<h2>CHAPTER XI<br/> <small>VIENNA</small></h2>
<p><span class="smcap">With</span> the arrival of Teresa Runkel busy
days followed; visits to the Prater, which Emperor
Joseph II had dedicated to the public for
a playground and recreation park; to the
Capuchin Church, where lie the remains of the
imperial families from the time of Matthias I
in 1619, and where the ill-starred Duke of
Reichstadt (L'Aiglon), the only son of Napoleon
of France, lies buried among his kinsfolks,
as well as his imperial mother, Marie
Louise. And, best of all, there was the excursion
to the Castle of Laxenburg just outside
Vienna, one of the imperial chateaux, standing
in the midst of a miniature island, which is
reached by a tiny ferry boat, quite as though it<span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_155" id="Page_155">[155]</SPAN></span>
were some ancient feudal castle with its moat,
minus the drawbridge and portcullis.</p>
<p>Here they were frightened nearly out of their
senses while inspecting the dungeons, at hearing
an automaton chained to the wall shake
its cumbersome fetters as if he were some
prisoner living out his days in the hopelessness
of the dungeon. But Herr Müller quieted the
alarms of the young girl by explaining the pleasantry
of the custodian, who gives his visitors
thrills, which is what they really come for, as
he says.</p>
<p>"I wish you could be here for the ice-carnival,
Teresa," said Ferdinand, after one busy day's
sight-seeing. "It's wonderful, with the lake
all lit up by electric lights and lanterns, and
tiny booths dotted here and there, and skaters
in their furs and gay gowns. Can't you manage
to come at Christmas time?"</p>
<p>"I should love to," she replied. "I'll write
and ask brother Franz if I may."</p>
<p><span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_156" id="Page_156">[156]</SPAN></span></p>
<p>"And maybe mother will let us go to one
of the masked balls," the lad said, half hesitatingly,
for he knew this would, indeed, be a
privilege.</p>
<p>"Scarcely yet, Ferdinand; children do not
attend balls; but there are countless other festivities
for children, which would delight
Teresa much more than a masked ball at which
she could but look on. It is far better to be a
participant, isn't it, my dear?"</p>
<p>"Oh, much," answered the child, politely.
Nevertheless, she did wish she might see the
ball.</p>
<p>A few days later Ferdinand and his mother
drove the Austrian girl to the railroad station,
where she was met by the Sister who
would conduct her and others to the Convent.</p>
<p>At the conductor's call "Einsteigen!" the
doors of the train were fastened, and Ferdinand
waved farewell to his little friend, through<span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_157" id="Page_157">[157]</SPAN></span>
whose childish head flashed visions of a merry
Yule-tide to come, passed in the home of her
friends, with dances and parties, and skating
and endless merriment.</p>
