hussarenritt

Updated: May 9, 2025

They have long finished the Uhlanenritt, and are now clashing out a brisk Hussarenritt, in which one plainly hears the hussars' thundering gallop, while the conductor madly waves his arms, as he has been doing unintermittingly for the last two hours. "You were quite wise," say I, laying my hand on the back of his chair; "you had much the best of it! they were a great imposture!"
