Old Duke Eberhard Ludwig of Wurtemberg, the unfortunate old gentleman bewitched by the Gravenitz "Deliver us from evil," used to be the Reich's-Feldmarschall of Protestant persuasion; Commander-in-Chief for the Reich, when it tried fighting.
Eberhard sprang from his bed with an exclamation of rage, and Herr Carovius left immediately and unceremoniously. Herr Carovius loved to complain. He ran around the table, exclaiming that he was ruined.
These overthrown goods are a seignorial right of one or other of you lords of the bank." "True, Herr Ritter; but we deemed it unknightly to snatch at what travellers lost by misfortune." "Freiherr Eberhard, take my word for it, while thou thus holdest, all the arquebuses yet to be cut out of the Black Forest will not mar thy chivalry. Where didst get these ways of thinking?"
"No, my son," said Sir Eberhard; "your mother sees what is best for me. I only want to be left to her to rest a little while, and repent of my sinful life. As Heinz says, the rusty old iron must lie by while the new steel does the work. It is quiet that I need. It is joy enough for me to see what she has made you, and all around. Ah!
She wept apart, and resolved, and prayed, cruelly ashamed of every start of joy or pain that the sight of Eberhard cost her.
Herr Reiter, pardon me; but if this be the breaking of a cloister, I can have none of it." "No such thing," said Eberhard; "she is town-bred, that is all." "You would swear to it, on the holy mass yonder, both of you?" said the friar, still suspiciously. "Yea," replied Eberhard, "and so dost thou, Christina." This was the time if ever to struggle against her destiny.
The publisher consequently insisted that whoever was placed in charge should sign a contract to remain until the work had been finished, he in turn agreeing to pay the editor a salary of three thousand marks a year. Eberhard made careful inquiries as to the standing of the firm, and finding that it enjoyed a rating well above the average, he agreed to furnish the requisite capital.
Eberhard, Feder, and Meiners will be mentioned later among the opponents of the Kantian philosophy. Among the psychologists J.N. Tetens, whose Philosophical Essays on Human Nature, 1776-77, show a remarkable similarity to the views of Kant, takes the first rank. The two thinkers evidently influenced each other.
Eberhard obeyed his brother's injunctions, and the princes respected the will of their dying sovereign. The princes, with the exception of Burkhard and of Arnulf, assembled at Fritzlar, elected the absent Henry king, and despatched an embassy to inform him of their decision.
The first talk she had with him passed off without results of any kind. He evaded her courageous remarks, and failed to hear what he did not care to hear. He was stiff, polite, and annoyingly listless. Agatha, full of vexation, told her daughter of her disappointment. Sylvia said she would like to go with her mother the next time she visited Eberhard.
