Bischofswerder obeyed; taking from the table a little bottle and a small brush, he carefully applied an adhesive substance to the edges, pressing them firmly together. "Master, no one could discover that it had been opened. Command what shall be done with it." "Give it to your servant, that he may return it to him who brought it, and the latter can now deliver it at its address."
"I will do every thing," cried Bischofswerder, fervently; "only make known to me their commands." "They desire, at the present, that you seek to be the confidant of the Prince of Prussia. Gain his affection, then govern him, making yourself indispensable to him. Surround him with servants and confidants that you can rely upon. Inspire him with devotion to the holy order.
"You would only be convinced, open then the letter," interrupted Cagliostro, sarcastically. With a sharp knife, Bischofswerder cut the end of the envelope, and handed the letter to him. "Give it to Chrysophorus," commanded the count. "He shall read it, and may the incredulous become a believer!"
"It is unnecessary," cried Bischofswerder, with enthusiasm. "We recognize in you truth and knowledge; you have revealed to us the contents." "Nay, there is a lingering doubt in the mind of brother Chrysophorus!" said Cagliostro, regarding Woellner fixedly, who stood with downcast eyes before him. "My ruler and master," stammered Woellner, in confusion, "I dare not doubt, only "
"Yes," answered Bischofswerder, "you know well, sublime master and ruler, how much I esteem and love the worthy and honorable Wollner, and how much weight his opinion has with me. In all my reports to the Invisible Fathers I have always particularly mentioned him, and it was upon my wish and proposal that they appointed him director of one of the three Berlin circles.
You will at once receive orders from the Invisible Fathers, announced to you in writing, and you will follow them faithfully." "I will follow them faithfully," humbly answered Bischofswerder. "You will be rewarded by the knowledge of life and of money; you shall discover the philosopher's stone, and the secret of gold shall be revealed to you, when you perform what the Invisible Fathers demand."
"I am fearfully hungry," groaned Bischofswerder; "besides, the air is suffocating. I am resolved to go to extremes, and make a noise." He rushed like a caged boar from one door to the other, shrieking for the lackey to open the door; but as before, a loud bark was the only response. "The Lord has forsaken us," whimpered Woellner. "The sublime Fathers have turned their faces away from us.
The fact of Bischofswerder being with him, and fearful of appearing weak and wanting in courage in the eyes of his friend and favorite, prevented him. After several hours' drive, they stopped at the marble palace of Potsdam, near the one which the prince was accustomed to occupy. His highness looked cautiously around, and breathed more freely, as he felt that he was now surely among friends.
Bischofswerder and Woellner recognized this difficulty, and applied themselves the more energetically for its removal. They supposed that the unexpected arrival of Cagliostro would very naturally appear to the prince as a special messenger, sent, without doubt, from the fathers, to accomplish his conversion.
You now belong to the virtuous and honorable, whom the Invisible Fathers bless!" "Is it true, Bischofswerder," said the prince, languidly, "that I have sworn to renounce Wilhelmine Enke, and never to love her more?" "You have sworn it by all that is holy, and all in heaven and on earth have heard your oath, and there is joy thereat."
