Will you promise me now to conceal our plan from every one , and let me make all necessary arrangements ? '' `` I do , my sweet girl . Tell me what I am to do , and I will obey you silently and unconditionally . '' `` Well , then , dear Ulrich , '' she said , in a tremulous voice , `` come to - night , at nine o'clock , to the chapel here in the imperial palace . As a witness , I hope you will find there our dear commander-in - chief , Andreas Hofer . Father Haspinger will stand before the altar , and your betrothed will kneel before the altar too , ready to become your wife , and love and serve you all her life . '' `` And I shall find there my betrothed , to whom I shall plight my faith before the altar , and whom I will love and cherish all my life ! ''
