There is no hope . The poor baron wo n't live until night . '' The little hunting lodge of Rodeck , which lay so white and silent in the snow of that first December day , had seldom been witness to so great an excitement as that occasioned by Baron Wallmoden 's accident . It was about noon when the two foresters appeared with their unconscious burden in their arms . Hartmut Rojanow had seen at a glance what was to be done . He had the injured man taken at once to Prince Adelsberg 's room , sent off a messenger for the nearest physician , and gave intelligent orders concerning the sick man 's treatment until the doctor should arrive . Then , when the physician told him there was no hope , he dispatched old Stadinger to Fürstenstein .
