Gondremark has thus some of the clumsier characters of the self-made man, combined with an inordinate, almost a besotted, pride of intellect and birth. Heavy, bilious, selfish, inornate, he sits upon this court and country like an incubus. But it is probable that he preserves softer gifts for necessary purposes.
I know nothing about that. Dear me, are there as many as all that? Well, you can sign them; you have the procuration. You see, Herr Cancellarius, I knew your wig. And so," concluded Gondremark, resuming his own voice, "our sovereign, by the particular grace of God, enlightens and supports his privy councillors." But when the Baron turned to Seraphina for approval he found her frozen.
'Good man, you are in the wrong about Gondremark, said Fritz, showing a greatly increased animation; 'but for all the rest, you speak the God's truth like a good patriot. As for the Prince, if he would take and strangle his wife, I would forgive him yet. 'Nay, Fritz, said the old man, 'that would be to add iniquity to evil.
In her lace and velvet, with a good display of smooth black stocking and of snowy petticoat, and with the refined profile of her face and slender plumpness of her body, she showed in singular contrast to the big, black, intellectual satyr by the fire. "How often do you send for me?" she cried. "It is compromising." Gondremark laughed.
The Chancellor stammered. "Your Highness will perhaps find the reason in these documents," said Gotthold, pointing with the tail of his pen. Otto thanked his cousin with a look.

The Princess faced round from the window with a pearly smile; nothing but her heightened colour spoke of discomposure.
But the snare is laid alike for male and female, and the world most artfully contrived. Near her, in a low chair, Gondremark had arranged his limbs into a cat-like attitude, high-shouldered, stooping, and submiss. The formidable blue jowl of the man, and the dull bilious eye, set perhaps a higher value on his evident desire to please.
To the Countess, on the other hand, he bowed with a kind of sneering wonder. 'Is it possible, madam, that you have not heard the news? he asked. 'What news? she cried. 'News of the first order, returned Sir John: 'a revolution in the State, a Republic declared, the palace burned to the ground, the Princess in flight, Gondremark wounded 'Heinrich wounded? she screamed.
"You fill me with admiration. I had not heretofore done justice to your qualities." Seraphina looked up with joy, supposing Otto conquered; but Gondremark still waited, armed at every point; he knew how very stubborn is the revolt of a weak character. "And the territorial army scheme, to which I was persuaded to consent was it secretly directed to the same end?" the Prince asked.
I keep the creature under the belief that I adore her; and if she caught a breath of you and me, she is such a fool, prude, and dog in the manger, that she is capable of spoiling all. 'All very fine, returned the lady. 'With whom do you pass your days? and which am I to believe, your words or your actions? 'Anna, the devil take you, are you blind? cried Gondremark. 'You know me.
