"I UNquestionably!" Sigismund would answer, with astonishment.

"Soft, your Hungarian Majesty," thinks Jobst: "till my cash is paid, may it not probably be another ?" This question has its interest: the Electors just now (A.D.

1400) are about deposing Wenzel; must choose some better Kaiser.

If they wanted another scion of the House of Luxemburg; a mature old gentleman of sixty; full of plans, plausibilities, pretensions,--Jobst is their man.

Jobst and Sigismund were of one mind as to Wenzel's going; at least Sigismund voted clearly so, and Jobst said nothing counter: but the Kurfursts did not think of Jobst for successor.
