My present concern is with General Joffre as the antithesis of the Effigy. The effigy, "Thou Prince of Peace, Thou God of War," as Mr. Sylvester Viereck called him, prances on a great horse, wears a Wagnerian cloak, sits on thrones and talks of shining armour and "unser Gott."
In 1790, on the anniversary of the Countess of Ingenheim’s death, Mademoiselle Dœnhof was presented at Court. Everyone there was busy consoling Frederick William. A claimant had even been put forward in the person of a young lady called Viereck, a friend of Mademoiselle de Voss, who had taken the latter’s place with Princess Frederica.
And the Crown Prince can play the flute for it, since he has learned that art behind my back. And the ladies and gentlemen of the Court are to act in it? Surely. Give every one of them something to say, only not me. But Grumbkow must act in it. Yes, Grumbkow must be in it and the ladies Viereck and Sonnsfeld and Seckendorf and Must it be in English or in French? Neither.
Did you expect such a visitor? Your Majesty Do not let me disturb you, ladies. What is your particular entertainment this evening? Tea? Chocolate? Coffee? Your Majesty will surely permit us to keep pace with our age. Frau von Viereck, you, I imagine, have been keeping pace with your age long enough. About thirty years ago you'd give an old boy like myself a handshake occasionally.
Your Majesty such graciousness Both, Fran von Viereck let me have both. What's that? Did you not drop something? My God! I am sure, Frau von Viereck, you were merely prophesying from those cards. I know, ladies, that you were only telling your fortunes from the cards. I am quite sure, Frau von Viereck, that you were merely endeavoring to ascertain whether you would bury your fifth husband also.
I hear a noise. It is the Queen. She is excited and yet timorous. Welcome, ladies. I am happy to have about me once again the circle of those who, I know, are devoted to me. Pray sit down. I have decided to be more sociable in future and to have you with me oftener than I have done of late. Will you have a game of cards, Frau von Viereck? Cards, Your Majesty?
For eighteen years now I cannot recall having seen a card in the palace. We will change all that. Ladies, you have not yet heard my plans, you do not yet know what surprises this evening has in store for you Surprises, Your Majesty? Sit down there, my dear Holzendorf. Try your luck with Frau von Viereck. Heavens play cards there?
No, no, Kamke, the White Lady but come quickly now, quickly. FRAU VON VIERECK, FRAU VON HOLZENDORF, and about six more ladies enter cautiously, one by one, through the centre door. Hush! Step cautiously! It's all quiet here if only these wretched shoes of mine didn't creak so. What can Her Majesty the Queen be planning for tonight? Has His Majesty the King gone from home?
