121 -9- "Let the damned lurk," calls Wallenstein tormented. "Smash the generalissimus in the devil's throat.I fever,I am sick..." "Not you alone are sick," sounds Terzky's voice,"a great voque, a great kingdom is dead sick.May the doctor get tired,which can still save it on the deathbed?* In the eyes of the Friedländer new splendor occurs. "The kingdom!"He speaks the two words solemnly and quietly. "It must be with the emperor and without the emperor!" "With the emperor or against the emperor," shouts the general. A knock and boot-sharpening. "What is there?" Terzky commands the lieutenant of the guard. "Mr. Obrist Butler, your Excellencies, ask the Generals, Count Terzky and Count Kinsky, for the hospitable iale for tomorrow evening into the Kaiserpfalz.Mr. Marshal Illo has agreed and has already agreed.Your princely graces should equally decide..." "I too?", Wallenstein asks, "has the Obrist butler likes to present to me." Terzki's face is shuddered by the mockery.He looks at the Friedländer swirly and seems to tend the massive head, affirmingly. Butler is already standing in front of Wallenstein, pulling the hat, stretching his arm to the side and touching the sword. Wallenstein hardly moves his head.Only his eyes shine up like hard suns. "Butler," he says with unmoved moves, "knows what he owes to Generalissimo...." "The best general of the globe," Butler bows down. "Stay with your opinion!" Wallenstein flashes at him."If the members allow, I will not be missing."
