Count Plettau, to be sure, was different; for though one never quite knew whether he was in jest or earnest, still one could have something like rational conversation with him. And Plettau took a real interest in the sturdy peasant lad, in whom he recognised an outlook on life so different from his own as to fill him with constant amazement.
Room IX. was still to remain "aristocratic" as Weise satirically remarked even after Baron Walther von Frielinghausen had moved over to the non-commissioned officers' quarters. A few days before the regiment left for the manœuvres, Count Egon Plettau arrived and took possession of Frielinghausen's locker. All kinds of wild reports had been circulating in the battery about Plettau.
Who knows what impertinence the fellow may not have scrawled?" Corporal von Frielinghausen was charged with the mission, and ascended the hillside. The exercises were begun meanwhile. Frielinghausen found the piece of cardboard neatly placed against a bank beside the last traces of Count Egon Plettau.
"This Count Plettau has read a certain amount. One must give the devil his due!" But Major Schrader, who in his leisure hours occupied himself with modern literature, who had seen "Die Weber" and "Seine Kleine" in Berlin, and was even acquainted with "Rosenmontag," murmured softly to himself; "A farewell to the regiment!"
Count Plettau was a mere hopeless idler and vagabond. Frielinghausen was at least inspired with a wish to pull himself together and become good for something.
The morning of August the 10th dawned bright and glorious; the day on which Plettau, after so many long years, came once more under the jurisdiction of civil law.
