Excerpt from GreifensteinFurthermore, if the baroness's reluctance to ask for assistance has not been sufficiently explained, there is one more consider ation which might alone have sufficed to account for her con duct. Between her and Greif's mother there existed a great and wholly insurmountable antipathy. She could not under stand how Greifenstein could have married such a woman. There was a mystery about it which she had never fathomed. Greifenstein himself was a stern, silent man of military appear ance, a mighty hunter in the depths of the forest, a sort of grizzled monument of aristocratic strength, tough as leather, courteous in his manner, with that stiff courtesy that never changes under any circumstances, rigid in his views, religious, loyal, full of the prejudices that make the best subjects in a kingdom and the bitterest opponents of all change.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
