A few days after that First Audience, Ginkel the Dutch Excellency, with the due Papers in his pocket, did arrive. And from England, in about a fortnight, gets for answer, "Do harm, think you? Hm, ha! Present it, all the same; and modify by assurances afterwards," as if these would much avail! This is not the only instance in which St.
There was one that finally aroused Ginkel to comment: "This would have been a good one, but it got light struck," he said. "It was taken in Bagdad." When we had exhausted the album Ginkel felt more at ease. He offered me some tobacco from his pouch. I resumed the original line of questioning.
By its terms it was agreed that such Irish officers and soldiers as desired to go to France should be conveyed there, and in the meantime should remain under the command of their own officers. Ginkel made strenuous efforts to enlist the Irish troops in his master's service. Few, however, agreed to accept his offer.
Friedrich Wilhelm, after quitting the Electoral Yacht, did his reviewing at Wesel, at Bielefeld, all his reviewing in those Rhine and Weser Countries; then turned aside to pay a promised visit to Ginkel the Berlin Dutch Ambassador, who has a fine House in those parts; and there his Majesty has fallen seriously ill.
"Oh, yes," said Ginkel, "I've been all over. I've been around the world." We lighted pipes and Ginkel removed a book from a drawer in the dresser. He opened it and I saw it was a book of photographs mostly pictures taken with a small camera. "Here are some things you could use," he said. "You wanna look at them."

"This one here," said Ginkel, "is me in Vladivostok. It was taken on the corner there." The photograph showed Ginkel dressed just as he was in the hotel room, standing near a lamp post on a street corner. There was visible a part of a store window. "This one is interesting," said Ginkel, warming up. "It was taken in the archipelago. You know where. I forget the name of the town.
In the next year's campaign occurred the crowning disasters of the war, but in any other country or with any other people than the English the terms of capitulation at Limerick, which were formulated by Ginkel and showed a soldier's respect for a brave and still powerful foe, would have ushered in an era of peace.
"Not quite so good, most of them," Ginkel answered. "They were taken when I hadn't had much experience." "You must have been in Russia while the revolution was going on, weren't you?" "Oh, yes. I got one there." He opened the book again. "Here," he said. "This was in Moscow. I was in Moscow when this was taken."
Ginkel, who was in command of William's army, dreaded the approach of autumn, and had instructions from his master to finish the campaign as rapidly as possible, and with this end in view to offer good and honourable terms to the Irish.
