four o'clock
As soon as we could get away from the diningroom Bernd and I went out into the garden -- the Graf and Grafin had n't reappeared -- and he said that though for a moment he had thought Austria 's ultimatum would mean war , it was only just the first moment , but that he believed Servia would agree to everything , and the crisis would blow over in the way so many of them had blown over before . I asked him what would happen if it did n't ; I wanted things explained to me clearly , for positively I 'm not quite clear about which nations would be fighting ; and he said why talk about hateful things like war as long as there was n't a war . He said that as long as his chief left him peacefully at Koseritz and did n't send for him to Berlin I might be sure it was going to be just a local quarrel , for his being sent for would mean that all officers on leave were being sent for , and that the Government was at least uneasy . Then at four o'clock came the telegram . The Government is , accordingly , at least uneasy . I saw hardly any more of him . He got his things together with a quickness that astonished me , and he and the Graf , who was going to Berlin by the same train , motored to Stettin to catch the last express .
