The lithographed regimental orders for May 31, the Saturday before Whitsuntide, contained the following announcement: "On June 3, at 6.30 A.M., the regiment will be ready in the Waisenhaus Strasse to march to the practice-camp in the following order: Batteries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Corps of trumpeters and band.
"What do you want?" demanded Reimers. "Beg pardon, sir," stammered the fellow, "I thought you were ready." He held in his hand his master's cap and sabre. "All right, give them to me!" The lieutenant quickly completed his toilet, and hurried away to Waisenhaus Strasse. His passion for Frau von Gropphusen increased day by day. He took no pains to combat it.
"I am afraid I come too often." Güntz knocked the ash off the end of his cigar, and reassured him; "No, certainly not, old chap. If you did I should not hesitate to tell you." So it came about that every Sunday at mid-day, and on every Wednesday evening, Reimers found himself at the dinner-table of the snug little villa, Waisenhaus Strasse No. 57.
The occupants of Waisenhaus Strasse No. 55 and those of No. 57 alternately provided the comestibles. Reimers was always free of the table. Once he triumphantly contributed a liver sausage with truffles; but he was ruthlessly snubbed by Kläre for bringing such a thing in the dog-days. The little clique was much censured by the regiment.
Founder of the "Pietists," a kind of German Methodists, who are still a famed Sect in that country; and of the WAISENHAUS, at Halle, grand Orphan-house, built by charitable beggings of Franke, which also still subsists. A reverend gentleman, very mournful of visage, now sixty-four; and for the present, at Berlin, discoursing of things eternal, in what Wilhelmina thinks a very lugubrious manner.
The father, too, had some compensation by the Emperor commissioning his son to compose a solemn mass for the consecration of the new Waisenhaus church, which Wolfgang himself directed with the conductor's baton, in presence of the Imperial Family, on the 7th December, 1768. Immediately on their return home, the young virtuoso was appointed archiepiscopal Concertmeister.
Reimers did not care. He knew better. But the quartette at the supper-table in Waisenhaus Strasse did not seem displeased with the way in which things had turned out. Formerly, if he came late to supper, and excused himself on the plea of having been detained at tennis, there had been a fatal air of constraint, which would only gradually wear off; sometimes even lasting the whole evening.
