5550Must poor Biberli pay for his resolute fidelity with his life?

5558And what is my name-- your lord Baron and potent Captain?
5558The rats have made shoes of your boots and have eaten the tops, unless it was the mice? 5558 The tops?"
5558Yours? 5558 Yours?"
5558And again, Where are the tops?"
5558And he likewise cried to the rogue:"Where are the tops?"
5558And was his mind now clear enough to enable him to remember how great a sum was demanded for ransom?

5558Would any man have dreamed of such a thing in our young days, Master Cousin?
5558and I-- oh, what were my words?....
5547And you think this happened to the very knight who took the flowers yonder?
5547Eva?
5547The miracle?
5547Well?
5547What Guelph? 5547 And he for whom yonder child- angel''s heart yearns-- would he not be a fool to prefer a Will- o''-the- wisp like me? 5547 And the dead woman''s last words? 5547 And what was the necessity? 5547 But, after her last conversation, must not her mother have died in the belief that she would not give up her love? 5547 Could she hope to we d the man for whom Heaven had performed such a miracle? 5547 Did you arrange it?
5547Els summoned up her courage and asked:"And we-- are we nothing to you, father?"
5547How could she, the simple maiden whom he had assured of his love, ever have been able to give him up?
5547It is said that they also expected reinforcements from the Main, in order that the right to the road----""Gossip, or positive news?"
5547Was not Heinz forcing her to enter into rivalry with one the most distant comparison with whom meant defeat?

5547What do they care for others?
5547What is the use of a house filled with fine furniture when the heart is so full of sorrow?
5547Will you dismount, child, and let Schorlin quiet the bay?"
5547You, too, Eva, I know, stand hesitating at the crossing of two paths-- which is the right one?
5547interrupted the monk again, this time raising his hands imploringly; but Heinz, paying no heed, exclaimed hoarsely:"Where did you get this news?"
5546And whom do you serve?
5546And you permit this insult to be offered to your grandmother?
5546Right?
5546And now?
5546And she?
5546And what had Schorlin alleged in justification?
5546And what price did the insolent fellow demand for the restored estate and the right to brand him as a slanderer?
5546But if she had not come to the Swiss from one of the Es, what proof did he, Seitz, possess of the guilt of his brother- in- law''s bride?
5546But what was this?
5546But who will re build the ancient castle?
5546Can it be imagined?
5546Did his over- excited imagination make him hear a death knell pealing for his honour and his hopes, which must be borne to their grave?
5546Else what was the meaning of this unexampled good luck at the gaming table?

5546How should he succeed in making Wolff understand that his beloved Els had wronged him if the maid was to play no part in proving it?
5546On the highway, do you mean?"
5546The old man meant kindly, but how could he renounce the trade of arms, for which he was reared and which he loved?
5546Was he deluding himself?
5546Was it true that the Eysvogel firm had been placed in a very critical situation by the loss of great trains of merchandise?
5546What could she want with the Swiss?
5546What did this mean?
5546What had befallen the happy- hearted fellow?
5546What was the meaning of the scene?
5546What would not his enemy, who was in such high favour with the Emperor, do to compass his destruction?
5546Who will restore our uncle?
5546Why had he pursued this course?
5546Would not Eva feel the same when she learned what had befallen him?
5546Yet was he really so base that it would have been a disgrace for his darlings to resemble him?
5546Yet was not any one who found a maiden alone at night with this man justified in doubting her virtue?
5546and when could Seitz begin to cancel his debts?
5549And Biberli?
5549And the children?
5549And what is that?
5549Katterle?
5549Poor Biberli?
5549The Emperor?
5549Well?
5549What, in the name of all the saints, have we to do with Altrosen? 5549 Who doubts it?"
5549And Boemund Altrosen, who stood opposite to her, leaning against one of the pillars which supported the arched ceiling of the room, how came he here?
5549And I-- What stings and blows has Fate spared me?"
5549At St. Linhard, Boemund Altrosen, who walked beside it, asked the question,"Then I may hope, Countess?
5549But what did this mean?
5549But when the disappointed Minorite released her hands she clasped his thin one, saying modestly:"How could I be worthy of so sublime a promise?
5549But where is the girl?
5549Can there be in the worst hell anything more horrible than what has just been witnessed here?
5549Do you know, dear, what pleases the most in all this?"
5549Had her strength failed, and was Cordula awaiting their return after putting her more delicate friend to bed?
5549How could an animal supply the place of beloved human beings?
5549I really may?"
5549If a Vorkler and her companions repeat the calumny, who can wonder?
5549She disliked the old countess-- but with whom would not the self- reliant woman, conscious of her good intentions, have dared to cope?
5549She had become very modest in regard to herself, why should she wake to new life the arrogance now hushed in Eva''s breast?
5549Then, with a faint sigh, he added:"Why should I torture you with these horrors?
5549We are not permitted to shelter her here any longer, and if we turn her out--""What is the matter with the woman?"
5549What is the use of being the wife of the imperial magistrate, if a Nuremberg drawbridge can not be raised for me even after sunset?
5549When a swarm of hornets attacks a horse, and it rears, who wonders?
5549When it moved forward, swaying from side to side, Cordula pointed to the curtained windows, and said:"Shameful, is n''t it?
5555And do you tell me that your heart ever throbbed with true love for him?
5555Have you not read of the love of which the Scripture speaketh? 5555 Is it so?"
5555Never?
5555And the Magister, I conceive, was to be the first to whom you proposed to be a willing sacrifice, let it cost you what it may?
5555And what was it that snatched her so early away but that she pined for your son?
5555And when Ann cried:"How can you even ask such a question?"
5555Are you so dull as not to feel this?"
5555But how long can that last?
5555Can I, whom he has flung into the dust, seek to go after him?
5555Did he not forsake father and mother to follow after a fair face?"
5555Have you not gladly approved his saying that the leech should never despair so long as the sick man''s heart still throbs?
5555How is it that this matter has come about?
5555Must not a lover who can barter away his love for filthy lucre be base indeed?
5555My aunt went on:"Then you did love him?
5555Nor were my eyes dry, nor even those of that strong- willed dame, and when, at the end, I said:"Well, Aunt?"
5555One woman will ride through the snow to Nuremberg for the sake of a chat with another, and who turns his head to look at her?
5555That is how matters stand?"
5555Then I asked him whether he had in truth rather have found her in woe and grief, and would fain have had her young days saddened for love of him?
5555Was not Herdegen pledged to marry Ann?"
5555What great matter is it after all?
5555What should come of it all?
5555When he came back to us Ursula, who was aggrieved by the looks of displeasure she met on all sides, cried out:"Back already, Sir Junker?
5555Would it beseem an honest and shamefaced maid if I called him back to me?
5555Would''st thou but spoil our pleasure?
5555You knew Riklein, the spinster, whom folks called the night- spinster; and was not she a right loving and cheerful soul?
5555or"How shall all this end?"
5559And if the little one should come, after the wife has told her beads till her fingers are sore, what will the waiting babe turn out?
5559And that?
5559And what had he not gone through?
5559And wherefor had Ann not come to me?
5559But a terrible oath kept him far away, and where in the wide world might he be found?
5559But is that an end of Patience?
5559But she?
5559But to what end touch the wound which to this day is scarce healed?
5559But whence might I at that day procure the means to succor him?
5559But where is the envoy who would dare so much?
5559For what reason or matter had she sent for me at so late an hour?
5559How was she able to refrain herself as she beheld the changed countenance of her lover, and to be mistress of her horror and dismay?
5559I ask you-- what, save to act on our first and only wise intent?
5559In what form had the misfortune come upon us which Abenberger had read in the stars?
5559Must it ever creep in where true love hath found a nest?
5559None in Nuremberg might compare with these two for manly dignity and womanly beauty, and was that sickly, bent horseman by the ditch worthy of them?
5559Now what do you say?
5559Others had better luck; yet if the priest had we d us, would that have made an end of Patience?
5559That is where the blue brand- mark was set?
5559Was she then afraid to meet me with the message of woe which my lord Cardinal had perchance received from Cairo through his chaplains there?
5559What is it?-- What of Gotz?
5559What then is left to us-- to Ann and me, Grandmother?
5559What then was now the matter?
5559What will she do; how will she demean her; is she aware of his presence?
5559Will it be a boy or a maid?
5559Will the storks bring her a babe or no?
5559Would Ann, who had rejected many a lordly suitor, be as sweet as of yore to that breathless creature?
5559You have seen your uncle, child, and can tell me wherefor he is gone forth?"
5545And the knight?
5545And you?
5545Even without the ring?
5545For the black?
5545From the Duke of Pomerania, you think?
5545How could you know that?
5545How does it happen that you neither weep nor even hang your head after all the sorrow which last night brought you?
5545Is there any disgrace in that? 5545 The four Fs?"
5545Then love has conquered you also?
5545Then you want to have two ardent admirers the less?
5545Well?
5545What, in the name of all the saints?
5545Why should I deny that I am fond of you? 5545 After he had briefly greeted his niece and she had enquired what had befallen the Vorchtels, he asked anxiously:Then you know nothing yet?
5545And Els-- has it been kept from her, too?"
5545And Wolff Where is he hiding?
5545And shall I tell you something?
5545But except these, who will ask about the reckless countess?
5545Did the girl, who ventured upon so many things which ill- beseemed a modest maiden, intend to join the men?
5545Do you wish to empty the cup now?"
5545Do you wish to know what this has to do with the fire?
5545Els helped the countess turn on her pillows, and as in doing so she touched her arm, the sufferer cried angrily:"Who cares what hurts me?
5545Must my noble birth debar me from being numbered among those who help their neighbours so far as lies in their power?
5545Must not anxiety for her bring him hither, if he learned how near her house the fire was burning?
5545My father?
5545Or had Heinz, his friend, sent him to watch over her while he was possibly detained by the Emperor?
5545Shall I guess aright in believing that the other disasters which have overtaken you are connected with the waggon trains Wolff so anxiously expected?"
5545Was she stealing away from fear of punishment?
5545What could have caused him so much sorrow?
5545What do I care for the prey?
5545What do you know of a girl like me?
5545What do you think of that?
5545What had so changed the girl in these few hours?
5545What has happened?"
5545What must the knight, who but yesterday, she knew, had looked up to her as to a saint, think of her now?
5545What right had Els to distrust him?
5545What was his Els doing at this hour among these gentlemen, all of whom were strangers?
5545What, in the name of all the saints, has happened that can plunge my Els into misery and shame?"
5545Where could a girl be found who, setting aside Cordula''s kind heart, would be so great a contrast to my mother in every respect?"
5545Where did all these withered leaves come from in the month of June?
5545Where was she going at this hour?
5545Which of the four Fs did Countess Cordula von Montfort ever lack?"
5545Why?
5545With whom was she talking?
5545and at the risk of making you vain, I will betray----""Well?"
5544And you did so as easily as if it were a short fast after an abundant meal?
5544And your feathers were generously plucked?
5544But I would like to ask, sir, what induced you to choose the courtyard of this house to enjoy it?
5544But how in the world could it happen that this well- guarded fortress surrendered to you after so short a resistance?
5544Induced?
5544Moreover, I shall soon need a T and an S embroidered on my own doublet, for----Why do n''t they bring the light? 5544 Schorlin?"
5544Shall I say nothing to Ursel?
5544What do you intend to do?
5544Why, father,interrupted Eva reproachfully,"do not our lovers seem really created for each other?"
5544Will the Eysvogels be there too?
5544A son of the rich merchant where the Duke of Gulich found quarters?"
5544And now?
5544And what was this?
5544But her colour?
5544Did you, a rich man''s son, never try what the dice would do for you?"
5544Does n''t it seem like a miracle that not one of the many Ortlieb and Montfort servants crossed your path?
5544Had Eva''s aversion to the countess been justified, and was she about to take advantage of her unpleasant position to jeer at her?
5544Had she died?
5544He desired to see my face?
5544He wanted to speak to me in person, to confess I know not what?
5544How could we succeed in making a fair appearance at court and in the tournament if it were not for the dice?
5544How late was it?
5544If the worst should befall, how would his family submit to deprivation, perhaps even to penury?
5544Then, turning to Els, she asked with no less animation:"And you, my fair maid and very strict housemate, who has won the wager now?
5544This closed the chronicle, Herr-- what shall I call you?"
5544Was her wandering soul approaching him to drive him from the threshold of the house which hid her endangered child?
5544Was it a restless spirit risen from its grave at the midnight hour, which must be close at hand?
5544Was it the night breeze that almost imperceptibly raised and lowered it, or was her own dear self concealed behind it?
5544What cares had he?
5544What did the young, joyous- hearted fellow who was wooing Eva know of such cares?
5544What if she were still standing at the door of the house to wait for Biberli?
5544What is your lady''s name?"
5544What was it?
5544What was the matter with her?
5544What, save my lady''s love, is more to me than our holy faith?
5544Where was he now?
5544Who entreated you to spare her fair fame?
5544Who knows what modest wish was transformed in your mouth to so unprecedented a demand?
5544Why should I deprive honest fellows who had less?"
5544Why should not this vision become a reality?
5544Would she have rebuffed him so ungraciously with her lips as with the pen?
5544Would you exchange the purest and loftiest things for what tomorrow will fill you with grief and loathing?"
