Rascals! roared the Baron, turning on his men, and out poured a mud- spring of filthy oaths and threats, which caused Henker Rothhals, who had opened his eyes, to close them again, as if he had already gone to the place of heat. 'Only lend me thy staff, friend, cried Werner. 'Not I! thwack 'em with your own wood, replied the stranger, and fell back a leg.
Look up there Ah, it's gone now; but where's the man sitting this side saw it not? The Baron made one spring, and stood on the board. 'Now! will any rascal here please to say so? Something in the cruel hang of his threatening hatchet jaw silenced many in the act of confirming the assertion. 'Stand out, Henker Rotthals !
"Zum Henker diese Russen!" * muttered a German. * "Hang these Russians!" Several wounded men passed along the road, and words of abuse, screams, and groans mingled in a general hubbub, then the firing died down. Rostov learned later that Russian and Austrian soldiers had been firing at one another. "My God! What does it all mean?" thought he.
'A flask or two of scent amongst them would not be amiss, he remarked; 'I would I had a casting bottle. 'Stand on your guard, but do not draw, cried Saxon. 'What the henker hath come over the chaw-bacons? They mean mischief. How now, friends, why this uproar? This question instead of allaying the tumult appeared to make it tenfold worse.
The assault on the Thier was all in the play, and a visible interference of fortune in favour of Henker Rothhals.

'No small amount, either, said Buyse; 'a brace of gallons at the least. Well, be it so. Do you accept the contest? 'I shall do what I may, I answered, 'though I can scarce hope to strike as heavy a blow as so old and tried a soldier. 'Henker take your compliments, he cried gruffly. 'It was with sweet words that you did coax my fingers into that fool-catcher of yours.
At the first sound of a hoof, Henker Rothhals seized the rider's bridle-rein, and roared: 'Fair play for a fair bet! leave all to the Thier! The Thier, when he had recovered from his amazement, sought for old Gottlieb to give him a back-hit, as Margarita foresaw that he would.
Od's feet, man, if ye object to me, what the henker would ye think of some whom I have known? However, let that pass. It is time that we were at the wars, for our good swords will not bide in their scabbards. "The trenchant blade, Toledo trusty, For want of fighting was grown rusty, And ate into itself for lack Of somebody to hew and hack."
