"Say to this Major von Vangenheim that he will never receive this key!" said she, commandingly. The countess bowed, and left the room. "He has left," said she, when she returned to the queen; "though he said that he or another would return." "Let us now consult as to what is to be done," said the queen. "Send for Father Guarini, so that we may receive his advice."
Upon her colorless countenance there was a dark, angry expression, and a scoffing smile played about her thin, pale lips. "The King of Prussia," said she, in a low, whispering voice, as she reached the queen, "demands that the key to the state archives be delivered at once to his messenger, Major von Vangenheim." The queen raised herself proudly from her seat.
Thanks to the queen's consultation with her confessor and her maid of honor, the King of Prussia's messenger, when he returned, was not denied an audience. This time, it was not Major von Vangenheim, but General von Wylich, the Prussian commandant at Dresden, whom Frederick sent. Maria Josephine received him in the room next to the archives, sitting upon a divan, near to the momentous door.
