Do I err or not, in thinking that the name of Glipper no longer pleases you, dear Junker?" "No, Father Damianus! You are right, a thousand times right. It is no sin, to desire a free Holland." "Who told you it was one?" "Canon Bermont and our chaplain." "Then we are of a different opinion concerning this temporal matter. Give to God the things that are God's, and remain where the Lord placed you.
Jan Mulder had hastily retreated among his companions, and instead of coming forward and giving his name, called: "Look for the hat-fuller, Glipper! We'll play blindman's buff." The youth, frantic with rage, repeated his question. When, instead of any other answer, the boys entered into Jan Mulder's jest, shouting gaily: "Yes, play blind-man's buff! Look for the hat-fuller.
Let me go, Wilhelm, for this Glipper crew " "Wait a little while, there is only room for one on the ladder," said the musician, holding out his hand to Belotti to guide him from the last rung into his room. "Spaniards and the allies of Spain," muttered the fencing-master, opened the door, and called while descending the ladder: "I'll wait down below till the air is pure again."
After a short struggle, the burgomaster's son, inferior in strength and age to his opponent, lay extended on the ground; but the other lads, who had not ceased shouting, "Glipper, Glipper," seized the young noble, who was kneeling on his vanquished foe. Nicolas struggled bravely, but his enemies' superior power was too great.
"Herr Matanesse Van Wibisma, the Glipper, is in the entry and wants to speak to you." "Show him up," said the burgomaster reluctantly. When again alone with his wife, he asked hastily "Will you be indulgent and help me?" She nodded assent, trying to smile.
"Out of my way!" said the youth in a haughty, resolute tone, trying to push Mulder aside with the back of his hand. "Hands off, Glipper!" cried the school-boys, raising their clenched hands threateningly. "Then let me alone," replied Wibisma, "I want no quarrel, least of all with you." "Why not with us?" asked Adrian Van der Werff, irritated by the supercilious, arrogant tone of the last words.
The mother, who had at first refused to extend her love for her neighbor to the young Glipper girl, now found it hard to be deprived of the opportunity to do a good work, and gave expression to these feelings in the sturdy fashion peculiar to her. Belotti was standing in the entry, no longer attired in the silk hose and satin-bordered cloth garments of the steward, but in a plain burgher dress.

But I I? Nobody would willingly allow himself to be struck in the face, yet so surely as my father was a brave man, even the worst insult could be more easily borne, than the feeling of being held in too slight esteem to be able to offer an affront. You see, Wilhelm, when the Glipper looked past me " "Your beard lost its calmness." "It's all very well for you to jest, you don't know "
Come, little Glipper, begin." Nicolas could contain himself no longer, but shouted furiously to the laughing throng: "Cowardly rabble!" Scarcely had the words been uttered, when Paul Van Swieten raised his grammar, bound in hog-skin, and hurled it at Wibisma's breast. Other books followed, amid loud outcries, striking him on the legs and shoulders.
