At length, it must have been two or three in the morning, Iheard the house-door open, and footsteps on the stair. The sense of coldvanished, and a rush of heat passed over me. I softly opened the door, meaningto run out, to throw myself at your feet. . . . I cannot tell what I shouldhave done in my frenzy. The steps drew nearer. A candle flickered. TremblinglyI held the door-handle. Was it you coming up the stairs? Yes, it was you,beloved; but you were not alone. I heard a gentle laugh, the rustle of silk,and your voice, speaking in low tones. There was a woman with you. . . . Icannot tell how I lived through the rest of the night. At eight next morning,they took me with them to Innsbruck. I had no strength left to resist.
“大概是凌晨两三点吧,我终于听见楼下有人用钥匙打开大门的声音,然后是脚步声走上楼梯。刹那间,我觉得寒意顿消,浑身发热,我轻轻地打开大门,想一口气冲到你前面,扑倒在你的脚下……
啊,我真的不知道,当时我这个傻女孩会做出什么傻事来。脚步声越来越近,烛光一闪一灭地从楼梯照上来。我紧握着门把,浑身紧张得直发抖。心里想,爬上楼来的人,真是你吗?
“是的,亲爱的,真的是你──可是你并不是单独一个人回来。我还听到一阵娇媚轻柔的笑声,听到晚礼服拖在地上的窸窣声,还有你低声说话的声音。你是和一个女人一起回来的。我已经想不起来,那一夜,我是怎么熬过去的。第二天早上八点,他们就把我带到因斯布鲁克去了,我连一点反抗的力气都没有。”
