And then, descending from his oratorical elevation, declared that he would now "not only have the four duchies, but all Lower Silesia, with the town of Breslau. If the Queen does not satisfy me in six weeks, I will have four duchies more. They who want peace will give me what I want. I am sick of ultimatums; I will hear no more of them.
Bob met the baleful glare from under his square brows, as the man teetered back and forth on his heels. "You got a hell of a nerve!" said Roaring Dick, thickly. "You talk like you was boss of this river." Bob looked back at him steadily for a full half-minute. "I am," said he at last. Roaring Dick had not been brought up in the knowledge of protocols or ultimatums.
Frederic rose in a rage, and with loud voice and threatening gestures, exclaimed, "If the queen does not, within six weeks, yield to my demands, I will double them. Return with this answer to Vienna. They who want peace with me, will not oppose my wishes. I am sick of ultimatums; I will hear no more of them. I demand Silesia. This is my final answer. I will give no other."
Then, allowing his feelings to break out, walking up and down the little room in which we were deliberating with great strides, he cried, 'It is very kind of me to take the trouble to which you condemn me; our conditions are ultimatums you must accept or reject them. I will not take part in it any longer; bring an interpreter to-morrow, henceforward I will not speak French any longer."
Tseretelli made the only reply it was possible for a sane man to make: "It is proposed that we speak to the Allies with ultimatums, but did those who made this silly proposal think that this road might lead to the breaking of diplomatic relations with the Allies, and to that very separate peace which is condemned by all factions among us?
Now her voice came in that low restraint in which ultimatums are spoken. "Whatever ye leaves me in land an' money hain't nuthin' ter me ef I kain't love ther man I weds with. An' whilst I seeks ter be dutiful thar hain't no power under heaven kin fo'ce me ter wed with no other!"
I am no believer in ultimatums. In attaining one's end they seldom prove successful. I tore the note into tiny pieces, and defiantly, with Polly in the seat beside me, drove into the open country. At first we picked our way through New Bedford, from the sidewalks her friends waved to her, and my acquaintances smiled. The detective was right.
