To him, as well as to Carl Perousse, we owe the ridiculous urbanities of such extreme foreign diplomacies as expose our secret forces of war to our rivals; from him emanates the courteous and almost servile attention with which we foolishly exhibit our naval and military defences to our enemies.
The vehemency of Austrian Diplomacies at Petersburg; and the horror of Kaiserinn and Kriegshofrath in Vienna, who have just discharged 20,000 of their own people, counting on this Czernichef, and being dreadfully tight for money, may be fancied. But all avails nothing. The ardent Czar advances towards Friedrich with arms flung wide.
For Seckendorf the Feldzeugmeister was here also, on military function, not forgetful of the Diplomacies; who busily assailed his Majesty, on the Kaiser's part, in the same direction: "Give up Stanislaus, your Majesty! But without the least effect, now or afterwards.
You were bound to give me an opportunity of speaking to you once again, I think." In his present state of detachment from all worldly considerations, absolute truthfulness compelled Richard. The event was so certain, the swarming of the bees so very near, that small diplomacies, small evasions, seemed absurdly out of place. "I did not want to hear you speak," he said.
Also, she had VERY NEAR had an offer of marriage from George Van Berckel; and she went into explanations about her diplomacies in avoiding it. "Poor George!" she sighed, and then, looking up, was a trifle dismayed at the expression upon Cornelia's face.
Given his antecedents and upbringing, Richard was bound to hold the marriage tie in rather superstitious reverence, and was likely to entertain slightly superannuated views regarding the obligation of reticence in the discussion of family matters. She feared she had reckoned insufficiently with all this in her eagerness, forgetting subtle diplomacies. Her approach had lacked tact and finesse.
We are apt sometimes to complain that so much of importance in our lives is at the dispensation of accident, yet how often too are we compelled to confess that some of the happiest and most fruitful circumstances of our lives are due to the far-seeing diplomacies of chance. Among no set of circumstances is this more true than in the fateful relations of men and women.
What the young Crown-Prince did, said, thought, in such environment, of backstairs diplomacies, female sighs and aspirations, Grumkow duels, drillings in the Giant Regiment, is not specified for us in the smallest particular, in the extensive rubbish-books that have been written about him.
If sovereign persons want their diplomacies NOT to be swept into the ash-pit, there are two conditions, especially one which is peremptory: FIRST, that they should not be lies; SECOND, that they should be of some importance, some wisdom; which with known lies is not a possible condition.
The war of the great attack will have given place to the war of the military deadlock; the war of the deadlock will have gone on, and as the great combatants have become enfeebled relatively to the smaller States, there will have been a gradual shifting of the interest to the war of treasons and diplomacies in the Eastern Mediterranean.
