Falkenried had leaned back in the chair, his arm resting on the window sill, and listened to the whole long story without movement of form or feature, without a question, without a comment; he hardly seemed to hear, he was indeed made of stone.

I shall be able to remain a day only, but I'll surely come for that time. Good-bye." The secretary left the house, and Falkenried returned once more to the window, but he only gave a fleeting glance after his friend, who waved him a parting greeting, then returned gloomily to his own thoughts. "The son of his mother."
When the general appeared they surrounded and questioned him at once concerning the brave stranger. Falkenried had his usual earnest look, but the settled gloom of his face was gone forever, and in its stead was an expression which those around him had never seen before.

Despite the haste there was no disorder; the troops turned to march back to the city as they marched from it. Falkenried still stood in the same place issuing orders, receiving communications, while with glance and word he watched and guided all.
"I have the honor of being known to you, I believe, Herr Major," he began. "As your wife's attorney at the time the suit for divorce was in progress, I had the opportunity of making your acquaintance." He paused as if expecting an answer; but Major Falkenried gave no sign beyond an affirmative nod. Wallmoden was all attention. He could understand now his friend's irritation on his arrival.
