At that moment he was far from happy, and even the tedious evenings at Mittwalden Palace began to smile upon him by comparison. 'O, six-and-thirty! he protested. 'A man is not yet old at six- and-thirty. I am that age myself. 'I should have taken you for more, sir, piped the old farmer.
Up and down, the road keeps right on from here to Mittwalden; and nothing all the way but the good green pine-trees, big and little, and water-power! water-power at every step, sir. We once sold a bit of forest, up there beside the high-road; and the sight of minted money that we got for it has set me ciphering ever since what all the pines in Grünewald would amount to."
It was clear his bottle was no longer full. "Do you ride towards Mittwalden?" asked the Prince. "As far as the cross-road to Tannenbrunn," the man replied. "Will you bear company?" "With pleasure. I have even waited for you on the chance," answered Otto.

Certainly at least the scheme is entertained in the court of Mittwalden; nor do I myself regard it as entirely desperate. The margravate of Brandenburg has grown from as small beginnings to a formidable power; and though it is late in the day to try adventurous policies, and the age of war seems ended, Fortune, we must not forget, still blindly turns her wheel for men and nations.
There was one town, Mittwalden, and many brown, wooden hamlets, climbing roof above roof, along the steep bottom of dells, and communicating by covered bridges over the larger of the torrents.
She looked towards Mittwalden; and above the hill-top, which already hid it from her view, a throbbing redness hinted of fire. Better so: better so, that she should fall with tragic greatness, lit by a blazing palace! She felt not a trace of pity for Gondremark or of concern for Grunewald: that period of her life was closed for ever, a wrench of wounded vanity alone surviving.
It was a patch of hilly country covered with thick wood. Many streams took their beginning in the glens of Grunewald, turning mills for the inhabitants.
