Take my word, Quib, there's nothing in it," insisted Gottlieb warmly. "For instance, there is the crime against usury a very foolish law to be sure, but there it is. No one can commit usury unless some one else participates in the offense by paying the unlawful interest; but the usurer does not escape on that account. Why, then, should the false pretender in our case?"
How much, too, I have also suffered on account of his master, Sir Heinz Schorlin again in connection with you, you lovely disturber of the peace! To say nothing of the rest, your own father brings a charge against him. The accusation is made in a letter which Meister Gottlieb, our protonotary, was to withhold by Herr Ortlieb's desire, but through a welcome accident it fell into my hands.
At length the inmates of the cottage and their guest lay down to rest on their rough couches, and angels looked down from heaven, rejoicing at what they there saw and heard. Gottlieb Spena was much the better for his day's rest, and the following morning set out with old Moretz and his grandson on their weekly journey, when they went into the neighbouring town to dispose of their fagots.
So rank me no hero, fair Mistress Margarita, though the temptation to seem one in such sweet eyes was beginning to lead me astray. And now, as to our business in the streets at this hour, believe the best of us. 'I will! I do! said Margarita. 'Lisbeth! Lisbeth! called Gottlieb. 'Breakfast, little sister! our champion is starving.
As for me, my timber and stuffs must come down stream, and are too good for the nixen under Rhine, or think you I would acknowledge him with a toll, the hell-dog? Thunder and lightning! if old scores could be rubbed out on his hide! Gottlieb whirled a thong-lashing arm in air, and groaned of law and justice. What were they coming to!
"Again wise and cautious, Gottlieb, for had he known it, he would have risen from his deathbed, taken down his two-handed sword from the wall, and struck his last blow in defence of the right against tyranny." "Indeed, my Lord, under danger of your censure, I venture to say that you do not yet know the cause of the quarrel into which you design to precipitate yourself.
Remembering his severe words in condemnation of her casual reference to these supernatural beings, it was with some hesitation that she replied that she did. Still more to her surprise, Gottlieb turned away from her hurriedly, yet not so hurriedly but that she saw a strange, scared look upon his face, and in a low and trembling voice replied: "And so do I!"
What is the use of being the wife of the imperial magistrate, if a Nuremberg drawbridge cannot be raised for me even after sunset? If the petition has already gone, I must see Meister Gottlieb. True, it was not to be sent until to-morrow, but there is nothing of which we are more glad to rid ourselves than the disagreeable transactions from which we shrink.
Margarita knew the voice of the stranger before she had opened the door, and on presenting herself, the hero gave her a guardian-like salute. 'One may see, he said, 'that it requires better men than those of Werner to drive away the rose from that cheek. Gottlieb pressed the rosy cheek to his shoulder and patted her. 'What do you think, Grete?
'And when I thought that I was lost I found that I was saved, And I was borne through blessed clouds, Where the banners of bliss were waved. 'And so you think you, too, may fall in, love with Devils' sons, girl? was Aunt Lisbeth's comment. 'Do look at Lisbeth's Dragon, little Heart! it's so like! said Margarita to her father. Old Gottlieb twitted his hose, and chuckled.
