Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Listen, Br�hl, let us play at court; I shall be the queen and you the great chamberlain.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z And then, my Br�hl, you will not be without protectors. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl presently appeared in the King's box. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl did not answer: he made him understand by his look that he wished to enter and to rest. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z As he thus walked aimlessly to and fro there came from the castle a young good-looking boy, about the same age, but different in dress and mien to modest Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The dusk prevented him from seeing their faces very clearly, or noticing what clothes they wore, but after awhile Br�hl was able to distinguish that they were young men. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Without waiting for this question, Br�hl advanced a few steps further, and asked severely: 'What are you doing here?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Frau Br�hl, luxuriously dressed, was sitting opposite the King, looking thoughtful. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl stood thoughtful, then he whispered in Pauli's ear: 'Est modus in rebus! Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl murmured something indistinctly by way of thanks, kissed his hand and rose. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Oh!' said Br�hl,' there are other means too.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z His features also were quite different to those of Br�hl; the latter looked more like a courtier, the former like a soldier. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It seemed that he was looking only at her, although a sharp eye could have detected that from time to time he glanced towards Br�hl's wife. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He slackened his pace, and drawing near to Br�hl, addressed him gaily: 'How are you, Henry? Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl pointed with his hand, and said: 'It would be difficult for you to find the highway but if you will accept me as your guide, I am at your service.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl seemed to be very grateful and could not find words to thank him for his kindness. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z To the right, through the half-opened door a stream of bright light was seen, and at the noise of Br�hl's shoes on the shining parquetry floor, a child's head appeared. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Frau Br�hl evidently wished to be the greatest beauty of that evening and she had put on a gold and white dress in which she looked like a virgin. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl bowed humbly and then looked with ecstasy into the Countess's black eyes. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z A few days after that on which Br�hl succeeded to Pauli's office, Augustus II's favourite became his aide-de-camp. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z When old Fleming died, Br�hl was placed in charge of the King's secret archives. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl entered, as it seemed to him, without being noticed; he did not speak and seemed to be looking for someone. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Both ministers waited till the lackeys were dismissed, when Sulkowski whispered something to the King, smiled and pointed to Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Count looked into Br�hl's face, which was beaming with joy. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, coming back slowly, seemed to hesitate, as though pondering something in his mind. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl bowed and wished to go out with the letter. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl gave him a thaler, wrapped himself in his mantle and descended the stairs. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Although I fear no rivalry, because I am sure of the heart of my gracious lord, why should we make Br�hl unhappy by letting his ambition grow? Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z So saying he entered with Br�hl into a large, modestly furnished room. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Zinzendorf looked at Br�hl piercingly, as though wishing to penetrate into his soul, but those windows, Br�hl's beautiful eyes, through which he hoped to look within him, avoided meeting his. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl bowed to her as he would have done to an elderly lady. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Ten years have passed since that prologue to Br�hl's life, since that first scene in a long drama. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, who seldom met his wife, offered her his arm. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was still that brilliant, affable, charming young man, whose fascination even his foes could not resist. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl glanced at the unpleasant mask and walked upstairs, but the bandit followed him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z While Pauli was emptying the last glass, Br�hl bent forward and took from under the table another bottle. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl poured out another glass; Pauli drank it. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Queen is jealous of the King's favours towards you, the almighty Padre Guarini is your foe and Br�hl your rival. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Saying this, Br�hl, as if he were tired, wiped the perspiration from his forehead and sat on the nearest chair. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl threw off his cloak and going on tip-toe approached the door at which he knocked softly. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl rang the bell on the first floor. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl nodded in the affirmative, but as he did so he encountered a severe glance from the host; so he stopped the gesture, and changed his expression into a double-faced smile. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl would not dare, even had he such allies as the Queen and the venerable Padre.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The minister, Br�hl, and the other young man, each listened with quite different feelings. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl shivered and blushed: looked at Henniche sharply, as though he would learn whether he mentioned the name with any design. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl's dressing-room was already considered one of the sights of the capital. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was not quite decided in his choice of a dress. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z In Poland the Count Moszynski, the Bishop Lipski and others were working hard to assure the Prince's election as King, and Br�hl guaranteed that it would be done. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z In the meantime Br�hl was stopped by a gipsy. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl entered: there were some papers to be signed and money to be taken for the journey. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The King looked sharply towards the Secretary of the Treasury and asked: 'Br�hl, have you the money?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl threw himself into a chair, as though unable to stand on his feet. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z That evening when the Prince went to his apartment, Sulkowski and Br�hl followed him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The intelligent boy looked into Br�hl's eyes, did not say a word, and went out. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z There was a moment of silence; at length Frederick gave Br�hl his hand to be kissed and made a sign to him to rise. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He was less humble than Br�hl, but a more consummate courtier, more daring, in a word he was a 'cavalier' as they said in those times, of the best sort. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Less familiar with the affairs of state than Br�hl, who for a long time worked in Augustus' private office, he was sure of the help of a man from whom he expected assistance. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The next day, probably by permission of the Countess, Br�hl paid his respects to the young girl who was sitting alone. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski's way of living was more modest than Br�hl's, for he was not fond of luxury. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Zinzendorf and his companion picked up their sticks and bags, and followed Br�hl, who seemed by no means pleased at the meeting. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl ran to him and said: 'How happy I am to see you!' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl rang the bell; a lackey promptly attended. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, notwithstanding a great faculty for conversation, felt that words failed him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It was a very important matter, for the King was fond of difficulty in recognising his guests; and perchance Br�hl did not wish to be recognised at all. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z From that moment it was Br�hl's duty to make the Pactolus flow continually with gold, although it would be mixed with blood and tears. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was no longer a humble page, but a man with whom the most influential dignitaries were obliged to reckon. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl looked at himself in the mirror and put on a mask. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Was Br�hl not madly in love with the Countess Moszynski?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z When they both reached the rooms, Br�hl disappeared in the crowd. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The woman wrote on his palm; Br�hl withdrew his hand, mixed quickly with the crowd and disappeared. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl stood near a column, hesitated for a moment, and then greeted her, touching the brim of his hat. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He bent down, wishing to look under the mask, but Br�hl pressed it over his face with his hand. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Anyone seeing the scornful looks of Br�hl's wife directed at the King, would have been surprised and frightened at the contempt with which she dared to look at him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl sat down on a chair as though not having heard the question, and leaned his sorrowful head on his hand. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl rose and sighed, looked around, wrung his hands and cried: 'My most gracious lord, the King, is dead!' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It was difficult to guess how he could have learned so quickly of Br�hl's arrival. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl shall be or rather is a Catholic. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Frau Br�hl's eyes often wandered in that direction, rested on the beautiful face of the youth and tried to meet his eyes; their glance met and the youth blushed. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z We shall find him a Catholic wife, whom he will accept from the Prince's and our hands; we shall help him to overthrow Sulkowski; with Br�hl we are lords here. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski shall only be the apparent ruler, Br�hl shall be the true one, and then--' 'You think you will be able to overthrow him?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, who was one of the most refined dandies of his time, attributed great importance to dress, and was dressed that day with particular care. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z When Br�hl finished he did not dare to raise his eyes. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The next day in the morning, Br�hl was in the King's room. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The news spread in the town and when in the evening Br�hl appeared in the theatre among the pages, Sulkowski, who attended the Prince, came to congratulate him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, with his legs stretched out, lying back in the recesses of a comfortable arm chair, his hand shining with splendid rings, seemed to be absorbed in thought and perplexities. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl put out his hand and she gave him hers on which he wrote her name. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Henniche, Br�hl's confidential man, that ex-lackey whom although promoted to the rank of councillor the people still called by that name, was sitting in his house situated near that of his protector. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl had additional trouble in watching the King so closely that no one could unexpectedly approach him; at all audiences, without any exception, Br�hl was present. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Drowned in his thoughts, Br�hl did not notice that his post-chaise had stopped before the door of his house. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl moved away, as though afraid the strangers would detain him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z As soon as Br�hl noticed it, he rushed to the unfortunate man and lifted him from the ground. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was still hesitating, when a dignified middle-aged man appeared in the doorway and conducted him to a further apartment. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl went out; five minutes later, the King, preceded by a chamberlain, went to his consort's apartments. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Here were two young men, and it seemed to Br�hl that he knew the taller of the two. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl came to the conclusion that he had nothing to do there. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The moment Br�hl entered the carriage and drew the green curtain he was driven to the castle. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl's post-chaise stopped at the door and a Venetian nobleman stepped out gravely. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was waiting in the King's apartment. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The bandit came close to him, bent over him and whispered evidently something disagreeable in his ear, for Br�hl drew aside impatiently. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl had no wish to look into the future and wanted to pass the gipsy, but she insisted. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She looked at him attentively, and walked further on; Br�hl followed her. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The whole retinue, escorted by a detachment of cavalry, had already reached the bridge, while Br�hl's carriage still stood in the courtyard of the castle. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He became thoughtful and ended with: 'Listen Br�hl, it is Ribera--' 'Yes, your Majesty, it is Ribera,' affirmed the minister. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The servants recognised Br�hl, and pressed forward, but he dismissed them with a wave of the hand and entered the room with Sulkowski. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl quickly divested himself of his furs. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski followed the Jesuit quite unwillingly, leaving Br�hl who leaned his head on his hand and became thoughtful. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, standing near the door, put his hand on the boy's shoulder. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, having made some further remark, left her with a sweet smile. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl again sat at the table and covered his face with his hands. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The door opened, Br�hl entered slowly with such a sorrowful expression on his face, that the Prince dropped his pipe and rose. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Frederick again gave him his hand to be kissed; Br�hl bent very low and pretended to be crying; covering his eyes with a handkerchief, he sobbed. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z To-morrow he ascends the throne, and to-morrow also Br�hl will either return to Thuringia or accept the position of a lackey in order to overthrow him at the opportune moment. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z At that moment Br�hl came behind the stage; he looked at Faustina, nodded to her, then at Teresa, to whom he made some sign, and while the orchestra was playing, all took their places. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The last glass was a little clouded; Br�hl wished to push it aside. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Something like anger flashed across Br�hl's face, but it became serene again immediately. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z A silver tray was in readiness in the ante-room; Br�hl placed the letters on it, and entered the King's apartment. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z This time Br�hl read more distinctly and more boldly. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z After ten o'clock all left the table in excellent humour; the King accompanied by Sulkowski and Br�hl went to his apartment. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl bowing humbly presented the letter to the King, which was so well written that it was not necessary to copy it. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl on seeing the man, rose quickly as though moved by a spring, and walked across the room. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl waited for orders which the new King did not dare to give; Sulkowski gave Br�hl to understand that he had better leave them. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl hesitated, and then he left the room. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Passing the row of ladies Augustus III affected not to see any of them, but when he passed Br�hl's wife he exchanged with her a significant look. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl willingly resigned his appointment as Grand Marshal of the court, which dignity the Prince bestowed upon Sulkowski, and was content to be the president of the ministers and Secretary of the Treasury. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She looked at him: Br�hl grew confused. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Nobody respects the minister Br�hl more than I do.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Count hesitated a moment, then said: 'Br�hl assured us that our friends there will work zealously at the coming election. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z While this was going on in the castle, Br�hl, sent away on some pretext, gave orders that he was to be carried home. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Prince changed the subject of conversation, and said: 'Don't be angry, that I propose to make Br�hl a minister although he is a Protestant. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The sight of them alone made the Prince happy, but he had another source of happiness in that Sulkowski and Br�hl were such good friends. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl seemed to be Sulkowski's best friend, and the latter being sure of the Prince's favour did not fear him as a rival. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl entered the office, where he found Globig, Hammer, and Loss. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z When they entered the dressing room Frau Br�hl withdrew her arm and, going to the dressing table, put down her gloves. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Prince could rest quietly; in Poland numerous adherents were working for him, in Dresden Sulkowski and Br�hl, equally ambitious, though the former was more sure of his position. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He glanced at the chair on which hung a napkin left, by Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Your enemies accused you; the Queen is at their head, then Guarini, and the cunning Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z You have some influence, take advantage of it, but it will be a fight for life or death, with the Queen, confessor and Br�hl.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski, Br�hl, the old General Bandissin and all the men belonging to the court accompanied the King, who was in an excellent humour. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Vogler did not hide his dislike of Br�hl and although he said little, one could see that he disliked the court and everything that was going on there. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, however, notwithstanding his apparent calm, was thoughtful and gloomy. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl did not appear to be frightened but very much annoyed. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He received his wife with a serene face and told Ludovici to prepare all documents accusing Br�hl of false accounts, showing his abuses, etc. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl brought him a picture painted by Rembrandt. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z After the Mass and audiences, during which the silent King did not waste many words, Br�hl remained with him alone. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl is a historical figure as well as a remarkable type of his epoch; in Br�hl's life, that of Augustus III appears as in a mirror. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was obliged to accept his fate. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl grew pale and wanted to withdraw, thinking that he had fallen into an ambush. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was with Henniche whom he dismissed, and before Sulkowski, who was obliged to pass through several drawing-rooms, reached his study, he fell on his knees before a crucifix and began to pray. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl stood astounded 'I am sure you know the fable,' said Sulkowski, 'about a storm, during which a wolf found himself in a cavern with a lamb--it is something like that with us! Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The farce lasted quite a long time, and every time Br�hl lifted his hand Sulkowski could see a rosary-round his wrist. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl started as if frightened, and having perceived Sulkowski covered his eyes: 'Ah! dear Count! Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski rose from the sofa and went to the drawing-room; Br�hl followed him, smiling notwithstanding the emotions he had just experienced. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl--capital fellow, Br�hl!' said the King, but lowered his head. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z In the drawing-room Br�hl's beautiful wife was waiting for them. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Although Br�hl was prepared, he could not answer at once and dropped his eyes. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Apprehensive and confused Br�hl waited for the King. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z What does he intend to do?' asked Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z At eleven o'clock the King is alone; Br�hl is not with him.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She was a beautiful, black-eyed Viennese, with aristocratic features, who was also Br�hl's Egeria, and said without any greeting: 'I make a wager that they go to Vienna.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Without asking the name of the nobleman he preferred his request, or, as he thought, command, that they should vacate it in favour of his Excellency the Count Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z You may be to others as innocent as Ephraim, but to me you will always remain Br�hl, whom I remember wearing the uniform of a page and saluting the lackeys.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z With these words, Sulkowski took his fur cap, and taking no further notice of Br�hl, walked out. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The banishment to Nebigan is not very dreadful and does not exclude all hope--of overthrowing all that scaffolding built by my honest, sweet, faithful friend, Br�hl! Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z To this his wife replied: 'Br�hl will not be satisfied with banishment, we shall be in his hands! Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z In town they speak of nothing else; they wonder, they tremble--' 'They rejoice,' added Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl would hardly leave the castle; he would stand at the door trying to guess the King's thoughts. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl felt omnipotent, and his viceroys, as they called his councillors, grew more and more arrogant. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Come nearer,' she said to Br�hl, 'don't be afraid. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z One morning Br�hl entered the King's room with a pile of papers. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The King did not answer; presently he turned to Br�hl and said: 'In the afternoon shooting at the target in the castle.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z They were obliged to leave him, and Br�hl called the Padre into the next room. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He knew enough of Br�hl to understand that his wisest course was to follow the King's advice. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He treated Br�hl as malum necessarium and looked down upon him with that superiority, sure of itself, which shuts its eyes to peril. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl conquered, but for many years he was afraid of the revenge Sulkowski might take, which, however, the latter never attempted. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, who distrusted him as much as the Baron Schmiedel, tried to get him dismissed, but Augustus would not permit him to drive off all his father's faithful servants. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was waiting in the King's room with the documents, but he was distracted and morose. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl promised to buy the horses but nobody would accept his offer and he was forced to seek a lodging in the village. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He did not make Br�hl his confidant, but he did not exercise sufficient caution and permitted him to guess. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The messenger returned with the answer and Br�hl, not apprehending any inconvenience from meeting a stranger ordered them to drive to the inn. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It was Br�hl's custom to double his civility when he was slighted, and he alighted from the carriage with a determination to put the proud nobleman to shame by his amiability. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Who knows, I may take a fancy and be good to you for a few days, but I will not be anybody's slave--even--' She turned to Br�hl who stood silent and embarrassed. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Jesuit put out his hand to him; Br�hl, confused and blushing slightly, kissed it. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He very seldom met Br�hl alone, as one of them was obliged to be always with the Prince, to keep him amused. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z First he glanced at Br�hl's face consulting it as if it were a barometer to tell his humour. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z This hour Br�hl usually spent with the King, but to-day he took advantage of his wedding and went to see the Prince von Lichtenstein. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl has married not the Countess Kolowrath alone, but with her he has married the Austrian Court, Father Guarini and the Princess. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl's enigmatical smile seemed to answer: 'Yes, madam, I am waiting.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z While she was so deeply thoughtful Br�hl came to her, bowed respectfully and smiled sweetly. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She locked the door behind her; Br�hl remained alone. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It was Br�hl, as one could guess. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The dusk was already falling when Br�hl and the Padre left the room in which Teresa remained, as sad as before. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl checked the Prince's impatience by a cool business question. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl and you shall come with me--the Queen also. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl put his hand carelessly into his side pocket; seeing this, Lichtenstein drew nearer. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Her beautiful face had not the irresistible charm so attractive in Frau Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z A keen observer would have seen how Faustina frowned at the King; how Frau Br�hl looked at him impatiently, how Moszynski eyed her husband, and how Br�hl smiled maliciously. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl having received the King's orders went home; Sulkowski remained. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Countess Moszynski with her severely beautiful features, reminding many of Cosel, was beautiful but in no way did she rival Frau Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl returned the salute with perfect ease and amiability. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He was too angry with Br�hl to be able to control himself. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z A year after the preceding events, the palace occupied by Br�hl was profusely illuminated. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z On her other side Br�hl, wearing a blue and gold velvet dress, stood smiling sweetly at his mother-in-law. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was envied, at which he smiled. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z As orders were given to extinguish the lights, the lackey took a silver candelabra and lighted Br�hl to his chamber. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Prince asked Br�hl to be seated, and he himself took a chair opposite him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z In the twinkling of an eye the paper disappeared into a pocket and Br�hl, sitting comfortably back in his chair, was taking snuff from a gold snuff box. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski, standing in the doorway, looked at Br�hl and Lichtenstein, but more especially at his competitor who put out his hand to him and smiled sweetly. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It was evident that Br�hl did not like what he said, he looked at the King, hesitated a little as though he regretted leaving them together, then he bowed submissively and left the room. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z They guessed only that Br�hl might fall and that Sulkowski would rise above all. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z But pray, tell me, who is this Br�hl?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl having noticed him, asked: 'What do you want?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Seeing that he would not be able to get rid of him, Br�hl came to him and waited to hear what he had to say. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z When the door was closed, Augustus III smiled and sitting in a chair, said laconically as was his custom: 'There are only you and Br�hl.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was in a hurry, so he nodded and went out. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl, with bent head and thoughtful, walked slowly along the path bordered with trees. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z When Br�hl reached the threshold she came to meet him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z They remained alone, till suddenly Frederick took the handkerchief from his eyes and said: 'Where is Br�hl?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Perhaps it may have seemed to him strange that Sulkowski should speak in that patronising way about Br�hl, but he did not show it. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Padre Guarini passes from the Prince to the Princess; Sulkowski watches them closely, and as to Br�hl, I don't even know what has become of him.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Having said this Br�hl took the medal from his pocket and showed it to the Countess. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She looked at both sides, read the inscription, smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and wanted to throw it through the window, but Br�hl stopped her. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Cosel's daughter ought to rule over Saxony--I understand--' Having said this she moved majestically towards the same door by which Br�hl had entered, and through which she disappeared. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl paced up and down the room. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl looked at the Countess; her suspicion seemed to be probable. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The more Br�hl hated anyone the more sweet he was towards him: it was not in vain that he had been brought up in the school of Augustus the Strong. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl blushed; he stopped, still smiling, but he was out of patience with this preaching man. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z One who looked at Br�hl at a moment when he thought he was not observed, would have seen under that sweet smile a cold perversity, the depths of which were frightening. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl looked through the window, the street was already empty. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was perfectly aware that he would not be able to rule absolutely over the Prince, until he overthrew Sulkowski, who furnished arms against himself. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z I think that he ordered that medal to be struck--' said Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z They shook hands; Br�hl played admirably the part of being moved. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The third prize, destined for Br�hl, was an enormous hare, dressed as Crispino. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Several times already he had asked after Br�hl when he had been absent longer than usual. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Round Br�hl's house situated in the New Market Square everything was quiet. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He was in the same room in which we saw him previously with Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski and Br�hl knowing how fond the Prince was of music and of Faustina, were inclined to persuade him to have a performance. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The hour in which he smoked his pipe, enjoyed the tricks of Frosch and Horch, and the company of Br�hl and Sulkowski, for no one else could see him then. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z His usual companions tried their skill against his, but Br�hl, although he shot well, took great care not to shoot better than the King. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl's opinion was that his Majesty was right in maintaining that those made the best servants whose whole career depended on the favour of the King. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl would probably have kissed his hand had there not been a witness. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl rose as if he were forced, but he was satisfied inwardly. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl while not forgetting that he should appear to be overwhelmed by sorrow, could not abstain from glancing from time to time at those present, especially at Sulkowski. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Listen, they frighten me about him----' He looked into Br�hl's eyes solemnly. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl took him into the next room, locked the door, and said: 'Speak quickly.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It was said that Br�hl was her patron. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Guarini and Br�hl were both tired and silent, they sat beside each other, looking into each other's faces; the Jesuit began to smile. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Sulkowski is married, consequently I must marry the other minister, Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He looked at Br�hl who nodded in the affirmative. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Soon after the events described, one day after dinner, which was served in those days before two in the Castle, Br�hl entered his house. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Henniche put his bony hand into one of his pockets, took from it something shining, and handed it to Br�hl. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl threw the medal on the floor; Henniche stooped and picked it up from under the sofa where it had rolled. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She spoke quietly; her daughter did not dare to interrupt her; Br�hl stood silent, and leaning a little forward seemed to listen attentively. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Carriages were going towards the castle and he recognised Br�hl's post-chaise and smiled bitterly. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z There was so much passion in his voice, that it struck Br�hl suddenly that Watzdorf might be the man whom the beautiful Frances loved. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl smiled as sweetly as he could. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Henniche looked at him ironically--Br�hl left the room without having noticed it. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Watzdorf, who at the turn of the road separated from Br�hl, walked swiftly at first, then slowly, wandering without any aim. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was still more alarmed that the Count did not seem to be crushed by his misfortune. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Some instinct made Sulkowski feel that Br�hl was his antagonist, but he laughed at the idea. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Having said this Br�hl stepped aside quickly; his face assumed its usual sweet smile. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She wished to intercede with Br�hl, but pride closed her mouth: besides she was not certain that Watzdorf did not exaggerate his peril. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl offered his arm to his wife but she pretended not to see his movement and walked independently beside him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z She put out her hands to Frau Br�hl and said: 'There is victory sur tout la ligne! Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Thinking that Br�hl when he saw Watzdorf go out would return, she grew confused. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl appeared at the door, and having perceived the woman whom he had never seen before but guessed who she was, became dumb with astonishment and did not know what to do. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z In your high position you might be indifferent,' Br�hl continued with well-played animation, 'but for such a small man as I am--' Sulkowski frowned. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl hastened, for it was time to go to the park where targets were placed, and the court was going there. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z No!' said Augustus, looking at Br�hl and growing pale; then he rose and paced to and fro. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z If one does not know how to handle it,' said Br�hl, 'one might shoot oneself.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Prince never mentioned his name; Sulkowski and Br�hl did not wish to know anything about the affair. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl was one of the greatest spendthrifts among the nouveaux riches; he astounded even those whom nothing could surprise. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Having said this, she rose; Br�hl smiling as sweetly as he could, wished to take hold of her hand, but she withdrew, and said: 'I wish you good-bye.' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl looked at Guarini as though urging him to finish the matter. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The same evening there was a reception at Br�hl's palace. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Jesuit went to the Queen, Br�hl returned home with the papers. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z That afternoon Br�hl was not with the King. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Early in the morning Br�hl came to the King for his orders, and having left Guarini with him, returned to his palace. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Even Br�hl was then obliged to forget his duties as prime minister and assume the r�le of one of the King's fools. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z He now felt at home in her house, for her husband had died a few months previously, and Br�hl was certain that she was too much in love with him to marry anybody else. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Augustus began to smoke and pointed at Br�hl with his pipe. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Coming down from the stairs, he perceived Br�hl's porte-chaise and it angered him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z At length he stopped, put his hands on the minister's shoulders and asked: 'Br�hl, what do you think of Sulkowski?' Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z It was impossible immediately to think of restraining the Queen's influence, but it was in Br�hl's plans to do so. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The Count hesitated as to whether or not he should call on Br�hl, who ought to have already paid a visit to him. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z The order was significant, Br�hl was confounded. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z But Br�hl stood there like an executioner. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl greatly feared capture by the King of Prussia who hated him, and in consequence endeavoured to reach Augustus in whose company he felt safer. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Br�hl would shorten the disagreeable duty by handing to the King documents ready for his signature. Count Br?hl 2011-10-06T02:00:41.430Z Count Br�hl's major-domo hastened to 'Ye Old Horse' where he found the numerous and lordly retinue of someone whom they called prince.
