Georg started and answered hastily: "Pledge? Oh! yes. Pledge. I pledge you, Colonel!"
With a hasty movement she raised her head, looked steadily into the young man's handsome face and said with dignity: "You see only the exterior, Junker von Dornburg; three years have made many changes within."

"Once, only once, I will, I must say to you, that I love you, that life and happiness, peace and honor " "Not one word more, Junker von Dornburg. There is our house. You are our guest, and if you address a single word like the last ones to your friend's wife " "Maria, Maria oh, don't touch the knocker.

"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.

"From Herr von Warmond?" asked Nicolas eagerly. "Tell me! what brings you here, and who are you?" "One who is fighting for your liberty, a German, Georg von Dornburg." "Oh, wait here, I entreat you.
The travellers were received at the Hohenort Gate by Captain Van Duivenvoorde, preceded by an old sergeant, carrying a lantern, who opened the gate. The captain embraced his brave, beloved comrade, Dornburg; a few farewell words and god-speeds echoed softly from the fortification walls, and the trio stepped forth into the open country.
