A breathless silence reigned throughout the vast crowd; every eye was fixed upon the stage; and now, with a stately step and a Roman toga falling in artistic folds from his shoulders, Eckhof as Cato stood before them.
"Are you aware that the theatre has been closed, and our representations forbidden until the decision of the General Assembly, with regard to the late disturbance in the theatre, shall be known?" "The General Assembly will order the theatre to be opened, and our representations to recommence." Eckhof heard this with a cutting, derisive laugh.
You are like two lovers; Lupinus acts the part of the coy maiden to the life. I do not believe, Eckhof, that you will ever have a wife who will love you more entirely, more tenderly, than our young doctor does." Lupinus, now folded in the arms of Eckhof, trembled and grew pale at these words from Joseph. "Love me, love me, my dear young friend," said Eckhof, softly.
Then again all was still; every eye and every ear were open to the great actor, true to himself and true to nature; who, glowing with enthusiasm, had cast his whole soul into his part; who had forgotten the line separating imagination from reality; who had, indeed, ceased to be Eckhof, and felt and thought and spoke as Cato.
Because Your Highness hasn't any money. Dreadful creature! He knows our situation only too well. We must give up all thought of sending an answer. May I go now? Impertinent creature! What is your name? Eckhof. Where were you born? ECKHOF. Hamburg. What have you learned? ECKHOF. Nothing. Nothing? That is little enough. What did you want to make of yourself? Everything. A strange man!
Four days after the unfortunate occurrences in the theatre, Fredersdorf and his friend Lupinus returned from their secret journey, the object of which was unknown even to Eckhof. No sooner had they alighted from their travelling carriage, than they proceeded arm-in-arm to Eckhof's lodging.
"Well, it seems to me that this faith does not forbid you to enter the theatre. If it pleases you to study God's master-work, I promise to show you this night on the stage the noblest exemplar. Eckhof plays this evening." "Who, then, is Eckhof?" Joseph looked at the young man with surprise, and shrugged his shoulders contemptuously.
It will, at least, suffice to support you all for one month." "Will you accept this?" said Joseph, with glowing cheeks. "No, we will not accept it; what we do we will do freely, and no man shall fetter us by his generosity or magnanimity, not even Eckhof." Eckhof was radiant with joy. "Hear, now I have another proposition to make.
He must thank you himself for this kind warning. Come to Eckhof." "No!" said Lupinus, "it is a matter of no importance to Eckhof, who has given the information. There is much to be done to-day. I will seek to gain over the students; you must hasten to Eckhof." "And will you not accompany me?" "No, my friend, not to-day. Let us await the events of this evening.
Forced him to violate his duty in this devilish manner? I'll have to invent a punishment for him such as the Prussian army has never yet seen. Have mercy, Your Majesty have mercy! I'll talk to you later. As for you, Conrad Eckhof, I know that is your name I will tell you what your punishment shall be. You are discharged from the army that serves under my glorious flag, discharged in disgrace.
