Napoleon and Blucher But Blucher's apprehensions were not to be verified. Napoleon and Blucher "But he was the very man to take a great many things that did not belong to him," cried Blucher, vehemently. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher's eyes sparkled with delight, and a glow suffused his cheeks. Napoleon and Blucher So far were Blucher and his army from being in the state of annihilation described in the boastful bulletin by which Napoleon informed the Parisians of his victory at Ligny. The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathon to Waterloo "I do not care to be called so now!" exclaimed Blucher. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher was still in his room, but all his preparations were completed. Napoleon and Blucher "No, we have not satisfied the ends of justice," cried Blucher. Napoleon and Blucher Well, well," said Blucher, "you put on such solemn airs as almost to frighten me. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher had, in fact, a superiority of more than 12,000 in number over the French army that attacked him at Ligny. The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathon to Waterloo "No, give it to me," cried Blucher, embarrassed; "now that you are here, I can tell you every thing verbally, and it is unnecessary for you to read what I have written." Napoleon and Blucher Well, you will be here, Gneisenau," said Blucher; "you are half myself; you know my thoughts just as well as I do—nay, you often know them much better! Napoleon and Blucher "Because I cannot disgrace my honest name by doing dishonest things," cried Blucher, vehemently. Napoleon and Blucher A pretty fellow he is whom misfortunes at once exhaust," grumbled Blucher, "and who is courageous only as long as he is successful! Napoleon and Blucher Blucher," he said, mildly, "you have kept your word; you have fulfilled all that you promised us at Frankfort, when I informed you of your appointment to the command-in-chief. Napoleon and Blucher Christian," said Blucher, offering him his hand, "you are a dear boy; your heart is in the right place, and it is always the best thing in a man. Napoleon and Blucher Yes, to Brussels," said Blucher; "we set out to-night; but no one must know it; I will leave as quietly as possible. Napoleon and Blucher "Blucher, you forget yourself," said the king, almost sternly; "your words are too strong." Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, I shall certainly do so," joyfully cried Blucher. Napoleon and Blucher "We ought to have taken all their colors!" cried Blucher, eagerly. Napoleon and Blucher Sire," exclaimed the king, who in the mean time had conversed with General Sacken, "I just learned that your troops have anticipated me, and given Blucher a title that is far better than mine. Napoleon and Blucher The emperor took that presented to him, and pressed it with a quick and graceful movement on Blucher's head. Napoleon and Blucher "But, Gneisenau, how strange you are!" said Blucher, drawing his mustache through his fingers. Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, his troops are always in need of rest," murmured Blucher to himself; "I believe—" Just then the Emperor Alexander turned toward him. Napoleon and Blucher "Besides, I am sure you wish peace, like the rest of us," said the king, who saw that the veins on Blucher's forehead were swelling, and who wished to forestall too violent a reply. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher took off his gray forage-cap, and, holding it before his face, uttered a low, fervent prayer. Napoleon and Blucher Upward of a month had elapsed since the victory of La Rothiere, and Blucher's ardent wish had not yet been fulfilled; the allies were not in Paris. Napoleon and Blucher What would Field-Marshal Blucher be here for, if we do not march forward? Napoleon and Blucher "No, we shall not come back," said Blucher, thoughtfully. Napoleon and Blucher Come here, pipe-master," exclaimed Blucher, "come here and look at me. Napoleon and Blucher "Without leading to any results?" asked Blucher, breathlessly. Napoleon and Blucher "Your Blucher is a splendid hussar," said Alexander, looking at the king. Napoleon and Blucher "Ah, what do I care for your surveys?" cried Blucher, impatiently. Napoleon and Blucher "A man should be placed by his side who knows how to check his boldness," exclaimed Alexander—"a man who does not stifle Blucher's ardor, but gives it the true direction." Napoleon and Blucher "Pray go and fetch your friend, General Blucher," said the king, rising, like the emperor, from the table. Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, at once," said Blucher, with a joyful air. Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, Father Blucher, yes!" shouted the Prussians, jubilantly. Napoleon and Blucher What do I care for the towns, villages, forests, rivers, and hills?" replied Blucher: "I advance all the time, and that says every thing. Napoleon and Blucher "No; in a quarter of an hour Ney will be in our hands," shouted Blucher, confidently. Napoleon and Blucher But we still stand," cried Blucher, triumphantly, "and we shall stand in spite of Napoleon and the devil! Napoleon and Blucher The French being driven back, Blucher suddenly commanded a halt. Napoleon and Blucher Fifteen minutes afterward, General Blucher entered with Gneisenau the small chamber called his headquarters; all the other rooms were filled with the wounded prior to the general's arrival at Brechtelshof. Napoleon and Blucher "What orders do you bring from my king and master?" inquired Blucher, meeting the officer. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher cast a piercing glance on him, and seemed to read in the depths of his soul. Napoleon and Blucher Of course," said Blucher, sarcastically, "he is a count, and he has such a polish, and courtly manners; he knows how to flatter the sovereigns, and tell them only what is agreeable. Napoleon and Blucher Well, then it is all right," said Blucher, nodding; "from to-day M. Napoleon had better beware of me. Napoleon and Blucher If Blucher is really such a hero as you depict him," cried Alexander, "it would be a crime not to place him at the head of the Silesian army. Napoleon and Blucher And I tell you," shouted Blucher, in a thundering voice, "that the monarchs send for me to inform me that we are to face about and go home. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher still stood with his Prussians on the heights of Krockwitz, his face radiant with enthusiasm, his eye flashing with courage; but a warning adviser stood by his side. Napoleon and Blucher "Well," said Alexander, turning again to Blucher, "I am satisfied, however, that you did not belong to the three-fourths of the Germans that hated and loved according to the wishes of the Emperor Napoleon, general?" Napoleon and Blucher "Good- evening, madame," said the king, in a loud and somewhat harsh voice; "please tell me how old General Blucher is." Napoleon and Blucher For this reason Blucher, with his heroic soul, is as much an eyesore to them as Stein, with his plans of liberation and his energetic action for constitutional reform. Napoleon and Blucher Old Blucher's scolding is wholesome, and invigorates the heart; it is a new and vital air which his words breathe upon me. Napoleon and Blucher Scharnhorst thinks that Blucher would be a good physician for our stomachs. Napoleon and Blucher "The noble queen, I believe, was also a warm friend of General Blucher, was she not?" asked the emperor, after a pause. Napoleon and Blucher "I will send for Blucher." he beckoned to Scharnhorst to approach again. Napoleon and Blucher "And I beg leave, while the general goes into the hall, to cast a glance into the next room, to see what Blucher is doing," said the emperor. Napoleon and Blucher "I do not know whether I am as old as that," said Blucher, indignantly; "I know only that I am by no means desirous of repose, but rather deem it a great misfortune just now." Napoleon and Blucher There sat General Blucher with his wife; several gentlemen were seated near him. Napoleon and Blucher General Blucher and his Silesian army had not participated in these battles. Napoleon and Blucher "Then Bonaparte has left with this detachment," grumbled Blucher; "for if he were still with them, the French would not creep along like snails." Napoleon and Blucher "Well, if the boys cannot shoot to-day, they will have to club their muskets," said Blucher, cheerfully, when he and his suite rode out of Bollwitzhof, his headquarters, to reconnoitre the position of the French. Napoleon and Blucher It is as well conceived as it is bold," said Schwartzenberg, "and I beg leave to intrust the command of the whole army to Field-Marshal Blucher. Napoleon and Blucher Right or left," said Blucher, "it is all the same to me, provided we have them. Napoleon and Blucher "We might call it the battle of Brechtelshof, because the headquarters of our brave chieftain, our Father Blucher, are at that place," said Gneisenau, in a mild tone. Napoleon and Blucher It is true, they call me a mad hussar," said Blucher, shrugging his shoulders; "and Bonaparte, as I read somewhere the other day, calls me even a drunken hussar. Napoleon and Blucher Would that Heaven were to decree, 'Blucher shall command the Prussians!' Napoleon and Blucher Soon the artillery commenced to boom, and transmitted Blucher's battle-cry to Napoleon. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher looked around in silence; his lip quivered, his eyebrows contracted, and large drops of cold perspiration stood on his forehead. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher did not reply, gazing down with a sombre eye on the enemy, coming up in increasing masses. Napoleon and Blucher The Prussians fought like lions in those battles, and their commander, General Blucher, is like a chieftain in the Illiad. Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, they will!" laughed the soldiers; and Blucher galloped over to the other regiments, to fire their hearts by similar greetings. Napoleon and Blucher "Do you remember it all now?" asked Blucher, at the conclusion of their conference. Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, Amelia, I am still in my dressing-gown," said Blucher, gloomily gazing at his wife. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher started, and his eyes flashed with anger. Napoleon and Blucher Now, such a general is Blucher, the youth of seventy, a modern knight 'without fear and without reproach.' Napoleon and Blucher And this very bearing of the hussar general, as you call Blucher, has impressed me very favorably, for he who relies so firmly on his own strength must feel sure of victory. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher looked after him with a mournful glance and a deep sigh. Napoleon and Blucher "Yes," said the king, thoughtfully, "the queen had a great regard for Blucher, and considered him a brave and faithful patriot." Napoleon and Blucher Blucher, however, did not seem to notice the impression produced by his words, and looked around as composedly as if he had made a mere courtier's reply to the emperor's gracious salutation. Napoleon and Blucher "No, your majesty," exclaimed Blucher, "I have always belonged to his most consistent and implacable enemies, though I really owe him a great deal—nay, almost my life." Napoleon and Blucher A brief pause ensued, when the king approached Madame von Blucher, standing by the side of Scharnhorst. Napoleon and Blucher Field-Marshal Blucher, who was very sick all day, now intended to take an airing. Napoleon and Blucher "Your majesty," said Madame von Blucher, making a profound obeisance, "according to his heart and strength, he is a youth; according to his certificate of birth, he is seventy-one years old." Napoleon and Blucher He nodded pleasantly to Blucher, and then called General Scharnhorst to his side, turning, like the king, back to the audience-room. Napoleon and Blucher "Boys, the fun will commence now!" shouted Blucher's powerful voice. Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, we are doing well," cried Blucher; "but wait, boys—we shall do still better!" Napoleon and Blucher "I will go now," said Blucher, turning again toward the room. Napoleon and Blucher The bugles sounded, and forward sped Blucher at an impetuous gallop. Napoleon and Blucher No, do not mix me up with the matter," said Blucher, hastily; "the good God has vouchsafed us a victory, let us humbly thank Him for it, and not grow overbearing.—Wait, Napoleon and Blucher "You believe Hennemann will tell her?" asked Blucher, almost in dismay. Napoleon and Blucher With the nimbleness of a lad Blucher mounted his horse, and, no longer restraining his impatience, he galloped off. Napoleon and Blucher Yes, that is true," grumbled Blucher, "they are burning like fire. Napoleon and Blucher Were none but determined and energetic generals, like Blucher, at their head, my defeat would be certain. Napoleon and Blucher Ha!" said Blucher; "Gneisenau, I was right after all: Bonaparte is retreating. Napoleon and Blucher Yes, your majesty," said Blucher, casting a quick and fiery glance around the large circle of his audience, "the Emperor Napoleon did save me from a danger menacing my life. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher escorted his wife to the gallery occupied by ladies, and then followed the burgomasters, who had solicited the honor of conducting him to the supper-room. Napoleon and Blucher "Well," said Blucher, after a short reflection, "in that case I will yield, and stay." Napoleon and Blucher Boys," shouted Blucher to his soldiers, just as the balls of the enemy struck down whole ranks, "boys, remember that we have resolved to sabre the French. Napoleon and Blucher "Gneisenau," asked Blucher at last, in a hollow voice, and sighing, as though a stone weighed down his breast, "Gneisenau, what do you say?" Napoleon and Blucher A few minutes afterward Blucher entered, followed by Scharnhorst, who remained at the door, while Blucher advanced boldly toward the two sovereigns. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher looked at the two sovereigns with a gloomy, inquiring glance. Napoleon and Blucher "Come in, general," exclaimed Blucher; and offering his hand to the officer, he asked hastily, "tell me, in the first place, general, whether you bring good or bad news?" Napoleon and Blucher "Yes, I do," said Blucher, casting an anxious glance on the two letters lying on the table. Napoleon and Blucher "It is true, I have not thought of that," said Blucher, embarrassed. Napoleon and Blucher "Well, I should like to see who would prevent me!" cried Blucher, defiantly. Napoleon and Blucher "It is true, I did not think sufficiently on this matter," murmured Blucher to himself—"Voelzke," he then cried aloud, "you pledge me your word of honor that you can cure me?" Napoleon and Blucher "They did!" cried Blucher, in an angry voice. Napoleon and Blucher "Heaven be praised, your excellency!" cried Gneisenau, tenderly embracing Blucher, "you are still my noble field-marshal, who will not desert his army, his fatherland, and his friends, for the sake of his individual comfort." Napoleon and Blucher "First, therefore, you had to swear?" asked Blucher, drawing his long mustache through his fingers. Napoleon and Blucher Let us examine the alcove more carefully, pipe-master," said Blucher, "and see whether there is not somewhere else a secret door. Napoleon and Blucher "This is another instance of our foolish generosity!" growled Blucher, leaning back in his carriage. Napoleon and Blucher God bless you, heroic Blucher!" he exclaimed, affectionately embracing him, "You have fulfilled your promise made at Breslau. Napoleon and Blucher "And now we have to wait here without firing a gun," replied Blucher. Napoleon and Blucher The French rushed from the houses in hurried flight, hotly pursued by Blucher's soldiers. Napoleon and Blucher Blucher could now return to his headquarters and inform the monarchs of a victory. Napoleon and Blucher King Frederick William shook hands with Blucher, and a smile illuminated his features. Napoleon and Blucher "I have only done my duty, your majesty," said Blucher. Napoleon and Blucher "I do not think of it," said Blucher; "I do not permit any one to give me orders." Napoleon and Blucher Well, stand back there, doctor," cried Blucher, "let me out! Napoleon and Blucher "Well, it is precisely because I do not wish to get blind that I must move from here," said Blucher, who had now recovered his firmness, and felt relieved, since his secret had been disclosed. Napoleon and Blucher It is true, I shall be very lonely in a foreign city," said Blucher, thoughtfully; "but it is, after all, better than to stay here as a useless, blind old man. Napoleon and Blucher As on the Katzbach, Blucher's soldiers had to attack the enemy with their swords and bayonets. Napoleon and Blucher He galloped off, and Blucher looked after him. Napoleon and Blucher With the activity of a youth Blucher opened his carriage and vaulted on the horse, which the groom led close to the carriage. Napoleon and Blucher "Well, and did she understand your good Mecklenburg German?" inquired Blucher, smiling. Napoleon and Blucher "Ah, it is not for the sake of the triumph that I wish to go," cried Blucher, morosely. Napoleon and Blucher The monarchs themselves were of Blucher's opinion, and gave him full power, having his army reenforced by the corps of Bulow and Winzingerode. Napoleon and Blucher Well, I do not care," cried Blucher, "I will stay. Napoleon and Blucher "Why, yes, of course, I am," said Blucher, sullenly. Napoleon and Blucher Overcoming his pain, and keeping erect by a violent effort, Field- Marshal Blucher had himself dressed by his servants. Napoleon and Blucher There," said Blucher, taking the pipe from his mouth, and handing it to Christian, "take this pipe, and stay, do you hear, on this spot! Napoleon and Blucher All felt that a retreat, after this great victory, was entirely out of the question, and even Schwartzenberg and Bernadotte joined in Blucher's "Forward!" and marched their armies to Paris.
