Nor have we to inquire how it would have presented itself to Erckmann-Chatrian, because the Alsatian collaborators made it their own in the somber pages of the 'Rantzau.
Queen Christina considered that she was justly entitled to the patronage of her subjects' works: and Marshal Rantzau, when writers were scarce in Denmark, brought out an anonymous work for the purpose of introducing a preface in which his fame as a book-collector was glorified.
Once, when Prince Eugene was wounded, our Duke took his Highness's place in the trenches; but the siege was with the Imperialists, not with us. A division under Webb and Rantzau was detached into Artois and Picardy upon the most painful and odious service that Mr. Esmond ever saw in the course of his military life.
The 'Cherry Duet' in 'L'Amico Fritz, and the Cicaleccio chorus in 'I Rantzau, are models of refinement and finish, which are doubly delightful by reason of their incongruous environment.
Unfortunately such gems as these only make the coarseness of their setting the more conspicuous, and on the whole the sooner the world forgets about 'L'Amico Fritz' and 'I Rantzau' the better it will be for Mascagni's reputation. 'Guglielmo Ratcliff' and 'Silvano, both produced in 1895, have not been heard out of Italy, nor is there much probability that they will ever cross the Alps.
"That country yields no wine," said the king "that will not do for Rantzau, or be good quarters for him." And they sent Colonel Gnssion, not so heavy a drinker as Rantzau, a good soldier and an inflexible character.
Thus, in a manner wholly unexpected by me, I should see scenery of a very peculiar character even in Denmark. The favor of my king and Queen made me happy, and I rejoiced to be once more in close intimacy with Rantzau. Alas, it was for the last time! It was just now five and twenty years since I, a poor lad, travelled alone and helpless to Copenhagen.
I know that the Parliament did very good service there." Meanwhile the insurrection was gaining ground, and the local authorities were powerless to repress it. There was hesitation at the king's council in choosing between Marshal Rantzau and M. de Gassion to command the forces ordered to march into Normandy.
His hopes were fixed on the Emperor Rudolph, who was not only fond of science, but who was especially addicted to alchemy and astrology, and his friend Rantzau promised to have him introduced to the Emperor by proper letters.
'L'Amico Fritz' and 'I Rantzau, two adaptations of novels by Erckmann-Chatrian, produced respectively in 1891 and 1892, have almost disappeared from the current repertory.
