midday
Well , I went , leaving them there together . I put on plain clothes instead of my uniform , and dropped my revolver into the pocket of my coat . Thus prepared , I slipped out and made my way on foot to the Konigstrasse . It was now long past midday , but many folks were at their dinner and the streets were not full . Two or three people recognized me , but I passed by almost unnoticed . There was no sign of stir or excitement , and the flags still floated high in the wind . Sapt had kept his secret ; the men of Strelsau thought still that their king lived and was among them .
