"'Tis a long road to Falkenlust, dear little Fraeulein," said he; "and His Excellency, methinks, would be better pleased".... I stayed to hear no more, but ran off at full speed down the terraces, straight to the Round Point and the fountain, and along the great avenue that led to Falkenlust.
I ran till I was out of breath then rested then ran again, on, and on, and on, till the road lengthened and narrowed behind me, and the Chateau of Augustenburg looked almost as small in the distance at one end as the Falkenlust Lodge at the other. Then all at once, far, far away, I saw a moving group of figures. They grew larger and more distinct they were coming towards me!
Beyond this terrace came vast flats of rich green sward laid out in formal walks, flower-beds and fountains; and beyond these again stretched some two or three miles of finely wooded park, pierced by long avenues that radiated from a common centre and framed in exquisite little far-off views of Falkenlust and the blue hills of the Vorgebirge.
I interrupted. "At breakfast! Eh, then, our gallant King hath a soldier's habits. His Majesty breakfasted at six this morning, and is gone out betimes to visit his hunting-lodge at Falkenlust." "And my father?" "His Excellency the Governor is in attendance upon the King." "Then I will go to Falkenlust." Corporal Fritz shook his head; shrugged his shoulders; took a pinch of snuff.
