Killian Gottesheim had presented him to his daughter Ottilia, Otto followed to the stable as became, not perhaps the Prince, but the good horseman.
Gottesheim, with unction. 'And by what name, sir, am I to address my generous landlord? The double recollection of an English traveller, whom he had received the week before at court, and of an old English rogue called Transome, whom he had known in youth, came pertinently to the Prince's help. 'Transome, he answered, 'is my name. I am an English traveller. It is, to-day, Tuesday.
If all he heard were true, Grunewald was growing very hot for a sovereign Prince; it might be well to have a refuge; and if so, what more delightful hermitage could man imagine? Mr. Gottesheim, besides, had touched his sympathies. Every man loves in his soul to play the part of the stage deity.
I have a right to common justice, if I DO keep company! 'If you will ask Mr. Gottesheim, replied Otto, 'you will find I have not spent my hours in idleness. I have, since I arose this morning, agreed to buy the farm. So far I will go to satisfy a curiosity which I condemn. 'O, well, if there was business, that's another matter, returned Fritz. 'Though it beats me why you could not tell.
Presently, when they emerged upon the top of the bank, they beheld Fritz and Ottilia some way off; he, very black and bloodshot, emphasising his hoarse speech with the smacking of his fist against his palm; she, standing a little way off in blowsy, voluble distress. 'Dear me! said Mr. Gottesheim, and made as if he would turn aside.

Gottesheim, who had been looking on with his hands behind his tall old back, 'ay, that's Scripture truth. Fritz was staggered, not only by the Prince's imperturbable superiority of manner, but by a glimmering consciousness that he himself was in the wrong. The appeal to liberal doctrines had, besides, unmanned him. 'Well, said he, 'if I was rude, I'll own to it.
"O, then Kuno carried him home; and they were the best of friends from that day forth. I don't say it's a discreditable story, you observe," continued Mr. Gottesheim; "but it's droll, and that's the fact. A man should think before he strikes; for, as my nephew says, man to man was the old valuation." "Now, if you were to ask me," said Otto, "I should perhaps surprise you.
