We were then shortly after shown in to the King.

We passed through three rooms, the second of which was that in which stands the CONFIDENZ TAFEL [Table that goes by pulleys through the floor, and comes up refurnished, when you wish to be specially private with your friends].

In the fourth, a small room with one window, was the King.

The Chancellor walked first; I followed him close; behind me came the Rath Friedel, and then Graun.

Some way within, opposite the door, stood a screen; with our backs to this," the Kingward side of this, "we ranged ourselves,"-- in respectful row of Four, Furst at the inward end of us (right or left is no matter).
