The chancellor was wise; it would be better to dally with the truth than needlessly to sacrifice ten thousand lives. But what had the lieutenant further to conceal? The ambassador wanted no dinner. He rang for his hat and coat, and twenty minutes later he was in the chancellor's cabinet. "You seem out of health, Baron," was the chancellor's greeting. "I am indeed that, Count.
Thence to White Hall again, and there spent the afternoon, and then home to fetch a letter for the Council, and so back to White Hall, where walked an hour with Mr. Wren, of my Lord Chancellor's, and Mr.
Alfred soon made many friends among the clever young men of his day, chief among them being Arthur Hallam, whose father was a famous historian. At college Tennyson won the chancellor's prize for a poem on Timbuctoo, and the following year he published a second little volume of poems. This, though kindly received by some great writers, made hardly more stir than the little volume by "Two Brothers."

Except during school hours Miss Braithwaite always retired during the Chancellor's visits, and so now the two were alone. "Otto," said the Chancellor gravely, "I want to talk to you very seriously." "Have I done anything?" "No." He smiled. "It is about something I would like you to do. For your grandfather." "I'll do anything for him, sir." "We know that. This is the point.
The moment Lieutenant Butzow had reached Lustadt he had gone directly to Prince von der Tann; but the moment his message had been delivered to the chancellor he sought out the chancellor's daughter, to tell her all that had occurred at Blentz. "I saw but little of Mr. Custer," he said. "He was very quiet. I think all that he has been through has unnerved him.
I was the intimate of the Austrian and English ambassadors; consequently, was caressed and esteemed in all companies. I soon became the favourite of the chancellor's lady, as I shall hereafter notice; and nothing more was wanting to obtain all I could wish.
