Es ist auf der Albrechtsstrae, jener Verkehrsader der Residenz, die den Albrechtsplatz und das Alte Schlo mit der Kaserne der Gardefusiliere verbindet um Mittag, wochentags, zu einer gleichgultigen Jahreszeit. Das Wetter ist maig gut, indifferent. Es regnet nicht, aber der Himmel ist auch nicht klar; er ist gleichmaig weigrau, gewohnlich, unfestlich, und die Strae liegt in einer stumpfen und nuchternen Beleuchtung, die alles Geheimnisvolle, jede Absonderlichkeit der Stimmung ausschliet. Es herrscht ein Verkehr von mittlerer Regsamkeit, ohne viel Larm und Gedrange, entsprechend dem nicht sehr geschaftigen Charakter der Stadt. Trambahnwagen gleiten dahin, ein paar Droschken rollen vorbei, auf den Burgersteigen bewegt sich Einwohnerschaft, farbloses Volk, Passanten, Publikum, Leute. Zwei Offiziere, die Hande in den Schragtaschen ihrer grauen Paletots, kommen einander entgegen: ein General und ein Leutnant. Der General nahert sich von der Schlo-, der Leutnant von der Kasernenseite her. Der Leutnant ist blutjung, ein Milchbart, ein halbes Kind.
