A few yards further on there stood a group of horsemen. One was General von Koon, the Minister of War, another was General Moltke, the soldier to whom more than any single person the conduct and conception of the campaign are due. On the extreme right, in the white uniform of a major-general of Landwehr Cuirassiers, a broad-shouldered, short-necked man sat mounted on a brown bay mare. Very still and silent the rider sits, waiting patiently until the interview between the King and the civic auth...orities is concluded. The skin of his face is parchment-coloured, with dull leaden-hued blotches about the cheeks ; the eyes are bloodless ; the veins about the forehead are swollen ; the great heavy helmet presses upon the wrinkled brows ; the man looks as if he had risen from a sick-bed which he ought never to have left. That is Count Bismarck-Schonhausen, Prime Minister of Prussia. Yesterday he was said to be well-nigh dying ; ugly rumours floated about the town ; his doctors declared that rest, absolute rest, was the only remedy upon which they could base their hopes of his recovery.
