Black bread and a coarse kind of country cheese were the only provisions obtainable, but of these eatables there was an ample supply, and, better than all to the jaded wayfarers, wine in abundance, of good quality, too, for Breckenheim stands little more than a league to the north of the celebrated Hochheim.
At Breckenheim Roland called a halt for midday refreshment, and he was compelled to wait nearly half an hour until the last straggler of his woebegone crew limped from the road on to the greensward in front of the Weinstaube which had been selected for a feeding-place.
While you were all sleeping on the grass, after our meal at Breckenheim, Roland asked us for the money." "You surely were not such idiots as to give it to him?" "He was our commander, and we both considered it right to do what he asked of us." "He said," put in Ebearhard, "that your suggestion about a finance committee was a good one, and that he had determined to be that committee.
I propose we leave the lot sleeping there, go to Wiesbaden for breakfast, and then trudge back to Frankfort. It would serve the brutes right." "No," said Greusel quietly; "I shall carry out Roland's instructions." "I thought you hadn't seen him this morning?" "Not a trace of him. You heard his orders at Breckenheim." "I don't remember. What were they?"
The mediæval townsman rarely trusted himself very far outside the city gates, and our enterprising marauders, whom to outward view seemed stalwart enough to stand great fatigue, proved so soft under the hot sun along the shadeless road that by the time they reached Breckenheim, barely six leagues from Frankfort, there was a mopping of brows and a general feeling that the limit of endurance had been reached.
"You think he went that way?" "I did, until you persuaded me out of it." "Again I ask what could be his object?" "It seems to me that this mutiny made a greater impression on his mind than I had supposed. After all, he is not one of us, and never has been. You yourself pointed that out when we were talking of him at Breckenheim.
