Furtively Stalking

One report: General Erich von Ludendorff, sporting the Iron Cross upon his bosom, dressed in a blue serge suit, badly in need of pressing, "stalked" into the corridors of the Reichstag. Party wrangling ceased. Reichstagers were awed by his lordly presence.

Another report: Erich entered the Reichstag "furtively." No one heeded him except his own Freedom Party, which cheered and referred to him as "one who has rendered great services to his country and will continue to do so."
