When I think of that , I have no patience with Burnamy . '' `` I am going to ask the landlord about him , now he 's got rid of his highhotes , '' said Mrs. March . They went home to their hotel for their midday dinner , and to the comfort of having it nearly all to themselves . Prince Leopold had risen early , like all the hard-working potentates of the continent , and got away to the manoeuvres somewhere at six o'clock ; the decorations had been removed , and the court-yard where the hired coach and pair of the prince had rolled in the evening before had only a few majestic ducks waddling about in it and quacking together , indifferent to the presence of a yellow mail-wagon , on which the driver had been apparently dozing till the hour of noon should sound . He sat there immovable , but at the last stroke of the clock he woke up and drove vigorously away to the station . The dining-room which they had been kept out of by the prince the night before was not such as to embitter the sense of their wrong by its splendor . After all , the tastes of royalty must be simple , if the prince might have gone to the Schloss and had chosen rather to stay at this modest hotel ; but perhaps the Schloss was reserved for more immediate royalty than the brothers of prince-regents ; and in that case he could not have done better than dine at the Golden Star .
