Brühl was indignant.
'It is only a beginning and not the end,' he said, 'we shall see what will become of the invaders and of us.'
'Yes,' said Sulkowski smiling, 'the King and you, that is to say, you, are going to make another country happy, and do with Poland as you have done with Saxony.'
'In the administration at Saxony,' Brühl said sarcastically, 'I had no need to introduce anything new, it sufficed to follow the steps of my worthy predecessor.'
Sulkowski's eyes shone.
'Your predecessor planned quite differently for the future of Saxony,' said Sulkowski proudly, 'and the best proof of that was the plan you gave to the Austrian Court through the Prince von Lichtenstein.'
Brühl was confused.
'I? I know nothing about it,' he muttered sulkily.
Sulkowski laughed, and paced to and fro.
'Brühl, listen; I speak as formerly, without giving you your title,' he said, 'do not play the fool with me, for it is useless.'
