"But, as I told Captain von Boehlen, we're a republic, and we're democrats. In many of the big ideas there's a gulf between us and Germany so wide that it can never be bridged. This war has made clear the enormous difference." Von Arnheim sighed. "And yet, as a people, we like each other personally," he said. "That's so, but as nations we diverge absolutely." "Perhaps, I can't dispute it.
For nine days, did the two armies remain within musket-shot of each other, when Count Terzky, from the camp of the Imperialists, appeared with a trumpeter in that of the allies, inviting General Arnheim to a conference. The purport was, that Wallenstein, notwithstanding his superiority, was willing to agree to a cessation of arms for six weeks.
He wished that his friend von Arnheim friend he regarded him would appear and tell him something about the battle, but his wish did not come true for an hour and meanwhile the whole heavens resounded with the roar of the battle, while distant flashes from the guns could be seen on either flank.
His words be these, 'Et de vray, c'est le plus fascheux et le plus incertain negocier de ceste court, que je pense soit au monde." And so "basting," as he said, "with a weak body and a willing mind; to do, he feared, no good work," he set forth from Middelburgh to rejoin Leicester at Arnheim, in order to obey, as well as he could, the Queen's latest directions.
George feasting, Knewstub sermons, and forces of Hercules, were all finished, the Earl had taken the field with five thousand foot and fifteen hundred horse. His intention was to clear the Yssel; by getting possession of Doesburg and Zutphen, but, hearing of Parma's demonstrations upon Grave, he abandoned the contemplated siege of those cities, and came to Arnheim.
General Arnheim, too, was absent the greater part of the time; and when he at last returned, Wallenstein was fast approaching the frontiers with a formidable force. His army amounted to 40,000 men, while to oppose him the allies had only 24,000. They nevertheless resolved to give him battle, and marched to Munsterberg, where he had formed an intrenched camp.
"I see the distant fringe of a battle," he replied amiably, "but it's too early in the morning for me to pass my judgment upon it." "Nevertheless you can look for a day of most desperate struggle!" Von Arnheim nodded very gravely. "Men by tens of thousands will fall before night," he said. As if to confirm his words, the roar of the battle took a sudden and mighty increase, like a convulsion.
He was to stay behind at the cave with Tom Bodine and Roy Stone, guarding the prisoners, Morales and Von Arnheim. When they had rescued Mr. Hampton, Jack and Bob would take him in the airplane and start flying to the Hampton ranch.
"Related to the Epstein & Son Millinery Company, Broadway and Spring?" "Thertainly am. I happen to be the thon mythelf." "Was you in the surf this mornin', Bella? It was grand!" "No, Myra," replied her friend. "Mr. Epstein and me took a trip to Ocean View." "You missed the water this mornin'. It was fine and dandy!" volunteered Mr. Arnheim. "Me and Mr. Epstein are goin' this afternoon ain't we?"
Him he was as certain of being able to bend to his views, as he had always been doubtful of Gustavus Adolphus. Having always maintained a good understanding with his old friend Arnheim, he now made use of him to bring about an alliance with Saxony, by which he hoped to render himself equally formidable to the Emperor and the King of Sweden.
