'All of this must cease. And he began to walk to and fro with his hands behind his back. 'Well, Otto, may God guide you! said Gotthold, after a considerable silence. 'I cannot. 'From what does all this spring? said the Prince, stopping in his walk. 'What am I to call it? Diffidence? The fear of ridicule? Inverted vanity? What matter names, if it has brought me to this?
"Rightly looked upon," mused Gotthold, "it is ourselves that we cannot forgive, when we refuse forgiveness to our friend. Some strand of our own misdoing is involved in every quarrel." "Are there not offences that disgrace the pardoner?" asked Otto. "Are there not bounds of self-respect?" "Otto," said Gotthold, "does any man respect himself?
"In short," he asked, "not manly?" "Well," Gotthold hesitated, "not manly, if you will." And then, with a laugh, "I did not know that you gave yourself out to be manly," he added. "It was one of the points that I inclined to like about you; inclined, I believe, to admire.

'Your Highness, I am unaware, answered Greisengesang, true to his policy. 'The disposition of the guards is a matter distinct from my functions. Otto turned upon the old man fiercely, but ere he had time to speak, Gotthold touched him on the arm. He swallowed his wrath with a great effort. 'It is well, he said, taking the roll. 'Follow me to the Flag Tower.
A sound creed and a bad morality, that's the root of wisdom. You two gentlemen are too good to be forgiving." "The paradox is somewhat forced," said Gotthold.
