In the meantime, I will write you a prescription, provided you promise to comply with my directions. 'Do not doubt me, my dear Doctor. Schulembourg seated himself at the table, and wrote a few lines, which he handed to his patient. Walstein smiled as he read the prescription. 'Dr. de Schulembourg requests the honour of the Baron de Walstein's company at dinner, to-morrow at two o'clock.
When Dr. de Schulembourg arrived at the house of Walstein, he was admitted into a circular hall containing the busts of the Caesars, and ascending a double staircase of noble proportion, was ushered into a magnificent gallery. Copies in marble of the most celebrated ancient statues were ranged on each side of this gallery.
He welcomed Walstein with warmth. Mr. Revel led Madame to the dining-room. The table was round, and Walstein seated himself at her side.

I was serious myself at times before I married, but you see I have got over my gloom. 'You have, indeed, said Walstein; 'and perhaps, were I Doctor de Schulembourg, I might be as gay. 'Another compliment! However, I accept it, because it is founded on truth. The fact is, I think you are too much alone. 'I have lived in a desert, and now I live in what is called the world, replied Walstein.
Warsaw fell at once; but when Charles turned on the Saxon army, only the wonderful skill of Schulembourg saved it from destruction. Augustus withdrew to Saxony, and began repairing the fortifications of Dresden. By this time, wherever the Swedes appeared, they were confident of victory if they were but twenty to a hundred.
