Robinson and Hyndford, imagination may faintly represent their feelings, on the wilful downbreak of Klein-Schnellendorf; or what clamor and urgency the Majesty of Britain and they have been making ever since. But they could carry it no further: "One stroke more!"
'They were, replied my friend; 'but what of that? 'It was the Earl of Hyndford himself, said I; 'there can be no doubt of it. And I gave him the history of my journey to Glasgow. 'Well, he took the best method, certainly, to test my qualifications, rejoined my friend. 'I wish all patrons would do the same; we should have better teachers in our schools, and better ministers in our churches.
My adventures with women would amply furnish a romance: but enough of this, I should not relate the present, were it not necessary to my story. Dining one public day with Lord Hyndford, I was seated beside a charming young lady of one of the best families in Russia, who had been promised in marriage, though only seventeen, to an old invalid minister.
The present ministry, consisting of the duke of Queensberry, the earls of Marchmont, Melvil, Seafield, Hyndford, and Selkirk, were devoted to revolution principles, and desirous that the parliament should continue, in pursuance of a late act for continuing the parliament that should be then in being, six months after the death of the king, and that it should assemble in twenty days after that event.
'Might I request a short Private Audience of your Majesty? solicits Hyndford, intending to modify by new assurances, as bidden. 'Surely, answers Friedrich. "The two Excellencies dine with the King, who is in high spirits. After dinner, Hyndford gets his Private Audience; does his best in the way of 'new assurances; which produce what effect we can fancy.
The Queen, on consenting to these new offers, had 'wrung her hands, like one in despair, and said passionately, 'Unless accepted within a fortnight, I will not be bound by them! 'Admit his Excellency to the honor of an interview, solicits Hyndford; 'his offers are much mended. Notable to witness, Friedrich will not see Robinson at all this time, nor even permit Podewils to see him; signifies plainly that he wants to hear no more of his offers, and that, in fact, the sooner he can take himself away from Breslau, it will be the better.
Apraxin wept, and clasped me in his arms, prophesying at the same time, I should never be so happy as in Russia. I myself foreboded misfortune, and quitted Russia with regret, but still followed the advice of Hyndford and Bernes.
"You are threatened, dear friend, by a very imminent danger. Do not sleep to-night at home, but secure yourself at Lord Hyndford's till you hear farther from me." He found me, after dinner, at the English ambassador's, and called me aside. I read the billet, was astonished at its contents, and showed it Lord Hyndford.
KING. "'I should not value the money; if money would content her Majesty, I would give more.... Here was a long pause, which I did not break;" nor would the King. HYNDFORD. "'Would your Majesty consent to an Armistice? By that time they could do nothing," the season out by that time.
Now, however, is Robinson's time to ply them. By unheard-of entreaties and conjurations, aided by these strokes of fate, Robinson has at length extorted from his Queen of Hungary, and her wise Hofraths, something resembling a phantasm of compliance; with which he hurries to Breslau and Hyndford; hoping against hope that Friedrich will accept it as a reality.
