One little flaxen-headed fellow nestled closely to his regained protector, another kissed the count's hand, and two larger boys seized Philipp by the arm and tried to drag him away from his father, back into their circle. The abbot looked on at the tumult kindly, and bright tear-drops ran down into the old count's beard, for his heart was easily touched.
