2107''Yes, I tell you,--but where is the sealed Desk?''
2107--"Quit of him?
2107--"Why bother with the Kaiser and his German puddles?"
2107---Then why not SILENCE about both, my Friend Smelfnngus?
2107--Which, alas, what can it avail with the Britannic Majesty, in regard to such outrageous Propositions from the Prussian?
2107A brisk military man, in the prime of his years; who might do as Prussian Envoy himself, if nothing great were going on?
2107A loyal, clever, and gallant kind of young fellow, if your Majesty will think?
2107Across the Rhine to Speyer is but three hours riding; thence to Landau, into France, into--?
2107Ah, DID you send me Berlin sausages, then, you untrue Papa?
2107All is right, Nosti, is it not?
2107And August the Strong-- what shall we say of August?
2107And I insinuated something of it to his Majesty, the day before yesterday[ 27th April, 1730, therefore?
2107And his Royal Highness the Crown- Prince all this while?
2107And now--?
2107And this, then, is what the Hotham mission is come to?
2107As my Brother was most in my anxieties, I asked, If it concerned him?
2107At Bamberg why should a Prussian Majesty linger, except for picturesque or for mere baiting purposes?
2107At Gera, dim, old Town,--does not your Royal Highness well know the"Gera Bond( GERAISCHE VERTRAG)"?
2107Baked by machinery; how otherwise could peel or roller act on such a Cake?
2107Bargains?"
2107Buddenbrock was there, and Anhalt- Dessau: for their very sake, were there nothing farther, one surely ought to go?
2107But is it not the seed- ground of the Hohenzollerns, this Nurnberg, memorable above cities to a Prussian Majesty?
2107But it is not in the power of reward or punishment to bend her female will in the essential point:''Divorce, your Highness?
2107But what then?
2107But where can the Prince be?
2107Could Jupiter Tonans, had he been travelling on business in those parts, have done better with his dinner?--"At Sinzheim?"
2107Could not Katte get a"Recruiting Furlough,"leave to go into the REICH on that score; and join one there?
2107Deeply pondering these things, what shall the poor Prince do?
2107Divine Laws, are they not?
2107Duhan: did not forget to inform you of that?
2107EINMAL KORPERLICH MISSHANDELT: why did not the Professor give us time, occasion, circumstances, and name of some eye- witness?
2107Franz Josias, a hearty man of thirty- five, he too will stand by the Kaiser in these coming storms?
2107Friedrich Wilhelm said, this Sunday evening at Darmstadt to his own Prince:"Still here, then?

2107Give it up; and go, unmolested, to the-- in fact to the Devil: Can not you?"

2107He must be in the Hague?

2107Into France, into Holland, England?
2107Let him take the answer they give him?"
2107May not one reasonably pretend that a bargain should be kept?
2107My Amiable and his Seckendorf, need they ask if Nosti will, and in a way to give them pleasure?"...
2107Nay need we, a few months ago, have spent such loads of gold subsidizing those Hessians and Danes against him?
2107Nay what is still more mortifying, my Brother says,"On the whole, I had better, had not I?"
2107Nay, at any rate, what are the Letters?
2107Need he fear their new Hotham, then?
2107No definite countenance from England, the reverse rather, your Highness sees;--how can there be?
2107Or is not the ultimate closing day perhaps still notabler; a day of universal eating?

2107Suppose he went to the Hague, and took soundings there what welcome we should have?
2107Surely the law of No- company does not extend to that of an innocent child?
2107That is the method settled on; neighborhood of Berlin, clearly somewhere there, must be the place?
2107The Townhouse too( RATHHAUS), with its amazing old Clock?
2107The meaning, we perceive, is in sum:"Hm, you wo n''t, surely?
2107This Deserter Crown- Prince and his accomplices, especially Katte his chief accomplice, what is to be done with them?
2107This is what it is come to?"
2107To glide out of their quarters there, in that waste negligent old Town( where post- horses can be had), in the gray of the summer''s dawn?
2107To overturn the Country, belike; and fling the Kaiser, and European Balance of Power, bottom uppermost?
2107Truly, yes; they mean to ask in Parliament( as poor gamblers in that Cockpit are wo nt),''And why did not you make the offer sooner, then?

2107Was there ever such a baffled Royal Highness; or young bright spirit chained in the Bear''s Den in this manner?
2107Well, yes, your Majesty, divine and human;--or are there perhaps no laws but the human sort, completely explicit in this case?
2107What high person would not keep for himself, to say nothing of eating, some fraction of such a Nonpareil?
2107What is Friedrich Wilhelm to do?
2107What is the use of our industries and riches?''
2107Whither can I fly when haunted, except to thee?
2107Who knows, in spite of the light going out, but Keith is still there, merely with a window shutter to screen him?

2122''That is bad.--Tell me though; there lived a Landrath here before: he had a quantity of children: ca n''t you recollect his name?'' 2122 ''To WHOM belongs it?''

2112And it was some beggarly Attorney- Devil that built this sublunary world and us?
2112And now the response to them is--?
2112And sarcastic quizzing( especially if it be truth too), on certain female topics, what Improper Female, Czarina of All the Russias, could stand it?

2112Gotter has fulfilled his instructions in regard to this important little Document; and now the effect of it is--?
2112Gotter''s Proposals,--would the reader wish to hear these Proposals, which were so intensely interesting at one time?

2112If Friedrich had not business there, what man ever had in an enterprise he ventured on?
2112If we but knew where the Enemy is; on which side of us; what doing, what intending?
2112Iron ramrods against wooden; five shots to two: what is there but falling back?
2112Is not, this a curious case of testamentary right; human greed obliterating personal identity itself?
2112May be important, that,--who knows?

2112Of the actual transit to high mass, transit very visible in the Great Gallery or OEil- de- Boeuf, why should a human being now say anything?
2112Or did Friedrich exaggerate to himself his Uncle''s real share in the matter?
2112Or say it were Karl Albert Kur- Baiern, the hereditary friend and dependent of France?
2112Or shall it be Spain''s for arrogant- torpid sham- devotional purposes, contradictory to every Law?

2112What the issue will be?

2114We can not have a Reichs Mediation- Army, then? 2114 What they intended: or intend, by coming hither?"
2114What this Pragmatic Army means to do? 2114 ''But have you seen a retreat better managed?'' 2114 ''Get into Lorraine?'' 2114 ''Liberty to march home, and equitable Peace- Negotiations in the rear?'' 2114 ''Plunge home upon Prince Karl and the Grand- Duke; beat them, with your Broglio to help in the rear?'' 2114 ''To Strasburg? 2114 ''We can besiege Dunkirk at any rate, can not we, your High Mightinesses? 2114 ''We? 2114 ''Well, he has plenty of cash:--is it my Cause, then, or his Majesty''s and Liberty''s?'' 2114 ( that contemptible Country, where their very beer is called MUM),--and no remedy within view?
2114--''You recognize ME for your General?''
2114162- 166;_ Campagnes,_ v. 170, 124,& c.& c.]''Army of Bavaria?''
2114After a little thought, he fixes,--does the reader know upon whom?
2114After which are Mountain- passes; Bohemian Forest: and the Event--?
2114Allow me, as LANDES- HERR, some trifle of overplus: how much, then?
2114And Broglio has lost head, a mere whirlwind of flaming gases; and your ablest Comte de Saxe in such position, what can he do?
2114And his cash paid Madam, and his Dettingen mouse- trap fought?
2114And then the breakages, damages still chargeable; the probable afterclap?
2114And you?"
2114And, however potent you are, is an ally useless to you?
2114Anti- English Armament; to be led by, whom thinks the reader?
2114As it is, there play cannon across the River upon him:--Why not bend to right, and get out of range, asks the reader?
2114But how?''
2114But to have my apology spit upon; but to be myself publicly cut in pieces for them?"
2114But where are the divine Emilie and Voltaire, that morning, while the Brigadier is in such taking?
2114But will they resist your power, joined to that of the House of Bourbon?
2114Can not we, from these enormous Paper- masses, carefully riddled, afford the reader a glimpse or two, to quicken his imagination of these things?
2114Deign to think, may not this too,--in the present state of my King, of my Two Kings, and of all Europe,--be itself a kind of spheral thing?"
2114Do not you cover yourself with an immortal glory in declaring yourself, with effect, the protector of the Empire?
2114Dunkirk, which, by all the Treaties in existence, ought to need no besieging; but which, in spite of treatyings innumerable, always does?''
2114Dunkirk-- or what is Dunkirk even?
2114Eatables, street- lamps, do I say?
2114Enough, the poor Kaiser, after doleful''Council of War held at Augsburg, June 25th,''does on the morrow make off for Frankfurt again:--whither else?
2114For he holds the door of the Alps, Bully Bourbon on one side of it, Bully Hapsburg on the other; and inquires sharply,"You, what will you give me?
2114Give"Kur- Baiern, Kaiser as they call him,"something in the Netherlands to live upon?
2114Had not little George better have stayed at home out of these Pragmatic Wars?
2114Has cost already, I should guess, some 80,000 French drilled Men, paid down, on the nail, to the inexorable Fates: and of coined Millions,--how many?
2114Have you in that case, Sire, any ally but France?
2114He wished to favor the Arts, yes; but did he reckon Opera- dancing a chief one among them?
2114How can they, if Grammont do his duty?
2114How did I never think of that myself?"
2114How should it?
2114If Prince Karl come upon us in this scattered posture, what are we to do?"
2114If only the Dutch prove hoistable!--"And so, from May on to September, it noisily proceeds, at multiplex rates?
2114If you were but to march a body of troops to Cleves, do not you awaken terror and respect, without apprehension that any one dare make war on you?
2114In what station Commodore Trunnion did then serve in the British Navy?
2114Is it not clear that France shows vigor and wisdom?
2114Landgraf Wilhelm is proud to have saved his Kaiser,--who so glad as the Landgraf and his Kaiser?
2114Nay, but where is YOUR commission to command in Prag, M. le Marechal?''
2114No law of the Reich had been violated against her Hungarian Majesty or Husband:"What law?"
2114Nor a Swabian- Franconian Army, to defend their own frontier?"
2114Old snuffling Seckendorf, born to ill success in his old days, strong only in caution, how is he to quench or stay this crackling of the posts?
2114One wonders, Were Pipes and Hatchway perhaps there, in Martin''s squadron?
2114Or to the Three Bishoprics''"( Metz, Toul, Verdun:--readers recollect that Siege of Metz, which broke the great heart of Karl V.?
2114Or, give him the Kingdom of Naples,--if once we had conquered it again?
2114Parties go out freely to investigate:--but as to forage?
2114Prag may go to the-- What have I to do with Prag?
2114Prag?
2114Silesia, then, is not considered settled, by the high contracting parties?
2114Six or eight times as useful to Prussia: and to the Inhabitants what multiple of usefulness shall we give?
2114Success?
2114Surely King Friedrich ought to admit that these are fine symptoms?
2114Talent?
2114The Dutch?
2114The great Marlborough used to play such, and win; making the wide elements, the times and the spaces, hit with exactitude: but a Maillebois?
2114The lynx- eyed animal,--anxiously asking itself,"Whitherward, then, out of such a mess?"
2114The thing is not comfortable to Friedrich; but what help?
2114Then again, what say you to Bavaria, in lieu of the Silesia lost?
2114This Bassecour, or Backyard, seems to be the gentleman that has charge of fattening the capons and turkeys for their High Mightinesses?
2114This same October, the Reich, after endless debatings on the question,"Help our Kaiser, or not help?"
2114This was what you call sincere Panegyric in liberal measure; why be stingy with your measure?
2114To Lorraine perhaps?
2114To continue crossing the Abysses on bridges of French rainbow?
2114To put my Son in Austrian hands?
2114To the last, they say, if a Stranger, getting audience, were graciously asked,''From what Country, then?''
2114Victory indisputably lost:--but is it not Grammont''s blame altogether?
2114Voltaire had his difficulties with Valori, too;"What interloping fellow is this?"
2114We may ask, Are these things of a nature to create love of the Hierarchy in M. de Voltaire?
2114Which settled, Broglio proceeded to the Saxon Court; who answered him:''Provender?
2114Why should not we play Marlborongh again, and teach them a little what Invasion means?
2114Wild bare mountains; good for what?
2114You can not help it, say you; there is no shutting up of a Reverend Desfontaines, which would be so salutary to himself and to us all?
2114[ Busching,_ Beitrage,_?
2114[ unless, indeed, your Highness were driven into Financial or other straits?]
2114_ On les y recevra, Biribi, A la facon de Barbari, Mon ami._ We will receive them, Twiddledee, In the mode of Barbary, Do n''t you see?
2114asks the Public everywhere:"To go into the Donau Countries, and enclose Broglio between two fires?"
2114exclaims all the world.--"Revoke such shamefully partial Dictature?"
2114not an ounce of provender possible; how dare we?''
2114said she( the Improper Duchess, at sight of me),''will the King of Prussia be a tyrant, then?
2114said the Captaincy[ said Stair, chiefly, it was thought]:''Shall the whole summer waste itself to no purpose?''
2114urges the Britannic Majesty:''Patience; may not there be compensation, if we hunt well?''"
2114what does her Hungarian Majesty mean?
2119A thousand times over, Schmettau must have asked himself,''Why was I in such a hurry? 2119 ACH KINDER, Alas, children, you are badly wounded, then?"
2119And for me, what orders has Excellency?
2119And now suddenly, on the Tuesday morning, What is this? 2119 And what is this one hears from Gohfeld in the evening?
2119JA, your Majesty: but how goes the Battle?
2119May not it be another Rossbach( if we are lucky)?
2119N''Y A- T- IL DONC PAS UN BOUGRE DE BOULET QUI PUISSE M''ATTEINDREE( Is there no one b---- of a ball that can reach me, then)?
2119Northeast? 2119 Not in Sommerfeld?"
2119Schmettau had been over- hasty; what need had Schmettau of haste? 2119 The Caudine Forks;""Scene of Pirna over again, in reverse form;""Is not your King at last over with it?"
2119The King does not see his way, then, after all?
2119The King of Prussia?
2119Think you there is any pleasure in leading this dog of a life[ CHIENNE, she- dog]? 2119 What rage animates you against Maupertuis?
2119What, from Rothe Vorwerk to Big Hollow, no passage, say you; no crossing?
2119Why not in Nanci here?
2119Will not Excellency Soltikof, who disdains idleness, go himself upon Silesia, upon Glogau for instance, and grant me a few days?
2119Would not Dantzig by ourselves be the advisable thing?
2119''Fatherly?
2119''May not some of them belong to Polish Majesty?''
2119''You?''
2119''Your obstinate Town can be bombarded, then,--cannot it?''
2119( Answer, evasive on this point):"Are you bandaged, though?
2119--To which Schmettau answers:''Can Durchlaucht think us ignorant of the common rules of behavior to Persons of that Rank?
2119--not even the 800 wagons are ready for us;''Ca n''t your baggages go in boats, then?''

2119?, et seq.]
2119A Siege of Colberg, however, there is actually to be: Second Siege,--if perhaps it will prove luckier than the First was, two years since?
2119A very disappointing circumstance to Soltikof;"Austrian Junction still a problem, then; a thing in the air?
2119ALDER Waste?
2119About seven in the morning Maguire had his Messenger in Dresden,''Your Excellency''s Paper ready?''
2119After all, I am so used to treacheries and bad manoeuvres,"--what matters this insignificant one?
2119And first of all, concerning the enigma"What is Luc?"
2119And if not, what becomes of you?
2119And who, in the interim, will watch Daun and his enterprises?
2119And with regard to the requisition of proviant, they answered in a scornful angry key,''Proviant?
2119At once thither;--and leave Glogau and the Russians to their luck,--which in such case, what is it like to be?
2119Beautifully written too, says Retzow; but what, in the eyes of this King, is beautiful writing, to knowing your business well?
2119But again, did not his Majesty expect, do not these words"a bout"still seem to expect, a bit of fighting with somebody or other?
2119But can English readers consent to halt in this hot pinch of the Friedrich crisis; and read the briefest thing which is foreign to it?
2119But in the northwest part, those Fincks and Wunsches, Excellenz?"
2119But it must have been an interesting discovery to Daun, if he foreshadowed to himself what results it would have on him:"Taking the defensive, then?
2119Continue that, and what becomes of Soltikof and me?
2119Daun has a horror at weakening himself to that extent; but what can he do?
2119Daun is off from Triebel Country to this dangerous scene; indignantly cashiers Deville,''Why did not you attack these Ziethen people?
2119Did, all that Monday, his best to prepare himself; called in his outposts("Was not I ordered?"
2119Does it depend on me?
2119Et qu''auraient- ils a craindre en se revoltant?...
2119Finck had not a gun or a man in it:"Had not I order?"
2119Friedrich had observed his fiery ways on the day of Leuthen:"Hah, a new Winterfeld perhaps?"
2119Friedrich takes the road for Guben; reaches Markersdorf( twenty miles''march, still seven or eight from Guben); falls upon-- What phenomenon is this?
2119From Triebel he sends the news at gallop to Lieberose and Soltikof:"Rejoice with us, Excellenz: did not I predict it?
2119Had not you 10,000, Sir?''
2119Has not Daun good reason now to be proud of the cunctatory method?
2119Have you been let blood?"
2119He has now no Winterfeld, Schwerin, no Keith, Retzow, Moritz:--whom has he?
2119He makes charming verses, in times when another could not write a line of prose; he deserves to be happy: but will he be so?
2119He was of that sad Zittau business of the late Prince of Prussia''s,--Goltz, Winterfeld, Ziethen, Schmettau and others?
2119Hear the stiff Answer that comes:"''Conditions of Peace,''do you call them?
2119How can Daun, if himself merely speculative, calculative, hope that Soltikof will continue acting?
2119I grieve to resemble Cassandra with my prophecies; but how augur well of the desperate situation we are in, and which goes on growing worse?
2119I will forget who took Peitz: perhaps Haddick, of whom we have lately heard so much?
2119I, can I join myself to that set?
2119IS HE STILL IN BERLIN; OR WHERE IN THE UNIVERSE IS HE?
2119If he run to save Hanover from Broglio, he loses Westphalia: Osnabruck( his magazine)?
2119If they will stand fight?
2119In his place one might have, at least, shot out a spy or two?
2119In the hope probably of finding something of human provender withal?
2119Into the Night; men and goods, every item:--who shall say whitherward?
2119Is it to be a mere fighting for meal?
2119Maupertuis, say you?
2119Meal?
2119Monsieur, my ammunition is in Posen; my bread is fallen scarce; in Frankfurt can you find me one horse more?''
2119Or of what use was it anywhere?
2119Or will not he perhaps go, of himself, when the rough weather comes?''"
2119Or would readers care to glance into the very fact with their own eyes?
2119Our Court will cheerfully furnish money, instead of meal."--"Money?
2119Possibly a high career lying ahead;--a man that may be very valuable to Friedrich, who has now so few such left?
2119Provisions of meal?
2119QUESTION,"WHO WROTE Matinees du Roi de Prusse?"
2119Reflect that even Kings make peace after long battling; can not you ever make it?
2119Renounced thoughts of Italy:''Europe bleeding, and especially France and Prussia, how go idly touring?''
2119Serene Highness gets on horseback; but what can that help?
2119Shall he manoeuvre himself out, and march away, bread- carts, baggages and all entire?
2119Soltikof understands the congratulations very well; but as to that of trampling out, snorts an indignant negative:''Nay, you, why do n''t you try it?
2119That is Retzow''s notion: who knows but there may be truth in it?
2119The case is critical; especially this Haddick- Loudon part of it: add 30 or 36,000 Austrians to Soltikof, how is he then to be dealt with?
2119The poor Fortress of Peitz was taken again;--do readers remember it,"on the day of Zorndorf,"last year?
2119There is such a thing as being too cunctatory, is not there, your Excellency?
2119They say Prince Henri took the liberty of counselling him, even of entreating him:"Leave well alone; why run risks?"
2119To the disgust of Serene Highness:''Which of you did stand, then?
2119Too close?
2119Uncertain still what it is,--if not the Austrians altogether?
2119Upon which there is a Surgeon instantly brought; reprimanded for neglect:"Desperate, say you?
2119WHAT IS PERPETUAL PRESIDENT MAUPERTUIS DOING, ALL THIS WHILE?
2119Was it their blame, led as they were?''
2119What finer example to follow than that of those heroes?
2119What on earth can this be?
2119What the LUC in Voltaire is?
2119What, this beautiful, what, this grand genius, Whom I admired with transport, Soils himself with calumny, and is ferocious on the dead?
2119Which indeed the soldier who would know his business--(and not knowing it, is not he of all solecisms in this world the most flagrant?)
2119Why Schmettau did not shoot forth a spy or two, to ascertain for him What, or whether Nothing whatever, was passing outside Dresden?
2119Why does n''t Ferdinand cross Weser, re- cross Weser; coerce Broglio back; and save Hanover?
2119Will not Austria vindicate its claim?
2119With his own eyes he sees Reichsfolk marching, in quantity, southeastward by the Elbe shore:"Intending towards Dohna, as is like?"
2119Yes, to Glogau possibly enough,"thinks Daun:"Or may not he, cunning as he is and full of feints, intend a stroke on Bautzen, in my absence?"
2119You too without it?
2119]): but both are of one mind; both are on one problem,"What is to be done with that impassable dike?"
2119a Prag, a Kolin, Leuthen, Rossbach;--must there still be others, then, to the misery of poor mankind?"
2119inquires he of Captain Sydow, who is on guard at the Prussian end;"How dared you make this change, without acquainting the Second in Command?
2119not close enough?''
2119not far enough?
2119thinks Contades( as Ferdinand wished him to do):''Is our skilful enemy, in this extreme embarrassment, losing head, then?
2119thinks Daun:"You, Zweibruck, Haddick, Maguire and Company, you are 36,000 in Saxony; Finck has not 12,000 in the field: How is this?"
2119thinks Wedell:"Can not we burst in on their flank, as they march yonder, those awkward fellows; and tumble them into heaps?"
2113''And pray, Monsieur, who are they?'' 2113 ''Have not I great reason to be dissatisfied with your Court?
2113''His Excellency Podewils has been taking notes; if I am to be bound by them, might I first see that he has mistaken nothing?'' 2113 ''Is that your Majesty''s deliberate answer?''
2113''Let us see then( VOYONS), what is there more?'' 2113 ''MILORD, DE QUOI S''AGIT- IL A PRESENT( What is it now, then)?''
2113''Retire out of Silesia? 2113 ''What do you mean?
2113''What was the sum of money then offered her Hungarian Majesty?'' 2113 ''With that Answer: is your Majesty serious?''
2113''Would your Majesty consent now to stand by his Excellency Gotter''s original Offer at Vienna on your part? 2113 ''Would your Majesty consent to an Armistice?''
2113And you consent, if I take that in hand?
2113Can not one still mend it; can not one still do something of the like?
2113Clippings of Bohemia? 2113 Did not I give up my invaluable Silesia, the jewel of my crown, for you, cruel Britannic Majesty with the big purse, and no heart to speak of?"
2113False?
2113How a King''s Daughter and an Empress are to meet, was probably never settled by example: what number of steps down stairs does she come? 2113 In Heaven''s name, what are your intentions, then?"
2113Is it conceivable that Friedrich could have beaten us, in that manner, except by buying Neipperg in the first place? 2113 Let the Silesian matter stand where it stood,"thinks Friedrich:"since Austria will not, will you?
2113Mendacity,my friends?
2113Shall I join with the English, in hope of some tolerable bargain from Austria? 2113 Surely you are a Sea- Power, ye valiant Dutch; the OTHER Sea- Power?
2113The Austrians will not complete their bargain of Klein- Schnellendorf?
2113Why not drive him out of Budweis,think the Two French Marshals,"him and whatever force can come?
2113Wo n''t your Majesty co- operate?
2113''How is it possible, my Lord, to believe things so contradictory?
2113''Might I request a short Private Audience of your Majesty?''
2113''Price?''
2113''Take Prag: but how?''
2113( We have no strong place, or footing in this Country: what are we to do?
2113-- It is true they have no money, these blind dull people; but are not the Sea- Powers, England especially, there, created by Nature to supply money?
2113--Can his Excellency Hyndford get Vienna, get Feldmarschall Reipperg with power from Vienna, to accept: Yes or No?
2113--He concludes:"Have I need of Peace?
2113... That expression made him smile, and he began to look a little cooler....''Shall we apply to Vienna, your Majesty?''
2113339(?
211345, 193); and French Peerage- Books,?
2113A very strong resolution, they and the Gazetteers think it; and ask themselves, Is it not likely to have some effect?
2113Above all, if Neipperg''s Army were to disengage itself, and be let loose into those parts?
2113Am not I fortifying Brieg and Glogau?
2113And for money?
2113And from England, in about a fortnight, gets for answer,"Do harm, think you?
2113And go not into that dust- whirlwind of extinct stupidities, O reader:--what reader would, except for didactic objects?
2113And in a prompt manner, if you please, Sir; why not prompt and abundant?
2113And to me they can not spare a few trifling Principalities?
2113Are we alarm- clocks, that need only to be wound up, and told at what hour, and for whom?]
2113At all events, if asked: Where then is the specifical not"superstitious"WANT of"veracity"you ever found in Friedrich?
2113Austria prefers your friendship; but if your Majesty disdain Austria''s advances, what is it to do?
2113Being again urged, Why have not you performed?
2113Besides, who would guarantee them?''
2113But how could she see to do it,--especially with little George at her back, and abundance of money?
2113But now again, see, do not the dust- clouds pause?
2113But what can sympathies avail?
2113But will they?
2113Certain enough, Peace with Friedrich is now on the way; and can not well linger:--what prospect has Austria otherwise?
2113For if she is a Kaiser''s Daughter and Kaiser''s Spouse, am not I somewhat too?
2113France will be contentable with something in the Netherlands; what else can she want of us?
2113Friedrich, in astonishment and indignation, sends a messenger to Dresden:"Would the Polish Majesty BE''King of Moravia,''then, or not be?"
2113Has not France guaranteed the Pragmatic Sanction; has not England?
2113Have not they given whole Kingdoms to Spain?
2113Have they ever got to his Majesty?
2113Here is a successful young King; is not he?
2113Here is the enormous jumbling of a World broken loose; boiling as in very chaos; asking of him, him more than any other,"How?
2113How is it that you will not?"
2113How keep our incognito, with all these people heaping civilities upon us?
2113I asked, Where are those nine acres; what crop is now upon them?
2113I have now joined with France; and to join against it in this manner?
2113If the English would but get me a bargain--?
2113If the Queen prosper, I shall-- perhaps I shall have no objection to join her by and by?
2113In return for which his Prussian Majesty-- will do what?
2113Interests of Kur- Sachsen''s in that Country?"
2113Is it not the one thing needful?
2113Is not this the bulwark of your Prag just now?"
2113It is really difficult to say what: Be a true ally and second to France in its grand German Adventure?
2113Kaiser Ferdinand, Karl V.''s brother, on a Progress to Prag, came to lodge at Czaslau, one afternoon:"What is that?"
2113Limburg?
2113Lobkowitz, surely not Lobkowitz?
2113Might not the Enemy grow more tractable to Robinson''s seductions in such case?
2113My first enterprise; and to be given up lightly?''"
2113Neipperg and the generality of them, in that luckless Silesian Business?
2113Neipperg be chased, say you?
2113Old Uuddenbrock, surely, did not himself RIDE in the charge?
2113Or suppose, we are beaten by him?''
2113Ought not Karl Albert to be upon the road again?
2113Parings from that outskirt, what are these compared with Silesia, a horrid gash into the vital parts?
2113Perhaps it is not true?
2113Prince George of Hessen- Cassel, did readers ever hear of him before?
2113QUOI, such a paltry scraping( BICOQUE) as that, for all my just claims in Silesia?
2113Queen and Hofraths have been waiting in agony of suspense,"Will Friedrich bargain on those gentle terms, and help us with 100,000 men?"
2113Retire out of Silesia, which has cost me so much treasure and blood in the conquest of it?
2113Sends to Silesia, to Glatz and the Young Dessauer;--nay to Brandenburg and the Old Dessauer?
2113Shall I be bought out of this country?
2113Shall I have to join with the French, in despair of any?"
2113So that he had soon quitted Mahren; made for Budweis and neighborhood:--dangerous to Broglio''s outposts there?
2113Such Town Sovereign persecutes innocence, stops his ears to its cry; flourishes his sharp scourge;--no one shall complain: for is it not justice?
2113Such is Robinson''s gloomy view: finished, he, and the game lost,--unless perhaps Hyndford could still do something?
2113Support France, at least in its small Bavarian Anti- Austrian Adventure?
2113Syndic Guzmar and the peccant Officials being summoned out to Strehlen, it had been asked of them,"Do you know this Letter?"
2113The arm- chair( FAUTEUIL), is that to be denied me?"
2113The rest-- the spiders are very welcome to it: who of mortals would read it, were it made never so lucid to him?
2113The saving operation, Friedrich well sees, would be to get hold of Brunn: but, unluckily, How?
2113To unravel cobwebs, and register laboriously and date and sort in the sorrow of your soul the oaths of crowned dicers,--what use is it to gods or men?
2113Vehemently fought on both sides;--calculated, one may hope, to end this Silesian matter?
2113Was there ever so contingent a Treaty before?
2113What can the Town Major do; Prussian grenadiers, cannoneers, gravely environing him?
2113What else is their purpose in Creation?
2113What is his Britannic Majesty to do?
2113What is the use to human creatures of recording all that melancholy stuff?
2113What, How?"
2113What?"
2113Who minds or keeps guarantees in this age?
2113Why do n''t you all fly to the Queen''s succor?''"
2113Will even the King of Prussia himself be reserved to the last?
2113Will he, like that DIVER of Schiller''s, have to try the feat a second time?
2113With what face shall I meet my Ancestors, if I abandon my right, which they have transmitted to me?
2113[ Can that be, O Spener or Speer?
2113[ turning to Podewils]--QU''EST- CE QUE NOUS MANQUE DE TOUTE LA GUELDRE( How much of Guelderland is theirs, and not ours already)?''
2113a mere"Bavarian Army,"do n''t you see?
2113do readers wonder to see him dance, being an Archbishop?
2113reports Van Hoey always; and the Dutch answer his Britannic Majesty:"Hm, rise?
2113to stir up allies against me?
2115''Well, and if they did, they? 2115 A few days before her death,--perhaps some attendant sorrowfully asking,''Can we do nothing, then?''
2115An invasion of Bohemia, will not that astonish Prince Karl; and bring him to his Rhine- Bridges again? 2115 Are the Saxons enemies; are they friends?
2115But how, then,persists Valori;"but--?"
2115By what points the Austrian- Saxon Armament will come through upon us? 2115 Insulting; how, your Excellency?"
2115Intending to block us out from Schatzlar? 2115 King of Poland, thinks your Majesty?"
2115Let the King of France crown his glories by the Siege of Freyburg, the conquest of Brisgau:--for behoof of the poor Kaiser, do n''t you observe? 2115 Rapidity is indispensable,--and yet how quit Tabor?
2115Sire, will not you dispute the Passes, then?
2115WAS THUTS? 2115 Well; but why not attack, then, with your ferocity?"
2115''And we can not pass through this moor skirt of Lausitz, say you, then?''
2115''If now Stockstadt were suddenly snatched by us,''thinks Karl;--''if a few pontoons were nimbly swung in?''
2115''Prisoner, are not you?''
2115''Push to the left, over the Hochwald top, must not we?''
2115''QUE VOULEZ- VOUS DONC?''
2115''Seckendorf, increased in this munificent manner, can he still do nothing?''
2115''What share?''
2115''Who ever saw such positions, your Majesty?''
2115--''And us at the gates of Vienna,''answered I promptly,''with the same indifference?''
2115--On hearing of the Peace of Fussen, perhaps a day or so later, Friedrich again writes:--"APRIL[ no distinct date; Neisse still?
2115--So that there is not the least prospect of peace here?
2115--and even gets into FROIDES PLAISANTERIES:''Perhaps the Marechal did it himself?
2115--and questions arise innumerable thereupon, Will France go into electioneering again?
2115... Peace of Fussen, Bavaria turned against me?
2115169("Your illustrious''Column,''at Fontenoy?
2115248 n.] What"that May Eleventh"is or was?
2115A winter march of 150 miles;--but what, say the spies, is to hinder?
2115A young Countess Flemming( daughter of old Feldmarschall Flemming) doubtless there might be, who presented him a flute; but as to HIS FIRST flute--?
2115Aback, too indisputably, all!--"And Belleisle''s Accident?"
2115After which fine feat, salvatory to the Cause of Liberty, and destructive to French influence, what is to prevent his election to the Kaisership?
2115Alas, we are to stand a fourth siege, then?
2115And little Bruhl''s late insolence; Bruhl''s evident belief that"we are finished( AUX ABOIS)"?
2115And of the JENKINS''S- EAR question, generous England will say nothing?
2115And that is the good we have got of the sublime Austrian Alliance; and that is the pass our grand scheme of Partitioning Prussia has come to?
2115And we must now say, Silesia or Prag?
2115Are not we conquering Hither Austria here, for the Kaiser''s behoof?"
2115Are we never to have any good of our life, then( NE DOIS- JE DONC JAMAIS JOUIR)?
2115At nine, Bruhl himself arrives, for Privy Council:''What is your Majesty pleased to think on these points of current business?''
2115At the first gleam of dawn, as they are shoving down their pontoon boats, there comes a"WER- DA, Who goes?"
2115August the Strong, where is he; and his famous Three Hundred and Fifty- four, Enchantress Orzelska and the others, where are they?
2115Better be vigilant, Prince Leopold!--Grune, lying at Gera yonder, is not intending for Prince Karl, then?
2115Britannic George, though Purseholder, what is his success here?
2115But what help?
2115But what shall we say?
2115But where are provisions to be had?
2115But, after all, what could Seckendorf do?
2115Coming to take us on the right flank here; to attack our Camp by surprise: will crush us northward through the defiles, and trample us down in detail?
2115Consider farther: the Imperial dignity, is it compatible with the fatal deprivation of Silesia?
2115Could not one, by good methods, make friends with his Polish Majesty?"
2115Does not England love the Cause of Liberty?
2115Duchy of Glogau; some small paring of Silesia, wo n''t your Majesty?''
2115For the rest, the Bavarian question; and very specially, Who the new Emperor is to be?
2115Forward; steady: can I doubt but you will acquit yourselves like Prussian men?"
2115French sitting well on Prince Karl''s skirts?
2115Friedrich has still his hopes of Bavaria, so grandiloquent are the French in regard to it; who but would hope?
2115Had the Saxons stood still, steadily handling arms, how, on such terms, could the Prussians ever have managed it?
2115Had your Majesty forgotten the Joint- Stock Principle, then?
2115Has not England money, then?
2115His battle- lines torn in two in that manner, hovering in ragged clouds over the field, what hope is there in the Battle?
2115His speech seemed very like that of an Irishman; very sly[ how did you know, my poor friend?
2115How shall he make some impression on the Siege of Tournay?
2115How to smooth the King of Prussia, and turn him to harmony again?
2115How we are to maintain ourselves in this country?
2115If old Marshal Wade, at the other end of the line, should chance to awaken and press home on Saxe, and his remnant of French, with right vigor?
2115If we stay near Prag, what becomes of our communication with Silesia; what becomes of Silesia itself?
2115Is he entitled to exchange by cartel, or not entitled?''
2115Is not this a bit of modern chivalry?
2115Is not this the Kaiser''s Order?
2115Kur- Sachsen, the Polish Majesty again?
2115Meaning what?
2115Means to cut us off from Prag, then, which is our fountain of life in these circumstances?
2115On Thursday, 3d June: Do you notice that cloud of dust rising among the peaks over yonder?
2115On the morrow, 5 A.M., what is this that is going on?
2115Or perhaps the fatal alternative will not actually arrive?
2115Or some- whither to find fat winter- quarters: who knows?
2115Or will they perhaps make an attempt on Prag?
2115Or will they retreat without attempting mischief?
2115Or, better still, Would not perhaps the Saxons, in this humiliated state, accept Peace, and finish the matter?
2115Peace with George the Purseholder, does not that mean Peace with all the others?
2115Peace with Prussia, what good could it do at present?''
2115Perhaps nothing will follow; next to nothing?
2115Poor old Wade, last year,--perhaps Wade did suffer, as he alleged, from"want of sufficient authority in that mixed Army"?
2115Prince Karl, you would certainly say, has gone into winter- quarters; about Konigsgratz, and farther on?
2115Question now is, How will it stand with the Old Dessauer and his part?
2115Reinstated Chateauroux: but this time, poor creature, she continued only about a day:--"Sudden fever, from excitement,"said the Doctors:"Fever?
2115Reverence, sacred Respect for Human Worth, sacred Abhorrence of Human Unworth, have you considered what it means?
2115Robinson and the English seem not to be enthusiastic in that direction; as indeed how can they?
2115SAME LETTER, OR ANOTHER?
2115Saxons from the Lausitz, Austrians from Bohmen, enclosing us between two fires?"
2115Silesia and no afterthought?
2115Silesia, which was NOT yours nor ever shall be?
2115So long as Pardubitz and Kolin hold; and we have the Elbe for barrier?
2115Such is the rumor,--perhaps only a rumor, in mockery of the hebetated old gentleman fallen unlucky?
2115Surely, Monseigneur, only a man ignorant of war, or with treasonous intention[ or ill- off for victuals],--could post troops in that way?
2115Tallard, prisoner after Blenheim, made PEACE, you know, in England?''
2115That famed Middle- Rhine Army has gone to the-- what shall we say?
2115That second plan would have been the wisest:--then why not, follow it?
2115The Sazawa- Luschnitz tract of Country is quite lost, then; lost with damages: the question now is, Can we keep the Sazawa- Elbe tract?
2115The question now is, Will Saxony assist Austria in invading Silesia, with or without Britannic subsidy?
2115The traitor Seckendorf had made such a choice of posts,--left unaltered by Drum Thorring;--what could French valor do?
2115Then perhaps towards Saxony, to reinforce the Saxons?
2115This also is a thing to be amended, a thing you had to learn, your Majesty?
2115This will do, wo n''t it?"
2115Three Currents instinct with fire and destruction, but as yet quite opaque; which have been launched,--whitherward thinks the reader?
2115To leave them to the Tolpaches?
2115To winter in these towns between the Sazawa and the Luschnitz?
2115To- morrow;--well, to- morrow?
2115Together will it be, or separately?
2115Valori sees the King; finds him, as expected, the fac- simile of Bruhl in this matter; Jesuit Guarini the like: how otherwise?
2115Valori, horror- struck at such Peace, what shall he do to prevent it, to retard it?
2115Valori, so seldom spoken to, is lodged in a suburb there:''Had not you better go into the town itself?''
2115Very dear to the hearts of these poor people;--and to their purses, interests and skins, has not he in another sense been dear?
2115Was that our bargain?''
2115What are we, poor human atoms, to get up projects that cost so much blood?
2115What can Valori expect, on this heroic occasion, from such a King?
2115What had become of us pacific?
2115What to do?
2115What will France do with HIM; what he with France?
2115What will become of poor pacific mortals hereabouts?
2115White flag accordingly( Tuesday, 15th):"Free withdrawal, to the Wischerad; wo n''t you?"
2115Whom can the French try as Candidate against the Grand- Duke?
2115Why Populations suffer for their guilty Kings?
2115Why not?
2115With Austria, with Saxony, Britannic Majesty has been entirely unsuccessful:--"May not Sohr, perhaps, be a fresh persuasive?"
2115With a Konigseck to dry- nurse him, may not Royal Highness, luck favoring, do very well?
2115Would you have a Nation live forever that is content to be governed by Bruhls?
2115You will let him keep his own henceforth, then, will you?
2115[ MILITARY INSTRUCTIONS?
2115asks Valori, amazed:"Not defend your Mountain rampart, then?"
2115thinks Friedrich sadly to himself: but what is Prag and artillery, compared to Silesia?
2115with that hill, that brook, that bit of bog?''
19714''Is it not, Thirza?'' 19714 ''Well, what do you want me to do for the lad?''
19714''You say that he speaks both French and German well? 19714 A Scotchman, I suppose?"
19714And are they extensive?
19714And how about yourself? 19714 And may I ask how the count is going on, sir?"
19714And the French are gone, bag and baggage?
19714And the place?
19714And what think you of this matter, lad?
19714Are the horses at the door?
19714Are they here, then, count?
19714Are you Lieutenant Drummond, sir?
19714Are you all right?
19714Are you hurt, sir?
19714Are you joking, Ronsfeldt?
19714Are you sure that he is not dead, sir?
19714Are your horses still alive?
19714At what time will you start?
19714But I am not to lose your services, I hope?
19714But the king is a Protestant, is he not, sir?
19714But what grievance has France against the king?
19714But what is it all about, Drummond? 19714 But who had you with you to help you?"
19714By the way, are you not the officer who cut his way through the squadron of our regiment, and went on and joined your cavalry, who at once fell back? 19714 By the way, how did you come here?"
19714Can anyone tell me where I can find the king?
19714Can you give us the particulars?
19714Can you swim?
19714Could I, mother?
19714Did Ferdinand send you back, or did you ask to come?
19714Do we block the only line of retreat, sir?
19714Do you hear from her often?
19714Do you know what is going on to the right, sir?
19714Do you know where we are bound for?
19714Do you mean to kill him?
19714Do you mean to say, Mr. Drummond, that with your own hand you slew the whole of the six villains?
19714Do you mean, count,Fergus exclaimed eagerly,"that Thirza could go with me?
19714Do you not think of settling here?
19714Do you suppose that I am the emperor, in disguise?
19714Do you think, then,Stauffen said,"that there is any chance of our making our escape?"
19714Do you want a surgeon to see you?
19714Dragged hither, count?
19714From what you said in your letter to my mother, sir, you think it likely that we shall see service, before long?
19714Has he completely recovered?
19714Has the count opened his eyes yet?
19714Have there been any exchanges of prisoners, of late?
19714Have you any spirits?
19714Have you been a prisoner before?
19714Have you passed muster?
19714How can you say so, father?
19714How did they get the news of our coming?
19714How do you manage coming back?
19714How do you mean, count?
19714How far are we from Erfurt, now?
19714How have things gone, major?
19714How is your master, Karl?
19714How long do you think that we shall take?
19714How long have you been on the road?
19714How long have you been out here?
19714How long shall I be before I am fit for duty again?
19714How long will that be, Lindsay?
19714I hope the horse came back safely, Lindsay?
19714I should like nothing so much, count; but might I not get you into trouble, if it were known that you had one of the king''s officers at your house?
19714I suppose you have not dined yet, Karl?
19714I suppose you would not have recognized me?
19714In what way, Karl?
19714Is Mr. Drummond up?
19714Is that the headquarters of the French general?
19714Is the marshal in his room?
19714Is the way we came this morning the shortest?
19714Is there anything we can do, father?
19714Is there much duelling here?
19714Is there no news of Ziethen?
19714Is there nothing that we can do for you? 19714 Is there still room left for me, do you think?"
19714Karl, are you there?
19714May I ask if, by the last news, Marshal Daun is still near Hochkirch?
19714May I ask what is the news, sir?
19714Now, commanding officer, what is to be our next tale?
19714Now, sir, is there anything that I can do for you?
19714Now, that has not been so dreadful, has it?
19714Now, which of you is the captain?
19714Now,Fergus went on,"what is the lowest price that one of you will take me and my horse down to Dresden for?
19714Oh, sir,she said,"is it possible that you, who look so young, can be the one who came to our assistance, and killed those six evil men?
19714Six months or six years; who can tell?
19714That all seems possible enough, Drummond,Captain Ritzer said;"but what about our uniforms?"
19714The only question is, when is the first visit to take place? 19714 Then shall we say five o''clock?"
19714Then you have not the most remote idea where you will find your servant and horse?
19714Then you never thought of such a thing?
19714There is nothing I can do for you?
19714To that I must reply,Fergus said with a smile,"''How long are you thinking of stopping here?''
19714Tomorrow?
19714Was anyone else hurt?
19714Was it really you who saved us, the other night?
19714Well, Captain Drummond, so you have been playing the spy for us?
19714Were these the only two men in the house?
19714What about?
19714What am I to do, your honour?
19714What are you waiting here for?
19714What disguise do you, yourself, fancy?
19714What do you mean?
19714What do you say, Thirza?
19714What do you say, Thirza?
19714What force is there opposed to us?
19714What happened when you came in?
19714What has become of Karl? 19714 What is it, Major Drummond?"
19714What is its work, principally?
19714What is the gentleman''s name?
19714What is there for me to do, count, outside the army? 19714 What is your business, sir?"
19714What is your name, sir?
19714What next, I wonder?
19714What o''clock is it?
19714What, have you got another step, Drummond?
19714Whence do you bring it?
19714Where am I hit?
19714Where are their rooms?
19714Where can I get help from?
19714Where have you been, Karl?
19714Where is the colonel?
19714Where is your messenger, Keith?
19714Where is your new aide- de- camp, marshal?
19714Which way did you travel?
19714Which way is it, Major Drummond? 19714 Who is its commander?"
19714Who is the young fellow, do you know him?
19714Who is there? 19714 Who is we, Karl?"
19714Why do you not bring it here?
19714Why do you not salute, sir?
19714Why so?
19714Why, Fergus,he exclaimed,"have you been robbing the King of Poland''s stables?
19714Why, I thought you lodged in the palace?
19714Why, how was that, Karl?
19714Will he live, sir?
19714Will one of you ask the count to see me? 19714 Will the scars on your face always show as they do now?"
19714Will they never stop?
19714Will you come in, sir?
19714Will you go this afternoon?
19714Will you have the uniform complete, with belts, helmet, and all equipments?
19714Would it not be possible, captain,Fergus asked,"to hire a boat?"
19714You are not really in earnest, Drummond,Stauffen said,"in what you say about escaping?"
19714You are the bearer of a letter to me, sir?
19714You are with Stauffen and Ritzer, are you not, major?
19714You brought your horse safe out of the battle, I hope?
19714You did not see the countess, I suppose, Karl?
19714You do n''t think there is any chance of escape, surely, major?
19714You have Major Drummond in with you, have you not?
19714You saw the fellows, then? 19714 You were in no danger, yourself?"
19714You were not present, yourself?
19714Your master is not killed?
19714After that, who knows?"
19714And what was the next occasion?"
19714And where did you get your last step?"
19714As Karl was helping Fergus into his uniform, he asked:"How long were you in coming here, count?"
19714At any rate, if we do n''t mean to fight, what are we here for?"
19714But how is he disfigured?"
19714But tell us first, how were you captured?"
19714Can I speak to you for a moment?"
19714Can you tell us how matters have gone, up there?"
19714Could you come at that hour?"
19714Did he get safely back?"
19714Did you learn anything more than what Marshal Keith has told me?"
19714Do you see any difference between them?"
19714Does my officer wish to take a full- dress suit with him?"
19714Fergus exclaimed,"where do you spring from-- when did you arrive?"
19714Fergus exclaimed,"where do you spring from-- when did you arrive?"]
19714Fergus went up to him and said:"Can you tell me, sir, if Marshal Keith is among the killed?
19714Had they left before you got there?
19714Had you formed any plans as to what you would have done, had you found him absent?"
19714Have you any news?"
19714Have you heard the last news?"
19714Have you not heard the news?
19714How do you feel now, sir?"
19714How do you get on with them?"
19714How goes the battle?"
19714How have you learnt it?"
19714How much land goes with it?"
19714How was it that they suffered you to escape with your life?
19714How was it that you heard of the attack?"
19714I myself have risen too; but what does it bring?
19714I suppose you know nothing of this beastly language?"
19714I wonder whether the rooms above and below this are tenanted?"
19714Is he alone?"
19714Lieutenant Lindsay, who was on duty, came forward, looked at him doubtfully for a moment, and then shouted joyfully:"Why, Drummond, is it you?
19714Now, have you spare clothes on board?"
19714Now, shall I go first, or will one of you?"
19714One may be cold and wet and hungry, but who cares?
19714Or an out- of- the- way thing that I should gladly give her to you?"
19714Sackville looked at him as he shouted in English, with astonishment and rage:"And who the devil are you?"
19714Shall I go over and inquire what is going on?"
19714The question is, what is to be done with them?
19714The servant went in, a moment later held the door open, and said:"Will you enter, sir?"
19714There is still a spare room on your corridor, is there not?
19714We have not ill treated you in any way, have we?"
19714Well, which shall it be-- infantry or cavalry?''
19714What do you value them at?"
19714What is it?"
19714What must you have thought of me?"
19714What relation was he to you?"
19714What strength were they?"
19714When do you think of starting for Scotland?"
19714Which way do you intend to cross the passes into Saxony?"
19714Who could possibly have believed that a young fellow, not yet twenty, I should say, could have so distinguished himself?
19714Who is he related to?"
19714Why should you not do the same?"
19714Will you let us have a share of the fire?"
19714Will you tell me how it happened?"
19714Would it be such an out- of- the- way thing for you to come to me, and ask her hand?
19714Would you object to each side being accompanied by a second friend?
19714You are well enough to walk to the hotel?"
19714You come from Vienna?"
19714You have no more kinsmen coming at present, Keith?''
19714Your majesty has nothing more to say to him?"
19714he exclaimed,"where do you spring from-- how did you know that I was here-- when did you arrive?"
2118All bad as Poetry, those Verses?
2118Attacked, you?
2118Burn the Suburbs?
2118Defend? 2118 Have not I reconquered Silesia?"
2118How is this?
2118I am sorry indeed to hear that!--Were there Generals too in your house? 2118 MY DEAREST SISTER,--What is the good of philosophy unless one employ it in the disagreeable moments of life?
2118Neutrality to Hanover?
2118No, you are an honest man:--probably a Protestant?
2118On the Height beyond Neumarkt, that will be?
2118Or else?
2118Recapture of Silesia?
2118Rest:--and Daun, coming on with 30,000 of reinforcement to them, might arrive this night? 2118 Send to Kur- Mainz say you?
2118Shall not we reap, then, where there is such a harvest standing white to us?
2118Shall we order that to cease, your Majesty?
2118Should you have known me again?
2118Swedes, what are they?
2118To see the--what shall we call it: seat of honor, in fact,"of your enemy:"has it not an undeniable charm?
2118Well, children, how think you it will be to- morrow? 2118 What IS all that?"
2118What could I do? 2118 What does or can he mean, then?"
2118What is Friedrich? 2118 What is to hinder you from starving them into surrender?"
2118What made thee desert, then?
2118What sound is that?
2118When got you rid of your high guests?
2118Who are you?
2118Why not spare me a small English squadron, and blow these away?
2118Why not unite with the Swedes and take Stettin( the finest harbor in the Baltic), which would bring Russia, by ships, to your very hand?
2118Why not, if we do our duty at all, annihilate his trifle of an Army; take himself prisoner, and so end it?
2118You are dead, sirrah,said Daun;"hoisted to the highest gallows: Are not you?
2118''Again nominated, why again?''
2118''Do n''t I?''

2118But with regiments jammed in this astonishing way, and got collectively into the lion''s throat, what can be done?
2118But, indeed, what other shift has he,"considers Daun,"but to try rallying at Glogau yonder, safe under the guns?"

2118Quaggy Zaberngrund,--do readers remember it; one of those"Three continuous Leakages,"very important, to Fermor and us at present?
2118Riding up the line, all now grown dusky, Friedrich asks,"Any battalion a mind to follow me to Lissa?"

2118Some of the more veteran sort asked, ruggedly confidential, as well as loyal:"What is thy news, then, so late?"
2118Stiff dispute; and had the Austrians possessed the Prussian dexterity in manoeuvring, and a Friedrich been among them,--perhaps?

2118Such a Problem has this King: soluble within the time; or not soluble?
2118The Anecdote- Books( perhaps not mythically) add this:"Where are all your guns, though?"
2118The Russians, beaten to fragments, would not run: whither run?
2118The poor Prince takes post on what Heights there are, on his own side of the Neisse; looks wistfully down upon Zittau, asking How?
2118The quarrels of Kings have to be decided by the sword; what profit in unseemly language, Madam?"
2118There were twirls of that kind in Friedrich; intricate weak places; knots in the sound straight- fibred mind he had( as in whose mind are they not?

2118They, and the force they still had in Lissa, could easily have taken him: but how could they know?
2118This, it was afterwards surmised, had been a feint on Friedrich''s part; to give the Austrians pleasant thoughts:''Invading us, is he?

2118To which Bevern replies,"Excellent, truly; but how?"
2118Unhappily they did not arrive, or not in due quantity at the set time,--for what reason, by what strange mistake?
2118Was it ever seen before, that three great Princes laid plot in concert to destroy a Fourth, who had done nothing against them?
2118Was it here while waiting about Meissen, or where was it, that Daun got his Letter to Fermor answered in that singular way?

4067A court ball is to take place?
4067A prince of the blood who loves a little maid of honor, and wishes to marry her?
4067Against which of us is the anger of the king directed?
4067Ah, you are then an equal of the King of Prussia? 4067 Ah, you call these innocent studies?"
4067Ah, you know, then, that a courier has at last crossed that fatal bridge, and you come for news of the prince royal?
4067Ah, you pity them still, my son?
4067Ah,he said, despairingly,"you will not allow me even to behold your heavenly countenance; do you wish to drive me to distraction?
4067Ah,said he,"your majesty is thinking of a wedding?"
4067Ah,said the king,"and what are the prerogatives of a vice- regent?"
4067All?
4067Am I again to be paid with cunning smiles and scornful words? 4067 Am I still dreaming?"
4067An income of fifty thousand dollars is, therefore, not sufficient for a decent support?
4067And I ask, how does that concern me?
4067And Laura, have you obtained her consent?
4067And Madame von Morien?
4067And do you believe he would do that with the princess? 4067 And do you wish to belong to this order?"
4067And has the baron brought no letter for me?
4067And have you no compassion for the diamonds which long to repose upon your lovely bosom?
4067And if, in order to live in a style befitting a nobleman, I should nevertheless need more, what am I to receive for every thousand?
4067And is it impossible to have the wedding any sooner?
4067And may I also be a partaker of that grace and be counted amongst the friends of the king?
4067And may I also come, my noble sister?
4067And now, what have you to say to me?
4067And still you call this love an unfortunate one?
4067And this lady''s name?
4067And this letter was signed?
4067And this young girl is not sent to a mad- house?
4067And what of Madame von Morien?
4067And why impossible?
4067And why not?
4067And why not?
4067And why should I return to Berlin?
4067And why these amiable pleasantries?
4067And would that give you faith in my love?
4067And you have disbursed the sum necessary?
4067And you say that the letter is mine?
4067And you, dear duke, are you made happy? 4067 And you, will you let me wait in vain?"
4067And your name, Mademoiselle von Schwerin?
4067Are we not also happy?
4067Are you ignorant of the law by which all are forbidden to lend money to the princes of the royal house?
4067Are you not here as the ambassador of the royal court?
4067Are you so well acquainted with the queen that you know all the secrets of her heart?
4067Are you then so hungry?
4067Are you willing, Madame von Morien? 4067 As I do n''t know the way there, will your majesty allow me to return to Rheinsberg?
4067But I, poor, humble, weak girl that I am, how can I make good the loss you will sustain for my sake?
4067But how can we find a man so suddenly to whom this poor lamb can be sacrificed?
4067But how, if I remain and attempt to defend myself?
4067But if I tell you his royal highness is still asleep?
4067But if the lady should not love you?
4067But if you should fall?
4067But what has Count Voss to do with Laura''s love?
4067But what shall I receive for every thousand which I expend over and above that sum?
4067But what shall we do?
4067But who,said the boy, turning around,"will watch the shop?"
4067But why does our father attach such importance to this small affair?
4067But why pity her? 4067 But why should we seek for flowers in the garden,"said the king;"can there be lovelier blossoms than those now blooming on every side?"
4067But with what does the king occupy himself the entire day?
4067But you have your ministers?
4067But, for example, what heroic act?
4067But, my God,said Count von Goltz,"who will dare go forward?"
4067By what name are you called?
4067Can you believe this?
4067Can you write?
4067Child, child, what are you saying?
4067Could we not have the wedding at an early day, and the festival later? 4067 Dearest,"he murmured,"why do you weep, how can this little mischance make you so wretched?
4067Did I not tell you that the king was resolved to get rid of Boden?
4067Did I say that?
4067Did he really do that? 4067 Did you hear nothing?
4067Did you say dead? 4067 Did your highness know that the Jew was listening?"
4067Do I understand you to say that you expended two hundred thousand dollars in four years?
4067Do they know why I have sent for them?
4067Do they say that? 4067 Do you know, certainly, that this roaring woman is the daughter of our tailor?"
4067Do you know,asked the queen suddenly,"that we have a pair of lovers at my court?"
4067Do you not know, father? 4067 Do you not know, good man, that a thousand men stand below in the courtyard?
4067Do you remember that you promised to meet me in the garden?
4067Do you think I will be known?
4067Do you think so?
4067Does he not, then, love the princess royal?
4067Does not the beautiful Blanche wear one? 4067 Does the prince royal still love this lady?"
4067For whom are your flowers intended?
4067Gentlemen, do you believe that?
4067Has another ox or horse crossed the fatal bridge?
4067Has he seen them?
4067Has his majesty sent for you?
4067Has the coat- of- arms been placed upon the house in Jager Street?
4067Has the king sent you here with this message?
4067Has your father made his will? 4067 Have you forgotten our agreement?"
4067Have you not acted cruelly and unnaturally to me?
4067Have you read it?
4067Have you the courage to conceal a secret from your husband?
4067How can I decide to whom the letter belongs, as it bears no name?
4067How can a woman loved by the king be sad, or shed tears?
4067How can that help me? 4067 How dare you arise contrary to my command, and thus set yourselves in opposition to my kingly power?
4067How did I come here?
4067How do you know it?
4067How is the king?
4067How, and you still sigh, count?
4067How, my son, are you thinking of a divorce?
4067How, what then, my dear friend?
4067How? 4067 How?"
4067I will not dare to touch you again,he said, humbly;"but will you not promise me to come again?"
4067Impossible? 4067 Is he in a condition to hear some important news?"
4067Is he still the prince royal?
4067Is it bad news? 4067 Is it not the king?
4067Is it possible to live in such a den?
4067Is it then really true?
4067Is not our love as ardent, as passionate, and as pure as theirs?
4067Is not that the fate of all princes and princesses; are we not all born to be handled like a piece of goods, and knocked down to the highest bidder? 4067 Is the lady very rich?"
4067Is this, then, so astonishing?
4067Laura, my bride, my darling, when will the day come in which I can call you mine to all eternity?
4067Laura, my darling, do you remember your oath? 4067 Leontine?"
4067Listen, Fredersdorf,said he,"what meaning have all these mysterious words and looks; why are you all so grave?
4067Louise,said she, in a low voice,"what does all this mean?"
4067Madame,said he,"is it credible that we two have been married for seven long years, and still have never been as man and wife to each other?
4067Majesty,she said,"what would you do?
4067May I know the name of your fiancee?
4067May I read it, your majesty?
4067My creditors?
4067My worthy friends, did you also come to see the king?
4067No one?
4067Not so,said Pollnitz;"why so much reverence and so many titles?
4067Now,said he, slowly,"will you send me the wine which you promised from your cellar?
4067On the word of a count?
4067Pardon me for waking your majesty--"Majesty, why''your majesty?''
4067Perhaps at the wedding of one of your sisters?
4067Pollnitz, why are you looking so grave?
4067Preserve it? 4067 Prince royal?"
4067Shall we meet here again? 4067 She has put on her jewels, then, has she?
4067She is suffering,he murmured;"why should she suffer?
4067Sire,he said, hesitatingly,"your majesty demands to know the name of this young man?"
4067So my suspicions are correct, and it is against Austria that my king will make his first warlike movement?
4067Speak, what do you wish?
4067Suppose that he also refuses you?
4067That is your mother, Madame Schommer?
4067The empress is perfectly well, but her husband, the emperor--"Well, why do you not continue?
4067Then I can break the seal?
4067Then the letter does not belong to Louise?
4067Then the palace of the dowager queen must not be placed here?
4067Then you believe the prince royal will separate himself from his wife as soon as he obtains his freedom, that is, when he becomes king?
4067Then your highness has really no money?
4067There are, then, other evils which will harass you on your journey?
4067This is really too much,cried Knobelsdorf,"you are shameless; do you dare to speak of pity for the prince royal?
4067This love is then returned?
4067To me?
4067Unhappy child, do you not know that your father is present?
4067Well, Knobelsdorf, is there room here to carry out our extensive plans?
4067Well, and from what shall I protect you, little Louise?
4067Well, and this condition?
4067Well, and what think you of it?
4067Well, and who says that Blanche will not be the wife of a celebrated man, and that you will not be proud of me?
4067Well, and your name, my dear Madame Morien?
4067Well, baron,whispered the nun,"will you fulfil your promise?"
4067Well, father, do I please you? 4067 Well, have I not kept my promise?"
4067Well, then, in what does he deal?
4067Well, what is the costume of Madame von Brandt?
4067Well, what more?
4067Well, what says the king? 4067 Well,"repeated the young Von Cleist,"will you be gracious, and accept me for your husband?"
4067Well,said Anna,"do you intend to obey these commands?
4067Well,said he, laughing,"have you decided, mademoiselle?
4067Well,said she,"have you forgotten your name, Madame Morien?
4067Well,said the father exultingly,"what do you think of our fete?
4067What am I?
4067What amount will be required?
4067What are those papers which you hold?
4067What can the secret be?
4067What cry was that?
4067What did he say? 4067 What did your father tell you?"
4067What do I wish?
4067What do they mean by these ridiculous cries, and this waving of hats? 4067 What do you mean, count?
4067What do you mean, madame?
4067What do you mean, my king?
4067What do you want with me?
4067What does this mean? 4067 What game do you wish to play with me, mask?"
4067What if he was not there? 4067 What is it that takes him from his friends and fills up all his time?"
4067What is it?
4067What is the matter with this king, he seems to have lost his memory? 4067 What is the matter?
4067What is the name of this young man, for whom you show so lively an interest?
4067What is this one thing which Mademoiselle Orguelin has, and on account of which you are compelled to marry her?
4067What letter?
4067What more did he tell you?
4067What must I do to avert my ruin?
4067What reply do you make to this proposition?
4067What shall I do? 4067 What was written in this paper?"
4067What, you refuse to work for me?
4067Whence came he?
4067Where are we?
4067Where did you get these clothes, William?
4067Where is he?
4067Who are these pursuing enemies of yours?
4067Who dares affirm that this letter, which has no address, is not intended for me?
4067Who else would dare to adore me, or to send me flowers?
4067Who is Blanche?
4067Who spoke to you? 4067 Who will go now?"
4067Who?
4067Why are you so earnest and solemn to- day, my dear Pricker?
4067Why did you shrug your shoulders?
4067Why do these poor foolish people shout for joy?
4067Why do you advise this?
4067Why do you call me Dorris Ritter?
4067Why do you congratulate me?
4067Why do you not read on?
4067Why do you weep, Fritz?
4067Why does not the prince love me?
4067Why does not their father take care of them; perhaps he is not living?
4067Why have you arisen from your chairs?
4067Why should I care? 4067 Why should our harmless pleasure and amusements be given up?
4067Will not your majesty have the goodness to assist me, to reach me a helping hand and raise me from the abyss into which my creditors have cast me?
4067Will the sun never set?
4067Will you be a man or a woman dressmaker?
4067Will you swear that?
4067Will your majesty grant me a favor?
4067Would you still wish to marry me, even if the king had not commanded it?
4067Would your majesty not wish some restorative first?
4067Yes, and why not?
4067Yes, what more? 4067 Yes, you are right, who would dare?"
4067Yes,cried they all eagerly,"what are you?
4067You are content to serve me, provided I do not diminish my army, and do not impose new taxes upon the people?
4067You are poor, perhaps in want?
4067You are willing to remain Queen of Prussia, and nominally the wife of the king? 4067 You are, then, willing to be my wife before the world?"
4067You ask why I am thinking of divorces? 4067 You demand that I shall create no new debts; and how is it possible to avoid that, when I have not even the money to pay the old ones?
4067You desire your dresses made after the latest French style?
4067You do not approve of this plan?
4067You do not think I am justified in demanding this Silesia, which was dishonestly torn from my ancestors by the Hapsburger?
4067You do not?
4067You had not the letter, however, and could not receive the money?
4067You have children?
4067You have, then, nothing to ask of me?
4067You must? 4067 You say that I know nothing of love?"
4067You swear that you will marry no other than the one I name? 4067 You then advise me to go at once, without taking leave of the king?"
4067You then doubt my right to Silesia?
4067You then think that we could not live on the interest of six hundred thousand dollars?
4067You will already leave me, my son?
4067You will not, then, insist upon your resignation?
4067You would like to become a general, in order to marry the daughter of a count?
4067You would not be so cruel as to betray them to the king?
4067Your highness confesses that I have demanded nothing superfluous or exaggerated?
4067Your highness is to pay me upon the spot the interest upon the four thousand in ready money? 4067 Your majesty insists on knowing?"
4067Your majesty intends marching to Breslau?
4067Your majesty will not receive him, then?
4067Your money?
4067Ah, Fredersdorf,"said he, interrupting himself, as his valet approached him in a dusty travelling- suit,"have you just arrived from Berlin?"
4067All around her was movement, life, and merry- making; who would observe her?
4067Am I dreaming?
4067Am I not destined to reunite with my weak but beautiful hands two hearts which God himself has joined together?
4067Am I not surrounded by spies, who watch all my movements, listen to every word I utter, and then pour their poison into the ear of the king?
4067An indescribable anxiety overpowered her; had she lost the letter?
4067And now, Fredersdorf, tell me quickly how goes it in Berlin?
4067And what would the great painters have been without women-- without their lovely, their bewitching sweethearts, whom they changed into holy maidens?
4067And why was that fat man, who was seated on the sidewalk, sketching this sandy place with its poor little houses?
4067And you, Madame,"turning to Elizabeth,"how can you allow this angel to throw herself in the dust before you?
4067And you, my dear son, what do you say to all this?
4067Answer me, Pollnitz, did you not know the law of the Tobacco Club, forbidding you to arise from your seat?"
4067Are they enjoying themselves?
4067Are we not to act Voltaire''s''Death of Caesar?''
4067Are you all determined to make me cold- hearted and distrustful?
4067Are you minister of State or minister of Church affairs?"
4067Are you satisfied, my poor Fredersdorf?"
4067Are you satisfied?"
4067Are you so offended because I entreated you to accept a gift from me?
4067Are you willing?"
4067But for whom, then?
4067But how?
4067But what is that?"
4067But what is the meaning of that crowd over there?"
4067But what noise is this?"
4067But what was that?
4067But what would you?
4067But who was called to assist in organizing this new movement?
4067But who was she?
4067But who was this Leontine?
4067But who, then?
4067But why should I pity her?
4067But you, Count Manteuffel, why are you not like the flute?
4067But you, dear Jordan, what important position have you received?
4067But, when I have fulfilled my word, when you have sung in the royal palace before the queen and the court, then will YOU fulfil your promise?
4067Can this be the throne of a king who receives for the first time the homage of his subjects?"
4067Could it be as the queen had said?
4067Could it be this one?
4067Could we not erect our Acropolis here, and our temples to Jupiter and Minerva?"
4067Could we not, as is now customary in high circles, be married quietly, and have the festival at a later day?
4067Dear friend, what has love made of you?
4067Did he say that?"
4067Did not his majesty think it best to close these schools?
4067Did the king recognize this woman?
4067Did they not hear a carriage driving into the inner court, and the guard presenting arms amid the rolling of drums?
4067Did we not expect to die when we were separated?
4067Did we not wring our hands, and pray for death as a relief?
4067Did you ever stand upon a battle- field as a conqueror, surrounded by corpses, all your living enemies having fled before you?"
4067Did you give Manteuffel the plan of the campaign and the number of the troops?"
4067Do I love her?
4067Do I not marry her for your sake alone?"
4067Do we not love each other?
4067Do you at last know what it is to be afraid, you who never experienced the feeling on the field of battle?"
4067Do you fly from me because of this star upon my breast-- because I am called a royal prince?
4067Do you know his name?"
4067Do you no longer know the laws of the Tobacco Club?
4067Do you not find the music very beautiful and enticing?
4067Do you not hear faint tones of distant music?
4067Do you not know that these laws positively forbid you to arise from your seats to greet any one?
4067Do you not know that you are called Leontine?"
4067Do you not know that your wife worships, loves, adores you; that you are her salvation, her god?
4067Do you not remember my description of such a house?
4067Do you not think, Jordan, that this is a most suitable place on which to realize all those beautiful ideals of which we used to dream at Rheinsberg?
4067Does Mademoiselle von Schwerin know your hand?"
4067Does this programme meet with your approbation?"
4067Does your highness understand?
4067Does your majesty know that I have abolished the torture?"
4067Does your son speak French?"
4067Frederick came nearer to Ephraim, and eyeing him sternly, he said:"Are you mocking me?
4067Had the king discovered their plan?
4067Has he forgiven us?
4067Has the girl who is rich enough to pay the debts of a Pollnitz no guardian?"
4067Has the splendor of our mother bewildered you?
4067Have I the right to complain?
4067Have you lost your speech, or are you thinking whom you will command to dance with you at the ball this evening?"
4067Have you no compassion for the noble, heartfelt love of two children, who are as pure and innocent as the stars in heaven?"
4067Have you no recollection of the days of our ardent and passionate love?
4067Have you not heard that the Austrian empress intends to establish a new order-- an order of virtue and modesty?"
4067Have you not noticed how contemptuously he treats him-- never speaks to him or notices him, while he loves to chat with his other ministers?
4067Have you not sworn that you love me, and that you ask no greater happiness than to be united to me?"
4067Have you received my instructions?"
4067He seated himself, and said,"You agree to my proposal, mother?"
4067He turned to Pollnitz, and said:"What is the name of this woman who roars so horribly?"
4067Hear me, Dorris; you will not go to him?
4067Here is the letter; will you have the kindness to read the address?"
4067How and why did you come?"
4067How can I deceive him?
4067How can I understand that?"
4067How could a woman weep who could call that happiness her own-- to possess which Elizabeth would cheerfully give years of her life?
4067How could she love a man who had been only a tyrant and a despot to her and to her children?
4067How dare you treat me in this manner?
4067How dare you wound her?
4067How do I know that you do not entertain dangerous designs?
4067How is the king?"
4067How is this remedy called?"
4067How much could still be hoped for?
4067How?
4067How?
4067I implore you, tell me, is it so?
4067I lent to Knobelsdorf, for the prince royal, upon his mere word, my honest gold, and what have I received?
4067I promise you to receive this new baked countess if you will promise me to receive the Count Neal at your court?"
4067I see before you a glorious future; it may be I shall have passed away-- but where will my spirit be?
4067I suppose you would obtain the letter at any sacrifice?"
4067If so, why give our hearts to men?
4067If you compare me to the sun, how can you describe him?"
4067In the first place, what of the young queen?"
4067In what can I assist you?"
4067In what can I serve you?"
4067Is a physician with her?"
4067Is he convinced that we are his true, humble, and obedient servants?"
4067Is it not terrible to have a sweetheart, and never to have refused him a kiss, because he has never had the opportunity to demand one?
4067Is it possible that he suffers like other men?
4067Is it, Laura, because you deem me unworthy of your love?
4067Is not her lot mine, and that of all princes?
4067Is not the wife of the young king the deeply- loved niece of the Austrian empress?"
4067Is one of my dogs dead?
4067Is the assemblage a handsome one?
4067Is the queen gay?
4067Is there a woman on God''s earth whose heart is not half melted away with hot and unavailing tears?"
4067Is there no way to prevent this?"
4067Is this my son, my Karl, who loved me so dearly-- my boy, who was the only comfort in my misery, the confidant of my tears and wretchedness?
4067It is true that my father left me a fortune of about two hundred thousand dollars, but what is such a trifle to a nobleman?
4067It will be perfectly magnificent, will it not?
4067Kaiserling''s wit and Chazot''s merry humor, where are they?
4067Madame von Brandt laughed:"Two are needed for a gossip,"said she;"and how do you know that I am in the humor for that?
4067My cook obtained the receipt immediately; but what do you think?
4067No one else, did you say?
4067Now, Laura, do I know nothing of love?
4067Now, dear friends, am I not enviable?"
4067Or has your heart never been touched by love?
4067Or were you only a little annoyed at not having heard of this love affair?"
4067Poor Fredersdorf, do you think it such happiness to be a king?
4067Pray, who has inspired her with this unfortunate love?
4067Shall I lay aside my respectable dress, to replace it with a monkey- jacket, and become a laughing- stock to all honest men?
4067Shall I so far forget my God, my forefathers, and my native land, as to call French workmen into my German work- room?
4067She placed her hand lightly on his shoulder, and whispered, half tenderly, half reproachfully,"Dreamer, where are your thoughts?"
4067Speak, Laura, is it so?
4067Tell me, Pollnitz, how are matters progressing over there?
4067Tell us also what are you?"
4067The evening before I will be in the conservatory and await you; will I wait in vain?"
4067The king returned this salutation, and said:"You have really come to take leave, marquis?"
4067The king said nothing; sinking in the chair, and grasping the arms convulsively, he leaned his head back, and in a low voice asked,"Is it Suhm?"
4067The princess raised her arms imploringly on high, and her trembling lips whispered,"Pygmalion, why come you not to awaken thy Galatea?
4067The queen should become the woman, the obedient wife; had not the Bible said, and"he shall rule over thee"?
4067The question arises, is your aversion to me so great that you insist on a separation?"
4067This neglige?
4067To whom, then, does it belong?"
4067Was he speaking to these strangers, and that, too, in French?
4067Was it he who held Laura back, or had she herself forgotten her promise?
4067Was it our fault that others saw and pointed out this love without words, and which eyes of innocence only expressed?
4067Was it sealed?"
4067Was not England proud of her Elizabeth, Sweden of her Christina, Spain of Isabella, Russia of Catharine?
4067Was she unfaithful to her oath?
4067Was this young man really the son and heir of Mr. Pricker?
4067Well, what do you think of my story?"
4067Well, what is it?
4067Were there not examples in all lands of noble women who governed their people well and honorably?
4067What advantage was it to him to be the acknowledged tailor of two queens?
4067What cared they for a few lost pennies, now that their prince had become king?
4067What cares the world that I suffer?
4067What did all this mean?
4067What did he, their king, demand of them?
4067What did she die of?
4067What did you say to bring anguish to her heart and flood her face with tears?
4067What do you here, Dorris Ritter?"
4067What do you require of me?
4067What do you think, Knobelsdorf, will this place answer?"
4067What has become of it?
4067What have I done to deserve this new torture?
4067What have politics to do with love?
4067What if this was a plot, a snare laid for her feet?
4067What is the rank of this bride?"
4067What is the reason?
4067What is your fiancee''s name?"
4067What is your given name, Madame von Katsch?"
4067What more did he say?"
4067What name do you give the duty which I must take upon myself?"
4067What of the Emperor of Austria?"
4067What of the marriage of the Prince Augustus William?"
4067What orders do you bring us from his majesty?"
4067What shall I become?
4067What shall I do?
4067What shall I do?"
4067What sum would you consider necessary to enable you to live in a style befitting a nobleman?"
4067What use has Prussia for such a sovereign?
4067What, then, what have I done to deserve so much shame and sorrow?
4067When I ceased singing, why did you not applaud?"
4067When was it?
4067When, where did I see this cold, devilish smile, this face so cold and heartless, so full of iron egotism?"
4067Where is your judgment and your coquetry?
4067Where must the new opera- house be built?"
4067Where, then, are your friends?
4067Where?
4067Who but the poor gardener will die for you if you say no?
4067Who gave you the right to enter this house?
4067Who had so often and so heavily oppressed the prince as Colonel Derchau?
4067Who has taken it away from me?
4067Who is he?
4067Who knows but that the king himself will set the people a good example?"
4067Who made it for you?"
4067Who pitied, who saved me?
4067Who told you to speak until you were questioned?"
4067Who was it?
4067Who was that speaking with the young girl, who smilingly leant forward from the carriage and was laughing and jesting with him?
4067Who was that standing by the first carriage which had halted in front of Mr. Pricker''s house?
4067Who was the happy one to whom the prince had given his love?
4067Who will be favored, who receive the first rays of the rising sun?
4067Who, then, would win the love of this impassioned young monarch?
4067Whom had the king chosen from amongst his friends and servants?
4067Why could not Sophia Dorothea accomplish as much or even more than her predecessor?
4067Why did Count Voss press the king''s hand, which was that moment graciously extended to him, to his lips?
4067Why did our parents give us modern educations if they wished us to conform to old- fashioned prejudice?"
4067Why do you keep me?
4067Why do you not compose such a work?"
4067Why do you not hear me?--why have not my sighs, my tears the power to bring you to my side?"
4067Why have you spies and eavesdroppers at all places?
4067Why impossible?"
4067Why is Bielfeld''s ringing laugh and the flute of Quantz silenced?
4067Why is the king so furious?
4067Why might not this poem have been intended for the princess as well as for Madame von Morien?
4067Why should not Sophia Dorothea reign?
4067Why was Elizabeth now so much rejoiced at the beauty of which she had never before seemed conscious?
4067Why was his beloved so splendidly attired?
4067Why was the queen kissing even now his beautiful Laura, and handing her this splendid diamond diadem?
4067Why was the royal family gathered around her?
4067Why were you in that position?
4067Why were you weeping, Laura?
4067Why will you not change this marble statue into a woman of flesh and blood, with heart and soul?
4067Why, notwithstanding all this, will he condemn us to be and to continue to be the children of a tailor?
4067Will I not then compel him sometimes to think of me with pride?"
4067Will he take us into his favor again?
4067Will my mother''s threats and commands find you strong and brave?
4067Will the king remember the oath of the captain?
4067Will the king remember these things, now that he has the power to punish and revenge his wrongs?
4067Will you be less kind and humane than this tender, modest Laura?
4067Will you be true and firm?
4067Will you do this for me, my son?"
4067Will you give me as interest a few costly pearls-- pearls which lie hidden in that flute, and which appear at your magical touch?
4067Will you help me; will you stand by me in this work with your experience and your advice?"
4067Will you not place them in the bouquet which you arrange every morning for the princess?"
4067Will you wear the queue and the narrow, coarse frock coat?"
4067Would not Dorris Ritter now rise to power and influence, be prayed to as a lovely saint, her shame being covered with a martyr''s crown?
4067Would the king, now that he was free to act, remember poor Dorris and what she had suffered for him; her sorrow, her shame, and her despair?
4067Would you make of the prince royal a travelling musician, who must play before the Jew, in order to soften his heart?--would you--?
4067You desire it-- you who profess to love me?"
4067You knew this; then why were you not satisfied to wait until I sent for you?"
4067You positively refuse to excite the envy of all the ladies at court by possessing the most costly cashmere?
4067You say she loves another, and still desire that I should compel her to marry Count Voss?"
4067You swear that you will overcome all obstacles, and be withheld by no prayers or reproaches?"
4067You were speaking, I think, of the marriage of one of the princes?"
4067You will let no earthly power tear you from me?
4067You will not accept the hand of Count Voss?
4067You will not falter?
4067You will withhold my gold from me?
4067Your majesty will not accept my resignation?"
4067although she is no flute, do you believe he would cast her aside?"
4067am I the only one who suffers from the closeness of the king?
4067and have not all the court ladies adopted them?
4067and the princesses, are they dancing merrily?"
4067are not the people of Berlin crying for bread, whilst the royal larder is filled to overflowing?
4067are you laboring to turn my heart to stone-- to cut off my soul from faith and love?
4067are you not afraid that your ancestors will rise from their graves to punish you?"
4067are you not still my best beloved, my beautiful, my adored Anna?
4067asked the old man;"have you not tortured me?
4067because your heart feels no emotion for me?
4067can I bear this and live?"
4067can not, when I your king and lord command it?"
4067cried Laura;"can you demand this of me?
4067cried M. Pricker, rising from his chair and looking threateningly at Anna,"who is Blanche?"
4067did he hear again the dying melodies of his early youth?
4067did not Sophia Amelia''s portrait hang in the library of the crown prince?
4067did not the English princess wear his picture constantly near her heart?
4067do I not understand the greatness of the sacrifice which I demand of you?"
4067do we not all suffer?
4067do you dare to boast of having lent him money, while you only did it knowing he could and would repay you with interest?"
4067do you not hear their shouts and rejoicings?
4067exclaimed the count,"you will compel me?"
4067exclaimed the marquis,"your majesty intends making a descent on the lands of my exalted sovereign?"
4067exclaimed the princess,"and came to greet me as your queen?"
4067exclaimed the queen, impatiently;"it is then not Count Voss?
4067exclaimed the queen, sympathizingly,"but are there no heiresses among the nobility, whose fortunes might save you?"
4067had it been stolen from her?
4067had not King George, although too late, declared his willingness for the betrothal?
4067had she not been the choice of his heart?
4067had she not sworn never to be the wife of another man?
4067had they not loved each other with the enthusiasm of youth, although they had never met?
4067has he declared you his heiress?"
4067have not I suffered?
4067have you not murdered me, with a smile upon your lips, as you did your poor mother, who died of grief?
4067he cried, beside himself with delight;"you admit that it is not I alone who love?"
4067he exclaimed, interrupting himself,"why is the lord marshal approaching his majesty with such an eager, joyful air?
4067how dare we poor Jews complain when the heir to a throne is harassed for money, and must endure privations?"
4067how did they deal with me?
4067how do I know but you are an enemy, corrupted by Austria, and wish to lead the king to his destruction?"
4067is it not fearful, intolerable, to wait so long for a declaration of love?
4067is it ugly to look upon?
4067is not that laughable?"
4067is not this attire worthy of a nobleman?
4067might not her husband cast her off and take this English princess for his wife?
4067murmured she,"am I then already mad?
4067murmured she;"with what other tales did he amuse my child?"
4067no, why should we listen?
4067or are you only peevish because this abominable fever has cheated you of the rehearsal?"
4067our love?"
4067said Count Manteuffel;"no compassion for the charming villa which you could purchase?
4067said Laura, mournfully;"you are affianced to the Princess of Brunswick?"
4067said Louise,"and why have you hidden the most beautiful ones?
4067said his father, approaching him slowly;"who gave you the money to pay for them?
4067said the king,"and what signifies this strange movement among the singers?"
4067said the king,"is the empress, our noble aunt, suffering?"
4067said the mother anxiously;"did I not, before I went out, give you the money to buy bread for you and your little sister?"
4067said the queen angrily;"why did you not make known to me the name of Laura''s lover?"
4067shall I open this letter?"
4067shall I really suffer the fate of Petrarch, and pass my life in an eternal dirge?
4067she murmured, passing her hand across her brow, and pushing aside her long dark hair--"am I still dreaming?"
4067she said;"what does the king desire in this den of poverty and misery?"
4067she was then magnificently attired?"
4067that is the king''s voice; to whom is he speaking?"
4067that you have no love for your sovereign, only envy and hatred, only malice and cunning?
4067then you have a special princess for whom you gather flowers?"
4067upon whom would he revenge himself?
4067was he listening to their sweet, but melancholy tones?
4067was it only in fearful dreams, or was it a frightful reality?
4067was the king really coming to his wife?
4067what brings you here?"
4067what have I betrayed?"
4067what is it that causes my beloved to sigh?"
4067what is that noise?
4067what then?
4067what woman can boast that she ever closed that abyss and always retained the keys?"
4067where are you?
4067where is your father?"
4067which of the ladies bore that name?
4067who had broken their wills, cut off their hopes, and trodden under foot, not only the queen, but the mother?
4067who had carried out the harsh commands of the king against him so unrelentingly?
4067who had mocked at him and persecuted him so bitterly?
4067whom had he set aside?
4067why can I not please my husband?--why will he never look upon me with admiration?"
4067why do they call you by thy name?
4067why do you condemn me to such torture; why has your heart no pity with me, no pity with my love?
4067why do you fly from me?
4067why do you torture me?
4067why is there not a war?"
4067will you let me enjoy here another hour of your dear presence?
4067you defend her?"
4067you do not know, then, that his majesty is dying?"
4067you mean to lead a wretched life with your wife; to quarrel with her every now and then, do you?"
