Signor Stromboli was effusive in his greeting; Herr Tiefenbach gave him a solemn grip; little Fraeulein Ottilie smiled pleasantly, and Schreiermeyer put into his hands the basket he carried, judging that as he could not get anything else out of the literary man he could at least make him carry a parcel. 'Grape fruit for Cordova, he observed.
'You can give it to the steward, and tell him to keep the things in a cool place. Griggs took the basket with a slight smile, but Stromboli snatched it from him instantly, and managed at the same time to seize upon the book Herr Tiefenbach had brought without dropping his own big box of sweetmeats. 'I shall give everything to the waiter! he cried with exuberant energy as he turned away.
WALLENSTEIN. How hath Isolani declared himself? ILLO. He's yours, both soul and body, Since you built up again his faro-bank. WALLENSTEIN. And which way doth Kolatto bend? Hast thou Made sure of Tiefenbach and Deodati? ILLO. What Piccolomini does that they do too. WALLENSTEIN. You mean, then, I may venture somewhat with them? ILLO. If you are assured of the Piccolomini.
FIRST SERVANT. Why, the reason is, that German lord, Tiefenbach, sits at that table. They are soaring too high. What do you stand there listening for? I will let you know you have legs presently. Off! see to the tables, see to the flasks! Look there! Count Palfi has an empty glass before him! The great service-cup is wanted, sir, that rich gold cup with the Bohemian arms on it.
ANSPESSADE. There came to hand a letter from the emperor Commanding us, collectively, from thee All duties of obedience to withdraw, Because thou wert an enemy and traitor. WALLENSTEIN. And what did you determine? ANSPESSADE. All our comrades At Braunau, Budweiss, Prague, and Olmutz, have Obeyed already; and the regiments here, Tiefenbach and Toscano, instantly Did follow their example.
These words seemed to make some impression upon the old huntsman; he hung down his head and looked thoughtful. We were then climbing the wooded steeps which separate the poor village of Tiefenbach from the Castle of Nideck. Night had closed in.
To deprive his enemy of so powerful an ally, he had opened, through the intervention of Spain, a negociation with the Elector; and in order to facilitate an accommodation, Tiefenbach was ordered immediately to retire from Saxony.
'Read the book, said Herr Tiefenbach earnestly, as he shook hands. 'It is a deep book. 'Do not forget me! cried Stromboli sentimentally, and he kissed Margaret's gloves several times. 'Good-bye, said Fraeulein Ottilie. 'Every one is sorry when you go! Margaret was not a gushing person, but she stooped and kissed the cheerful little woman, and pressed her small hand affectionately.
TIEFENBACH. Clear at head, sound in stomach only my legs won't carry me any longer. Poor legs! how should they! Such an unmerciful load! TIEFENBACH. 'Twas that war in Pomerania that first brought it on. Out in all weathers ice and snow no help for it. I shall never get the better of it all the days of my life. GOETZ. Why, in simple verity, your Swedes make no nice inquiries about the season.
Her mother-in-law, heaven rest her soul, taught her! Ah! that was a housewife for you! TIEFENBACH. There was not her like in all Bohemia for setting out a table. Do me the favor to talk to me talk of what you will or of nothing. Only preserve the appearance at least of talking.
