Then we slept in a hay-shed until two o'clock, drank lots of milk, and hunted again until sunset, bringing down twenty-five grouse and two mountain-hens. I shot four of the former; Engel, to his great delight, one of the latter. Then we dined in the hunting-lodge, a remarkable wooden building on a peninsula in the lake.
"Besides," added Rudolf with a smile, "neither the colonel nor I would let you have a chance at Rupert. He's our game, isn't he, Sapt?" The colonel nodded. Rudolf in his turn took paper, and here is the message that he wrote: "Holf, 19, Konigstrasse, Strelsau. All well. He has what I had, but wishes to see what you have. He and I will be at the hunting-lodge at ten this evening.
"And if it is?" asked Michael, with his sour smile. "He'll be knocked on the head, brother," said I. "You won't play with him any more?" urged Flavia. "Perhaps I shall." "He might bite again." "Doubtless he'll try," said I, smiling. Thence I passed to a rapturous description of the hunting-lodge which he had lent me. But he rose suddenly to his feet.
The Danes had ruined the stables and hunting-lodge, Anno 1628; item, destroyed several rooms in the castle; and in the locamentum of his Princely Highness Duke Philippus, where, Anno 22, he so graciously entertained me and my child, as will be told further on, now dwelt the innkeeper Nicolas Graeke; and all the fair tapestries, whereon was represented the pilgrimage to Jerusalem of his Princely Highness Bogislaus X, were torn down and the walls left grey and bare.
The Constable of Zenda broke in with a short laugh. "On my life," said he, "how things fall out! We say he will go to the hunting-lodge, and he goes!" "If Rupert goes if Rischenheim doesn't stop him!" I urged again. The queen rose from her seat and stretched out her hands towards us. "Gentlemen, my letter!" said she. Sapt wasted no time. "Bernenstein," said he, "you stay here as we arranged.
But that beautiful old hunting-lodge, the Stamm Schloss of your family, with the adjacent farms, can be now repurchased very reasonably. The brewer who bought them is afflicted with an extravagant son, whom he placed in the Hussars, and will gladly sell the property for L5,000 more than he gave: well worth the difference, as he has improved the farm- buildings and raised the rental.
It was the same that he had worn at the hunting-lodge, and was ragged and torn from the boar-hound's teeth. Rudolf tore it further open, and his hand dashed in. "God's curse on you!" snarled Rupert of Hentzau. But Mr. Rassendyll still smiled. Then he drew out a letter. A glance at it showed him the queen's seal. As he glanced Rupert made another effort. The one hand, wearied out, gave way, and Mr.
The Prince rode away to his hunting-lodge at three leagues from X , and three days after that Maxime de Magny died in prison; having made a confession that he was engaged in an attempt to rob the Jew, and that he had made away with himself, ashamed of his dishonour. 'But it is not known that it was the General himself who took his grandson poison: it was said even that he shot him in the prison.
In a central spot of this solitary region, the Emperor had built a gorgeous hunting-lodge, to which he resorted annually for recreation and relief from the cares of government. Parts of this paper have been translated by the Jesuit missionaries. By-and-by this vast sheet of mist began to thicken towards the horizon, and to roll forward in billowy volumes.
The arms of the Brooke family are to be seen emblazoned on the walls, a member of whom, Sir Basil, was he who christened the hunting-lodge of the Giffards "Boscobel," from the Italian words "bos co bello," on account of its woody situation. It is long since the Brookes migrated from Madeley now close upon two centuries.
