On this same day six Brothers made their profession and were invested with the habit of the Order of Canons Regular, who observe the rule of Augustine, the glorious Bishop and Father of our Order. The names of these are as followeth: Brother Henry of Huxaria, a Priest. Brother Werner of Lochem, in Geldria, the first Prior of the house there.
"I had sooner," said Helena, "that Werner were dead or maimed for life than that he should not make a career. One's brother must not, cannot be a failure." And the pastor bowed and exclaimed, "That is well and finely said. That is full of pride, of the true German patrician pride." Helena, you see, forgot, as Germans sometimes do, not to be natural.
"Only this is the same dreadful manager who dragged us into his picture yesterday." "I beg your pardon," said Mr. Werner; "I'm not a manager; I'm merely what is called in our profession a 'producer, or a 'stage director." "Well, you're the man, anyhow," asserted Patsy. "So what have you to say for yourself, sir?" "If you were annoyed, I humbly apologize," he returned.
What was he afraid of now? But this incomprehensible fear was so foreign to Musya's soul that she ceased searching for the cause of it and suddenly she was seized with a desperate desire to see Seryozha Golovin, to laugh with him.

Schooled by Tell, he informed him that his father was engaged in preparing vengeance for the tyrant's crime, being at that moment with Werner Stauffacher concerting proper measures of resistance.

"Jack Gordon plays Jack Daring, the hero the handsome young chap who runs down the steps and encounters the butler and the maid in the hall just outside the library " "Wasn't it his face in the French windows of the library at the same time?" Kennedy asked. "Wasn't he the murderer of the father, also?" "No!"
Werner sends word that he will furnish the supper promptly and satisfactorily, and will deliver here to-night twenty- four bottles of his best champagne, three large pates de foie gras, two hundred oysters, etc., but only on one condition." "What! the fellow actually dares to impose conditions?" exclaimed Gentz, indignantly. "What is it he asks?"
This day was a day of terror to Werner, for on it he lost in the same year his mother and his most intimate friend. He therefore in the play invests the day with a fatal significance, and on it a malignant fate has especial power over the fortunes of the persons of the drama; there is also a fatal requisite and a general atmosphere of fatalism.
'Now, continued Guy, 'to mount him is the thing; and then after the wolves of Werner as fast as horse-flesh can carry us. No questions! Bound, are you? And what am I? But this is life and death, lad!

Some instinct made him wish to move things beyond the eyes of the camp. For a moment the men hesitated, then, pushed into the lead, Werner led the way inside.
