This infatuation was illustrated at his coronation in ancient Konigsberg, first home of Prussian royalty, and better famous as birthplace and lifelong home of Immanuel Kant, when the King enacted a scene of melodrama which might be transferred from the church to the theatre. No other person was allowed to place the crown on his royal head.
I would do it myself, but when it is so cold as that, the lips are stiff, and I cannot speak German properly. They would find out that I am French, and it is no good being French now. My comrade told me that in Konigsberg, Murat himself was ill-received by the burgomaster and such city stuff as that." It was as Barlasch foretold.
Emden and Osnaburg and Gottingen in the west, Danzig and Königsberg and Memel in the east, are yet unprovided; but almost all the other towns of any note in Prussia and North Germany are now linked together, and most or all of the above six will be so in a few years.
My valet fell sick on the journey from Königsberg here, and we were obliged to leave him behind, which was so much the more inconvenient as he was our hairdresser besides, and understood how to arrange the Elector's hair as well as my own and the young ladies'. Count Schwarzenberg heard of it, and by a piece of good fortune, was able to spare us one of his valets."
Lehrs was the younger brother of a famous scholar at Konigsberg. He had left there to come to Paris some years before, with the object of gaining an independent position by his philological work. This he preferred, in spite of the attendant difficulties, to a post as teacher with a salary which only in Germany could be considered sufficient for a scholar's wants.
"As my brother desired it, I have appointed you lieutenant-general of the third army corps," said he, harshly. "You leave at once for Konigsberg you know your duties. Go, and endeavor to fulfil them." "Sire!" said the count, softly. "Go! not another word!" Count Kalkreuth, almost unable to make the military salute, left the room, stifling his anger. The king looked after him thoughtfully.
Knowing that we had a difficulty in procuring fuel, he brought with him some bottles of rum, to 'warm' us with punch during the cold evenings; under these circumstances I read Hoffmann's Tales to him and my wife. At last I had news from Konigsberg, but it only opened my eyes to the fact that the gay young dog had not meant his promise seriously.
Traugott however was very shy of telling of his singular adventure in Dantzic, until at last, after the lapse of several months, an old Königsberg friend, Matuszewski by name, who had come to Rome to devote himself entirely to art, declared joyfully that he had seen there in Rome, the girl whom Traugott copied in all his pictures. Traugott's wild delight may be imagined.
Others, again, told them that they were officers ordered to take up some new command in the retreating army. Beyond Konigsberg, however, D'Arragon and Barlasch found themselves alone on their eastward route. Every man's face was set towards the west. This was not an army at all, but an endless procession of tramps.
Rule Britannia was a further and deliberate step in the direction of mass effects; at the close a strong military band was to be added to the already over-full orchestra, and I intended to have the whole thing performed at the Musical Festival in Konigsberg in the summer. To these two overtures I added a supplement an overture entitled Napoleon.
