I can assure you, I was not more than three paces from that blessed ladder, on which I was to mount to Abraham's bosom so near, so very near, that I was sold, skin and all, to the dissecting-room! The fee-simple of my life was not worth a pinch of snuff. To the captain I am indebted for breath, and liberty, and life. SCHWEITZER. It was a trick worth the telling.
I know for certain that the Emperor intends to establish a German opera in Vienna, and is eagerly looking out for a young Capellmeister who understands the German language, and has genius, and is capable of bringing something new into the world. Benda at Gotha has applied, but Schweitzer is determined to succeed. I think it would be just the thing for me, but well paid of course.
He conceives of the Poles speaking Polar; of the Hollanders talking Hollandaise; of the Swiss as employing Schweitzer for ordinary conversations and yodeling when addressing friends at a distance; and so on. Such, however, is rarely the case. Nearly every person with whom one comes in contact in Europe appears to have fluent command of several tongues besides his or her own.
You've plenty of powder, I hope? Powder? ay, enough to blow the earth up to the moon. RAZ. Every one of us has five brace of pistols, ready loaded, and three carbines to boot. CHARLES. Good! good! Now some of you must climb up the trees, or conceal yourselves in the thickets, and some fire upon them in ambush SCHWEITZER. That part will suit you, Spiegelberg.
There is something here for the incendiaries! I must see her. Up! collect your baggage you'll stay with us, Kosinsky! Quick, pack up! THE ROBBERS. Where to? What? CHARLES. Where to? Who asks that question? But by the hope for heaven! SCHWEITZER. I, a traitor? Lead on to hell and I will follow you! Dear brother! thou shalt follow me. She weeps, she mourns away her life.
But one question more, dearest. I shall give an entertainment to-morrow. Count Andreossy, Colonels Mariage and Schweitzer, Captain de Guesniard, and the two Counts von Poldring will be present, as well as Generals Berthier and Massena, and several men who are prominent in aristocratic Austrian society. Will you not attend my reception? Will you not come to-morrow?"
Stay! what is this lying in the way? Lights here. SCHWARZ. He has been beforehand with us. Put up your swords. There he lies sprawling like a dead dog. SCHWEITZER. Dead! What! dead? Dead without me? 'Tis a lie, I say. Mark how quickly he will spring upon his feet! Hollo! up with you? There is a father to be murdered. GRIMM. Spare your pains. He is as dead as a log. Yes, his game is up!
After this day we shall meet no more. The post has arrived. My father's forgiveness must already be within the walls of this town. Enter SCHWEITZER, GRIMM, ROLLER, SCHUFTERLE, and RAZMAN. ROLLER. Are you aware that they are on our track! GRIMM. That we are not for a moment safe from being taken? CHARLES VON M. I don't wonder at it. It must be as it will! Have none of you seen Schwarz?
SCHWEITZER. Why, what the devil, captain! what are you about? Do you mean to turn away such a Hercules? Does he not look as if he could baste Marechal Saxe across the Ganges with a ladle? CHARLES. Because your silly schemes miscarry, you come here to turn rogue and assassin! Murder, boy, do you know the meaning of that word?
Von Schweitzer, as the successor of Lassalle at the head of the Universal Working Men's Association, occupied a powerful position, and the quarrels between the various elements in the labor movement were at this time almost fatal to the cause. However, various representatives of the working class already sat in Parliament, and among them were Bebel and Liebknecht.
