In this room Herr Aquanus himself was in the habit of appearing among his guests; in the other, opposite to the entrance, his wife held sway. On this day, the "Angulus," as the beautiful taproom was called, was but thinly occupied, for the sun had just set, though the lamps were already lighted.
"When that is accomplished, each individual will belong to himself, and then: why should I conceal it, nothing will keep me in Leyden." "And the organ? Your father?" asked Aquanus. "My brothers will remain here, snug in their own nest," answered Wilhelm. "But something urges, impels me "
With these words he raised the goblet, drained it at a single draught, made the nail test and replaced it on the table. "Well done!" cried the old man; and Herr Aquanus said: "He learned that at the University; studying makes people thirsty."
The men, to whom these words were addressed, were not the bravest of mortals, and not a syllable was heard, as Aquanus led the young wife into the tavern. The landlord's wife and daughter received her in their own rooms, which were separated from those occupied by guests of the inn, and begged her to make herself comfortable there until the crowd had dispersed.
The cattle-dealer did not finish his sentence, for Herr Aquanus had seen from the Angulus what was happening to the burgomaster's wife, came out of the tavern into the street, and stepped into the midst of the malcontents. "For shame!" he cried. "To assail a respectable lady in the street! Are these Leyden manners?
He drank to Meister Aquanus as eagerly and gaily as ever, exclaiming: "To old times and our friend, Georg von Dornburg." "With all my heart," replied the landlord. "We haven't heard of his bold deeds and expeditions for a long time." "Of course! The fermenting wine is now clear. Dornburg is in the English service, and four weeks ago I met him as a member of her British Majesty's navy in London.
All joined in the toast, and after the cheers had died away, Aquanus said: "Who would not gladly recall the exquisite Sunday of October third; but when I think of the misery that preceded it, my heart contracts, even at the present day." At these words Peter clasped Maria's hand, pressed it tenderly, and whispered: "And yet, on the saddest day of my life, I found my best treasure."
These rested in three-branched iron chandeliers, every portion of which, from the slender central shaft to the intricately-carved and twisted ornaments, had been carefully wrought by Aquanus with his own hand.
