The concentrated activity which had begun at the Emperor's

headquarters in the morning and had started the whole movement

that followed was like the first movement of the main wheel of a

large tower clock. One wheel slowly moved, another was set in

motion, and a third, and wheels began to revolve faster and

faster, levers and cogwheels to work, chimes to play, figures to

pop out, and the hands to advance with regular motion as a result

of all that activity.
