In obedience to the command of the secretary, he, with ten other members of this unholy alliance, had been searching in every quarter for this sacrifice. Joseph Fredersdorf, indebted to fortune or his own adroitness, was the first to return from his wanderings, and he brought with him a black ram, on whose glossy coat the sharpest eye could not detect one white hair.
The pursuit of art does not accord with these things; if you choose the one, you must, for a while at least, be separated from the other." "That will we do," cried Fredersdorf, who had just entered the room; "I, for my part, have already set you all a good example.
"May I read it, your majesty?" said Boden. The king nodded, Boden took the paper and glanced hastily over it, while the king folded his arms behind him and walked backwards and forwards. "I find the king wondrously wearisome and patient," murmured Fredersdorf; "it is not his manner generally to withhold so long his crushing glances."
Six or seven heads go wagging on this point, who by accident are namable, if readers care: "Prince August Wilhelm," lately betrothed; "Graf Truchsess," home from Hanover; "Colonel Graf von Finkenstein," old Tutor's Son, a familiar from boyhood upwards; "Baron Pollnitz" kind of chief Goldstick now, or Master of the Ceremonies, not too witty, but the cause of wit; "Jordan, Bielfeld," known to us; and lastly, "Fredersdorf," Major-domo and Factotum, who is grown from Valet to be Purse-Keeper, confidential Manager, and almost friend, a notable personage in Friedrich's History.
I declare to you, Fredersdorf, I think a dinner plate fulfils a noble mission; within its narrow bound lie the bone and sinew, as also the best enjoyments of life. But tell me, for God's sake, how can you bear that these rascals should handle the king's silver so roughly?
With trembling lips and silent tears he said to himself: "I will live; I will be young; I will turn to Eckhof; he shall counsel me, and I will follow his advice as I would a holy gospel. Did you not say that you knew Cato?" said he, suddenly awaking from his dream and turning to his companion. "Cato?" said Fredersdorf.
The twelve heyducks, bending under their heavy burden, entered the skiff, and piled up the silver-ware, then sprang again ashore. "We are going to the treasure-room, will you follow us?" said Fredersdorf. "Certainly; if not, you may perhaps expect to leave me here as sentinel." "That is not at all necessary; there are some soldiers with loaded muskets in the skiff. Come."
When he reached the door of Eckhof's lodging, he hesitated. A profound pallor succeeded a burning glow upon his countenance, and he murmured to himself: "No, no; I have not the strength to see him to-day. I should die if his eyes rested upon me. I will go to Fredersdorf." Joseph Fredersdorf was at home, and received Lupinus with astonished delight.
Heliogabalus had not murdered his senators; he had suffocated them with sweets, that was all. Well, what do you think of my story?" said Fredersdorf. "It is full of interest, and Heliogabalus must have been poetical; but I do not see the connection between the emperor and ourselves." "You do not?" said his friend impatiently; "well, let us follow his example.
His clear, piercing glance instantly remarked the cloud which lowered upon the brow of Fredersdorf. "But what will you have? The King and Fate, as Deus ex machina, appear without warning and confuse the calculations of insignificant mortals." "I have made no calculations, sire," said Fredersdorf, confused; "and the presence of my king can never disturb my peace."
