Farewell, and may that now happen which you would not prevent when you could! You punish yourself. Farewell!" Itzig held him convulsively back, and cried, in a voice drowned by rage, "You will pay my draft?" "I will not," said Gotzkowsky. "You have judged; take now your reward." He threw Itzig's hands from him, and hastened from the spot.
"I herewith ask for my discharge, sire!" "You have it go!" Without saying a word, General von Saldern made a military obeisance, and left the room. "You go too!" said the king to Gotzkowsky, who had been a silent, involuntary spectator of this scene "go and tell my adjutant to send Quintus Icilius to me." In a few minutes Major Quintus Icilius entered.
She placed her hand as coolly and as friendly in his, and although she inquired cordially and sympathizingly after his welfare, Bertram still felt that her heart and her inmost soul had not part in her questioning. Elise had not altered but how little was Gotzkowsky like himself!
Gotzkowsky could not understand the heart of the young maiden, nor Elise that of the noble patriot. To these two strong and independent natures there had been wanting the gentle, soothing influence of a mother's love, acting conciliatingly on both. Elise's mother had died while she was young, and the child was left to the care of strangers.
Without taking any further notice of the two editors, Gotzkowsky left the summer-house rapidly and approached the listening multitude. The inspired prophet stood on a bench, and, as he unrolled his pictures, he endeavored to explain these mystical paintings to his devout gazers and listeners in equally mystical language.
This was Ephraim, who, mindful of his conversation with Gotzkowsky, said to himself, triumphantly, "He has taken one lesson from me he has learned to despise mankind." But Itzig was only the more furious. "You wish our ruin," said he, angrily. "You will be ungrateful. The Jews, who made you a present of a handsome ring, have not deserved that of you. What will the world say?"
"I will let these gentlemen of Leipsic know that it is to your intercession and your guaranty that they are indebted for the mitigation of their contributions; and then you can, if it gives you pleasure, bargain with the rich town for some reward for your services rendered." "That would give me no pleasure, sire!" cried Gotzkowsky, with noble indignation.
"I only, like a fugitive or a Don Quixote, am driven about," said the king to himself, "and cannot even enter my own house, and they call that royal happiness!" Turning to Gotzkowsky, he remarked aloud: "Have you seen the gallery since the enemy took up his quarters in it?" "Yes, sire! Prince Esterhazy was this noble enemy. He protected Sans-Souci like something sacred.
You wish to declare yourselves insolvent and cheat your creditors of their money, and thereby amass wealth." A general storm of indignation interrupted Gotzkowsky, and the very men who had come for the purpose of making a formal demonstration of their gratitude now approached him with angry gestures and threatening words. "A million and a half is no child's play," screamed Ephraim.
The king looked around with surprise he had quite forgotten Gotzkowsky. "Ah! are you still there? and you prophesy me victory? Well, that will be as good to me as the Leipsic money. Go back home, and tell the Leipsigers to hurry with the money. And hark ye! when you get to Potsdam, greet the Correggio, and tell him I yearn for him as a lover does for his mistress Adieu!"
