Geschichte vom Bruch im Kabinett der Empress [Queen Anne] über der Frage der Fortführung des Krieges. Arlus [Harley] teilt bei ihm eingehende, annehmbare Friedensangebote Odolphus [Godolphin] und Fortunatus [Marlborough] mit, die in Eigeninteresse an der Fortführung des Krieges sogleich ablehnen. Er wendet sich an die Königin doch auch Hautisara [Haughty Zarah, die Duchess of Marlborough] und Fortunatus tun dies; letztere mit dem Erfolg, daß Arlus als offensichtlich gegen die anderen Minister Intrigierender untragbar wird. Die Ironie des Erzählers besteht in expliziten Parteinahmen, Glanzstellen Seite 16-26: die Dialoge mit der Königin. (German)

Story of the break in the Empress's [Queen Anne's] cabinet over the question of continuing the war. Arlus [Harley] communicates the acceptable peace offers he receives to Odolphus [Godolphin] and Fortunatus [Marlborough], who immediately reject them out of their own interest in continuing the war. He addresses the queen but Hautisara [Haughty Zarah, the Duchess of Marlborough] and Fortunatus also do so; the latter with the result that Arlus becomes intolerable as someone who is obviously scheming against the other ministers. The narrator's irony consists in explicit partisanship, highlights pages 16-26: the dialogues with the queen. (English)
