short lesson, but their thoughts were so much occupied by the expectation of the coming festivity that he soon released them and wandered out into the gardens alone. The performance of the play had been fixed for noon. The day was bright and serene. The gardens were brilliant with colour and sweet with the perfume of flowers and herbs. Strains of mysterious harmony from secret music startled the wanderer along the paths. Mark strayed listlessly through the more distant groves. He was distressed and dissatisfied with himself. His spirit seemed to have lost its happy elasticity, his mind 106 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. its active joyousness. The things which formerly delighted him no longer seemed to please, even the loveliness of nature was unable to arouse him. He found himself envying those others who took so much real delight, or seemed to him to do so, in fantastic and frivolous music and jest and comic sport. He began to wonder what this new surprising play — these ela- borately prepared harmonies — these swells and runs and shakes — might prove to be. Then he hated himself for this envy — for this curiosity. He wished to return to his old innocence — his old simplicity. But he felt that this could never be. As the Princess had told him, whatever in after years he might become, never would he taste this delight of his child's nature again. He was inexpressibly sad and depressed. THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 107 As he wandered on, not knowing where he went, and growing almost stupid, and indifferent even to pain, he found himself suddenly surrounded by a throng of danc- ing and laughing girls. It was easy, in this magic garden, to steal unobserved upon any one amid the bosky hedges and arcades ; but to surprise one so abstracted as the dreamy and listless boy required no effort at all. With hands clasped and mocking laughter they surrounded the unhappy Mark. They were masqued, with delicate bits of fringed silk across the eyes, but had they not been so he was too confused to have recognised them. He tried in vain to escape. Then he was lifted from the ground by a score of hands and borne rapidly away.

He was standing on a circular space of lawn, surrounded by the lofty wood. In the centre was an antique statue of a faun playing upon a flute. He seemed to re- cognise the scene, but could not in his confusion recall in what part of the vast garden it lay. As he stood, lost in wonder and expec- tation, a fairy -like figure was suddenly present before him, from whence coming he could not tell. The slim and delicate form was dressed in a gossamer robe, through which the lovely limbs might be THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. IO9 seen. She held a light masque in her hand, and laughed at him with her dancing eyes and rosy mouth. It was the little Princess, his pupil. Even now no thought of plot or treach- ery entered the boy's mind ; he gazed at her in wondering amaze. "You must come with me," said the girl-princess, holding out her hand ; " I am sent to fetch you to the under world." Behind them as they stood, and facing the statue of the faun, was a cave or hollow in the wood, half concealed by the pendant tendrils of creeping and flowering plants. It seemed the opening of a subterranean passage. The child pushed aside the hanging blossoms and drew Mark, still dazed and unresisting, after her. They went down into the dark cave. IIO THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. -.:- Meanwhile from early dawn the palace had been noisy with pattering feet. For its bizarre population was augmented from many sources, and the great performance of the day taxed the exertions of all. As the morning advanced visitors began to arrive, and were marshalled to certain parts of the gardens where positions were allotted them, and refreshments served in tents. They were mostly masqued. Then strange groups began to form themselves before the garden front of the palace, and on the terraces. These were all masqued, and dressed in variety of incongruous and fantastic costumes, for though the play was supposed to be classical, yet the necessity of entertaining the Princess with something THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. I I I startling and lively was more exacting than artistic congruity. As we have seen, the Prince had always inclined more to the fairy and masqued comedy than to the serious opera, and on this occasion the result was more original and fantastic than had ever before been achieved. As the morning went on, there gradually arranged itself, as if by fortuitous incident, as strange a medley of fairy mediaeval legend and of classic lore as eye ever looked upon. As the Prince and Princess, surrounded by their principal guests, all masqued and attired in every shade of colour and diver- sity of form, stood upon the steps before the palace, the wide gardens seemed full of groups equally varied and equally brilliant with their own. From behind the green screens of the hedges, and from beneath TI2 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the arcades, figures were constantly emerg- ing and passing again out of sight, apparently accidentally, but in fact with a carefully-devised plan. Strains of delicate music filled the air. Then a group of girls in misty drapery, and masqued across the eyes, the same indeed that had carried off Mark, appeared suddenly before the princely group. They had discovered in the deepest dell of their native mountain a deserted babe — the offspring doubtless of the loves of some wandering god. They were become its nurses, and fed it upon sacred honey and consecrated bread. Of immortal birth themselves, and untouched by the passing years, the boy became, as he grew up, the plaything, and finally the beloved of his beautiful friends. But the boy himself is THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. I 1 3 indifferent to their attractions, and careless or averse to their caresses. He is often lost to them, and wanders in the mountain fastnesses with the fawns and kids. All this and more was told in action, in song, and recitative, upon the palace lawns before this strange audience, themselves partly actors in the pastoral drama. Rural dances, and games and sacrifices were pre- sented with delicately -conceived grouping and pictorial effect. Then the main action of the drama developed itself. The most lovely of the nymphs, the queen and leader of the rest, inspires a devoted passion in the heart of the priest of Apollo, before whose altar they offer sacrifice, and listen for guiding and response. She rejects his love with cruel contempt, pining always for the coy and errant boy-god, who thinks of 114 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. nothing but the distant mountain summits and the divine whispers of the rustling woods. The priest, insulted and enraged, invokes the aid of his divinity, and a change comes over the gay and magic scene. A terrible pestilence strikes down the inhabitants of these sylvan lawns, and gloomy funerals, and the pathetic strains of dirges take the place of dances and lively songs. The terrified people throw themselves before the altar of the incensed Apollo, and the god speaks again. His anger can be appeased only by the sacrifice of the con- temptuous nymph who has insulted his priest, or of some one who is willing to perish in her place. Proclamation is made across the sunny lawns, inviting a victim who will earn the wreath of self-sacrifice THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. I 1 5 and of immortal consciousness of a great deed, but there is no response. The fatal day draws on ; the altar of sacrifice is prepared ; but there spreads a rumour among the crowd — fanned probably by hope — that at the last moment a god will interfere. Some even speak of the wandering boy, if he could only be found. Surely he — so removed from earthly and selfish loves, so strange in his simplicity, in his purity — surely he would lay down his guileless life without a pang. Could he only be found ! or would he appear ! The herald's voice had died away for the third time amid a fanfare of trumpets. At the foot of the steps of the long terrace, by the Roman fountain, a delicate and lovely form stood on the grassy verge before the altar, by the leaping and rushing I 1 6 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. water's side; a little to the left, whence the road from Hades was supposed to come, stood the divine messenger, the lofty herald — clad in white, with a white wand ; behind the altar stood the wretched priest, on whom the fearful task devolved, the passion of terror, of pity, and of love, traced upon his face ; all sound of music had died away ; a hush as of death itself fell upon the expectant crowd ; from green arch and trellised walk the throng of masques, actors and spectators alike, pressed forward upon the lawn before the altar. . . . The priest tore the fillet from his brow and threw down his knife. 5JC ¥fc ifc 7|fr TJf The darkness of the cave gave place to a burst of dazzling sunlight as Mark and the little Princess, who in the darkness THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 11/ had resumed her masque, came out suddenly from the unseen opening upon one of the great stone bases by the side of the steps. To the boy's wonderstruck sense the flar- ing light, the mystic and awful forms, the thronged masques, the shock of surprise and terror, fell with a stunning force. He uttered a sharp cry like that of a snared and harmless creature of the woods. He pressed his hands before his face to shut out the bewildering scene, and, stepping suddenly backward in his surprise, fell from the edge of the stone platform some eight feet to the ground. A cry of natural terror broke from the victim, in place of the death-song she was expected to utter, and she left her place and sprang forward towards the steps. The crowd of masques which surrounded the Prince came forward Il8 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. tumultuously, and a hurried movement and cry ran through the people, half of whom were uncertain whether the settled order of the play was interrupted or not. Mark lay quite still on the grass, his eyes closed, the Signorina bending over him ; but the herald, who was in fact director of the play, waved his wand im- periously before the masques, and they fell back. " Resume your place, Signorina," he said, " this part of the play has, apparently, failed. You will sing your death -song, and the priest will offer himself in your stead." But the girl rose, and, forcing her way to where the Prince stood, threw herself upon his arm. "Oh, stop it, Highness, stop it!" she THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. II9 cried, amid a passion of sobs; "he is dying, do you not see ! " The Prince removed his masque ; those around him, following the signal, also unmasqued, and the play was stopped. THE END. Printed by R. & R. Clark, Edinburgh. THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. Si Spiritual Eomance* PART SECOND. I. There was no change in the bright sun- light or in the festive colours of the gay crowd. The grass was as green, the sky * as blue, the rushing leaping water sparkled as before, nevertheless a sudden change and deadness fell upon the garden and its throng of guests. The hush that had pre- ceded Mark's appearance was of a far different kind. That had been a silence K 122 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. of awe, of expectation, of excitement, and of life ; this was the scared silence of dis- may. Those who were most distant from the Prince, and who could do so with decency, began to scatter like frightened children, and were lost in the arcaded hedges and walks. The Prince remained standing, his masque in his hand, the Sig- norina still weeping on his arm ; she was too excited to admit of comfort, he stroked her hand kindly, as he would that of a child. The Herald, who was evidently exceedingly disgusted at the turn things had taken, and the quite unnecessary stop that had been put to the play, had retired a few paces, and was in conference with Carricchio, who was apparently trying to console him. The Princess, scared and startled, was drawing the Count after her THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 23 to leave the scene, when a tall and beauti- ful woman emerged from a trellised walk and, through the respectful crowd that fell back to give her passage, advanced towards the Prince. "You may resume your play, Ferdi- nand," she said, and her voice was very sad but without a touch of scorn ; " you may resume your play. It is not you who have killed this child ; it is I." Then, stooping over the lifeless body, she raised it in her arms, and, in the midst of a yet more perfect stillness, as in the presence of a being of a holier and a loftier world, the Princess Isoline disappeared with her burden into the forest depths. She followed the path under the narrow avenue, where she had once walked with Mark, till she reached her quiet and melan- 124 TIIE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. choly house ; and, entering at once into the hall, she deposited her burden upon the lone: table, where the household was wont to dine. She laid it with the feet at one end of the board, and, straightening the stiffening limbs, she knelt down before it and buried her face in her hands. " The good are not happy, and the happy are not good" — was she then good because she was so miserable ? Ah no ! Or was this wretchedness a wicked thing ? Again, surely not ! As she lay thus, crushed and beaten down, her form contorted with sobs, a quiet footstep roused her, and, raising her eyes, she saw the Prince through her blinding tears. He was standing by the table, near the head of the child. His face was very pale, and the eyes had lost the habitual THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 25 languor of their expression, and were full of an earnest tender grief. The Princess rose, and they looked each other straight in the eyes. Through the mist of tears the Prince's form became refined and puri- fied, and he stood there with a beauty hitherto altogether unknown, even to her. 11 1 told this child, Isoline," he said ; " I told this child that I had done well to send for him." "Ferdinand," she said again, "it is not you who have done this ; it is I." She stopped for a moment to recover control, and went on more passionately — " I, who pretended to the devoted life ! in which alone he could breathe ; I, to whom he looked for help and strength ; I, who deserted him and gave a false report of the promised land." 126 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. The Prince looked at her with eyes lull of compassion, but did not reply. "You did what you could," continued his sister ; " your effort was surely a noble one. More, in fact ; you came to the help of his faith against evil. It is always so! The children of the world act always better than the children of light !" In her self-abasement and despair the Princess did not remember Mark's words, that the greatest trial of his faith had been the Prince : a tolerance which is kindly and even appreciative, and yet, as with a clearness of a farther insight stands indif- ferently aside, must always be the great trial of simple faith. "It is easier, Isoline," said her brother at last, " to maintain a low standard than a high. It seems to me that we have both THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 12J been wrong, but yours is the nobler fault. You attempted an impossible flight — a flight which human nature has no wings strong enough to achieve. As for me, this has been a terrible shock — more than I could have thought possible, I who fancied myself so secure and so serene. That such a terrible chance could happen shows how unstable are the most finished schemes of life. I fancied that my life was an art, and I dreamed that it might be perfected — as a religious art. Fool that I was ! How can life or religion be an art when the merest accident can dis- solve the entire fabric at a blow ? No art can exist in the presence of an impalpable mystery, of an unknown, inappeasable, im- placable Force." "No," said the Princess; "art is not 128 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. enough ! — morality, virtue, love even, is not enough. None of these can pierce the veil. Nothing profits, save the Divine Humanity, which, through the mystery of Sacrifice, has entered the unseen. You know, Ferdinand," and she looked up through her tears with a sad smile, " in your art there was always in old times a mystery." She rose as she said this, and stood more lovely than ever in her grief and in her faith ; and the Prince moved a step for- ward, and put his hand upon the breast of the child. As they stood, looking each other full in the eyes, in the notorious beauty of their order and of their race, it might have seemed to a sanguine fancy that, over the piteous victim of earth's failure, art and religion for the moment were at one. II. The pleasure Palace was deserted. Mark was buried in a shadowy graveyard behind the old manor-house, where was a ruined chapel that had been a canonry. The Princess Isoline gave up her house, and dissolved her family. They were scattered to their several homes. She said that her place was by her brother's side. It would seem that none were sorry for some excuse. The Prince could no longer endure the place ; he said that he had neglected his princely cities, and must visit them for a time. The Signorina was inconsolable, but I30 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. her singing improved day by day. The Maestro began to have hopes of her. He wrote to Vienna concerning an engagement for her at the Imperial Theatre there, with- out even consulting the Prince, who for the moment was disgusted with the very name jf art. Old Carricchio said that the north- ern sunshine was more intolerable than ever, and that he should return to Italy, but would take Vienna in his way. It might be supposed that this old man would have been much distressed, but, if this were the case, he concealed his feelings with his usual humorous eccentricity. He spent most of his time listening to Tina's singing. Even the Maestro and the pages seemed to miss Mark more. In the general disorganisation and con- fusion the Princess even was not entirely THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 3 1 unaffected. She was continually speaking of Mark, whose singular personality had struck her fancy, and whose sudden and pathetic death had touched her with pity. She appeared unusually affectionate to her husband and to his sister, and she de- spatched the Count to secure a residence in Vienna, where she expressed her inten- tion of taking the entire family as soon as the Prince had satisfied his newly-awakened conscience by a sight of Wertheim. The children were delighted with the thought, and were apparently consoled for the ab- sence of their tutor. Perhaps already his tales had begun to tire. The Maestro and Carricchio were walk- ing side by side upon the terrace where Mark was used to sit. " I shall make a sensation at Vienna," 132 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER .MARK. said the Maestro ; " that little girl is grow- ing into an impassioned actress with a marvellous voice. I have an idea. I have already arranged the score. I shall throw this story into the form of opera — a serious opera, not one of your farcical things. It is a charming story, most pathetic, and will make people cry. That boy's character was exquisite : ' Ah,' they will say, ' that lovely child !' " " I don't understand your pathos," said Carricchio crossly, — "the pathos of com- posers and writers and imaginative men. It is all ideal. You talk of farce, I prefer the jester's farce. I never knew any of you to weep over any real misery — any starving people, any loathsome, sordid poor!" " I should think not," said the Maestro; " there is nothing delightful in real misery THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. I 33 — it is loathsome, as you say ; it is horrible, it is disagreeable even ! Art never con- templates the disagreeable ; it would cease to be true art if it did. But when you are happy yourself, when you are surrounded by comfort and luxury — then to contemplate misery, sorrow, woe ! Ah ! this is the height of luxury : this is art ! Yes, true art!" "It seems selfish, to me," said the Arlecchino surlily. " Selfish !" exclaimed the Maestro ; " of course it is selfish! Unless it is selfish it cannot be art. Art has an end, an aim, an intention — if it deserts this aim it ceases to be art. It must be selfish." There was a slight pause, then the Maestro, who seemed to be in great spirits, went on : 134 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. " I always thought the Prince a poor creature, now I am sure of it. He is neither one thing nor the other. He will never be an artist, in the true sense." " He is very sorry for that poor child," said Carricchio. "Sorry ! " exclaimed the Maestro. "Sorry ! I tell you when the canary died I was de- lighted, but I am still more delighted now. I predict to you a great future for the Signorina. She will be a great actress and singer. The death of this child is everything to us ; it was just what was required to give her power, to stir the depths of her nature. Mio caro" he con- tinued caressingly, putting his hand on Carricchio's arm, " believe me, this is life, and this is art ! " " He is a cold-blooded old devil," mut- THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 35 tered Carricchio savagely, as he turned away, " with his infernal talk of art. I would not 2fo to Vienna with him but for the Signorina. I will see her once upon the stage there. Then the old worn-out Arlecchino will go back into the sunshine, and die, and go to Mark." III. The Maestro's romantic opera was a suc- cess. He was at least so far a p;enius that he knew where he was strong and where he was weak. He reproduced with great exactness the play in the palace gardens, but he kept the person and character of Mark enshrouded in mystery, allowing him to appear very seldom, and trusting entirely to the sing- ing of the principal performers, and espe- cially of the Signorina, to impress the audience with the idea of his purity and innocence. He surpassed himself in the L I38 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. intense wistful music of the score ; never had he produced such pathetic airs, such pleading sustained harmonies, such quiver- ing lingering chords and cadences. At the supreme moment the boy appears, and, after singing with exquisite melody his hapless yet heroic fate, offers his bosom to the sacrificial knife. But a god intervenes. Veiled in cloud and recognised in thunders, a divine and merciful hand is laid upon the child. Death comes to him as a sleep, and over his dead and lovely form the anger of heaven is appeased. Incapable as the Maestro was of feelincr much of the pathos and beauty of his own work, still, with that wonderful instinct, or art, or genius, which supplies the place of feeling, he produced, amid much that was gro- tesque and incongruous, a work of delicate THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 39 touch and thrilling and entrancing sound. The little theatre near the Kohl market, where the piece was first produced, was crowded nightly, and the narrow thorough- fares through private houses and court- yards, called Durch-hauser, with which the extraordinary and otherwise impene- trable maze of building which formed old Vienna was pierced through and through, were filled with fine and delicate ladies and gay courtiers seeking admission. So great, indeed, was the success that an arrangement was made with the conductors of the Imperial Theatre for the opera to be performed there. The Empress-Queen and her husband were present, the frigid silence of etiquette was broken more than once by applause, and the Abate Metas- tasio wrote some lines for the Signorina ; I40 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. indeed, the success of the piece was caused by the girl's singing. " Mark is better than the canary," the Maestro was continually repeating. In his hour of triumph the old gentle- man presented a quaint and attractive study to the observer of the by-ways of art. Amid the rococo surroundings among which he moved, he was himself a singular example of the power of art to extract from bizarre and unpromising material somewhat at least of pure and lasting fruit. He had attired his withered and lean figure in brilliant hues and the finest lace, and in this attire he trained the girl, also fantastically dressed, to warble the most touching and delicious plaints. The in- stinctive pathos of inanimate things, of forms and colours, was perceived in sound, THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. I41 and much that hitherto seemed paltry and frivolous was refined and ennobled. Mark's death, and even that of the poor canary, was beginning to bear fruit. Nature and love were feeling out the enigma of exist- ence by the aid of art. The reference to the canary was not, indeed, made in the presence of Tina, for the Maestro found that it was not accept- able. Nevertheless, a strange fellowship and affection was springing up between these two. The critics complained that the Signorina varied her notes; but, in fact, the score of the opera never remained the same — at least as regarded her parts. As she sang, with the Maestro beside her at the harpsichord, imagination and recollec- tion, instructed by the magic of sound, touched her notes with an unconscious I42 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. pathos and revealed to her master, with his ready pencil in one hand and the other on the keys, fresh heights and depths of cultured harmony, new combinations of fluttering, melodious notes. This copartnership, this action and reaction, had something wonderful and charming about it ; the power of nature in the girl's voice suggesting possibilities of more melodious, more artistic pathos to the composer, the girl's passionate instinct recognising the touch, and confessing the help, of the master's skill. It seems a strange duet, yet I do not know that we should think it strange. The girl's nature, pure and loving, was supremely moved by the discovery of this power of realisation and expression which it had obtained; but at times it frightened her. THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 43 " I hate all this," she would cry some- times, starting away from the harpsichord ; "they are dead and cold, and I sing!" " Sine ! mia cava ! " the old man would say, with, for him, a soft and kindly tone ; " you cannot help but sing : and when did love and sorrow feel so near and real to you as when, just now, you sang that phrase in F minor ? " " It is wicked!" said the girl ; but she sang over again, to the perfect satisfaction of her master, the phrase in F minor. "It is true," she said, after a pause. "I knew not how to love — I knew not what love was till I learned to sing from you. Every day I learn more what love is ; I feel every hour more able to love — I love you more and more for teaching me the art of love." 144 Tf IE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. "Ah, mia cava'' said the Maestro, " that was not difficult ! You were born with that gift. But it is strange to me, I confess it, how pathetically you sing. It is not in the music — at any rate, not in my music. It is beyond my art and even strange to it, but it touches even me." And the old man shrugged his shoulders with an odd gesture, in which something like self- contempt struggled with an un- accustomed emotion. The girl had turned half round, and was looking at him with her bright, yet wistful eyes. " Never mind, Maestro," she said ; " I shall love you always for your music, in spite of your contempt of love, and your miserable, cold " And she gave a little shudder. She THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 45 was forming, indeed, a passionate regard for the old man, solely for the sake of his art. It was not by any means the first time that such an event had occurred, for un- selfish love is much more common than cynical mankind believes. IV. The Prince soon grew tired of Wertheim. Apart from other reasons, of which per- haps we may learn something hereafter, he felt lost without the accustomed entourage which he had attracted to Joyeuse. The death of Mark had made a profound impres- sion upon his delicately strungtemperament. It disturbed the lofty serenity^ of his life, it shocked his taste, it was bad art. That such a thing could have happened to him in the very citadel and arcanum of his carefully designed existence — and should have happened, too, as the result of his own 1 4$ THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. individual purpose and action — arrested him as with an archangel's sword ; showed him forcibly that his delicately woven mail was deficient in some important, but as yet unperceived, point ; that his fanci- fully conceived prince -life was liable to sudden catastrophe. He had lived deli- cately, but the bitterness of death was not passed. He left Wertheim, and, travelling with his children and servants in several carriages and chaises de ftoste, he journeyed to Vienna, whither the Princess had pre- ceded him. The Prince travelled alone in a carrosse- coupe, or travelling chaise, at the head of his party. The Barotin and the children followed him in the second carriage, which was full of toys for their entertainment ; now and a^ain one or the other would be THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 49 promoted for a stage or two to their father's carriage, to remain there as long as they entertained him. After a time they en- tered upon the flat plains of the Danube and approached Vienna. As they crossed the flat waste of water meadows, over the long bridges of boats, and through the rows of poplars, a drive usually so dreary to travellers to Vienna, the sun broke out gloriously and the after- noon became very fine. For many miles before him, over the monotonous waste, the great tower of St. Stephen's Church had confronted the Prince, crowned with its gigantic eagle and surrounded by wheeling flocks of birds — cranes and ravens and daws. Herons and storks rose now and again from the ditches and pools by the wayside and flitted across 15O THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the road. The brilliant light shone upon the mists of the river and upon the distant cra^s and woods. The Prince was alone ; the children were tired and restless from the long journey, and were sent back to the long- suffering Barotin. He lay back upon the rich furs which filled the carriage, and kept his eyes listlessly fixed upon the distant tower. The descending sun lighted up the weather-stains and the vari-coloured mosses that covered its sides ; a rainbow, thrown across the black clouds of the north and east, spanned the heavens with a lofty arch. The Prince gazed wearily over the striking scene. Existence appeared to him, at the moment, extremely compli- cated. THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 151 " It was a terrible mistake," he said, his thoughts still running on the old disaster ; "a terrible mistake! Yet they cannot be right — Isoline and the people with her — who talk of nothing but sacrifice and self- denial, and denounce everything by which life is not only made endurable, but by which, indeed, it is actually maintained in being. What would life be if every one were as they? 'Ah!' she says, ' there is little chance of that ! So few think of aught save self! So few deny themselves for the sake of others, you need not grudge' us few our self- chosen path.' That is where they make the fatal mistake. Each man should carve out his life, as a whole, as though the lives of all were perfect, not as if it were a broken fragment of a fine statue ; each should be a perfect Apollo of 152 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. the Belvedere Gardens, not a mere torso ; not a strong arm only that can strike, not a finger only that can beckon — even though it be to God. Because all cannot enjoy them, does that make assorted colour, and sweet sound, and delicate pottery less perfect, less worthy to be sought ? He should aim at the complete life — should love, and feel, and enjoy." The great tower rose higher and higher above the Prince as he thought these last words aloud ; the screaming kites and claws wheeled above his head ; the great eaofle loomed larger and larger in the evening light. They passed over the wide glacis, threaded the drawbridges and barriers, and entered the tortuous narrow streets. A golden haze lighted the crowded thoroughfares and beautified the THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 53 carving and gables of the lofty houses. A motley crowd of people, from east and west alike, in strange variety of costume, thronged the causeways, and hardly escaped the carriage-wheels in their reck- less course. The sight roused the Prince from his melancholy, and he gazed with an amused and even delighted air from his carriage -windows. His nature, pleasure- loving and imaginative, found this moving life a source of never- tiring interest and suggestiveness. The fate, the interests, the aims, and sorrows of every human figure that passed across his vision, even for a second, formed itself in some in- finitely slight, yet perfectly real and tan- gible, degree in his mind; and he conceived the stir and tremor of a great city's life with a perfect grasp of all the little de- M 154 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. tails that make up the dramatic, the graphic whole. The carriage swept through the Place St. Michael, past the Imperial Palace, and, pursuing its course through the winding streets to the imminent peril of the populace of Croats, Servians, Germans, and a mixed people of no nation under heaven, reached the Hotel which had been selected for the Prince in the Tein quarter. Though this quiet quarter is in close neighbourhood to the most busy and noisy- parts of the city, the contrast was striking. The Prince saw nothing here but quaint palaces crowded together within a space of a few hundred yards. Here were the palaces of the Lichtensteins, the Festetics, the Esterhazys, the Schonbornes. Antique escutcheons were hanging before the THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 55 houses, and strange devices of the golden fleece, and other crests and bearings were erected on the gables and roofs. Vienna was emphatically the city of heraldry, and a tendency towards Oriental taste in noble and burgher produced a fantastic architec- ture of gables and minarets, breaking the massive lines of fortress -like mediaeval palace and hotel. Here and there a carriage was standing in the quiet street, and servants in gaudy liveries stood in the sunshine about the steps and gates. The next morning the Prince was seated at his toilette, in the hands of his dresser, who was frizzling and powdering his hair. By his side was standing his valet or body- servant, as he would be called in England ■ — Chasseur or Jciger, as he was called in North or South Germany. This man was I56 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. one of the most competent of his order, and devoted to his master. " Well, Karl," the Prince was saying, with his kindly air, "thou breathest again here, I doubt not. This place is more to thy mind than Joyeuse — fCest ce pas? There is life here and intrigue. It is better even than Rome ? Is it so ?" " Wherever the Serene Highness is," re- plied Karl graciously, " I am content and happy. I was happy in Rome, in Joyeuse, at Wertheim ; but I confess that I like Wien. There is colour here, and quaint- ness, and esprit. " Karl had picked up many art terms with the rest of the princely household. " Ah ! Wertheim ! " said the Prince, rather sadly as it seemed. " I like Wertheim, ah ! so much — for a day or two. THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 57 One is so great a man there. I know every one, and every one knows me. I feel almost like a beneficent Providence, and as though I had discovered the perfection of art in life. When I walk in the garden avenue after dinner, between the statues, and every one has right of audience and petition, and one old woman begs that her only son may be excused from military service, and another that her stall in the market may not be taken away; and one old man's house is burnt down, and he wants help to rebuild it, and another craves right of wood-gathering in the princely forests, and another begs that his son may be enrolled among the under- keepers and beaters of the game, with right of snaring a hare, — and all these things are so easy to grant, and seem to 158 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. these poor folks so gracious, and like the gifts of heaven, that one thinks for the moment that this must be the perfection of life. But it palls, Karl ; in a day or two it palls ! The wants and sufferings of the poor are so much alike ; they want variety, they are so deficient in shade, they are such poor art ! " and the Prince sighed wearily. "That is natural for the Serene Hioh- ness," said Karl, with a sympathising pity which was amusing ; " that is natural to the Serene Highness, who does not see below the surface, and to whom all speak with bated breath. There is plenty of light and shade in the lives of the poor, if you go deep enough." " Ah ! " said the Prince with interest, " is it so ? Doubtless now, within a few yards THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 59 of us, there are art-scenes enacted, tragedies and comedies going on, of which you know the different roles — one of which, maybe, you fill yourself. Eh, Karl ? " " It is a great city, Highness," said Karl. " They are all alike, good and ill, love and hatred, the knave and the fool. All the world over, it is much the same." At this moment, the hair- powdering being over, the Prince rose. " Well," he said, " to-night the Signorina sings at the Imperial Theatre. She and the Maestro sup with me afterwards. The Princess sups at the Palace." V. It is difficult at the present day to realise such scenes as that presented by the Im- perial Theatre during the performance that evening. The comparative smallness of the interior and dimness of the lights, combined with the incomparable splendour and richness in the appearance of the audience which filled every portion of the theatre, even to the gallery of the servants, with undiminished brilliancy, produced an effect of subdued splendour and of a mys- tic glow of colour which we should look for in vain in any theatre in Europe now. 1 62 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. The Empress-Queen and her husband occupied a central box, and the Court, graduated according to rank, and radiat- ing from this centre, filled boxes, pit, and gallery. The Prince's box was on the royal tier, not far from the Empress. He was accompanied by the Princess and his sister. " I am delighted with Isoline," the Princess said ; " that poor child's death has worked wonders upon her in a way no one would have expected. She seems to have thrown off her singular fancies, and behaves as other people do." " Isoline never was very easy to under- stand," said the Prince. Whether or not she were inspired by the presence of the Prince, the Signorina had never sung so wonderfully as she did THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 63 that night. The frigid silence of Imperial etiquette, so discouraging and chilling to southern artists, gave place, now and again, to an irrepressible murmur of emo- tion and applause. The passionate yearn- ing of the purest love, the pathos of unselfish grief, found a fit utterance in notes of an inimitable sweetness, and in melodies whose dainty phrases were en- nobled and mellowed at once by delicate art and loftiest feeling. The house gave way at last to an uncontrollable enthusiasm, and, regardless of Court etiquette, the en- tire assembly rose to its feet amid a tumult of applause. Not far from the Maestro, who was conducting the music from the centre of the orchestra, was seated Carricchio. He had, of course, discarded his professional 164 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. dress, and had attired himself, according to the genius of his countrymen, in rich but dark and plain attire. Any one who could have watched his face — that face which the little Schoolmaster was used to wonder at — and could have marked the quaint mingling, on the large worn fea- tures, of the old humorous movement with the new emotions of wonder and of love, would not have spent his moments in vain. But the success was too complete. The Empress-Queen was shocked at the breach of decorum. She was not in the least touched by the Signorina's singing, and the story of the opera was unintelligible to her. It was suggested by those who were offended and injured by the success of the piece, and by the displacement of other THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 1 65 operas, that this arrangement entailed in- creased expense upon the royal treasury, and, amid the penurious and pettifogging instincts of the Court of Vienna in those days, this was a fatal thrust. The theatre, it was said, was required for other pieces, notably for a new opera by Metastasio himself. "It was very beautiful, Ferdinand," said the Princess, as they left the box ; and, struck by her tone and by the un- accustomed use of his name, the Prince looked at her with surprise, for it was years since he had seen the sweet, softened, well -remembered look in her eyes. " I liked that boy !" " I will convey your approbation to the Signorina," replied the Prince; "it will complete the triumph of the night." 1 66 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. "Where do you sup to-night, Ferdi- nand ?" said the Princess. " I — I sup in private with the Maestro and Tina," said the Prince. "Ah!" said the Princess, still with the same wistful, unaccustomed look. •fiF 'Tr TV- "Jv On her return from the chapel a note from the Prince was put into the Princess's hand. It merely stated that he was gone to Hernhuth to the Count Zinzendorf. It THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. 237 had been written at a tavern in the environs of the city, after his sudden determination had been formed the day before, and had been entrusted to a servant of the inn to deliver. He had arrived at the Hotel after the Princess had left, and, on asking for her Highness, had been told by a careless porter that she was at the Palace. Wandering about the Palace courts late at night he had been arrested as a suspicious person, and kept prisoner till the morning. In course of time (posts were slow in those days) the Princess received a long letter from her husband, giving an account of Hernhuth, and of his conversations with the Count, and concluding with these words : — " From all this you will, doubtless, con- 2^8 THE LITTLE SCHOOLMASTER MARK. elude that Hernhuth does not suit me very well, and that the Count and I do not always agree. It would be more after Isoline's taste. I like the children's dream, as you tell it, best. We have been dead, and laid upon a bier ; but we will, please God, live hereafter for the children and the Christ." THE END. Printed by R. & R. Clark, Edinburgh. MESSRS.

THE ACADEMY. — " Such a story as 'The Little Schoolmaster Mark ' is worth a dozen first-rate novels." SIR PERCIVAL. A Story of the Past and of the Present. TEE LITERARY WORLD.— "It is the work of a man who to great literary power unites a deep insight into the hidden mysteries of spiritual life." A TEACHER OF THE VIOLIN, and other Tales. THE SPECTATOR.— "'So one who takes up this volume will he likely to leave it unfinished. . . . All the Stories are of delicate work- manship." THE COUNTESS EVE. TEE SPECTATOR.— " Mr. Shorthouse has written nothing since ' John Inglesant ' so good as this little tale. . . . It is a remarkable little story, dealing with the mystical aspects of temptation in a manner which, though perfectly pure and free from any kind of dangerous fascination, produces a profound impression on the reader's mind. . . . The story is quite worthy of the author of ' John Inglesant ' in the same sense in which we may say that 'Janet's Repentance' is worthy of the author of 'Middle- march.'" TEE GUARDIAN. — "Mr. Shorthouse once more gives his readers a singularly graceful story. It is a romance and an allegory in one ; a com- bination in which Mr. Shorthouse's peculiar gifts are seen at their best. . . . The incidents are slight in themselves ; and there is little or no complication to mar the delicate simplicity of the conception. The book has a grace and beauty of style fully worthy of the author of 'John Inglesant. ' " MACMILLAN AND CO., LONDON. MESSRS. MACMILLAN & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. POPULAR NO VELS BY F. MARION CRA WFORD.

A Tale of Modern India. The Athenasum.— " A work of unusual ability. . . . It fully deserves the notice it is sure to attract." DOCTOR CLAUDIUS. A True Story. The Athenaeum.— " Mr. Crawford has achieved another success. . . . Few recent books have been so difficult to lay down when once begun as 'Mr. Isaacs ' and ' Doctor Claudius,' and few have been and will be read with so little skipping." A ROMAN SINGER. The Times.—". . . A masterpiece of narrative. ... In Mr. Crawford's skilful hands it is unlike any other romance in English literature. . . . The characters in the novel possess strong individuality, brought out simply by the native stress of the story." ZOROASTER. The Guardian.— " An instance of the highest and noblest form of novel. . . . Alike in the originality of its conception and the power with which it is wrought out, it stands on a level that is almost entirely its own. MARZiaS CRUCIFIX. The Times.—" ' Marzio's Crucifix ' is another of those tales of modern Rome which show the author so much at his ease. A subtle compound of artistic feeling, avarice, malice, and criminal frenzy is this carver of silver chalices and crucifixes." A TALE OF A LONELY PARISH. The Guardian.—" The tale is written with all Mr. Crawford's skill." PAUL PA TOFF. The St. James's Gazette.—" The action of the story never flags. Movement is one of the principal charms of this very entertaining book. . . . Those who neglect to read ' Paul l'atulf ' will throw away a very pleasurable opportunity." WITH THE IMMORTALS. The Spectator.—" . . . Mr. Crawford's remarkable book . . . cannot fail to please a reader who enjoys crisp, clear, vigorous writing, and thoughts that are alike original and suggestive." GREIFENSTEIN. The Spectator.— "Altogether we like ' Greifenstein decidedly— so much so as to doubt whether it does not dislodge 'A Roman Singer' Cram the place hereto occupied by the latter as our favourite amongst Mr. Crawford's novels." SANT ILARLO. (A Sequel to " Saracinesca.") The Athenaeum. — " The plot is skilfully concocted, and the interest is sustained to the end. As a story of incident the l k leaves little to be desired.

The Publishers have been led to provide the more strictly Elementary Books with Vocabularies by the representations of many teachers, who hold that beginners do not understand the use of a Dictionary, and of others who, in the case of middle-class schools where the cost of books is a serious consideration, advocate the Vocabulary system on grounds of economy.
