"You refer to the Archdukes Charles and John," said Thugut, quietly. "It is true, I have removed Archduke Charles from his command, for his popularity with the army and people is very great, and would have become dangerous to the emperor.
Love me, therefore, in your own way, my beautiful, ugly prince of darkness!" "I love you in my own way, my charming angel, whom nobody believes to be a demon," said Thugut, laughing.
"Now, Hubschle, sit down," said Thugut, all the others having left the room by his orders. "Collect your five senses, and write what I am going to dictate to you." Hubschle sat already at the desk, and waited, pen in hand.
"The empress," continued Saurau, "has received the ambassadors also; she even had two interviews already with the minister of the French Republic, General Bernadotte." Thugut suddenly became quite attentive, and fixed his small, piercing eyes upon the police minister with an expression of intense suspense. "Two interviews?" he asked.
"I promise it, your excellency, and shall reply truthfully and fearlessly to whatever questions you may address to me, provided I am able to tell you the truth." "Yes, sir," replied Thugut, shrugging his shoulders. "Every thing has two sides, and both are true according to the stand-point from which one is looking at them.
"Will you assist me in expelling them?" asked Thugut, quickly. "How can you ask me?" she said, reproachfully. "So you have forgotten every thing?

He nodded sneeringly to Thugut, bowed respectfully to Count Colloredo, and left the minister's cabinet.
She remained standing in the door, and with her flaming eyes glanced over the room; then she fixed them on Thugut, and burst into a loud and merry laugh. "Ah, ah, that is the song of my bulbul, the ringing voice of my oriental nightingale," exclaimed Thugut, drawing the laughing lady with gentle force into the room and pushing the arm-chair again before the closed door.
This is the Baron von Thugut, my dear minister, the ambassador of the empress-queen, who carries in his pocket peace or war, as it may be." "Sire, I must protest against being so important a personage, as peace and war alone depend upon your majesty.
The face of the empress lighted up at once, and she replied to the general in very gracious terms, and gave him permission to renew his visits to her majesty whenever he wished to communicate anything to her. He had asked her to grant him this permission." "I knew the particulars of this first interview, except the passage referring to this permission," said Thugut, quietly.
