But I can tell you, sir, that you do Madame von Rosen prodigal injustice." "You can tell me!" said the Doctor shrewdly. "Have you tried? have you been riding the marches?" The blood came into Otto's face. "Ah!" cried Gotthold, "look at your wife and blush! There's a wife for a man to marry and then lose! She's a carnation, Otto. The soul is in her eyes."
"You see you are ashamed," retorted Gotthold. "And so you bought a farm in the hour of your country's need doubtless to be ready for the abdication; and I put it that you stole the funds. There are not three ways of getting money: there are but two: to earn and steal. And now, when you have combined Charles the Fifth and Long-fingered Tom, you come to me to fortify your vanity!
"Modesty is always admirable," chuckled the theorist. "But yet I assure you, a man like you, with such a man as, say, Dr. Gotthold at your elbow, would be, for all practical issues, my ideal ruler." At this rate the hours sped pleasantly for Otto. But the licentiate unfortunately slept that night at Beckstein, where he was, being dainty in the saddle and given to half stages.
