Herr Berthold had told his wife all this soon after his return, and added, with much admiration of the valiant fellow's steadfastness, that Biberli, Sir Heinz Schorlin's servant, had again been subjected to an examination by torture and was racked far more severely than justice could approve.
After disclosing to them his desire to allow the judges to decide and, should the verdict go against Biberli, release him from punishment by a pardon, both undertook to justify the absence of the accused from the trial. The wise caution with which the Emperor Rudolph avoided interfering with the rights of the Honourable Council afforded old Herr Berthold Vorchtel great satisfaction.
Berthold forced his way into the house, and sat down near the fire, laying his portmanteau near him. The family were silent, and looked distressed. But the woman set before him a meal. "Let us sing," said the collier at last. He turned to a table where were musical glasses, and began to play. How sweet and delicate, like an angel's strain, the music was!
He then launched off the shoulder a mighty down-fling, calmly, watching it strike the prisoner to earth, like an ox under the hammer. 'A hit! said he, and smoothed his wrist. Farina knelt by the body, and lifted the head on his breast. 'Berthold! Berthold! he cried; 'no further harm shall hap to you, man! Speak! 'You ken the scapegrace? said Guy, sauntering up.
"I know the roads thoroughly, for as soon as the Spaniards had retired, feeling like a bird set free I scoured over the whole country, and amused myself in making a plan of them." "As Berthold knows the country so well, surely it will lessen the risk you would have to run alone if you will take him with you," observed Jaqueline.
On the shores of the lake the brotherhood descried a body of youths, whom they hailed, and were welcomed to companionship. 'Where's Berthold? asked Dietrich. He was not present. 'The more glory for us, then, Dietrich said. It was here seriously put to the captain, whether they should not halt at the abbey, and reflect, seeing that great work was in prospect.
He tried to enter Cunigonde Schmidt's chamber, and knocked down her pot of lilies: for which Berthold Schmidt knocked him down, and our friend here, out of good fellowship, knocked down Berthold. However, the chief offender is marched off to prison by your trusty guard, and there let him cool himself.
She was the daughter of Berthold, Marquis of Istria, whom, about 1180, the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa had made Duke of Moravia. According to all contemporary chronicles, Agnes was not only beautiful, but charming; she made a great impression at the court of France; and Philip Augustus, after his marriage with her in June, 1196, became infatuated with her.
Herr Berthold, smiling sadly, watched the conduct of the masterless servants; then raising his cap, bowed with the utmost respect to the disconcerted revellers, and said courteously, "I hope it will agree with you all." The startled group looked sheepishly at one another.
Berthold, like Mendel, the founder of genetics, was a great pioneer. But there was no personage, no person of consequence, with no patronage by anyone of consequence, no wife or kin, to push him, and no audience to stimulate him. His poor four little pages of a report, published ten years before Darwin's "Origin of Species," attracted not the slightest notice.
