Her arms were crossed over her breast, her head was bent in thought, and she went slowly back and forth from one end of her study to the other. Kaunitz followed her with his large, tranquil eyes, which seemed to penetrate to the remotest regions of her throbbing heart. Suddenly she stood before him, and for a moment gazed earnestly in his face.
Information as to Frederick's 'tampering' with Jacobitism came to the English Government not only through Pickle, but through Count Kaunitz, the Austrian minister. On December 30, 1753, Mr. Keith wrote to the Duke of Newcastle from the Imperial Court.
A consummate Kaunitz; who has provided remedies. Treaties do get broken. Besides, I will not go to War, unless HE the Bad One of Prussia do!" Alas, your noble Majesty, plain it at least is, your love of Silesia is very strong. And consummate Kaunitz and it have led you into strange predicaments.
I beg of your majesty, to-day and forever, to dismiss me from your service!" The empress did not make any reply. She had risen, and was walking hastily up and down, murmuring low, inarticulate words and heaving deep, convulsive sighs. Kaunitz followed her with the eye of a cool physician, who watches the crisis of a brain-fever.
The young countess raised her soft blue eyes to the face of the haughty prince. "I will tell the truth," said she, again blushing. "I was crying because La Foliazzi was so long with you to-day." "Jealous, too!" said Kaunitz, with a sneer. "And pray, who ever gave you the right of being jealous of me?" The countess said nothing, but her eyes filled with tears.
Priests were forbidden to be present at the making of wills, and the Inquisition was suppressed. Through most convincing efforts on the part of Kaunitz, the Jesuits had been finally expelled from the country. Agriculture, trade, and commerce were encouraged, though by the advice of England the navy was given up.
Meantime Kaunitz was ambassador at Paris, and had been bending all his efforts to secure a French alliance, which seemed to him of so much importance that he even induced his royal mistress to write to the Pompadour with a view to securing the influence of Louis XV. in the impending war.
First signal we say, by no means that it was the first cause, or indeed that it was a cause at all, the thing being determined elsewhere long before; ever since 1753, when Kaunitz left it ready, waiting only its time. And returned to his private banking operations, which were more extensive than ever, from the new troubles rising. The ulterior facts are as follows, abbreviated to the utmost.
It is this Jakelsberg, capable of being snatched if one is sudden enough, that Prince Karl decides on: it may be good for much or for little to Prince Karl; and, if even for nothing, it will be a brilliant affront upon Winterfeld and Bevern, and more or less charming to Kaunitz. "We must try to stay here till the King has finished in Saxony!" says Winterfeld always.
"If I ever did force your majesty to love me," replied Kaunitz, with animation, "I should count it the happiest day of my life. If I ever succeed in winning your confidence, then I may hope to complete the work I have begun that of uniting your majesty's dominions into one great whole, before which all Europe shall bow in reverence." "Let us speak of other things," interrupted the emperor.
