But General Bernadotte persisted in his refusal and replied peremptorily, 'No, the banner remains!" "Proceed, proceed!" exclaimed Thugut, impatiently. "That is all I know, but I shall hasten to collect further news, and then return to your excellency." Hubschle disappeared through the secret door, and Thugut replaced the painting before it. "The banner remains!" he exclaimed, laughing scornfully.
Thugut cast a glance of gloomy indignation on the versatile little man with the bloated face. "You have been drinking again, Hubschle," he said; "and I have ordered you to remain sober to-day!" "Your excellency, I am quite sober," protested Hubschle. "I assure you I have not drunk any more than what was required by my thirst."
So elated were they by the success of the day, and so regardless of lesser perils after those they had passed through, that they were now inclined to hurry forward incautiously. Jacob, prudent when others were rash, as he was bold when others were intimidated, constantly called them to order with his: "Hubschle! nur immer hubschle!"
Shall I open it, your excellency?" "One moment! I first want to turn back the painting. So! Now open the door, Hubschle!" The private secretary hastened with tottering steps to the door and unlocked it. Thugut's second private secretary entered. He held a sealed letter in his band. "Well, Heinle, what's the matter?" asked Thugut, quietly.
Now go back to your post and guard the door well in order that no one may penetrate into my room. And you, Hubschle, hasten back to the Kohlmarkt and see what is going on there, and what is occurring at the French embassy. But do not drink any more liquor! As soon as this affair is over, I shall give you three days' leave of absence, when you may drink as much as you please.
His confidential secretary, Hubschle, immediately rushed in with a glowing face and in breathless haste. "Your excellency," he gasped "your excellency, the fun has just commenced! They are now pursuing the deer like a pack of infuriated blood-hounds. Oh, oh! they will chase him thoroughly, I should think!"
He reels like a drunken man! He has probably drunk too much brandy for the purpose of stimulating his courage." "Pardon me, your excellency," said Hubschle, "the man has fainted."
