There was Herr Tiefel with the little Dresden-blue eyes, red and round and jolly; and Hauptmann, long and thin and sallow; and Korner, redbearded and ponderous; and Konig, a little clean-cut man with a blond mustache that pointed upward.
What Sherman said about Pope's and Steele's forces is true as Gospel, and if you ever took the trouble to look into that situation, Tiefel, you would see it." And Stephen brought down his mug on the table with a crash that made the bystanders jump. "Himmel!" exclaimed little Tiefel. But he spoke in admiration.
They all tried to tell him at once, but Tiefel prevailed. "Because they were for making our country Austrian, my friend," he cried. "Because they were overbearing, and ground the poor. Because the most of them were immoral like the French, and we knew that it must be by morality and pure living that our 'Vaterland' was to be rescued. And so we formed our guilds in opposition to theirs.
Brinsmade began to read: "'While waiting for the speaker of the evening, who was half an hour late, Mr. Tiefel rose in the audience and called loudly for Mr. Brice. Many citizens in the hall were astonished at the cheering which followed the mention of this name. Mr. Brice is a young lawyer with a quiet manner and a determined face, who has sacrificed much to the Party's cause this summer.
And Herr Tiefel, carried away by the recollection, rose to his feet. The others caught fire, and stood up with their mugs high in the air, shouting: "Lebe wohl, Carl! Lebe wohl! Salamander, salamander, salamander! Ein ist ein, zwei ist zwei, drei ist drei! Lebe wohl!" And so they toasted every man present, even Stephen himself, whom they complimented on his speech.
"Ah, I can well believe that," answered Korner. "I will recount that matter, if you do not tell Carl, lieber Freund. He would not forgive me. I was there in Berlin at the time. It was a famous time. Tiefel will bear me out." "Ja, ja!" said Tiefel, eagerly. "Mr. Brice," Herr Korner continued, "has never heard of the Count von Kalbach. No, of course. We at Jena had, and all Germany.
And then we march at the head of a slow procession out of the old West Gate, two and two, old members first, then the fox major and the foxes." "The foxes?" Stephen interrupted. "The youngsters the freshmen, you call them," answered Richter, smiling. "And after the foxes," said Herr Tiefel, taking up the story, "after the foxes comes the empty carriage, with its gay postilion and four.
Stephen only nodded. He had never spoken of the bitterness of that, even to his mother. And here was the difference between the Saxon and the Anglo-Saxon. Richter smoked his pipe 'mid dreamy silence, the tear still wet upon his face. "Tiefel and I were at the University together," he said at length. "He remembers the day I left Jena for good and all.
Stephen sought Richter, who told him that the regiments were to assemble the morning of the morrow, prepared to march. "To Camp Jackson?" asked Stephen. Richter shrugged his shoulders. "We are not consulted, my friend," he said. "Will you come into my quarters and have a bottle of beer with Tiefel?" Stephen went. It was not their fault that his sense at their comradeship was gone.
Indeed, he spied his friend Tiefel there, and presently Richter came from the ranks to greet him. "My friend," he said, "you are made second lieutenant of our company, the Black Jaegers." "But I have never drilled in my life," said Stephen. "Never mind. Come and see the Leader." The Leader, smiling a little, put a vigorous stop to his protestations, and told him to buy a tactics.
