"'The Archbishops from their revenues allot to him seven hundred thalers a month, in addition to his maintenance. It is impossible for him to escape from this stronghold unaided, and as the Emperor takes no interest in the matter, and the Empress has given her consent, he is like to be an inmate of Ehrenfels during the pleasure of the Archbishops, who doubtless will not elect him to the throne in succession unless he proves compliant to their wishes. The Prince being a young man of no particular force of character'" (the merchant paused in his reading, and looked across at his vis-
Prince Roland cannot be liberated from Ehrenfels without an order signed by Mayence, Treves, and myself. I alone have not the power to encompass his freedom, and Mayence is equally powerless although he is owner of the Castle. Some scoundrel is walking the streets of Frankfort pretending to be Roland." "In that case, my Lord, he would not deny his identity when accosted on the bridge."
On entering the Castle of Ehrenfels in state, they proceeded to the large hall of the knights, and seated themselves in three equal chairs that were set along the solid table.
A strange exultation filled him at the prospect, and all thought of other things vanished from his mind. Leaving the parchments on the table in the knights' hall, where he had examined them, he mounted to the battlements to enjoy the fresh breeze that, no matter how warm the day, blows round the towers of Ehrenfels.
This meekness on their part seems to me more dangerous than last night's flurry. I think they will demand from you a knowledge of what has been done with the gold. Have you decided upon your answer?" "Yes; it is their right to know, so I shall tell them the truth. By this time Kruger is on his way somewhere between Ehrenfels and Wiesbaden.
The courteous Adalbert was stricken with remorse, and murmured profuse apologies to his guest. You must think but poorly of my hospitality, said he; in my loyalty I forgot my duty as a host. It is no matter, said Hatto, still laughing. But since we have come but a little way, would it not be better to return to Ehrenfels and breakfast? You are young and strong, but I
"How did you escape from Ehrenfels, and why have you come here? Surely you know the Palace will be the first place searched for you?" "There will be no search, mother. Take my word for it that no one is aware of my absence from Ehrenfels but the custodian, and for the best of reasons he dare not say a word. Do not be alarmed, I beg of you.
Indeed, should I prosper, I hope your boat will set its nose southward for the return journey some distance this side of Coblentz." The merchant gazed up at him in astonishment. "Your design is impossible. There is no sale for cloth nearer than Coblentz. Your remarks prove you unacquainted with the river." "I have walked every foot of both sides of the river between Ehrenfels and Bonn.
"You pass through Frankfort, I doubt not, but your goal is a certain small room in the neighboring suburb of Sachsenhausen, and he whom you seek is a youth of about your own age, named Roland. You travel on the behest of your father, who was much agonized in mind when you left him, and he, I take it, is custodian of Ehrenfels Castle."
This misguided effort caused the three Archbishops to arrest Prince Roland, the Emperor's only son, and incarcerate him in Ehrenfels, a strong castle on the Rhine belonging to the Archbishop of Mayence, who was thus made custodian of the young man, and responsible to his brother prelates of Cologne and Treves for the safe-keeping of the Prince.
