eleven o'clock
`` Or else , as I have the honour to repeat to Your Majesty , my resignation . '' Then , without waiting for the king 's answer the Count von Bismarck bowed low , and according to etiquette retired backwards from the king 's presence . The king said nothing to detain his minister , but before closing the door , that gentleman heard the bell rung loudly enough to rouse the whole palace . On the day following the events just narrated , a young man about twenty-five years of age arrived in Brunswick by the eleven o'clock train from Berlin . Leaving his luggage , which was labelled `` Hanover , '' in the station , he took a small knapsack on which were strapped a sketch-book and camp-stool , buckled on a cartridge belt , flung a baldric supporting a double-barrelled gun over his shoulder , and completed his toilet with a large grey felt hat . Altogether he appeared a sort of cross between sportsman and tourist . Accompanied by a beautiful jet-black spaniel he left the station and hailed an open carriage , whereupon the dog instantly justified his name of `` Frisk '' by springing joyously in , and installing himself on the front seat , while his master reclined on the back after the manner of one accustomed to do things comfortably .
