With these words she gave him a push, and the sturdy, broad shouldered man turned at her bidding, saying to Will, who entered the house with him: "They are all commanders whether they be large or small it's born in them, I suppose." Regine von Eschenhagen stood at the window of her cosy room looking out upon her beloved Burgsdorf, which she was to leave in a few days.
Will you please take that black leather satchel, sir the one on the back seat with the heavy straps. Can't you hurry?" The little foot stamped impatiently on the ground, for the master of Burgsdorf stood and stared at her with open mouth.
I see now that you are far wiser and more prudent than the old fool Burgsdorf, and that you have learned more in your twenty years than will ever penetrate my thick skull. You are a great statesman, your highness; on my knees I implore your pardon for having doubted you, and beseech you, reject me not, sir!
Willibald knows the conditions under which I shall return to Burgsdorf. If he does not fulfill them, we are better apart." "It will be a long time before he will do that," said her brother-in-law, dryly. "When a man is asked to abandon the woman he loves for a mother's whim, he's not apt to do it if he's made of the right stuff." "You express yourself very freely," said Frau Regine, angrily.
But besides this, the Emperor expressly adds sixty thousand dollars, to be employed in enlisting soldiers; and the money will be paid out to those leaders and colonels who have recruited such and such a number of soldiers. For each soldier they get eight rixdollars." "I shall recruit!" shouted Burgsdorf. "I shall go as commandant to Küstrin, and enlist a regiment besides!"

She had never changed her ultimatum regarding her return to Burgsdorf, and it is needless to add, Willibald had not changed. Adelheid asked her to go home with her and she had gone, feeling that her threat had as yet borne no fruit. Frau von Eschenhagen believed she could effect a revolution of feeling in Willibald's heart by this move.
He commissioned me to convey the tidings to you as he was led away." Count John Adolphus grew slightly pale, and exchanged a rapid glance of intelligence with Sebastian von Waldow. "Who arrested Colonel von Kracht?" he asked. "Colonel Conrad von Burgsdorf, most gracious sir.
They are to watch the windows night and day, sounding an alarm as soon as they observe anything suspicious. Come now. Reconnoiter the outer doors and post the sentinels. I am going to report to the Stadtholder." Colonel Burgsdorf left the count's palace, and repaired to the Electoral castle, where the Margrave Ernest von Jägerndorf had taken up his residence.
The Elector had his eyes fixed upon some papers lying on the table before him, and seemed absorbed in their perusal. Leuchtmar at last ventured to accost him. "Gracious sir," he said softly, "Colonel von Burgsdorf, whom you called, has come in and is waiting for your orders." "He is waiting!" cried the Elector.
