Friedrich, as Caesar and others have done, cheerfully interprets the omen to his own advantage: "Sign that the High is to be brought low!" says Friedrich.

At all events, the man means to try; and is here dining at Crossen, noon of Wednesday, the 14th; certain important persons, especially two Silesian Gentlemen, deputed from Grunberg, the nearest Silesian Town, who have come across the border on business, having the honor to dine with him.
