The Emperor cannot survive the Trotta! Thought the District Commissioner. He cannot survive them! They saced his life, and he will not survive the Trottas.

All that remains is for us to relate the final days of District Commissioner Trotta. They passed almost like a single day.

What did Herr von Trotta care about the hundred thousand dead who had since followed his son?

And he kept the letter from Major Zoglauer, now also deceased, in his inside pocket: every day he read it and it retained its terrible freshness and novelty, just like a funeral mound that is kept and tended by grieving hands.

So simple and so inappropriate literary treatment in the primers of the K-and-K elementary schools of Austria was the death of the grandson of the hero of Solferino. Lieutenant Trotta died, not with sword in hand, but **spoiler**

One by one to begin with, then in groupd, the men charged up the slope, shots rang out, and the men fell. The enemy cavalry the other side of the embankment shot at the thirsty men, and more and more thirsty men ran towards the fatal well.

That morning I saw many hundreds of ravens. I've never seen so many before. Strange ravens, coming from distant parts. I think they've come from Russia. We have a saying in my language that the ravens are the prophets among the birds.

Aren't you afraid? asked Trotta. Onufri was not afraid. He was staying at his sister's. The gendarmes passed through the village once a week without looking around. They were Ukranian as well, peasants like Onufri.

The military Trotta had to be buried and mournful. You didn't put a body into the ground without tears.

And the regiment, in all due humility and obedience, hereby takes the liberty, while the Captain of Horse was of the opinion that the 'And' was incorrect, and there was something not quite right about the' humility and obedience ' either.

He had no business with the
K - and - K army any more. That sort of thing was called 'desertion' and you were shot for it.

The Emperor, the white-beardded, forgetful old man with the crystal drop on the end of his nose, and old Herr von Trotta- they were Austria.

Every Sunday, Herr Nechwal's band played The Radetzky March. Once a week, on a Sunday, Austria still existed.

He eyed his gala tunic distrustfully, like a slow old horse who has spent years in the shady cool of his stables, and is suddenly forced to participate in a trotting race.

And his experiences over the last few years had taught him that these same twittering birds were always to blame for his little episodes of forgetfulness.

His pride has been the strong companion of his early years, then it became the prop of his old age, and now he had lost it, the poor old District Commissioner!

Take early retirement. You are no longer fit to serve your Emperor! But in the very next instant, his fatherly feelings yelled: The times are to blame!

The message ended with' thousand kisses'. The figure offended the Lieutenant. She shouldn't have been so miserly. Why couldn't she have telegraphed hundred thousand!

He could only bring the drama Zriny by Theodore Körner and nothing else, he had always felt a vague resentment against the mournful gentleness of those little story books, and against those golden characters.

Their names might be Karl, Franz, Alexander, Joseph, Allison, Christoph or something else. But the District Commissioner tried to call each of them Jacques.

He was old and tired, and Death was already waiting for him, but Life wasn't done with him yet. Like a cruel host, it detained him at its table, because he hadn't yet tasted all the bitterness that had been prepared for him.

What? They didn't want to be called Jacques?! Those layabouts without merit or experience, intelligence or discipline?!

Even the real Jacques had been called something else originally and had taken on his name and proudly worn it a whole lifetime in a way that a famous poet might assume the nom de plume under which he had written his deathless verses.

They've just had enough of my rule, thought the old man. And there's nothing to be done about that! He added fatalistically. Because he was an Austrian...
