What is the meaning of all this? I will loosen his chains. Voice! Speak! Where is the door? HERMANN. Oh, have mercy, sir seek no further, I entreat for mercy's sake desist! CHARLES. Locks, bolts, and bars, away! It must come out. Now, for the first time, come to my aid, thief-craft! THE OLD MAN. Mercy on a poor wretch! Mercy! That is my father's voice! OLD MOOR. I thank thee, merciful Heaven!
Hermann, a leader of the Germans, gathered the tribes together and utterly destroyed the army of Varus. Whenever Augustus thought of this dreadful disaster, he would cry out, "O Varus, give me back my legions!" The Rhine and the Danube became the northern boundaries of the Roman conquests.
Falk sat up, but except for a very noticeable enlargement of the pupils, till the irises of his eyes were reduced to two narrow yellow rings, his face, I should judge, was incapable of expressing excitement.
