But he raised his arm imperatively; the band ceased playing immediately, and the cheers died away on the lips of the students, who bowed respectfully to the tall, imposing form of the Barbone. "Hush, hush," said Andreas, gravely; "pray! No cheers, no music!
"And Andreas Hofer the Barbone, is the other commissioner, is he not? I will remember it in case we should meet again." "You will then take your revenge; that is quite natural. But to-day WE take our revenge for the long oppressions and insults which we have endured at the hands of the French. Come, general, let us ride to Innspruck."
"No," he said, "my friends and countrymen know me by my beard, and the Barbone is a welcome guest in the Italian Tyrol.

If you stay here, the Bavarians will not rest until they have taken you prisoner until their hated enemy, the formidable Barbone, has fallen into their hands.
But I should like to know where my countryman with the horses and wine is. He insisted on seeing me, sent for me, and does not come now." "But, Andy, do you not yet know that it was I who sent for you?" asked Hormayr. "Why, it was only a stratagem of mine to get the Barbone out of the theatre and take him away from here." "But why do you want to take me away from here?
