The king walked up and down the room, and cast, from time to time, a piercing glance at Fredersdorf.

I have cast my Polycrates' ring into the sea, and a part of my heart's blood was cleaving to it.
For this reason Pollnitz stood nearest the door; for this reason he so proudly regarded the courtiers who were breathlessly awaiting the opening of that door.
