While the old castle of Landshort was in this state of perplexity, a very interesting scene was transacting in a different part of the Odenwald. The young Count Von Altenburg was tranquilly pursuing his route in that sober jog-trot way, in which a man travels toward matrimony when his friends have taken all the trouble and uncertainty of court- ship off his hands, and a bride is waiting for him, as certainly as a dinner, at the end of his journey. He had encountered at Wurtzburg a youthful comp...anion in arms, with whom he had seen some service on the frontiers ; Herman Yon Starkenf aust, one of the stout- est hands and worthiest hearts of German chivalry, who was now returning from the army. His father's castle was not far distant from the old fortress of Land- short, although an hereditary feud rendered the fami- lies hostile, and strangers to each other. In the warm-hearted moment of recognition, the young friends related all their past adventures and fortunes, and the count gave the whole history of his intended nuptials with a young lady whom he had never seen, but of whose charms he had received the most enrapturing descriptions.
