But I'm in Berlin not in Rheinsberg, and so I have gathered up my meagre scraps of French and thanked the Prince of Baireuth for his offer in a manner which is far more a refusal than an acceptance. No joking please, Sonnsfeld. It was the only answer I could possibly send to the Prince's tender epistle. Impossible!
This of Baireuth proved a notable possession to the Hohenzollern family: it was Conrad the first Burggraf's great-grandson, Friedrich, counted "Friedrich III." among the Burggraves, who made the acquisition in this manner, A.D. 1248.
"Visit to my Daughter at Baireuth," he calls it publicly; but it means intrinsically Excursion into Bohmen, to have a word with the Kaiser, and see his Imperial Majesty in the body for once. Too remarkable a thing to be omitted by us here.
The empress-queen declares herself ready to renounce the concluded treaty of inheritance to the succession of Bavaria at the death of Elector Charles Theodore; also to give up the district seized, if Prussia will promise to resign the succession of the Margraves of Anspach and Baireuth, and let them remain independent principalities, governed by self-dependent sovereigns."
Wilhelmina is very poorly; "near her time," as wives say; rusticating in "the Hermitage," a Country-House in the vicinity of Baireuth; Husband and Father-in-law gone away, towards the Bohemian frontier, to hunt boars.
These are the phenomena at Baireuth; Husband and Father-in-law having quitted their boar-hunt and hurried home. After three days, Friedrich Wilhelm rolled away again; lodged, once more, at Meuselwitz, with abstruse Seckendorf, and his good old Wife, who do the hospitalities well when they must, in spite of the single candle once visible.
"at Erlangen, the Serene Dowager snatched up fifty of them into her own House for Christian refection; and Burghers of means had twelve, fifteen and even eighteen of them, following such example set. "At Baireuth," other side of Nurnberg, "it was towards Good Friday when the Pilgrims under their Commissarius arrived.
Middendorf's age permitted him to go only with the youngest pupils, who made the shortest trips. These excursions led the little boys into the Thuringian Forest, the Hartz Mountains, Saxony and Bohemia, Nuremberg and Wurzburg, and the older ones by way of Baireuth and Regensburg to Ulm.
There was then left one Son; the same who at length inherited Baireuth too, inherited Lady Craven, and died in Bubb Doddington's Mansion, as we often teach our readers. Last year, the Third Daughter was engaged to the Heir-Apparent of Brunswick; will be married, when of age.
Patience, my shrill Princess, Beauty of Baireuth and the world; let us hope all will come right again! My shrill Princess who has a melodious strength like that of war-fifes, too knows how to be patient; and veils many things, though of a highly unhypocritical nature. These were Three great Days at Baireuth; Wilhelmina is to come soon, and return the visit at Berlin.
