He
turned
and
left
the
room
,
but
came
back
before
I
had
done
wondering
and
puzzling
over
the
oddity
of
all
this
;
it
was
merely
to
say
that
he
was
going
to
Karnstein
,
and
had
ordered
the
carriage
to
be
ready
at
twelve
,
and
that
I
and
Madame
should
accompany
him
;
he
was
going
to
see
priest
who
lived
near
those
picturesque
grounds
,
upon
business
,
and
as
Carmilla
had
never
seen
them
,
she
could
follow
,
when
she
came
down
,
with
Mademoiselle
,
who
would
bring
materials
for
what
you
call
a
picnic
,
which
might
be
laid
for
us
in
the
ruined
castle
.
At
twelve
o'clock
,
accordingly
,
I
was
ready
,
and
not
long
after
,
my
father
,
Madame
and
I
set
out
upon
our
projected
drive
.
Passing
the
drawbridge
we
turn
to
the
right
,
and
follow
the
road
over
the
steep
Gothic
bridge
,
westward
,
to
reach
the
deserted
village
and
ruined
castle
of
Karnstein
.
No
sylvan
drive
can
be
fancied
prettier
The
ground
breaks
into
gentle
hills
and
hollows
,
all
clothed
with
beautiful
wood
,
totally
destitute
of
the
comparative
formality
which
artificial
planting
and
early
culture
and
pruning
impart
.
The
irregularities
of
the
ground
often
lead
the
road
out
of
its
course
,
and
cause
it
to
wind
beautifully
round
the
sides
of
broken
hollows
and
the
steeper
sides
of
the
hills
,
among
varieties
of
ground
almost
inexhaustible
.
Turning
one
of
these
points
,
we
suddenly
encountered
our
old
friend
,
the
General
,
riding
towards
us
,
attended
by
a
mounted
servant
.
His
portmanteaus
were
following
in
a
hired
wagon
,
such
as
we
term
a
cart
.
The
General
dismounted
as
we
pulled
up
,
and
,
after
the
usual
greetings
,
was
easily
persuaded
to
accept
the
vacant
seat
in
the
carriage
and
send
his
horse
on
with
his
servant
to
the
schloss
.
It
was
about
ten
months
since
we
had
last
seen
him
:
but
that
time
had
sufficed
to
make
an
alteration
of
years
in
his
appearance
.
He
had
grown
thinner
;
something
of
gloom
and
anxiety
had
taken
the
place
of
that
cordial
serenity
which
used
to
characterize
his
features
.
His
dark
blue
eyes
,
always
penetrating
,
now
gleamed
with
a
sterner
light
from
under
his
shaggy
grey
eyebrows
.
It
was
not
such
a
change
as
grief
alone
usually
induces
,
and
angrier
passions
seemed
to
have
had
their
share
in
bringing
it
about
.
We
had
not
long
resumed
our
drive
,
when
the
General
began
to
talk
,
with
his
usual
soldierly
directness
,
of
the
bereavement
,
as
he
termed
it
,
which
he
had
sustained
in
the
death
of
his
beloved
niece
and
ward
;
and
he
then
broke
out
in
a
tone
of
intense
bitterness
and
fury
,
inveighing
against
the
"
hellish
arts
"
to
which
she
had
fallen
a
victim
,
and
expressing
,
with
more
exasperation
than
piety
,
his
wonder
that
Heaven
should
tolerate
so
monstrous
an
indulgence
of
the
lusts
and
malignity
of
hell
.
