To gain support for the tottering throne the Chancellor would unite the two countries, that Karl's army, since he could not trust his own, might be called on for help. And here he touched the Countess's raw nerves with a brutal finger. "The price of the alliance, madame, is the Princess Hedwig in marriage.
The old Ambassador snatched it from him eagerly. "This device the falcon poised upon a silver helmet! You have much to explain, Monsieur." "It is the coat-of-arms of the house of Schomburg. The case belonged to Frederick Augustus, Karl's son; and this sword was his; and these orders and that cloak lying yonder all were his. They were gifts from his father.
That is the fate of little Karl, who frolics about here, so sunshiny and ingenuous at present. Karl's Grandmother, the Serene Dowager Duchess, Friedrich's own Mother-in-law, his Majesty and Friedrich would also of course see here. Fine Younger Sons of hers are coming forward; the reigning Duke beautifully careful about the furtherance of these Cadets of the House.
All we know on the matter is derived from the letter, which has been preserved inside the second volume of Karl's diary. There seems no doubt that she was caught red-handed, but to say more would be to anticipate her own words.
To a degree truly wonderful. "Seckendorf will sit on Karl's skirts," they said: "too late for US, this season; next season, you shall see!" Such was their theory, after Louis got that cathartic, and rose from bed. Schmettau, with his importunities, which at last irritated everybody, could make nothing more of it.
Before quoting the next entry in Karl's journal it is necessary to explain the situation which confronted him when he arrived in Zeebrugge. In his absence, his beloved Zoe had been arrested as an Allied Agent, and she was tried for espionage within a day or two of his arrival.
While there, he begged his brother Johann to make a will in Karl's favor, which eventually came to pass. The army appointment, of which mention has been made, became an established fact early in December, and the young man soon after left Vienna to join his regiment. Beethoven never saw him again.
Their officers stormed at them, and called for Count Karl and for Weisspriess. The latter replied like a man stifling, but Count Karl's voice was silent. "Weisspriess! here, to me!" the captain sang out in Italian. "Ammiani! here, to me!" was replied. Vittoria struck her hands together in electrical gladness at her lover's voice and name. It rang most cheerfully.
There are Saxons already gathering about Zittau; and down as far as Guben they are making Magazines and arrangements, for it is all their own Country in those years, though most of it is Prussia's now. Prince Karl's march will go parallel to the Bober and the Queiss; separated from the Queiss in this part by an undulating Hill-tract of twenty miles or more.
"Of Liszt's?" "Yes; the one that leaves you wondering." At first she had resented bitterly her not being able to play more satisfyingly. If only music were her work! It seemed an almost malicious touch that fate, in taking away Karl's own work, had also shut him out from hers. Resentment at that had made it hard for her to play for him at all, at first.
