e, Hymn, all as on Sunday; this is done by 7, and the
Servants go again.

"From 7 till 9 Duhan takes him on History; at 9 comes Noltenius [a
sublime Clerical Gentleman from Berlin] with the Christian Religion,
till a quarter to 11. Then Fritz rapidly (GESCHWIND) washes his face
with water, hands with soap-and-water; clean shirt; powders, and puts
on his coat;--about 11 comes to the King. Stays with the King till
2,"--perhaps promenading a little; dining always at Noon; after which
Majesty is apt to be slumberous, and light amusements are over.

"Directly at 2, he goes back to his room. Duhan is there, ready;
takes him upon the Maps and Geography, from 2 to 3,--giving account
[gradually!] of all the European Kingdoms; their strength and weakness;
size, riches and poverty of their towns. From 3 to 4, Duhan treats of
Morality (_soll die Moral tractiren _). From 4 to 5, Duhan shall write
German Letters with him, and see that he gets a good STYLUM [which he
never in the least did]. About 5, Fritz shall wash his hands, and go to
the King;--ride out; divert himself, in the air and not in his room; and
do what he likes, if it is not against God."

There, then, is a Sunday, and there is one Weekday; which latter may
serve for all the other five:--though they are strictly specified in
the royal monograph, and every hour of them marked out: How, and at what
points of time, besides this of HISTORY, of MORALITY, and WRITING
IN GERMAN, of Maps and GEOGRAPHY with the strength and weakness of
Kingdoms, you are to take up ARITHMETIC more than once; WRITING OF
FRENCH LETTERS, so as to acquire a good STYLUM: in what nook you
may intercalate "a little getting by heart of something, in order to
strengthen the memory;" how instead of Noltenius, Panzendorf (another
sublime Reverend Gentleman from Berlin, who comes out express) gives
the clerical drill on Tuesday morning;--with which two onslaughts, of
an hour-and-half each, the Clerical Gentlemen seem to withdraw for the
week, and we hear no more of them till Monday and Tuesday come round
again.

On Wednesday we are happy to observe a liberal slice of holiday come in.
At half-past 9, having done his HISTORY, and "got something by heart
to strengthen the memory [very little, it is to be feared], Fritz shall
rapidly dress himself, and come to the King. And the rest of the day
belongs to little Fritz (_gehort vor Fritzchen_)." On Saturday, too,
there is some fair chance of half-holiday:--
