"I have already told you that the Russians and Austrians are faithful allies, and have no secrets from each other, as far as their designs upon Germany are concerned. Oh, it will be a splendid feu de joie for the house of Austria, when the Prussian armory is blown into the air! When are we to enjoy this spectacle, general?" General von Tottleben sank his head in silence on his breast.
Come to us and say, 'Remember the tax that I freed you from, and you shall see all that you desire shall be fulfilled." "God grant that I may never have need to remind you of it!" said Gotzkowsky, pressing back the excited Jews, and approaching General Tottleben. "You forget, sir, that you summoned the honorable Council of Berlin hither, and that these gentlemen are awaiting your orders."
The editors of the two newspapers were to run the gantlet; and besides, General von Tottleben had summoned the Town Council and Jews thither, to receive his last orders and resolutions before he left Berlin.
"Both of us, general, have still too much to do. You have to add fresh laurels to your old ones I have to clear thistles and thorns from the path of my fellow-men." "Ah! there are more thorns, then?" asked Tottleben, as he sank down into a chair, and regarded Gotzkowsky with evident benevolence. "A great many yet, sir," answered Gotzkowsky, sighing. "Our whole body is bloody from them."
Behind the Council tottered trembling and broken-hearted the elders of the Jews, including those of the mint, in order to receive their final condemnation or release from General Tottleben. The people took no notice of the Council or of the Jews.
Kretschmer, "whom you have accused of such cruel things. Ah! we have suffered great injustice, and we have been represented as worse than we really are. Oh, believe me, your excellency, I have been belied. I never hated Russia!" "You are both of you accused of libel," said Tottleben, sternly. "If we are guilty of libel, it is without our knowledge," said Mr. Krause.
Tottleben was not yet sufficiently Russian. His German heart would assert its rights. As he met the inquiring look of Ivan, he turned his eye away. He forgot that it was only a serf he was speaking to, and not a human being. But he soon recalled it.
The king reigned in his horse, and read the hand-bill. The people stood in silent terror, for the paper contained a sharp abuse of the king, and a libel on him in verse. What does your excellency think the king did when he had read this most treasonable placard?" "He had the mob cut it down, as it deserved to be, and the author strung up on the gallows," cried Tottleben.
"Who would have thought it?" said Ephraim, as, by the side of Itzig, and accompanied by some of the most wealthy Jewish merchants, he took the road to Gotzkowsky's dwelling "who would have thought it? The powerful Russian General von Tottleben is the friend of Gotzkowsky, and the greatest men among our people are now obliged to go to Gotzkowsky's house to implore his influence and protection."
He seemed not to be at all aware that Tottleben did not accept the hand which the Austrian general held out to him with a hearty greeting. "I come to chat for a short quarter of an hour with your excellency," said Count de Lacy, in very fluent German, but with the hard foreign accent of a Hungarian.
