Inspruck! a thousand recollections flash across us, as we pronounce the word! We were there at a memorable period; when the body of the hero of the Tyrol the brave, the simple-minded Anderl Hofer was removed from Mantua, where he so nobly met a patriot's death, to the capital of the country, which he had so gallantly defended.
Coming at last to a narrow cell, with a stone table, and heavy bolts on the old door, she felt sure this was poor Elfrida's prison, and called Anderl to come on with his candle, for the boy had lighted one, for his own comfort rather than hers. Her call was unanswered, and glancing back, she saw the candle placed on the ground, but no Anderl.
Now little Anderl, her guide, had a great fear of ghosts, and legions were said to haunt the ruins after nightfall, so when Amy rambled on deeper and deeper into the gloom the boy's courage ebbed away with every step; yet he was ashamed to own his fear, seeing that she had none.
On she hurried, but found no opening, and really frightened, stopped at last, calling the boy in a voice that woke a hundred echoes. But Anderl had fled home, thinking the lady would find her way back, and preferring to lose his kreutzers to seeing a ghost.
I am of Sand, in Passeyer. "Anderl Hofer was my schoolfellow; and these are my boys, whom I have brought to see all that remains of him. Oh! Sir! they did not conquer him, although the murderers shot him on the bastion; but, as he wrote to Pulher his friend and mine it was indeed 'in the name, and by the help of the Lord, that he undertook the voyage," We paced through the city sorrowfully.
