The King had always had a favor for Warkotsch's late Brother, as an excellent Silesian Landlord and Manager, whose fine Domains were in an exemplary condition; as, under the new Warkotsch too, they have continued to be.
Before bedtime, if indeed the King intended bed at all, meaning to be off in four hours hence, Friedrich inquired of Warkotsch for 'a trusty man, well acquainted with the roads in this Country. Warkotsch mentioned Kappel, his own Groom; one who undoubtedly knew every road of the Country; and who had always behaved as a trusty fellow in the seven years he had been with him.
And this is, more minutely than need have been, in authentic form only too diffuse, the once world-famous Warkotsch Tragedy or Wellnigh-Tragic Melodrama; which is still interesting and a matter of study, of pathos and minute controversy, to the patriot and antiquary in Prussian Countries, though here we might have been briefer about it.
Warkotsch was not long in riding over to Strehlen to pay his court, as in duty bound, for the honor of such a Visit; and from that time, Kappel, every day or two, had to attend him thither.
Kappel is on foot betimes next morning. Kappel is Catholic; Warkotsch, Protestant; Herr Gerlach is Protestant preacher in the Village of Schonbrunn, much hated by Warkotsch, whose standing order is: 'Don't go near that insolent fellow; but known by Kappel to be a just man, faithful in difficulties of the weak against the strong.
'Are you a Protestant? 'No, your Majesty, Catholic. 'See, IHR HERREN, said the King to those about him; 'Warkotsch is a Protestant; his Curatus Schmidt is a Catholic; and this man is a Catholic: there are villains and honest people in every creed! Nobody can help his luck. Take a bit of dinner with us, anyway! Rittmeister refused; but the Baroness too pressed him; he at length sat down.
