So they spake in the spring woods; and meanwhile, in Mittwalden Rath-haus, the Republic was declared. THE reader well informed in modern history will not require details as to the fate of the Republic. Herr Roederer, with too much of an author's licence, makes a great figure of his hero poses him, indeed, to be the centre-piece and cloud-compeller of the whole.
I give you the news, and bid you to Mittwalden. My throne has fallen great was the fall of it! and your good friends of the Phoenix bear the rule. The red-faced miller looked supreme astonishment. 'And your Highness? he gasped. 'My Highness is running away, replied Otto, 'straight for the frontier. 'Leaving Grunewald? cried the man. 'Your father's son? It's not to be permitted!
'My chaise is close at hand; and I shall have, I trust, the singular entertainment of abducting a sovereign Princess. 'Sir John! she said, at last. 'At your Highness's disposal, he replied. She sprang to her feet. 'O! she cried, 'have you come from Mittwalden? 'This morning, he returned, 'I left it; and if there is any one less likely to return to it than yourself, behold him!
I've heard them say it in a speech. I was at a meeting once at Brandenau, and the Mittwalden delegates spoke up for fifteen thousand.

The star-lit dark, the faint wood airs, the clank of the horse-shoes making broken music, accorded together and attuned his mind, and he was still in a most equal temper when the party reached the top of that long hill that overlooks Mittwalden.
Certainly at least the scheme is entertained in the court of Mittwalden; nor do I myself regard it as entirely desperate.

Kindly the host of heaven blinked down upon that wandering Princess; and the honest brook had no words but to encourage her. At last she began to be aware of a wonderful revolution, compared to which the fire of Mittwalden Palace was but the crack and flash of a percussion-cap.
'Precisely: and I should have slept to-night, had I not wandered, in Mittwalden, answered the Prince, weaving in a patch of truth, according to the habit of all liars.
