"With the exception of one letter, the same as the Baron." "The Baron!" cried a third; "yes, where is he ?" "There he stands talking at the door; take your glasses! now have all of us drank the Thou-brotherhood ?" The glasses were again raised; the young Baron laughed, clinked his glass, and shouted in the circle, "Thou, Thou!" But in his whole bearing there lay something constrained, which, however, none of the young men remarked, far less allowed themselves to imagine that his sudden retreat, during the first drinking, perhaps occurred from the sole object of avoiding it.
