Scandal was at the door, with what a fatal following she dreaded to conceive; and at the same time among the voices that now began to summon her by name, she recognised the Chancellor's. He or another, somebody must be the first. "Is Herr von Greisengesang without?" she called. "Your Highness yes!" the old gentleman answered. "We have heard cries, a fall. Is anything amiss?"
Rumour, with her loud whisper, hissed about the town; men left their homes without knowing why; knots formed along the boulevard; under the rare lamps and the great limes the crowd grew blacker. And now through the midst of that expectant company, the unusual sight of a closed litter was observed approaching, and trotting hard behind it that great dignitary Cancellarius Greisengesang.
'The Prince will not attend the council, replied Seraphina, with a momentary blush. 'The despatches, Herr Cancellarius? There is one for Gerolstein? A secretary brought a paper. 'Here, madam, said Greisengesang. 'Shall I read it? 'We are all familiar with its terms, replied Gondremark. 'Your Highness approves? 'Unhesitatingly, said Seraphina.
"Bear it in mind more constantly," said Otto. "Herr Cancellarius, bring all the papers to my cabinet. Gentlemen, the council is dissolved." And he bowed and left the apartment, followed by Greisengesang and the secretaries, just at the moment when the Princess's ladies, summoned in all haste, entered by another door to help her forth.
Greisengesang clumsily revolved among the wings of the curtain, so that she was clear of it as soon as he. 'My God! he cried 'The Baron! 'I have killed him, she said. 'O, killed him! 'Dear me, said the old gentleman, 'this is most unprecedented. Lovers' quarrels, he added ruefully, 'redintegratio and then paused.
The grasp of the falling Baron had torn down the dainty fabric of the bodice; and 'O Highness! cried Greisengesang, appalled, 'the terrible disorder of your toilette! 'Take up that flounce, she said; 'the man may die. Greisengesang turned in a flutter to the Baron, and attempted some innocent and bungling measures. 'He still breathes, he kept saying.
But to touch upon these trifles; instance me a few." "The routine of government, from which your Highness has so wisely dissociated his leisure ..." began Greisengesang. "We will leave my leisure, sir," said Otto. "Approach the facts." "The routine of business was proceeded with," replied the official, now visibly twittering.
'I desire that, between you and me, all should be done gently; for I have not forgotten, my old friend, that you were kind to me from the first, and for a period of years a faithful servant. I will thus dismiss the matters on which you waive immediate inquiry. But you have certain papers actually in your hand. Come, Herr Greisengesang, there is at least one point for which you have authority.
A filthy imagination, an ear greedy of evil, a ponderous malignity of thought and language: I grow like him by the reading! Chancellor, where is this fellow lodged? 'He was committed to the Flag Tower, replied Greisengesang, 'in the Gamiani apartment. 'Lead me to him, said the Prince; and then, a thought striking him, 'Was it for that, he asked, 'that I found so many sentries in the garden?
"Is this so, Herr Cancellarius?" demanded Otto sternly. "It was judged right, your Highness," protested Greisengesang. "The decree was in due form, invested with your Highness's authority by procuration. I am but an agent; I had no status to prevent the measure." "This man, my guest, has been arrested," said the Prince. "On what grounds, sir? With what colour of pretence?"
