Study will be possible to him; improvement of his own faculties, at any rate. It is much his determination. Outwardly, besides drilling the Regiment Goltz, he will have a steady correspondence to keep up with his Brunswick Charmer; let him see that he be not slack in that. Friedrich, after some farther pause in Berlin, till things were got ready for him, went to Ruppin.
In the same region are Neu Ruppin and Rheinsberg, each connected with many memories of the youth of Frederick the Great. At the Castle of Rheinsberg he spent the comparatively happy years of his unhappy married life.
Regiment Goltz daily rolls its drums in Ruppin: Town otherwise lifeless enough, except on market-days: and the grandest event ever known in it, this removal of the Crown-Prince thither, which is doubtless much a theme, and proud temporary miracle, to Ruppin at present. Of society there or in the neighborhood, for such a resident, we hear nothing.
To escape from his dreary prison in Ruppin, he rushed into the bonds of wedlock. How could he ever forgive, how could he ever love this woman forced upon him, like drops of wormwood, and swallowed only with the hope of thereby escaping the torturous pains and last struggles with death? Elizabeth had been ignorant of all these bitter truths.
Reinsberg, we said, is in the AMT Ruppin; naturally under the Crown-Prince's government at present: the little Town or Village of Reinsberg stands about, ten miles north of the Town Ruppin; not quite a third-part as big as Ruppin is in our time, and much more pleasantly situated.
Not the express Sciences or Technologies; not these, in any sort, except the military, and that an express exception. These he never cared for, or regarded as the noble knowledges for a king or man. Fontenelle, Rollin, Voltaire, all the then French lights, and gradually others that lay deeper in the firmament: what suppers of the gods one may privately have at Ruppin, without expense of wine!
We, with the Duke of Lorraine and Majesty in person, saw his marriage to the Excellency Creutz's Fraulein Daughter not long since; who we trust has made him happy; rich he is at any rate, and will be Adjutant-General before long; powerful in such intricacies as this that the Prince has fallen into. "RUPPIN, 15th July, 1732. "MEIN GOTT, what a piece of news Buddenbrock has brought me!
What the exact revenues of Ruppin are, is not communicated; but we can justly fear they were far too frugal, and excused the underhand borrowing, which is evident enough as a painful shadow in the Prince's life henceforth. A thought too frugal, his Prussian Majesty; but he means to be kind, bountiful; and occasionally launches out into handsome munificence.
With the gay temper of eighteen, and her native loyalty of mind, she seems to have shaped herself successfully to the Prince's taste; and growing yearly gracefuler and better-looking was an ornament and pleasant addition to his Ruppin existence. Princess-Royal had Schonhausen given her; a pleasant Royal Mansion some miles out of Berlin, on the Ruppin side.
True friends and trusty messengers have been sent by Goldacker and myself to Prussia, to concert measures there with your adherents, and to rouse them to strong, energetic action. Sebastian von Waldow, superintendent of the palace and captain of Ruppin, assembles your friends together in perfect secrecy, and I daily expect from him exact accounts as to the success of his operations.
